What Vin really wants today: Finish up remaining work tasks and attempt to get some time in playing a certain RPG video game that sounds vaguely similar to 'Shminal Shmantasy' at some point this evening.

- Purchase Final Fantasy XIII from semi-local NYC area Best Buy

- A review of the Final Fantasy XIII experience, thirty minutes in.

- Next Final Fantasy game might have DLC content after all?
Turns out that downloadable content might be available for the next installment of the beloved RPG franchise. Want more proof? It even says so right there on the back of the box.

- Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360 is about seventy percent complete.
