I'm Canadian. At my current school, where I'm studying computer engineering, I've only needed one "English" course, beyond an exam to determine whether my English skills were up to par, or at least close enough to be acceptable. It was a course on communication, and I hated it because it was...

I don't really like the looks of having non-breakable weapons, especially after the removal of weapon weight in Awakening. At this point, there is no reason to use anything other than things like Silver and especially Brave weapons. In other Fire Emblem games, you needed to ration out your...

I realize I'm a little late to the party, but that whitelist is really really small. Like, disconcertingly so. Star Fox 64 is missing. There's no Fire Emblem. No Pokemon. No Earthbound. No Mario & Luigi RPGs besides before Bowser's Inside Story. No Mario RPG (though that one was developed by...

Something I find interesting: most people here seem to think of video LPs exclusively when they think of LPs. Not that I don't understand, of course; screenshot LPs never really took off in the same way that video LPs did. Just an observation. What do you all think in general about Let's...

I'm about 5'10". I'm actually really self-conscious about it; my dad is really tall, and I always wanted to be his height. Now, on the other hand, I can never seem to find pants in my size. I seem to be unusually slim for my height. My preference for jeans that fit loosely around the legs...

I can't stand the phrase "same difference". It's dismissive and ridiculous. I know it's usually used in response to minor, nit-picky corrections in the first place, but a correction is a correction. That's not to say it's a big deal, of course, but it'd bother me a lot less if someone would just...

1) Technically speaking, Team Fortress 2, which I was playing with friends, but I'm not going to count that because all we ever go is play what is functionally, though not necessarily literally, rocket-tag on an all-crits server. It's fun, don't get me wrong, because a lot of stupid stuff...

I'd be embarrassed to show my parents and most of my friends. My best friend already knows about it, so I wouldn't be embarrassed to show her at all. As for my (hypothetical) significant other, if I have to be embarrassed about the contents of my hard drive with her, I don't think I'd want to be...

I use 12 hour most of the time, simply because that's what I'm used to, but I can work with 24 hour if I need to. I like the 24 hour system, don't get me wrong; it makes much more sense than using each time twice a day. However, I've been using the 12-hour clock since I was a little kid, and I...

Visual novels definitely have a very, very niche appeal. I really don't think that they should be tossed in the metaphorical trash can; I happen to really enjoy the format. I do admit, however, that there is a lot of shitty visual novels, but that's because Sturgeon's law is in full effect. I...

I don't see how it's necessarily limiting. The author obviously had some intention when writing their work, whether it be to say something profound or to simply to earn a paycheck. The reality of the story is what the author intended it to be. This does not mean that the meaning that someone...

I dislike the concept of the Death of the Author. It's not without its analytical merit, of course, but I think that there is a "correct", for lack of a better term, way to interpret a work of fiction. This is because there is always an intent behind such things; there is always a story or...

Aggressive glass cannons of various types tend to be my preferred classes. In fighting games, my favourite characters tend to be rushdown and zoning characters. My favourite character of all time to play as is the Continuum Shift Extend incarnation of Lambda-11, on account of her being an...

I can be a fast typist, despite the fact that I rarely use anything besides my index fingers and thumbs, apart from a couple keys (such as the E and S keys, on which I sometimes use my middle finger). I never learned to "five-finger type", and my home keys may as well be WASD. However, I tend to...

I read all the books, somewhat begrudgingly after I read Goblet of Fire and hated it. I really didn't like the direction Harry Potter went in after Prisoner of Azkaban. I watched a few of the movies, but I didn't really go out of my way to watch any of them after I was disappointed by the...
