Achieving a Perfect Grade

Posted on October 26, 2010 by Aith

So after reviewing my two most recent fan-related acquisitions to which I lost my wallet to, I found myself a bit nostalgic for my gaming past. Since my last two reviews involved the Final Fantasy franchise (FFVII to be exact), I figured it would suit to reminisce a bit on another Final Fantasy-themed item I lost my wallet to several several years ago… Continue reading →

Scent of Sephiroth

Posted on August 23, 2010 by Aith

To kick-start Riding the Net, my first post is going to be about how I lost my wallet to that item right over there which happens to be a 50mL Sephiroth-themed crystal bottle of Eau de Toilette.

Yes, you heard me right.

Sephiroth-themed Eau de Toilette.

In other words, a bottle of perfume of the Eau de Toilette variety (1/6th of the concentration of perfume – thank god!) themed after Sephiroth from the Final Fantasy VII Compilation fame (or infamy as it were). Continue reading →
