I wasn’t able to hear the words of the song over the sound of my own screams.
This. Never. Happened.
Twelve Years
Even allegedly smart people can make life-changing blunders that seem very, very obvious in retrospect.
The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.

The story of me. If you're looking for a picture of what it was like growing up in the seventies, then this is for you.
WHY AREN’T YOU WATCHING FULL METAL ALCHEMIST. GET ON THE BALL JERKY
Tessa is quite the designer, isn’t she?
Yes she is. I can’t wait to see the rollcoaster I’m sure they have on board. And I’ll bet the waterpark is awesome!
She also needs to do something about the door locks so Sergeant Majors don’t just walk in and park themselves on her sofa to drink and smoke. Not to mention that little problem she had with pipes in the middle of hallways.
If this series had stopped after the end of the first dramatic arc, it would have been incredible. As it is, it’s still quite good and one of my favorites, but there are some real groaners, and to me the biggest one is that Kanamé and Souské went through too much together at the end of the show for them to not bond pretty damned close. Yeah, they’re “only” 16, but they’re human. Watch their communication during the final episodes, and consider the symbology and implications. (Being vague here to avoid spoilers for Shamus).
Skeeve the Impossible:
Meh. At least this show has a *plot*. As improbable as it is.
sheeve the impossible is gay and fancies edward, fma sucks, and forgive me i’m drunk
seriously tho, fmp is awesome, shamus is correct tessa is cute and ubi roi poses a valid point
this comment is many years late and posibly none of the people above will ever read this :(
The two rules of a good, sensible blog:
1. Don’t post angry. It never ends well.
2. Don’t post drunk. That usually ends even worse.
And the people above probably never did, but a fellow archive-digger did, and that’s what counts.
