I feel like this only applies to the part of the young population that have already figured it out when they started high school, usually ones following their parents', or athletes (since for whatever reason sports are such an integral factor to education in the United States.)

Also, I will say: high school gives quite a few opportunities to try out different things like classes and clubs (well, before budget cuts)

Not 100% sure still. Up until sometime a year or so ago, I had no clue what to do with my life, thinking of such low-demand positions as video editor or graphic designer, though the latter was far further away since I don't know much about coding.

After really trying to focus on what I enjoy the most, I landed on something to do with writing about video games. I seriously love dissecting interactive entertainment, discussing points of design and mechanics and presentation and voice acting and everything about games.

That's when I started contemplating video game journalism. I thought of how awesome it would be, to actually get to go to game developers' offices and interview them, getting the stories behind what it took to make their games and the effect that the development had on their lives. Part of this came from having watched "Indie Game: The Movie." It was fascinating seeing how these small groups of passionate people banded together to create media they felt pride from.

So for now, I'm still hoping to become a video game journalist, which with success will probably see me moving to Santa Monica, Calif. where I'll actually be in close proximity with notable names in the industry.

However, beginning this semester, I realized how stressful it can be trying to report these stories on deadline. It makes me uncomfortable still, rushing to fulfill a role as an informer while still staying true to the sources and utilizing the correct writing styles under Associated Press.

It's gotten to the point where, currently, if I fall off the track to earn my Bachelor's in journalism and don't end up as a video game journalist, I've seriously contemplated being a YouTube and/or Twitch videographer as a backup plan. I feel that doing this would not only be a better use of my time and mental energy than any retail job, but that it'd force me to become more vocally talkative about what I love. I forced myself into theater and choir in high school to overcome my shyness, and I feel this could benefit me. It's already tough currently me for to approach people for interviews.

Actually...yeah ._. I don't remember the question now

I WANT TO GET THE GAME ON PS4 BUT MONEY

No, I do not accept these grievances toward that which is transforming half-naked swordswomen fighting and yelling each other's name.

So uh...Poltergeist is getting a remake...for some reason

I mean, it looks to be better than the original at least (honestly wasn't a fan. It came off as silly as the film went on.)

One thing I really love about watching people play games on YouTube is not simply seeing personalities, but also when the players have extensive knowledge about the game and/or understand good design and programming. For instance, lately my favorite channel, TheSw1tcher (better known as the Best Friends Zaibatsu,) have been doing LP's of Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut and No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise. Matt was a tester for the Wii version of No More Heroes, giving him a lot more info about the game than most people, and Pat is a huge Silent Hill fan (as am I,) so seeing him explain themes and lore of Silent Hill 2 to Matt (who's never played through the game) is just great to see, as introducing people to my favorite games and seeing them really enjoy them is such an awesome feeling. Also, since they almost always have two or more people in each video, there's the natural dynamic of multiple personalities and perspectives. To me, not many solo YouTube LP'ers are interesting enough, but on Twitch, they can interact with the audience live, which makes it a lot more interesting.

This is something that I also love about the group. They're so much more genuine and yet entertaining and informative than most other YouTube channels.

Also, Let's Plays are a thing I've contemplated doing, though I'd want to do it with someone else on the video too. I've tried doing a few solo ones (like Skinwalker,) but as you guys mentioned, it can be tough to find stuff to talk about since I don't really say much while I'm playing a game alone.

I do remember the fictional universe question being asked on the previous podcast too...I'm thinking I'd pick

Since I've tried seriously cutting down on my soda intake, my go-to beverages are often iced tea or vitamin water, and when I can, fruit smoothies. If I do drink soda, it's Dr. Pepper. And since I'm 22, I gotta say that I'm not really a fan of alcoholic beverages unless they're sweet, and I barely drink in the first place (though I'm no lightweight.) Thus, I hate beer, but I quite like Smirnoff Peach Bellini and other fruity drinks, and Fireball isn't that bad to me.

2015's top games for me: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Witcher III: Wild Hunt, Bloodborne, Batman: Arkham Knight, No Man's Sky, Persona 5, Soma, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD and probably more that can't think of.

(speaking of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, I managed to get it on sale for like $6)

(Batman: Arkham Origins felt very dull to me. For whatever reason, a lot of people defend it for having a strong story...I don't at all agree with that though. The game does nothing new or exciting that the Rocksteady-developed Arkham games have, and the overall design of levels and characters is just not that strong. I dropped the game after the Deathstroke fight)

I STILL NEED TO PLAY "LEFT BEHIND" UGH

And yeah, the English dub of Kill la Kill is just...not good. Mikisugi, Mako, Takarada, and Jakazure are all good, but THE THREE BIGGEST CHARACTERS (Ryuuko, Satsuki, Senketsu) DO NOT FIT: Ryuuko and Satsuki just sound so try-hard, and Senketsu doesn't fit the role he's supposed to play in the story. And it's pronouned "Ree-you-koh" and "Saht-ski" and "Sen-ket-sue," at least in my head. It's weird hearing the English version say "Sen-kets."

This is my school's encrypted wifi with my laptop, so obviously a lot of people are using it at once.



Just got home, using wifi with laptop



Dunno why it's been so low lately. Usually I can get like 20Mbps on wifi, around 35Mbps on ethernet.

Changed the radio channel for the modem, reset router, looking better.



AND FOUND OUT THAT MY BROTHER WAS DOWNLOADING BATTLEFIELD 3

After pausing that...



One last update: today I tried out the unencrypted wifi at ASU



Gimme

WELL I gotta get to actually playing 3 and 4 now because no way I'm missing out on this.

When did those come out? 3.0 was in theaters in 2012, and 3.33 (home release) came out in Japan in 2013.

Got my Blu-ray of Evangelion 1.11 today. 2.22 should be here tomorrow.

Still waiting on 3.33, Funimation...

BTW Book Two of Korra is the worst (except for the amazing "Beginnings" episodes.) Three is really good and Four is my favorite.

Pssst...

>is a full-time university student with no job

Well I'll see myself out :\

Speaking of school, I'm dreading having three to four more semesters to finish before I can get my degree...I just want to get to working already and starting to sustain myself. I've been a full-time college student for more than three years now. I feel so behind other people.

I've always respected Monty Oum and his animation. I hope he makes it out of this situation in a good way.
