Agreed.
Yeah, man. I'm hoping to spend 3 months in Japan, then 3 months in Italy, most likely taking language courses and living with host families! Apart from that, I'll be spending my time earning some more cash, and improving on my hobbies, and perhaps get into something new (I've been interested in capoeira recently). I guess uni just isn't for me right now, I mean, I don't think I'm ready.
Yeah? What degree is that?

I gap yahed but instead of travelling I worked on my dad's farm. I know right! What a life. But I did earn enought to become independent and be able to get Youth Allowance. Worth it.
I have never been keen on an Assassin's Creed game before, I don't know why medieval Middle East/Italy is normally right up my alley, but I am psyched for 3. That said. I'm still balls deep in Xcom, haven't finished Borderlands and have Halo coming out soon. AC3 loses for now. I'll need something in the dark days of next March

Damn, why the change of mind?
Once I go to uni, I think I'll just jump into an Arts degree, major in Linguistics, don't know about the minors.
It probably won't and you will be happier for it. Degrees open doors.
Tell then you take freebies for extra high review scores.
Just ask them the AusGAF questions.
unless it's iwata, miyamoto or sakurai, chill the fuck out
When do the freebies start arriving?
Not this guys.
No one Japanese, but one of the big names in the western development world. I think you've probably already met him anyway.

Think of something different to ask him/her. Most journos ask people the same questions over and over again and it must bore them to tears. (I say this as a journo who knows I'm no cleverer than most others). If you can think of something new it'll blow his/her mind

nice nice
I did the same thing, but only with Japan. You thinking of continuing Japanese on into uni? (DO IT!!!) Glad your taking a gap year, uni feels like a big commitment >< but at the same time I don't wanna leave because then I have to go into the real world and make something of myself.also nice to meet you
I had my gap year after completing 5 years at uni and then working flat out for a year. Spent a year travelling when I was 24. Felt damn good man. I actually think it'd be easier to transition straight to uni after year 12 as they prepare you for all that stuff, and first year uni is really damn easy, feels like year 13 easy. Different strokes.
Yeah man we were scheduled to do one for Charles Martinet and I went and watched and listened to interviews he has done and it's all the same stuff. I came up with like 10 really uniquie and deep questions.
Then... yeah missed out due to... the help.
Currently chillaxing.

Keep a look out with the Japanese teachers at your uni too. If there's a club or something join it. There are a couple of teachers who keep coming up to me with ALT offers because they think I'm graduating soon. There was this peeeerfect sounding one in Saitama too ;.;
You'll get into jet eeeeasy I reckon Jint, don't worry
Yeah, I think one semester was enough for me. That 4 month summer break is seriously needed though, for both monetary reasons and recharging. I don't think I could do uni if the break was much shorter ><
And PERTH.
I've got like $1000+ spent now on Flights, Cons and more Cons for next year already.

You don't happen to work for MCV do you?
Was the one game this year that the wife is interested in.
Picture them naked.
If it is a phone interview, get naked.
If it is a video interview, leave a shirt on.
If it is a meeting interview, wear a hat too. People like hats.
Also ask them how social media has influenced their game design.

Ah, that sounds great! How long did you stay there for, and what did you get up to? I'm definitely going to continue studying Japanese, 6 years in, and it remains a strong passion. And yeah, taking a gap year just feels right. I don't think I could handle university just yet!
Nice to meet you, too, Shan!

Hahaha! Also, wow, didn't even realise I tweeted almost the same thing.
Don't mind me, just going to delete one of those as of immediately!
Ah, shame!

2011 was my year. 2012 is okay but October in particular has ruined its metacritic rating.
Awesome, more people to practice my rudimentary japanese with

Dude called out a bunch of game media people for acting like PR for a game so they could win a free PS3.
One of the media people threatened to sue the dude/publication.
Internet.
Other games media largely say, meh, to her using the legal system to stop people criticising her.
Slow buildup of reasons why it is shit.
Most of games media cowtow.

Also I will livejournal if I want to. This place is my livejournal.

We don't even sell the normal one anymore. Who the hell wants caffeinated Mountain Dew? yuck.
I did a semester over there at a high school in Tokyo, then came back and started uni in semester two. Did homestay and stuff. Was fun times ! Maybe you could take Japanese as your minor, unless you wanna leave room for other stuff I guess

So, it was like a student exchange? That sounds really great, I'm so eager to get over there! I've never been before!
Heh, yes, I was thinking about that. It is probably the best way to continue learning! Out of curiosity, how long have you been studying Japanese (assuming you have)?

Lately I've been having trouble drinking soft drink. Its just way too bubbly
yeah! If you're into the whole school deal you should apply! You get to wear the school uniform and eat bento and have bunkasai and stuff~ Well, I got really into it at least. haha. But then it is more school
I've been studying... 5 years now, I think? 2 in high school, then Japan, then 2 and a half at uni. Uni is certainly good in that it gives me incentive to study. I get really lazy otherwise. Midonnay and Deek are much better than I am though ><

Stick to water.
I keep collapsing and getting a coke or a sunkist or... fucks up my stomach something bad. I think I'm going to restrict myself:
1) Coke in glass bottles
2) Coke in metal cans that I've put in my goddamn fridge for like 5 days and is nearly but not quite frozen
3) Mixed alcohol drinks
Everything else is water.

It's no good, man... I hear JET no longer exists. We still have this, though.
Yeah, we're like Anonymous. Except... not that anonymous.
Fix'd.
Ow, my balls!
