90's cartoons. All of them. (And even going back a bit further, 80's cartoons - Thundercats!) Kid's toys that didn't have to be politically correct or so completely mediocre as to avoid any kind of potential offense at all. Kid's tv that wasn't lifeless and/or surreal to the point of...

Congraaaaaaaaats!!! =DDDDD

I think this is a very good point. I'm caught somewhere between being a sceptic and a believer, in so much as I don't believe a lot of the popularised tales of hauntings, UFO sightings, and other paranormal activity, but I do believe that there is every possibility that there are things out...

I think that conversely it can have the opposite effect and make you want to play MORE. Sure, if you were really taken with Aeris perhaps you'd feel like you want to put the game down for a bit if you can't play her any more and you know you have two more discs to go through without her, but...

i am continually impressed that people actually managed to do this without using the glitch to cheat. :D You guys rock! (I suck XD)

I wrote my thesis on social behavioural problems (focusing on but not limited to youth) in Japan, and actually you'd be surprised how much bizarre cases like this come up in Asia. Obviously, I know the most about Japan specifically... But although off-the-wall crimes happen all over the world...

I guess I usually rant long and hard about work, but today was seriously something else. My alarm didn't go off this morning, for reasons I have yet to understand. I checked it twice before I went to sleep, I went to bed earlier than usual... My work starts at 8am, which means I have to be...

Where does Wakka's fall in this list? XD

I know that there has been at least one thread about this game in the past, but it was almost a year ago now, so I thought it would be okay to open up a new conversation. Am I the only person around who's played the game? I understand that it's never been released outside of Japan (and I quite...

That was exactly my strategy, too. My best friend mocked me when I said I was on to the lightning minigame, but it didn't actually take too many attempts before I got it. Actually, the one thing I can't seem to bring myself to do is play Blitzball. :( I'm sure I enjoyed it the first time the...

I'm curious to know how many people actually accomplished this. I played it for days and days until I gave up and used the cheat, convinced that it was going to send me mad before I ever got anywhere near 0.0.0. (Just FYI - I'm sure everyone already knows, but in the Japanese version there was...

Oh GOD. Now that is really scary... The first FF wasn't out until two years after I was born. But thankfully, the first one I actually played was actually FFVII. When I was a kid I didn't often pick which games I wanted to play, I just got them picked out for me at Christmas and birthdays and...

Thanks for the welcomes, guys. :) >Hope Estheim -- it's entirely possible if you are determined enough!

Hooray for English! I would hate to have to learn that as a foreign language, it SUCKS. I live in Japan though and work as a translator. I love languages but am too busy concentrating on my Japanese (though I always get told I know more than enough or I speak it better than native speakers...

I'm on a Stephen King kick at the moment. I just finished The Shining and now I'm reading Pet Sematary. It's funny.. I'm a big reader and I read a wide range, but I'm rarely as aware of the craft of the author I'm reading as I am with King. I often stop and think, "oh, that was a really...

I have to say that I find having male friends to be... Difficult. And honestly, it might sound egocentric for me to explain that statement, but my general experience is that no matter how much I feel like I would like to be friends with a guy, at some point every single one of my guy friends has...

Yup! :D Sure am! *...Or sure think I am, anyway... May be something to do with living in robotic metropolis....*

Oh god. So, I'm 23 years old, but people in Japan often seem to think that I'm more like 30. They say it's because I "feel" mature, that I dress nicely and am not a complete and utter retard. It's nice, in a way, but the other day I was out with a friend who is 27. She got told she looked about...

Thanks for all the welcomes, guys. :) I promise I will behave myself! Ooooh, Xu likes Lamento? The soundtrack to that game is one of my favourite soundtracks ever. It came out when I very first moved to Japan but I only started playing it this year. (Right now I am being hideously lazy with it...

Thank you, Bambi! I pretty much DID have to sacrifice body parts and make intangible promises to get here. Well, perhaps it wasn't THAT bad, but it took effort, let me tell you!
