    Stupid question on an eighth-grade reading exam

    I'd be willing to bet a hell of a lot of money that that is not a genuine question that actually appeared on a real test.

    Books you finished and just thought: "Well...that was shit"

    I'm surprised anyone would read that book for more than a hundred pages or so if they didn't like it, let alone finish it. It is one of the longest novels ever published, after all, why punish yourself? :P Personally, I... got something out of it, at least. It was as nothing compared to her...

    Have you ever played through a game and completely missed a game play feature?

    I missed a hell of a lot in my first couple of playthroughs of Planescape: Torment, including one optional PC, and so, so much of the story. Of course, the game's designed like that, so I'm not too hard on myself.

    Unpopular Opinions

    Hmm, okay then... Religion is, overall, a bad thing. There is no God, that's pretty plain to see for anyone with an open mind. The case could be made for religion still being beneficial for humanity regardless of its basis in fact, I don't personally think that's true, but it bears...

    The last movie you watched, is your life story.

    The Devils on the Doorstep. Sweet, I get to live in Japanese-occupied China in the dying days of WWII. NOT a good place to be.

    Draw the game you are currently playing in MS paint

    Woo. I suck. Did take about 30 seconds though.

    Upcoming games you're excited about!

    I just played through Kingdom Hearts for the first time in nearly 10 years, so right now I'm looking forward to KH3. It'll happen one day. I hope.

    Where do/did/will you go to college?

    First day of Uni for me today, Bachelor of Social Science. Not my first foray into the world of Uni... I did a worthless BA a decade ago. Was fun, though.

    Poll: How Happy Are You Being Single?

    I'm a pretty selfish person in a lot of ways, I love having my own space and freedom from obligation. I would be willing to give that up for the right girl, but she'd have to be really right for me. And I for her, naturally.

    Poll: Would you date a transgendered person?

    I would not. For me the psychological barrier would just be too much. Which is a pity, really, as it narrows the field, and frankly the number of people who could tolerate me as a partner is pretty limited already :P

    Poll: Stop being so DAMN Miserable!!

    Ha, the best mark I got in high school was for an essay comparing those three novels. Anyway, I agree! Too many people I know dwell on the negative. I'm one of the happiest people I know, despite not having a job/girlfriend (kind of)/family/plan for the future. Maybe I'm too stupid to know...

    To those who prefer Japanese voices...

    I love, love, love Final Fantasy, but I will admit the dialogue can be cheesy as hell. But it's a special sort of Japanese cheese, sincere and innocent and, to my mind, charming. Hearing that with an American accent just doesn't work. In fact hearing it in any way that is intelligible is doing...

    Sex is overrated

    Yeah, I'm almost inclined to agree that, for me, sex is overrated. Some people seem to really love it, to require it almost, which I imagine is quite nice if you also happen to be sexually attractive and don't have to stress too much about actually finding a partner. I personally was a virgin...

    How have your tastes in video games changed over the years?

    I've become a lot more discriminating, in that I play significantly fewer games and never persevere with a game I'm not enjoying. I guess it's natural as a kid, or at least a kid from a pretty impoverished background like I was, I never had much money for games, so the ones I owned, I really had...
