    What did you last eat?

    I've just been drinking water today. Haven't felt hunger in a while now.

    Usama Bin Laden DEAD!

    Usama Bin Laden DEAD!

    Actually the plan was to kill Osama, not capture him. He was unarmed when he was shot.

    Usama Bin Laden DEAD!

    Osama wasn't the "biggest" terrorist leader or whatever. It's been mentioned before, but he was merely the public face of al-Qaeda; there are thousands of others just as determined as him. One person dying isn't going to discourage them and prompt them to give up their holy war, but rather...

    Usama Bin Laden DEAD!

    This has no basis in reality. Bin Laden's death will do nothing but make him a martyr for the terrorists' cause. They're going to want revenge, which results in more bloodshed. I guess you could call it a symbolic victory, but in the end it won't amount to anything good.

    Usama Bin Laden DEAD!

    If this has any effect on anything, it's for the worse. Now al-Qaeda has a new martyr to motivate them. As for me, I'm not going to celebrate a man's death, no matter what he did. No, it couldn't. He's already been replaced by al-Qaeda's second-in-command. Bin Laden was just the public face of...

    Confusion about Zanarkand (SPOILERS)

    I think they left the bit about Dream Zanarkand's location a bit too vague. Does it exist in the physical world or some other plane of existence? If the latter is the case, then how did Sin attack it? Also, why did it attack it?

    Musicians playing with emotion vs. musicians playing with technique

    I don't really see what's so bad about, as you like to put it, "making shit up". It really is a challenge to come up with a great solo on the fly and impress the crowd, and I think it's much more enjoyable for the audience as well. It shows no effort in the sense that the guitarist pretty much...

    Musicians playing with emotion vs. musicians playing with technique

    I couldn't disagree more. If I hear a guitarist play a solo exactly like it was recorded, I get tired. It shows NO effort. Improvising and doing it well requires more effort than anything a guitarist does in his or her career, memorizing doesn't. Improvisation shows the player actually knows how...

    Interest Check - Terrible Children

    I'd join in without hesitation.

    Music now is as bad or as good as it ever was

    It's just that the music they play on the radio nowadays is bad. Think back to the days when Pink Floyd was one of the biggest bands out there. Now we have... Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. So yeah. A lot of the most famous artists today are pretty much products conceived by the marketing people...

    Idea for story?

    First, you should know a thing or two about narratives before starting a project like this. Wikipedia is a good source for this. There's also Joseph Campbell's Monomyth, which, while not completely obligatory, is an interesting read and might help you refine some aspects of your story. In the...

    Would you like to see another spinoff to this game?

    Absolutely not. I was already pissed by the way X-2 ruined X's awesome, bittersweet ending, and I can't help feeling another sequel is only going to make it worse. However, if they did something epic like Sin returning instead of a half-assed Charlie's Angels routine, I might be interested.

    Final Fantasy Theory

    Yeah, well... It's pretty obvious there's no single universe here, but a multiverse. They're not parallel worlds, but are proven to be connected. FFXII's Bestiary entry on Gilgamesh says he's capable of traveling from one world to another, and he's seen carrying weapons from other FF worlds...

    League of Roleplayers

    I'd love a Silent Hill RP. I'd also like to join the League, even though I haven't had the chance to RP yet.

    How did you feel about traveller's spheres healing the party completely?

    I had nothing against it. I wouldn't say it made the game easier, though. It rather made the healing procedure much more convenient.

    Is Seymour the real main villian?

    They really set him up to be the main villain during the course of the game, but in the end he was just kind of tossed aside to make way for Yu Yevon. I'd still say he's the primary baddie, mainly because he was most involved with the party and attacked them on a personal level as well. Or...

    [24/03] Final Fantasy Type-0: Latest Screens and Details

    Is this part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis anymore?

    Uncharted Movie Preferred Characters.

    I must be the only one excited about the film. Not because it's based on Uncharted, but because of the director. Russell's definitely one of the better filmmakers working today, having directed great films like Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees and The Fighter. I don't really mind if they have to...
