[For those that wish to skip my latest bitching on Bioware, just skip to the second paragraph, where Bioware is not mentioned]

[I am back from my short vacation, but apparently a vacation wasn't enough to keep me away from the headlines, where I discovered Bioware is once again showing how disrespectful and downright rude they are. They have recently stated that FF13 "is not an RPG, but a corridor crawler" am I the only one that has noticed Japanese RPG makers don't ever insult Western game companies for their style? Sure, Bioware games can be nice. But when it comes down to Bioware as people, are they likable? They remind me of the drunks at bars picking fights with peaceful people. I am appalled at the arrogance of Bioware Staff. Americanism at it's best; pick on everyone else for being different. Fuck you Bioware. Fuck you. I will move onto something different]

[My vacation was nice. I've realized more and more that I am very fond of kids, and wouldn't mind having one someday. My best friend has two kids now. That bastard, he's making me conscious of the fact that I'm 'not so little anymore.' A lot of fun times were had. My friend had me take a picture of him with a lightbulb in his mouth, a typical request really, considering other pictures we've taken over the years. We talked about the old times, the new times, games, music, pretty much anything that came to mind. As time went on, His wife being herself, my friend being himself, my cousin being his usual persona, I realized how much I missed being around them all. I have laughed more in the last two days that I have laughed the last six months. It was a terrible waste to not have been there nearly an entire year. I've been away from those wonderful people far too long, and I'll do my best to be around more often. "Uncle Alex" will watch the kids grow older too. I can't wait for his eldest boy to get old enough for me to take him out for a cup of coffee :3 Until next time guys] -[AT9]
