90s Flashback [“Answer Me 1997”]

Oct 26. 2012

I have a new obsession. (And if you're friends with me on Facebook, you probably already know what I'm talking about.) It is a Korean drama called 응답하라 1997, or Answer Me 1997. As the title suggests, the show revolves around a group of friends who graduated high school in 1997. The story unfolds through a series of flashbacks as they attend their 15-year reunion — and with the majority of the 16-part series taking place during the last decade of the 20th century, you can't help but be taken back by the numerous 90s references. If you are a Korean in your early 30s, you are sure to love this drama as much as I do. You would also fall hard if you're familiar...

Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Set [I Want!]

Sep 01. 2012

Can you believe the Final Fantasy franchise is now 25 years old?!?

In celebration of this iconic anniversary, Square Enix will be releasing the “Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ultimate Box,” which includes all 13 of the core Final Fantasy games in one marvelous collection.

Here’s the full list of games (notice that Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy X-2, and Final Fantasy XIII-2 were kept out 😛 ).

  • Final Fantasy (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy II (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy III (PSP, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy IV (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy V (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy VI (PS1, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy VII International (PS1, 4 discs)
  • Final Fantasy VIII (PS1, 4 discs)
  • Final Fantasy IX (PS1, 4 discs)
  • Final Fantasy X (PS2, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy XI Vana’diel Collection 2 (PS2, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy XII (PS2, 1 disc)
  • Final Fantasy XIII (PS3, 1 disc)

Unfortunately, Square Enix has not ported all the games into one system. 🙁 This means that you would need a PS3, PS2 (which also plays PS1 games), and a PSP to play all 13 games.

The Human Mind Can Be a Disgusting Place

Aug 22. 2012

One of the most memorable novels I have ever read is American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis. (And in case you weren't aware, yes the movie is based on the book.) While the book is meant as a satire of 1980s American materialism, greed, and superficiality, the reader cannot help but be horrified — and transfixed! — by the narrator's description of his murders and the thought process that goes behind them. It's actually a great read for those who do not easily get queasy, or can appreciate genius in its various forms. When I read the book for the very first time back in my early twenties, I remember thinking that the author must have one sick mind to even IMAGINE these...
