Well it's not too young compared to teen mothers, but for me at the time it would definitely unthinkable.
Well I don't see myself having any babies either in the next few years. In fact, me and my gf have pretty much already agreed that we don't want any children.

My brother was 24 - it's not that much of a stretch. I know of two families that settled down and had their first child before 20. Those people are nuts, IMHO.
But I'm guessing that was already some time ago?
I don't know, maybe if we didn't go studying and just went looking for a job after school, then we might have been more interested in having children at this point. But since we're students, we simply can not afford having a baby.

Well as far as I know, it's not so strange to at least ask for a raise after you've worked there for a couple of years.
I dunno, I hate the thought of asking for a raise.
Well it can't hurt to ask.

I think it was four parts in total actually and the first part was pretty good. After that he started rushing through the game and indeed he very much tried to force his opinion on the viewers.
As far as the last part goes and just focusing on the main plot, the pacing was fair. The only way he could have made the review longer is by covering more sidequests but the American version of FFX lacks the dark aeons. Even if you don't like FFX as a whole, you have to give credit to the challenge it provides for the dark aeons. I'd bring up Nemesis but catching ten of every fiend CAN be tedious. That I can easily understand.
I think he generally did not want to focus that much on sidequests this time. Of course he dealt with Blitzball, but that was actually part of the main story as well.
I agree the last part is the best though. I liked how he didn't overdo it this time with the 'going apeshit and needing medication'-jokes. Honestly, I always find those the worst of his reviews. He had some fair points and some nice references.
The going apeshit moments had its better days with AVGN and Nostalgia Critic. These days I just can't see anyone doing anything that hasn't been done yet with losing sanity over games, movies or whatever. It's the same reason why I no longer come across any new good reviewers. The whole angry reviewing has died down with the exception of some individuals.
Agreed on that. I know they're trying to make a point about how bad the game is, but the joke is simply getting old by now. And the fact that the majority of those reviewers aren't that good at acting doesn't help either.

Yeah, but it's my dad's car and I don't know where he keeps the manual. Probably in the car, but heh... over here we're always like: 'Try to figure it out yourself first, then use the manual'.
"Real man don't need instructions!"
Damn right!
Actually, I have often saved myself shitloads of time by simply not reading the instructions and just do whatever's logical. I never read tutorials in games either :p On Newgrounds I do occasionally find that I should've though.
Ah yes, I suppose that's why I occasionally come across 'radio versions' of some songs. It makes sense that radio stations do their best to keep it the same level, and I doubt compressing stuff twice over does any good to the song.
I think "radio edits" are more like because radio stations don't like songs to be too long, more like only three minutes. Any song longer than that isn't very compatible for radio stations (some stations here cut out instrumentals in songs. For example they cut out the solo in "Nothing else matters" or the rest of "Turn the page", letting the song end on the "What she said" part...
I know what you mean. I hate that so fucking much, when they cut out the ending solo. Or just start blabbering through it. I know that in Smells Like Teen Spirit for example, they often even cut out the second couplet and just go straight into the shortened guitar solo.
That's probably the biggest problem I have with radio stations these days, apart from the overload of commercials and news updates.
At least you have something of a B-sides though. Occasionally artists added some nice tracks to that side.
Yes, but on a CD they can add it as well. :P
But those are usually just 'part of the album' then, right?
