Alright, time for me to try talking about something that isn't videogames. I've been a big Firefly fan for over a decade now. My mum was a fan before me and when I hit my teenage years she made sure to get me hooked on it. Of course, everyone knows the heartbreak that comes with being a Firefly fan - it's so easy to get swept up by it, but there's only one season and a movie.

I still don’t think I am in love with it, but I just think that’s a personal taste thing because I’m not really into these kinds of games anyway. But I was never into turn based RPGs either and I love regular Pokémon games. The gameplay is fun enough, the story is excellent and I really enjoy the ZA...
