how final fantasy 13 and 7 are the exact same...
So I rented a copy of Final Fantasy XIII back in August, and just now I’ve recovered enough willpower to talk about it. In this post, I’ll explain to you why Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy VII are the same game, because they are.  1. Both games start off the exact same way Taking a train ride into a dystopian, futuristic city? Check. Androgynous main character with an...

30. favorite game of all time.
Phantasy Star Online.  I’ve been playing it on and off for half a decade, so you know it’s obviously addicting. There’s a PC version, but my computer can’t run it that well. Maybe when I get a new desktop someday, I’ll be able to play it :> And that, everyone, is the conclusion of the Video Game 30-day challenge. And it only took me 60 days. Lol. I’m less...

oh shit, son.
So I got my midterm grades in for 2 of my classes.  British Literature: B (not bad since I had a rough start) And for Spanish, I attended 99% of the classes up to present time, handed in all the assignments, participated, and had one problem: I messed up on the midterm a little. However, he said it’s not a huge part of the grade.  Guess what my grade is, despite that?  D. Yeah. A...

open letters, part 9. i think.
Another round of these. Here we go!  Fax machines: You’re cool and all, but seriously, I don’t see a really big purpose for you. Faxing is like printing an email. We’re in an age where everything is instant and paper itself is becoming obsolete. Sorry, bud. I’m gonna have to let you go. You have till tonight to clean out your desk. It’s nothing personal, it’s...

touche, economy. i quit.
I went to the hiring seminar at Apple Inc. tonight. It was from 7:30 to 9 and it went a little like this:  We were shown presentations, had to fill in quiz questions—one question of which I couldn’t answer—and what hours we’ll be available for work, and it was a nice group conversation. Then the woman presenting dropped this bombshell at the end of the meeting:  ...

grammarant. yes, I just made wordplay... *feels...
I know this might make me sound like a tool, but I absolutely hate it when people talk in butchered English (unless it’s their second language, which I then totally understand why)—Like, if you’re born into this language, you should have no problem learning how to articulate and write full sentences. As I just said, this language is insanely difficult to learn if you aren’t...
