Random Updates

I finally beat Final Fantasy XII, after playing for an ungodly amount of time. I got all these really good weapons, did a bunch of side quests, and thoroughly trounced the final boss to save all of Ivalice from utter destruction. Yes, I am cool.

I started playing this game called Bully, which is Rockstar's now-not-so-recent release after their Grand Theft Auto series with the new spin that instead of a gun wielding gangster causing mayhem, you are instead a new student at the boarding school Bullworth Academy, trying to earn respect and navigating your way through cliques. Being the nerd that I am, I first went to pass all the classes before exploring the random errands/missions/tasks that are available. The game apparently got some criticism for trivializing the reality of bullying, but with gained abilities from passing classes, it certainly promotes the benefits of learning in class!

Finally, since I found these images on Google Images, I also noticed Google launched an Image Labeler game where you and some other random person try to tag the same image until you agree on a label while trying to do this to as many images in a fixed amount of time. This is certainly not the first of its kind (I believe the exact thing came out of academia a couple years ago), but it was pretty addictive. There are some deadbeat partners out there that can make it annoying, but all in all pretty fun way to enlist the masses to do some gruntwork in tagging images:

My top score for the day is 1100, which was only good enough for 6th and not featured on the Top 5... we even had two broken images!!! So cheated!!!!!
