What are you playing right now/have just finished playing? What platform is it on? What genre is it? Did you enjoy it? Would you recommend it? What's the fandom like? Anything you want to say about the game.
I'm currently playing Final Fantasy IV DS. I played the original, so the story isn't exactly new or surprising to me. I'm currently rather liking the new cutscenes though, that add a whole extra level of emotion to certain scenes for me. For those that have never played Final Fantasy IV, it was originally a SNES game that has been remastered for the DS. It is an RPG where you take the role of Cecil, a dark knight who is forced to abandon his Kingdom because of his principles. The plot seems to be about Cecil going around defeating bad guys and saving Crystals (similar to Final Fantasy III) but Final Fantasy IV also has a love story at the heart of it, and can be quite moving because of it. It's definitely one of the best of the pre-PS ones (just behind VI). It's recommended~

Mesopotamia is my focus and my dissertation is on Mesopotamian/Ancient Near Eastern epic poetry so you'll probably get lots of me whining about ancient Sumerian/Babylonian on my journal XD Greece to me is my favourite European ancient society. Rome... I hate. Passionately. Barbarians the lot of them XD Ancient Egypt tends to be boring at an academic level though, no brains out of noses, mummies or bood of the dead but all how temples were built, the economic benefits of the Nile and memorising kings of nearly 30 Dynasties D8
I've never studied medieval history, apart from at school, and never really anything beyond the British Isles...

I took Latin for six years, and got a pretty solid grounding in Roman history. I find it all hilarious, basically, which probably makes me a terrible person but there you go.
My medieval history obsession was the Plantagenets, basically from Henry II to King John (so, covering the Magna Carta, one of the Crusades, Richard the Lionhearted who was epically awesome in a lot of ways and failboat ahoy in others, and Eleanor of Aquitaine who was pretty badass for a woman in that era). I haven't done much research since graduating. Maybe I should look into that. XD
