  1. Actual usefulness of fluency in Mandarin?

    I've been told by a countless number of people that the fact that I am fluent in Mandarin Chinese means I will be very marketable when I'm looking for a job. However, I have always questioned the truthfulness of this claim because every time I attend a job fair hosted by my university, none of...
  2. Games that don't cause motion sickness?

    Video games and I have a love-hate relationship. I love playing them (or watching my friends play them), but often at the expense of my bowel's comfort. I get motion sickness from the vast majority of games out there- basically any game where the camera view moves around and jumping around is...
  3. Favorite place to get ice cream?

    Or gelato or frozen yogurt or the like. Anyway, most of my friends are crazy about Ben and Jerry's and Cold Stone Creamery, but I personally rather despise both. I don't really know how to describe B&J other than it tastes really "dry" and hard to me, and then I don't like Cold Stone because...
  4. Happy 12th Anniversary Pokemon!

    So... I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, but yesterday (Feb 27th) was actually the 12th anniversary of the Pokemon franchise (i.e., the day Red and Blue/Green were released in Japan). Seems like the 10th anniversary was just yesterday...
  5. Gaming magazine targeted at girls

    Ok, so I'll readily admit that there are definitely more guys than girls playing video games out there... but is a magazine like this piece of bull really necessary? Seriously. I didn't know if I wanted to laugh hysterically or cry upon seeing the magazine cover. I feel pretty offended...
  6. Video Game Motion Sickness?

    As much as I can say I love video games, I have to admit I really have not played that many series at all... and I owe it to how I get really sick when I play the majority of your mainstream games. It seems that whenever I play games where the camera view shifts (no matter how small the...
  7. Sugar "addiction"

    To sum it up briefly: I frequently find myself feeling absolutely miserable/cranky and feeling rather anxious(?) if I don't consume something (or a few things) sugary (candy, cookies, cake, etc.) everyday. It's not really a problem because I don't gain weight from it all, but at the same time...
  8. Firefox Photobucket Issues

    I use Firefox as my default internet browser, and a few days ago, it just up and decided not to display any of my photobucket album pictures (or any pictures hosted by photobucket, period). I noticed this while I was looking at my art thread in Smeargle's Studio... at first I thought it was...
  9. How to help someone deal with a death

    My boyfriend's grandfather (who he was very close to) had been very ill for a while and he just died very late last night. To put it simply, I don't really know what to do or say to my boyfriend to console him. I feel naive because I've never had to deal with a death of anyone close before...
