I have had this article by David Wong bookmarked since it was first published in December. I like to go back and read it for encouragement every now and then.

One line in particular always hits home: "You hate yourself because you don't do anything." That's me. That's my life right there, in one sentence. I hate myself because I don't do ( Read more... )

So! Last Sunday, my old man took me with him on a six-day trip to Santiago.

It was THE BUSINESS. Not only is Santiago one of the most beautiful, most awesome cities I've ever been too, but the hotel gave us all the complimentary wine we could ask for-and by we, I mean me, because Pops doesn't drink wine. Ane wine did I drink. A lot ( Read more... )

Because I haven't geeked out in a while.

A good portion of my summer has been dedicated to video games, specifically the Final Fantasy series. (Contrary to popular belief, I do play games from other series.)

I remember spending many a lonely afternoon on my bedroom floor with my PS1, safely hidden from the jocks and the sun, toiling ( Read more... )

Am I the last to hear about the sequel to Dissidia? It excites me. Not so much because Dissidia was a particularly good game (it was alright), but because the second installment will feature Kain, Tifa, Vaan, and LIGHTNING; all characters I would have loved to have seen the first time around. Also, shirtless Tidus? Son, I am approve ( Read more... )

It is entirely possible that I am completely addicted to Persona 3. It's just so...AWESOME. Like, it's hard, so I keep dying and going back and replaying everything 900 times, but that's okay because it rocks! When I finally do finish it (which still wont take long at this rate), I heavily debate purchasing the special edition Persona 3: FES, ( Read more... )
