Dear Square Enix,
I just pre-ordered Final Fantasy XIII, despite the incident (FFX-2 through FFXII) in which you betrayed my trust. Why would I take such a leap of faith? Dude keeps a chocobo in his afro. This tells me that you’re ready to return to whimsy AND good characters.

Therefore, I want a damn PhD. “To earn a Ph.D., one must accomplish two things. First, one must master a specific subject completely. Second, one must extend the body of knowledge about that subject.” (Purdue)

GAME.COM →
I was one of the lucky few to have owned a game.com in 1997 - it had a touch screen and could somehow connect to the internet. I also had Duke Nukem, except the graphics were so bad you could barely tell what was going on or where you were in the map. For more infortmation go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game.com

Food vs Education
I find my love of cooking good, whole, flavorful, healthy food interferes with studying at night. My desire to make a frittata with top quality parmesan and maitake mushrooms often trumps my need to read about marketing. My creations of hearty butternut vegetable soups with delicious spices require attention and care that cannot be split with a textbook. However, if I want to keep buying good...

“The purpose stated by many is to spread breast cancer awareness, but the primary motivating factor is likely just a more female-oriented brand of lulz. Sort of a ‘no boys allowed, let them figure it out’ type of game.”

The Stuff of Nightmares
Me: If I said "He had a laugh like a cartoon leprechaun" would you be able to imagine what I'm talking about?
Matt: Probably. But the more pressing question is how did this come up?
Me: I heard a laugh like that. Just now. It haunts me.
