Note that the quote uses "correlated" instead of "caused by" or similar. Weasely.

Since I'm just using my phone, I'm can't comment on everything you wrote, but wanted to make sure and say that I am also a philosophy fan (but sorta dumb) and would like to read blogs about that too.

Sorry about your insomnia too.... It can be really rough. Seems like most of us have this in common here!

I started II on the Dawn of Souls cart but wasn't in the mood at the time. It will take some self-motivation to complete. I did pick up the DS remake of III and plan to play that version someday "soon".

The original game definitely has its issues that would annoy first-timers. 

But it's true.  I've been living as a dudebro for years all because of teh games.

Love your first entry and the nostalgia parts make it even better.  Even though I haven't played all of the Final Fantasy games, I have also played this one countless times between the NES and the GBA.  I rarely replay games any more, but every couple of years, I feel a need to play the original FF again.  Much of it is those childhood memories, but when I dive in, it's still a good time on its own merits.  

I'm hoping your entry about FF II (when we get there) will inspire me to finally attack that one.  

Sorry to hear you're having some rough times.  This too shall pass... and when it does, we get to read cool stuff that you're going to write!

I've read all of the books except the Forerunner saga.  I am in complete agreement that they are all generally pretty good except for The Flood.  I started reading them because I thought they'd be kind of terrible, and now I've almost read them all.  I really hope that next gen's ODST-style offshoot game is based on the Karen Traviss novels because that would be a nice change.

I'll be sure to read this series soon.  Michael117 also speaks highly of them.

I'm always curious about how McDonald's chose the shapes for its reconstituted meats.  Why do the nuggets have a circle and a boot? Why is fish square? I just wonder if they did testing and got reactions like, "Octagon fish? GROSS! Needs less vertices."

I always think of this moment when I think of Foghorn Leghorn. 

I haven't seen this ad since.  Maybe they weren't lying about the 1 hour time limit!
