Oh my God, Saramis! You are so right! Your comment has finally helped me to realize that I too am a victim. For the past five years I have been showing up at this place and for eight hours strait people try to guilt me into doing work. (ETA This continues to this day and I only share this cos even though I haven't…

Yes. Chocobos. Gotta be chocobos.

They've at least outlasted Blockbuster and Borders.

Not surprised they don't take them anymore, but I still see about 8 or 10 of them for sale when I'm in their stores.

Go to Goodwill.

I have quite a few right-wingers in my family and they all seem perplexed and terrified that Trump is winning the nomination. My facebook feed is full of them complaining about it. But I'm thinking maybe they doth protest too much. Elections are by secret ballot. I'm thinking they are too embarrassed to admit they…

Pocari Sweat.

Exclusives are made to move hardware off shelves. Those consoles and handhelds don't sell themselves! And then once a customer has married themselves to the hardware… Boom! Customer lock-in fool!

Damn. I thought it was going to end with Locke and Boone blowing open the hatch.

I love the Simple series! Such horrible cheap games.

Okage. Yeah that game was pretty weak. You are spot on about the character designs and goofy "affecting" story. But boy do those maps suck, just long flat sprawling maps. I had expecting more varied terrain for some reason (box art maybe?) but only the final dungeon or village had anything interesting going on.

40 years of wondering in the desert will do that to your narrative.
