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?

A few years back, but they gave up their young adulthood to become parents. Mid-20s onwards isn't bad for having kids, but you've got to have some experience to pass onto your sprogs.

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.

Thankfully, I procrastinate, rather than procreate :P

It's one of those things you shouldn't really ask for.

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.

Yeah, the Blitzball is unavoidable, sadly. It's even worse when you want Wakka's celestial weapon. That requires GAMES and GAMES of Blitzball! It's so bad I feel like making a separate save file so whenever I play through FFX, I can easily skip Blitzball.

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.

I think all we need to point at for bad acting is an irate gamer. :P

I highly doubt Twilight has improved after throwing the awards away. Shame you didn't get far for that award.

Hello Wi/Ht?'ers, I have 12,000 EXP.

Hm, all this talking about children here... in a few months I become uncle for the 5th time! Yes, that's right.
However, the first two children where already born when I met my gf (yes, technically I'm not the uncle of my gf's niece and nephew, but we have been together for such a long time, plus we are getting married in march, so...). My gf has two sisters, both are older than her. Those two kids I mentioned in the previous sentence are the children of the eldest sister.
My brother became a father in 2008.
The second sister of my gf became a mother in 2010.
The gf of my brother is pregnant again. I don't know when the delivery date is, but I guess it's somewhere around march, april or may.

wow, "delivery date" sounds like "delivering a parcel"...

I'm pretty sure a lot of people from my parents generation had their first kid in their early 20's. Before that, families often consisted of more than four children, so they had to start early.

Oh yes, that annoys the hell out of me as well. You have this very powerful, intense, emotional scene and then some loud commercial goes: "THIS FILM IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY...!!!".

Well, I only listen to the radio when I'm driving, and talkshows / news are generally not the things I'd like to listen to there.

We used to have a channel called Arrow Classic Rock, which played some pretty sweet music. But they are now only available via the cable, so I'm stuck with shittier channels. One is alright though, it broadcasts 80s and 90s music mostly which is cool sometimes. Although sometimes they come up with shit like Snap...

But those are usually just 'part of the album' then, right?

With myself and reverend talking about it, it just seems like you've gone one better here :P Talk about German "efficiency" ;)

wow, "delivery date" sounds like "delivering a parcel"...

It's more like hiking a football... so the Americans tell me.

Yeah, back when life expectancy was about 35-40 years.

No, not that far back :p

I'm pretty sure a lot of people from my parents generation had their first kid in their early 20's. Before that, families often consisted of more than four children, so they had to start early.

It must just be my family then - My grandad became a father for the first time at 30, my father at 32. Thus in 2001, we had a great year of celebrations, with my grandad's 80th, dad's 50th and my 18th.

I think you should be fine with life experience as well, but more is always better of course.

The only thing is though that there are so many things you could still do when you're in your 20's. Things that you might never be able to do anymore once you have kids.

Exactly - you can still be a gamer when you've got kids, so long as you can be AFK for a short while for nappies, screaming infants and so forth.

Hmm, you better not take your gaming frustations out on your kids then. I know some people can get really worked up about losing a game. I can imagine things might start to get ugly when their kid starts whining as well.

I've got plenty of time to work that out of my system.

You should have claimed whiplash, maybe some minor back injury as well. :P

See the damage for yourself - I barely felt the seatbelts tug and there was no airbag deployment.

And now, for your dissection and enjoyment at someone else's misfortune, you may all call me Crash Bandicoop.

Next odd milestone passed if it is one ranked 789 in Exp. Not really that big a deal though >_<

I have to know.. Why do you say that in every single post you make here?
