gogmagogFor some reason I'm feeling very nostalgic today - not for anything in particular, really, just for about everything. It's kind of a weird feeling, because normally I can put a specific name to nostalgia - like "oh, remember England?" or "oh, I remember that trip to Memphis!" But now it's just kind of a generalized nostalgia for all of my various past experiences. It's weird.
In related news, I just put together a ginormous playlist of all my '80s (and a little '70s) soft-rock. It is the AWESOME PLAYLIST OF DOOM! *insert silent squeeing here*
Okay, um, today was kinda eventful. I was part of a theory study group looking at the exam questions for our final, then Amy (one of Ben's friends who lives up here) took me out grocery shopping and to get some boots so that I'm a little more snow-ready. Afterwards, we picked my truck up from the shop and took it home. But having spent all day around other people, I'm feeling kinda lonely. But I keep telling myself that I'm getting ready to go home next weekend and spend most of a month around other people, so I should enjoy the solitude while I've got it. XD
Let's Positive Linking!
- Gay marriage passes in Britain, yay! Hahaha, the Pink Pound. XD
- Crimes against kids increasing in Japan. I like how even though their crime rate has risen 50% in the last four years, that just means they're up to 30 murders a year. FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

Edit: Remember the Escapist article I linked to a couple days back? Well, the author has put up a response to the criticisms, and it makes him sound like even MORE of a smug, pretentious fuck. If the Escapist article was irritating, this will make you want to either gouge your eyes out at this guy's ego or slap the fucktard silly over his puerile posing. (enkiae and I have been pointing and mocking and snarking over AIM all evening; it's fun, you should try it!)
Edit 2: Holy crap, a Tri-Ace double whammy: Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria and Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth have both been announced! The first is a sequel to Valkyrie Profile, only one of the best games for the PSOne (which I bought when it first came out, gave it to my sister a few years later when she was complaining about not having enough games, and then she promptly turned around and sold her game system and games for a pittance, AUGH); the second is a remake of the original for the PSP. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to do the MexicanRain Dance Localization Dance. And while I'm at it, I'll ask for a domestic release for Devil Summoner PSP too.
Edit 3: Oh no, Eugene McCarthy and Richard Pryor died. ;_;
Edit 4: Okay, by popular request (or just because I felt like putting it up):enkiae's and my snark over Chris Crawford's articles (both the original Escapist article and then his rebuttal posted on his own website which is linked above).
On the original article:
enkiae: TWITS WHO USE EXAMPLES FROM REAL LIFE DO NOT COMPREHEND THE POWERS OF MY HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES THAT I MADE UP!!!
...
enkiae: ahhh escapist magazine, if you got any more pretentious the sky would start raining The New Yorker and we'd all be wearing berrets designed by Christian Dior
And on his rebuttal:
yoshitsune: I love how he assumes they're all boys.
yoshitsune: BECAUSE IF THEY'RE READING A VIDEO GAME SITE CLEARLY THEY'RE NOT WOMEN
yoshitsune: WOMEN HAVEN'T EVOLVED TO BE GAMERS
...
enkiae: Using Freud for your idiocies? *finger snap and head shake* OH NO YOU DIDNAE!
enkiae: I like how he thinks he's a good writer cause his writing sounds like he had sex with a thesaurus
...
enkiae: he's basicly proposing a game where you get to rape women :S
yoshitsune: But it's not like women will find out about it to be offended - they're all too busy breastfeeding and watching soap operas.
enkiae: and trying to fool their man into thinking it's their baby
yoshitsune: using their advanced social skills!
enkiae: So I guess Mauray and Jerry Springer are the Devil in Chris' Evolutionary religion XD
enkiae: They tell you if she be lyin' bout the baby!
yoshitsune: How dare they!
...
(re: the emo wank at the end of Crawford's essay)
yoshitsune: LET ME PLAY THE WORLD'S SMALLEST VIOLIN FOR YOU
enkiae: He should get an LJ
yoshitsune: It's called the Internet, dumbass.
enkiae: then he could get replies from GothGrrl69 saying "omg me 2"
yoshitsune: No, no, his wank would tip LJ over the line into becoming a black hole of suckitude, so dense not even Quizilla results can escape!
...
enkiae: wow
enkiae: according to the statistics
enkiae: 43% of gamers are female
enkiae: GIRLS DUNT PLAY TEH GAMES BECUUUUUUUUUZ....??
yoshitsune: Clearly, their child-bearing hips prevent them from running to the game store, so by the time they get there the sprinting-evolved males have taken all the good games!
