Yes.
SKT. (I would actually be getting faster speeds, but unlimited data plans are a little weird here. After you use 12gb a month, your speed is throttled. In other words, you'll get unlimited data, but not the max speed. I've used up my 12gb this month). G3 Beat (I'd much rather use the Moto X I was using back in the US, it felt perfect in my hand... it doesn't work here though. ). Ahh man that sucks! That's how Cricket is basically, we got uped to 5GB per month, but when you go past 5GB they will throttle it. I barely use my phone, and it's used 3.5GB already, even though nothing is really being used on it... Androids suck imo.. I'm guessing you use an iPhone? I couldn't stand not being able to root my phone and have complete control over it.

I don't get why watching someone play a game is entertainment, really. I think for the exact same reasons people consider sports entertainment, especially if you're watching someone who's incredibly good at the game (and it doesn't even have to be a multiplayer game. Speed runs are incredibly popular these days, watching people beat a game as fast as they possibly can is usually pretty fun). As someone who paid $50 (and was willing to pay $100+ish, but those tickets sold out in seconds) to watch some people play a video game in front of 44,000 people a few months ago, it's fantastic.
If the game isn't competitive in any way, I still think it can be fairly enjoyable if the commentary is good enough. There's a game called "Desert Bus", which is exactly what it sounds like. You're in a desert, you drive a bus... there are no turns. You go straight. It takes hours to beat. Every year, a group of people play through it and raise money for charity. Obviously, the game isn't worth watching. It's terrible. It doesn't matter who you watch play it, it's always going to be terrible. The group who plays it is really funny though, and it's worth turning into for at least a little while. Then there's the whole community aspect. It's always nice to just tune into a stream, hangout, and discuss things with people who like the same things you do. More than anything though, it just comes down to the individual. Some people are going to like watching people play games, others aren't going to get it (which is understandable). I think the same can be seen in sports. There's people who can name statisitcs and players off the top of their heads, and there's other's who are more of the "Did you see that ludicrous display?" type. That being said, I think there's plenty of people who just aren't worth watching. They're not good at commentating, and they're not good at playing the game. It's like watching kids play sports. It might be worth watching if you're a parent, but for most people there's probably better things to be doing with your time. Here's an alright article that summarizes it better than I can: www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2014/08/why_would_anyone_watch_twitch_the_allure_of_the_video_game_streaming_site.html

Nice! That's on LTE? What network you use? and what phone you have? Yes.

I literally just finished downloading it. I hadn't heard of it before yesterday, but it looks fantastic. I've been really, really into point-and-click adventure games over the past year or two (especially Telltale's stuff - The Walking Dead Season 1 was my GOTY in 2012, and Season 2 was one of my favorite game of last year. The Wolf Among Us was also really, really good), so this is right up my alley. I just finished it. Sad to say it's a bit short but really cool features. Hopefully the other parts do t take along time to release. It's an episodic point and click adventure game, I'm expecting each episode to be maybe an hour and a half to two hours long, that seems to be about the average.

I majored in Game Art and Animation and graduated in 2012. I quickly realized how unappealing the field is (crunch time sounds ridiculous. I've read about a few AAA games that have had 12-16 hour work days for 2-3 months, weekends included. I'm sure that's illegal, and you can complain about it all you want, but the field is small and you risk alienating yourself. There's enough people wanting in that you're more than replaceable. On top of that, once a game is finished you're probably going to get laid off, unless it makes enough to warrant a sequel) unless you're willing to go into indie games and risk not making much money. I wouldn't mind working on the community side of things, but the development side just sounds like hell and most people going into the field only last a few years.
I still wanted to do something art related, so I found a part time Graphic Design job and did substitute teaching on the side. Didn't mind the Graphic Design job, but there wasn't too much room for advancement at the place I was working at. I discovered I really enjoyed teaching (My great grandpa was a teacher and my mom is a teacher, so I guess it's in the blood). Ended up leaving both jobs, packed up, and moved to South Korea to teach.
Whenever I decide to move back to the US, I want to go back and get my master's in either Art Education or Elementary Education. I think I would enjoy Art a lot more, but more and more schools are also cutting art from their curriculum, so I'm not sure how job security would be. I've heard I could still teach art with an Elementary Education degree and it would be more rounded, which means more job opportunities. We'll see. I'm in Korea for at least another year, so I'll worry about that bridge when I cross it.

I can't begin to tell you how much the design annoys me though, for the simple reason being that Majora's Mask is going to be upside down when it's actually being played. Oh well. Just like with the previous one's I've had (original 3DS, XL), I don't plan on ever turning on the 3D though. Just not my thing.

Tacos. I would have to go to Seoul to get any decent ones though, and I don't think I'm going to take an hour long bus ride just for tacos anytime soon.

Definitely, I've actually considered looking into one whenever I decide to move back to the US. I think they're more than big enough for 1 person.
When/If I ever start a family, I would like something bigger though.

Got my card from the PBS Staff yesterday (nice timing by the way, because I just moved to a new city today, so...).
