  1. It’s not cool to say it but I think my favorite Floyd is the Wall. Pound for pound Dark Side is better but I’ve also got a special nostalgia for the wall. I got the album (after wanting it for a while) the same X-Mas as Suikoden II. Suikoden II is my favorite game. They got used a lot together so there is a lot of linked nostalgia there.
  2. 8. Man did this thing have some fantastic RPGs.
  3. Can’t answer song or album really but all time favorite band has to be Metallica. Favorite album by them would be Ride the Lightning. But I don’t think I can say it’s my favorite album of all time.
  4. Ahh yeah. I didn’t think about the meaningless-to-us scribbles element of learning Asian languages. When I said writing I didn’t necessarily mean actually writing by hand. Prose or poetry you take your pick. I think it is especially important to practice creating the written word. The act of writing helps you to retain the information as well as giving you a chance to take your time and focus on proper grammar. I obviously don’t know if the characters or anglicization is preferable but I’m a strong proponent of attempting the active skills ASAP. Also, umm pssst. Dutch and German aren’t the same language so I wouldn’t trust too much what you’re taking away from those movies. Unless it’s in Achterhooks. Then it just is my German after a Night out.
  5. I’d either start at 1 or start with 8. 1 is pretty simplistic but I think it’s excellent for what it is. Great atmosphere to it too. It is one of my top 5 games. 8 is just awesome. Very well done and the art style was really cool.
  6. Not Japanese speaker here but Windows media player and I’m sure others let you play video at various speeds. I always found that helpful. Also I always most preferred learning language audio with captions also in the foreign language. I think it helps you catch what exactly is being said (unless, as happens, the captions are using different paraphrased lines from what’s being spoken). Don’t bother with captions in your native language. Also, make sure you are practicing creating language. It’s all well and good, especially as a beginner, to just want to shore up those passive listening and reading skills but I cannot overstate the importance of the active writing/speaking skills. It’s much harder yes but you’ll be glad you did it from the start. also, don’t gloss over any tedious and difficult grammatical stuff like learners tend to do. Learn your word genders or whatever Japanese has. You’ll thank yourself later.
  7. Oh no. not me. I don’t own that crap . 80% of my crypto is Ethereum like a proper boring idiot. On a somewhat related note. I’d like to make my stance known that 69 is an easy way to make your bj crappier.
