i think the problem with Up was the fact that the beginning was the part that played with your emotions. it's like how i think full metal jacket ends with lawrence shooting himself, even tho i totally know that's not where it ends. i haven't seen toy story 3 yet, but i get the appeal of up. even it ruined itself for me early on.

ha, yeah, i don't plan on my chickens staying in a coop except at night either. that just sounds inhumane, they come home every night anyway. they're better at finding home than dogs or cats, honestly, they'll just go and graze and come home ready for cuddling and water. anyone who thinks chickens are gross has never had a chicken come home looking for them. it melts your heart.

i love boxers! that and a beagle is what i want when i get a house w/ a yard to not torture them with. i can't honestly have a dog in my apartment without knowing they'll be miserable for like half the week

i'm a strategy consultant for probably the most recognized job board in at least the US, possibly some other countries as well. i proactively call out on customers who pay more than $10K with us a year to try to make sure they're using our website as effectively as they can be, which includes telling them how to use their common sense and also telling them about seeker behavior we're able to observe. i spend a lot of time in PPT and fuddling with stats. i've worked at this company for a long time, and before i did this i was the only person in the company who did customer service for our federal customers so i'm used to doing my own work and kind of telling my bosses what i do and not the other way around. which is probably the only reason i can still work there without committing murder. i'm thinking about getting into project management and finishing my bachelor's degree, but there's no rush because i like what i do. which feels, might i just say, fucking gooooooood.

it really did i find that game unplayable now, but i can play all the others. there's just something silly about the perspective or something that doesn't age well at all.

i do have to completely admit that on all levels ps4 was a better game than ps3 (but i also remember thinking OMG this is as good as games are ever going to look! when i first saw ps3) and chrono trigger did the "different ending" thing waaay better (especially as i got towards the last few options of ps3 it was more and more similar to something it had done before - it didn't reward you for finding all the possible endings, it only really rewarded you for half) so i will freely admit that nostalgia is probably the main reason for it being my favorite. still a great game, though, and i feel like no one else ever remembers it. they're all about 2 and 4 and probably sonic or something. i just feel like i have to remind people that's not what it was all about. there was sooooo much more awesome shit.

i can't wait until things stop being "neat" so they can focus on "good". novelty is only novel for so long.

somehow games really did suck less in 16 bit, even if they really sucked. i'm going to guess probably because no matter what they didn't spend that much time on it total. like ffxiii sucked, but honestly probably only relative to the amount of time they spent on story v. trying to make snow's chest look hot naked (which they did succeed at, for a moment) so... yeah, olden times, simpler times, how i miss ye. you had folks focusing on lovely things like gameplay and story.

honestly when shining force came out even though it was my favorite game i never owned it. the only place that had it was a local rental shop, we looked forever and could find nowhere near us to buy it, and it was obviously pre-internet days so i think i rented that game for more than my mom paid for my sega. oh well, she was happy to do it and i got to finish it. when i grew up a bit and discovered emulators i was sooooooooooo excited.

i too try to make it sound a bit more noble but i just hate people. and everyone who thinks chicken coops are too smelly are welcome to just avoid our houses.

glad i'm not the only aspiring misanthrope... i mean farmer. yeah.

yeah, it seems like having chickens is either a love or hate thing. no one feels like it's just ok, people either adore having chickens or hate it. i had a friend who had chickens when i was little and i remember loving them, but if i finally get room to have some and i hate them / think they're a pain in the ass i'll make everyone who told me so some delicious cookies!

i loved all the phantasy stars, no love for 3 there? 3 was my favorite and it holds the distinguishing title of the first game i ever replayed the entire way through right away because i had to play it every way possible. i don't know if it's because i'm a girl or what but i really loved the whole having kids and playing as your kid thing. the shining force series i still replay all the time. it was more until ff tactics came out on the psp, that took over a little bit. if they made a new shining force with the classic gameplay i would probably die from happiness. you should remedy this immediately.

aspiring i guess. i'd mainly like the ability to be entirely self-sufficient if it came to that.

i only had a genesis during the 16 bit days. i don't regret it at all. i got to play some fabulous exclusives like toe jam and earl and ecco the dolphin right when they came out and even though as a fan of rpgs i did get into fights with some of my friends about the viability of the genesis v. the snes i will still argue that the phantasy star and shining force series were more than worth my waiting to play some of the final fantasies that i didn't get to play until later in my teens due to my lack of snes. actually it still kind of irks me when people fail to acknowledge the fact that sega actually did have some pretty bad ass exclusives when they talk about the superiority of the snes. it's like they're refusing to play fantastic games still because of a console war we had when we were like 10. get over it people!

http://xkcd.com/30/ i still snicker every time i see it.

and if anyone has not seen the excellent sketch comedy show the state that used to be on mtv in the 90s WATCH IT!!! it's hilarious.

zombie zen sounds cute. if she doesn't like them go ahead, kick her in the taco, you've probably made more effort than lots of other brothers make for their sisters just by asking us all for advice. she should feel terrible for slighting you.

yeah, girls really aren't that into marvel. i agree. it's bizarre. have you tried here? you can get like anything put onto any kind of schlock you want. also being a girl and being amused by zombies i highly recommend anything that says "braaaaaaains"

chickens can smell really bad, i will admit, especially when you have a bunch, but i really only plan on having like 4 and keeping them well groomed. plus their poop makes nice fertilizer.

... i'm sorry your day is bad. here have this. it should help too.

i want a house with a yard big enough for goats and chickens and a really big garden. quite possibly in the middle of the woods somewhere that i could fortify in the event of impending zombie apocalypse.

i can. also possibly due to gender and previous chosen profession.
