I like to root for games to succeed.

Maybe Chaos was the friends me made along the way?

I’m serious thinking that FF14 hijacked all the good devs there.

Ah, this brings back memories.

Sora may have been announced as the last fighter, but Doomguy and Isabelle together at last is the real final celebration we needed.

While not my #1 pick, I had him predicted for my top 10, and even I know he was one of the top most-requested characters on both eastern and western markets.

She’s there. She’s played by John Cena, so you can’t see her. 

I support Adam Driver as Waluigi so long as he’s the ONLY one in the film that’s in live action. 

It’s been awhile since I’ve logged in (having a child derailed my journey a bit), but I’ve never seen anything but class from almost all Final Fantasy XIV players. Whether it’s holding vigils, being invited to weddings, helping out new players, stick together all night to help one another get gear or item drops they…

It was the 90s. We were very much in the Rob Liefeld proportions era of art.

There are THOUSANDS of good games out there that are also worth your time and interest that aren’t…

You can put a new coat of paint on the outside of a house, but it’s still probably better to get rid of the rat infestation on the inside first. 

Hit the lever!

Ikea is often good for giving me ideas on what to do, even if I don’t buy from them directly.

That’s okay. Just remember the Hi-Nu also exists, and I too haven’t been able to find a Sazabi at an affordable price for decades. 

I mean, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, sounds like a duck...

Earlier this week, I was reading about how Japanese companies treat the musical works of composers like Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda. While not every case is the same, western companies very much like a sense of ownership entirely in how they handle music as a work-for-hire situation, while Japanese studios…
