Ah, puberty.

Until you see someone eating chocolate icecream.

If you do ever visit, just keep trying to tell yourself that it's only chocolate icecream. I mean, it's not, but deluding yourself might help.

As would Japanese, in very different ways.

Having looked into the eye of GOATSE I thought I was fairly immune to the negative effects of curiosity. Then that 2girls1cup thing came along and I was proven so very very wrong.

So, how good is Freedor? I want to know, because i'm from there.

Dude, your gamertag isn't working.

Yeah, this was even faster than Fio casting greater prunage on that Vista thread in the junkyard. Seriously though, functional metal prosthetics are the way to go.

haha, awsome.

Freeform teamkilling, horray!

Oh, yeah, HTML is a step up, though at least you're not on JAVA yet, that confused the crap out of me.

I have experience with Dreamweaver, what's the issue?

Possible thread win.

I like where this is going.

Yes, China is big on freedom of press right now.

Various things, but it doesn't matter since either way it's a Catch 22 and either way you continue to add diversity to the forum.

That's the point, i'm not talking about regimes, I don't like the PRC either, i'm talking about attitudes towards foreign cultures.

Erm, I hate your cultural views and i'm from a western country, why wouldn't someone from China? EDIT: Don't take this personally, it's just somthing to think about.

Not to be rude, but given your completely one-sided view of everything that isn't american you're not helping the cause.

That was my reaction after one episode, only, with better grammar.

The sad part is that any real 'victory' over china will probably be won culturally, not militaristically or economically. In which case, hating on them only slows that process down.

Spoiler:

Don't get me wrong, Tidus was even more annoying than that monkey moron from FFIX, and the english VA was pretty much horrible. There are a hundred other little things that are awful about the game. BUT, there are so many things they did that were a breath of fresh air for the series AND the genre that I have to give it credit. These include an actually tactical (and challanging) battle system that made great use of status effects and buffs/debuffs. Interesting character customisation (on the expert grid, which yanks didn't get iirc, it makes a huge difference) and weapon customisation. Characters that remained a vocal part of the party throughout the entire game, rather than just poping up for their sidequest then being mute for the rest of the thing. Art design that hasn't aged nearly as badly as the PSX era games (sprites are immortal, so pre-PSX hasn't suffered). And finally, a good coherant narrative. Even if the characters were all annoying, the narrative that carried them remained constant and flowed nicely from scene to scene, which gave the game a more polished feel than previous itirations. Basically, that is to say, despite much of it being smoke and mirrors I enjoyed being taken along for the ride even given the flaws. Not that I can blame anyone who hates it, the flaws were there.

Yeah, I was in a game shop today, and there were games in there, for the PSP!
