I don't get jack squat anymore. From anybody. /kill my am self Otherwise I would very much enjoy both those things.

Man, I wish I was young enough for people to actually bother give me gifts. You get as tall as the adults do and it's over!

I have no idea how you have the patience to play through eternal sonata more than once fuck that game fuck it so damn hard i've never felt more stupider while playing a game in my LIFE also for added effect you should imagine me saying that while i look completely expressionless and the camera pans extremely close to my face, and just sits there for an awkward ammount of time before letting you go. my mouth should keep moving even after i'm done saying anything. and i should say something like 'derp derp derp'

Vincent, I'd caution against trying games simply for accolades and some such...I can't tell you how many times I've been duped into something because people said SO many good things about it and it got SUCH good reviews/awards, only to find out that it's not my cup of tea and that's why I needed to beconvinced to purchase it it in the first place.

Oh man..actually, I'm surprised that SF doesn't catch as much flak as some other games do. Some stuff is just soooo damn blatant.

aww but the kittie doesn't sound or look all that happy :(

sorry people still on the tv i even took a nap woke up they were still on the tv this is what people must feel like when i'm on the tv back home haha...oh well tomorrow when we do our daylight hour run we should play for a long time. LONG TIME

cant just yet but soon

You're never going to live this down. I can't stop laughing

the fuck does this say

sounds like the type of person that says they're a hackerzzz on their xbl profile so reading that almost made me choke on my gum for some reason

COKEEEEEEEEE

i'd spend time with you, coke Q_Q

the best best sparkle poop poop

We're not disagreeing. I was just extrapolating on some of the things you said. I'm just saying, if they have been tricked into it and (and the fact that it takes a taste test to prove it), then the marketing is successful. if they can straight up tell you they like pepsi better than coke but they drink coke anyway despite having the ability and means to get pepsi, then the marketing would have failed because they'd disbelieve it had there been succesful marketing, they must be drinking coke because it's better in their minds would be the line of thought. does that make sense? it's what i was trying to say earlier.

*idea* Cereal boxes... made from cereal! could probs work wonders for a place that prides itself in its natural-type products.

not about to rank them but -Anything Borges -Most of Ayn Rand -The Picture of Dorian Gray, probs the most influential book on my philosophy/outlook on everything -Anything Jonathan Safran Foer -Anything Jhumpa Lahiri -The Fortunate Pilgrim, Mario Puzo (who wrote the godfather, btw) -High Fidelity -House of Leaves There are a couple of others but they slip my mind right now.

i don't actually know if it costs more but i will say that the cardboard box is more important because cereal is a low-involvement purchase and so the marketing strategies are peripheral (based on p much nothing and absolutely about trigger features--the 99 cents, the pretty box/girl/etc) than argumentative (this is reserved for high involvement purchases usually). also marketers know that because it's so low involvement kids can rope their parents into buying a box so they'll appeal to them more w/ cartoon characters and such /the more you know also you're talking to someone who is studying marketing.

I specifically cited taste tests for a reason--there, the person clearly does not realize on their own what they actually like and so I think it would be clear to say that the marketing has succeeded. read what i wrote again!

pffft marketing does not make beer popular. people liked to drink way before marketing even existed. and if someone is clearly able to identify, on their own (and not some random taste test or whatever), that they like pepsi better than coke then the marketing has failed. not to mention that coke has a higher penetration rate and part of their distribution strategy is to be more ubiquitous than any other brand--'desire at arm's length' is the motto. i would also say that planned obsolescence is the thing that car companies think of first.

I used that as an first initial indication that sent out a red flag for how downhill things would get from there, not as an example that embodies the pinnacle what I just described about her character. Not to mention it's completely random.
