From Wirebot: There are always those epic games which we can play over and over again such as Legend of Zelda and Starfox 5, however there is always that one character in most of these games which we think to ourselves: “Why put them in here? They are annoying!” Well I’ve come up with a list of 10 of those such types in this list of the most annoying game characters! More »

I’m currently playing Final Fantasy X and was in the mode to post Final Fantasy cosplay for Picture of the Day when I stumbled upon this adorable picture (looking at Yuna’s cosplayer, I assume it’s from FFX2). They both cosplay their characters, Tidus and Yuna, very well. They even share a real kiss! More »

There were many awesome games that were released this past decade and it was hard for me to choose which ones to put on this list. But I limited myself to games that came from Asia (more specifically Japan) and here is the list that I have come up with. Keep in mind that I have limited access to game consoles, excluding my Playstation 2. So most of the games on this list are from the PS2. More »

Happy Father’s Day! I didn’t get a chance to see my dad today but gave him a call. Anyone got any good Dad Day stories to share? Well Kotaku did a big feature on dads in RPG stories. It starts with Jecht from Final Fantasy X. It’s been awhile since I played that game, but I remember him being a mostly good if not hard dad ^^

When David wrote this entry up couple weeks ago, I decided that it’s a really good thing I am not a linguist. Really, I would make a horrible linguist because it took me eighteen years of my life to realise this uber-late revelation about myself and other people. Or at least most of the people I ran into fit this category. And no, I am not talking about drug addicts, although with the amount of meds I had to intake in the last year alone makes me feel like one.

Ahem. The point is that when I was at a karaoke / no rae bang when I was about eighteen, I was singing Final Fantasy X’s “Suteki Da Ne” in Japanese, and I noticed that I was able to sing at a higher pitch than most English songs. In fact, that was when I realised that I can sing higher in Korean and Japanese than in English. Even when I talk normally in Korean and Japanese, my voice pitch is higher. That’s when I started to pay attention to my other bilingual or multilingual speaking acquaintances and friends.

I noticed that a lot of people who speaks Japanese/English, Korean/English, and Tagalog/English all speak in a higher tone with the Asian language and in lower tones with English. Now with some people, there might be no differences or it could even be the opposite, but from my experiences, that’s what I came to the conclusion as. I am aware that this finding has to do with the differences in the language’s wavelength and all those other linguist terms I am not familiar with, but it still kind of fascinates me. Now, whenever I know someone is bilingual or multilingual, I listen and compare different pitches in the languages as my personal experiment!

Now here are two video examples . . . which some of you may have seen. I was trying to look for better videos, but in the end, this won over because they are so cracktastic, especially with the the second one. More »
