Hmmm, sounds like you're going through a bit of a rough period. Hey, if there is one thing I know, it's that you can deal with this stuff. And you do it a lot better than many other people who pride themselves with being "normal". And, of course, if there's anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask.

Anime seems to be a thing of extremes - people either adore it or can't stand it at all. Few things in life are so polarizing. Only anime I've ever watched was this movie about an orphan that grows up into a merciless assassin. His own family was killed, so he kills to, I don't know, feel better about being an orphan? It's a messed-up plot :P

Surprisingly, sprites were still used in some visual effects many years after Quake 1. And it makes sense, since they are cheap and get the job done when the effect is a simple one. I was recently reminded of an example from Quake 4 - used for a decoration thing that is viewed from a considerable distance, so it's hard to tell that you're seeing flat sprites... it did not elude me, though. I know sprites well enough to recognize them even in a modern 3D game.

The warm weather has one nasty disadvantage - it gives a boost to the flu virus. A few of my friends and relatives got it, so now I have to be extra careful. Too busy to afford getting sick for a whole week.
