    Now that you mention it, how come no one ever ask for Enix characters ?
    Turns out Xion was recruited by Leneth. XD

    For the gameplay, as for most of the games I play. The graphics, music and story are just the cherry on the cake. The nostalgia and SE references are what drew me to it at first, out of curiosity, but that' s not what kept me going.

    I have. Interview with the Vampire is a much better movie though, and the books are yet another level of awesome above.

    They rushed Queen of the Damned like crazy because they realized at the last minute that there was a clause in their contract with Anne Rice, stipulating that if the sequel wasn' t ready before (? don' t know which date) they' d have to give back all the royalties from the first movie to Anne Rice.

    Going by the article alone it' s hard to say what their motives actually were, it doesn' t source nor even name anyone or anything. I googled it and came up with this, apparently they merely did that study because they are part of a group called Angel Investors :

    Maybe they just fund the hopeless.

    Jasmine is the only one that didn' t bug me in any way, which is astonishing given how much of a tool her father seems to be. On second thought, maybe that' s why.

    Tiana seems alright too, she' s the one from the Princess and the Frog right ? I only watched bits of it.

    khv,

    My sisters and I left a bunch of those back at my parents' house, some in French, some in English. Even my father read them.

    I thought Riku did forget Xion, he was only temporarily reminded of her when he grabbed one of Roxas' keyblades.



    See for yourself, at 09:48.

    Shortly after that they all forgot her for good, but if memory serves in Re-Coded ...
    Mickey is notified of her previous existence by Data Namine (he still doesn' t remember her though).
    I' m not sure why it' s possible though because as I understand any mention of her existence should have been erased from the journal as well. Bit of a convenient miracle exemption if you ask me, but then Re-Coded' plot as a whole asks players to suspend their disbelief in exponential proportions.

    My thoughts this week : lead those two ******-bags to the exit and just make a show about Garth.

    Edit : Wait, what ? Douche is a censored word now ? It' s just French for shower (implied to be a cold one in that case) and a perfectly innocuous word. Or am I missing something ?

    Well, now you know. Time to start working on that. Or not, some people actually like clingy. You do have tummer and he does like you, doesn' t he ?

    That' s the part that finding a job is supposed to address. Alternatively I would have suggested helping others in general (a charity activity or something) to boost your confidence, but since you do need the money ...

    Unfortunately I can relate with loosing life-long friends abruptly and cruelly. It does suck big time. You' ll make new ones eventually, but you probably don' t give a flying **** right now. I' ve learned being comfortable on my own by now, but then I' ve always been a loner to some degree.

    Your bishop ? You mean a priest right ? Since when are priests experts in depression ? They do seem to be champions at seeding unneeded guilt though (I' m talking about religion in general, not about your case in particular), but then I' m an atheist.

    Well, keep repeating to yourself that it will never get better and it never will indeed. Which reminds me, ever heard of the Coué method ?
    http://ukhypnosis.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/emile-coues-method-of-“conscious-autosuggestion”/
    I never tried it myself, but if it' s good enough for sport champions, why not give it a try ?

    You aren' t ready to get out in the world ? Because of your depression or ... ? You make them sound so manipulative and protective that I' m starting to wonder if they raised you in their basement. XD

    May I ask why you hate yourself ? It' s OK if you don' t want to answer.

    Whatever it is trust me, I know how hard it can be to forgive ourselves, even when everyone else already has. What helped me was the realization that I am not my past. Sure, others will keep bringing it up, but ultimately I am my present and nothing else.

    Also, if your parents push you in inappropriate ways show no hesitation to square things up. I obviously don' t know anything about your family history and dynamic, but come on, sticking their nose into the sex life of their 20 years old daughter ? That' s none of their business at that point. You did feel better after snapping at them on the phone, didn' t you ? That' s the other reason I thought finding a job was a good idea, the sooner you get a wage the sooner you can find your own place and cut all those strings loose (your money, not theirs).

    Growing into an adult is tough, it seems to take an impressive toll on you. Two things that come to mind right now, regarding what your parents say :

    - We either swim or we drown. The only thing that can make us swim is bait, may it be work, family, friends, interests ... In that regard telling you to let Tummer go is extremely ill-advised. I have no idea how serious his condition is, but no bait in this world is eternal. We have to learn searching as much bait as we can, over and over, and bite them hard while they' re still here.

    - The guilt circle is typical in suicidal persons : you feel down or incompetent, which depresses you, on some level you realize you aren' t supposed to feel so down despite all the things that you do have, which adds to the guilt you feel and brings you back full circle to depression. So newsflash for your parents : trying to trigger more guilt on purpose ? Not the best idea ever.

    That being said, advising you to look for a job, now that is a good idea. You may meet super nice people and/or regain confidence. If it sucks or you end up being fired it wasn' t the right job for you, just search another one. If the people you meet aren' t that nice ... screw' em, you' re doing it for you, not for them.

    It may be best to regain a bit of confidence first though. I don' t want to drawn you under an endless stream of platitudes, but maybe ... have you ever watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer ? (Yeah, weird transition, I know ^^) If you haven' t then you may want to watch season 6, the whole arch of that season is to make all the characters go through what you' re feeling right know. It' s not profound by any stretch of the imagination, but it may help to watch something that you can relate to emotionally. You can pick up the series directly at season 6, you' ll understand most of what' s going on. If you don' t know how to find that stuff on your own I can try and find links and PM them to you.

    Competition is the driving force of science indeed, so in that regard I have no problem with religious claims being explored. Actually I highly encourage it. Besides, that article just explores a "what if" scenario, just for the fun of it, if Christians hold that God is omnipotent then having angels flying in the face of logic (lol) shouldn' t faze them much.

    I do however have a problem with religious "scientists" insinuating their unbacked claims are legit scientific theories. Say, completely out of the blue, asserting that creationism is as respectable as evolution from a logical standpoint.

    [​IMG]

    Creationism is not a scientific theory. It wishes it was, but it still goes to high-school. And it forgot its lunch box.

    That problem seems to be much, much much much more prominent in the United States than in my country, the thought of speaking of creationism in public school science classes wouldn' t cross our mind for a second here (as long as it isn' t an actual scientific theory of course).
