    Hello how are you today

    "how are you?" is a common greeting here and if you go shopping or something, strangers will ask you this question straight away. I used to not give a shit about it but upon further reflection, it is actually an incredibly rude question to ask a stranger. Firstly, you don't actually care if...

    Serious Gaming: Questioning the value of it as a pastime

    I'd say I started to get tired with gaming at a fairly young age. By the time I finished high school I was just playing games mostly for the story. I'd spend about a week going through a game then I wouldn't play games intently for a month or two and move on to the next. By the time I was 19, I...

    Buy or download music?

    I prefer to buy music. Firstly, the quality sounds better. I also prefer listening to a CD in the car on repeat for a week or two as I find it allows me to become more familiar with the album. When I used to download most of my music, I found that I didn't appreciate it nearly as much. I'd just...

    Bastille - No Scrubs cover (feat. Ella - The xx)

    The loop from that XX song makes it seem more like a mash up. It's alright. The musical style and lyrics just seem too forced for me though. I don't mind Pompeii as it isn't overplayed over here. I think their cover of that rhythm of the night song is pretty good. Also, I didn't realise that...

    If you were to own Square-Enix, what would you do?

    I'd run the company into the ground because I wouldn't know how to operate it effectively.

    Are Exam Results Really Important?

    I think it does largely depend on what you are studying. For example, a friend of mine, who is studying law, often has exams that are worth 70 to 90% of the course which are designed in such a way so that very few people can finish them. I thought that this was absurd but, my buddy has a theory...

    It's cool to say that this game is overrated nowadays

    It's not cool to talk about final fantasy. Therefore saying that 'FFVII is overrated' is uncool by default. Personally the game fell short of my expectations, I played FFVII after having played most of the other games. I enjoyed it but I didn't think it was as good as the others. I think the...

    I find Japanese quite challenging but very enjoyable. The writing system is easily the biggest hurdle but, it is also, in my opinion, the most interesting feature. It is consistently interesting because I am constantly learning new characters etc.. On the one hand, French makes a lot of sense...

    Wow! Why did you choose to learn those languages? What was the first foreign language you started? Is English your first language? I've been learning Japanese for about 3 and a half years. I first got inspired to learn it after I visited Japan and made some friends. Japan was the first foreign...

    Hey there. Just thought I'd drop you a message to say hello. I see you have an interest in languages. I'm currently learning Japanese, Standard Chinese and French myself. How long have you had an interest in languages? Which ones are you currently teaching? :)

    What game did you buy last?

    Assassins Creed III. I got it cheap from EB. I haven't gotten very far in it though as I'm finding it pretty difficult to get into it. At this stage I'm not very interested in it, but I'll give it a proper chance.

    The Great Gatsby

    I just saw it and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had only read the book fairly recently and I felt that the film did it justice. I'll agree though that the truth about Gatsby was leaked a bit too early, but it didn't bother me too much. I particularly thought the ending was executed really well and...

    Last game you finished?

    I finally got around to playing Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, and you're right, it is much better than the original. I ended up using a walkthough as I just wanted to rush through the game. But I enjoyed it a lot. The story still isn't as brilliant as the later installments but it is much deeper...
