@oraknabo: There was next to no information about what the mechanics of the game would have been. It's hard to say. Clearly it wasn't living up to their own standards, though.
These days, my favorite Let's Plays are the ones on Phil Kollar's Twitch channel StreamFriends because of the great conversations about games as a medium between Phil, Janine Hawkins, and Austin Walker.
The first time, when it was a girl I had a gigantic crush on, my response was to be really depressed for about two days. What broke me out of the depression was hanging out with a bunch of friends and watching Hot Fuzz, which reminded me I could feel happiness even after rejection.
I've only been rejected a couple of times after that, and honestly I just felt relief that I wouldn't have to figure out how to actually go on a date.
No. I was not raised in a religious household. I went to a Christmas service once when I was 21 or so, and was pretty weirded out by it. It was like being in a big room where everyone claims to have the same imaginary friend.
I consider myself agnostic. I don't believe that anyone can prove there is a higher power, and I've seen nothing that compels me to follow one faith over another. I suppose that makes me effectively atheist. I certainly don't believe that there is an all powerful being performing miracles on a daily basis, or revealing itself to humans through prophecy.
I celebrate Christmas and Easter, but in a non-religious way, like Thanksgiving or the Fourth of July. I just like holidays for the sake of celebration and tradition (so long as those traditions don't hurt anyone). It's nice to give and receive gifts, and it's nice to see family and friends.

Only with wider representation from other parties can we even begin to try and change the flawed voting system.
But doesn't the flawed voting system prevent wider representation?
Yep. Which is why we are where we are now. As @viking_funeral pointed out, a first past the post system will always lead to two major parties. But despite its glaring flaws, its persistence is largely due to the "Spoiler Effect", where people are discouraged to vote for the candidate that most represents their own values, because they're more afraid of the party with the opposite values winning. So they vote against other parties, rather than voting for who they actually want.
True enough. The only time I actually voted for a Green Party candidate was when there wasn't a Republican to vote against, meaning I didn't feel a compulsion to vote Dem. I think I'm registered Independent or Green. I don't actually recall.
I pronounce Chocobo Ch-CO-bo. I pronounce Ifrit just like it's spelled instead of like Ifreet. I didn't pronounce Quezacotl right, but anyone who says they did is lying (they didn't even spell it right). Ryu I pronounce Ree-yu. I'm still not consistent with how I say Hwoarang. I don't even know where to begin with Dynasty Warriors.
Outside of video games I'm even worse about it. Wheel of Time has a pronunciation guide, but if someone corrects the way I pronounce Moiraine, I will fight them.
I wanted to be a paleontologist as a kid. There was a pterosaur called Quetzalcoatlus, so I learned how to pronounce Quetzalcoatl at a rather young age. To be fair, the truncated Quezacotl in Final Fantasy is missing some key letters that would help you pronounce it correctly.
I definitely pronounced Ryu "Rye- you" for a long time. Gaiden was "Gay-den."
So good, but what exactly triggers it? I didn't see an answer in the video. I'm guessing its just being in a boat at that location or something, but that makes me wonder what took so long in finding it.
It looked like it said ten people have to be around that buoy.
When I get really frustrated, I either lapse into some sort of weird southern accent or possibly just cataplexy that makes my tongue unresponsive. In either case, I get an awkward drawl.
