I'm guessing some of the questions you filled out were designed to automatically disqualify applicants if they didn't meet certain criteria. When I was submitting to job postings on Indeed.com, for instance, at the end of the questionnaire there was sometimes a final question, like "Are you willing to do so-and-so?" Or maybe they'd ask how many years of experience you have. Failure to answer correctly means they reject you outright -- you don't even get to submit your application. Frustrating, I know, but eventually you'll stumble on a posting where someone may actually read what you submitted...

*looks up Mark Meer* Oooh this guy did cool stuff. And Dave is doing stuff with the guy who did cool stuff. Success!

Forgive me. I suck. ;-;

How can I bail on something I don't even remember promising?! D:

... ...I ...

More like wondering how long those donuts would stay out there, maybe in the hopes I would get to keep them... except I could've just not bothered in the first place if I wanted them that badly. Fun fact: someone actually did take one. Then they altered my sticky note to say "Free donuts (at your own risk)". And Javelin, I'm glad my donut not-a-trap sparked some inspiration.

I left out a plate of donuts with a sticky note saying, "Free donuts (Not a trap)". It really wasn't a trap (well, they were probably a bit stale), but I was hoping that by saying it wasn't a trap, people would think it was a trap. I'm not sure what I was trying to accomplish.

Why does a head-abomination "need" to stay there for a week? Is this some kind of twisted experiment?

Never.

Personally I never thought Egoraptor's stuff was funny except for a select few of his animations (mainly Sequelitis). To me he seems much better at improv than in scripted stuff, so I much prefer him doing Game Grumps rather than his animations.

This heat bites. Just Friday I had to cut the drive home from work short and take shelter in a mall because I couldn't handle the heat (my car has no air conditioning). Then I made a quest to find a cheap but nice-looking shirt to buy because my current top had been so sweaty and stinky. Just fyi.

Dammit I hate it when I don't get the reference.

Very pretty. *-* A nice reminder that FFIX has my favorite world in the franchise.

Shoo, fly, go firetruck yourself.

Hard to do since I gotta go to work. The worst part is that when I do get sick enough, it's usually bad enough to make life needlessly unpleasant, but not so bad that I can justify staying home. It's like a sick joke (durr hurr). Aaaaand cue the light-headedness. Whee.

Yesterday I learned there's a bug going around, and I was bragging that I rarely get sick. Come this morning, and I'm feeling signs that the universe will soon be punishing me for my hubris.

Eww cucumbers.

Terra. My turn: he's man's(?) best friend and letter deliver-er.

Well, I hear they're keeping things like the crossdressing scene, so that's a promising sign. Still, I'm worried that Squeenix (and fans!) have gotten so used to the direction the Compilation took with the characters and story that it'll subconsciously influence the direction they'll take with the remake. I'm not even just talking about the story, I also mean things like the voice acting (why don't they tell Steve Burton that it's okay to emote a little more? Why?) We're talking years and years of spin-offs and portrayals that saturated the FFVII name, and all the fan familiarity that came with it. It seems like they've left their roots so far behind that I'm not sure how good they'll do at returning to it -- assuming they're truly interested in doing it at all. Then again... Cloud in a dress. They're keeping it in. Gotta have some hope, right?

To be honest the only hope I have for this game is that they don't make Cloud emo. Y'know, something more in line with his original portrayal, rather than what they turned him into in the Compilation and other appearances. It'd be nice if the remake reminded fans that, oh yeah, Cloud isn't eternally dark and broody, and while he was a serious character he was still determined, hopeful, trusted his friends with his problems, and could even crack a few jokes -- and this was after regaining his true self. Other than that, as long as they keep the core mechanics (turn-based battles, materia system, etc) and story, I'm not too picky about what to expect. It'd be awesome if it's awesome, but if it's not, hey, we'll always have the original.

Greek yogurt?

Hair + rainy weather = poof, bye-bye straight hair, hello lion's mane.

4chan is a place that encourages suicidal teenagers to off themselves and then pat themselves on the back for the successful troll. Are you that surprised by this?

He's a major Squeenix character -- of course he's blonde.

A thing talking about your very concern. The short answer is that these days, games are freakin' expensive to make. It's a greater gamble to make something new from scratch than it was before, and I guess in a business sense they think it's better to play it safe with things like ports, remakes, etc., because they already know those games will sell. Of course, I wish they'd be more willing to take risks (the stagnation is the main reason I've stopped paying attention to modern games, aside from a somewhat lack of interest), but I can at least understand why things are the way they are.
