I for one am glad that Star Trek Universe won the Game of the Year award for 2009, it deserves it, by far.

I thought of it a few times, because they kind of have it better off. They have the opposite sex going crazy over them, they can do anything and still fit in (like play video games, watch movies, and even participate in some sports), they also get to wear a lot better clothing, and they actually have emotions (or is that just me, because I like never have emotions, I like never cry, not even when my cousin [whom I was close to] died).

Of course, there are some bad things: periods, child labor, sexism, can't eat anything that isn't "healthy", wasting most of your time shopping and buying things you probably don't need (without realizing that you don't need it or that you are wasting your time and money), getting emotional over stuff that doesn't matter, and perhaps even a rape attempt (or attempts).

I don't "wish" I was a girl, obviously. The thought just occurred to me and I thought, hmm...., this would be a great discussion to have.

Microsoft claimed they were going to let teenagers (the real people who play video games, use the Internet, and use Facebook; while some adults do use Facebook, the Internet, and perhaps even play video games, they are few and far between). They made that claim a long time ago (over a month ago), but they have yet to release ANY more updates regarding letting people use the features they claimed they were going to let us use, let alone release the feature(s).

The funny thing is, Microsoft claims they are not allowing teenagers from using Facebook, Twitter, and various other websites on their Xbox 360's, because "it would leave minors open to online predators" (official statement from Microsoft). [sarcasm]That totally makes sense, because everyone knows that Facebook is so much more safe when you use it on a computer, rather than an Xbox 360.[/sarcasm] You have to be 13 to use Xbox Live and you have to be 13 to use Facebook, so I (and everyone else) don't see what the problem is.

Of course, I just know someone is going to say "but what about people who lie about their age to use Xbox Live, this limitation on our freedoms stops those people", but then again, there is an obvious counter to that. How is that any different from a computer. Also, keep in mind that Microsoft makes computers too (unless you use a Macintosh, Solaris, Linux, or other system), and they don't put age requirements on those to use Facebook.

As it has been state various times by various sources in the past, "Microsoft only cares about money. You, the consumer, don't matter." While that statement is true, it should be noted that without us, they wouldn't make money, so they should atleast try to work with their customers (not only because it is morally right, but also because it helps them get more money; after all, people are more likely to buy products from a company that they have had a good experience with, and not so much for companies they have had a bad experience with).

Microsoft did not have to force people who aren't old to not use Facebook, but they intentionally chose to do so. They have intentionally disrespected us, mistreated us, and violated us. There is no law or rule or anything else that says that "you have to be 18 to use Facebook". In fact, it clearly states on Facebook that you only have to be 13. Microsoft did this on purpose, and then they lied to us claiming that "it's for your own good".

I'm not sure whether Bill Gates (and his minions) are believing their own propaganda or they are just **** This violation of human rights and civil liberties is appalling and most uncalled for. Therefore, I, on behalf of the entire human race, would like to most sincerely and respectfully protest this outrageous attempt to segregate and disrupt the innocent persons, whom have been wrongfully treated, under the acts and provisions of the Microsoft Corporation.

More like Final Fantasy now. I for one remember when:

1. Battlefield games were quality.

2. "Battlefield" meant "epic multiplayer warfare".

3. There were only 4 Battlefield games (Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142).

4. Battlefield Vietnam was considered a commercial failure.

5. Battlefield games were for the PC (and perhaps Macintosh and/or Linux) only.

6. They didn't come out with a new Battlefield game every 3 months.

7. Battlefield games didn't require a fee to play (the new "Battlefield 1943").

8. Battlefield games had expansion packs.

9. Battlefield games didn't rehash the same things over and over again (Battlefield 1943 maps are the same as Battlefield 1942 maps, despite taking place a year later; granted, the objectives may have changed, but the map is the same, just look at Wake Island).

10. Battlefield games were considered "time-tested ****cs".

I remember a game from the late 20th century, it's name is "Pinball Builder: A Construction Kit". My grandpa, Dennis, is the one who told me and first showed me the game. He also gave me a copy of the game. It's actually quite fun. You can view the GameSpot article on the game here: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/puzzle/pinballbuilderack/index.html

Hell yeah! One of my best friends participated in that event and showed up on camera. I was going to go, but I had other obligations. This happened on like November 25, 2009. My friend, druaga9, is at 5:00 in the video. This is quite similar to the famous Grand Central Station (New York City) freeze up that occurred quite a while back. This took place at the St. Louis Science Center, Forest Park, St. Louis, Missouri, United States of America.

I just felt like making this list, feel free to discuss it. I hope you find it interesting. Please note that discontinued currency, while no longer produced, are still legal tender in the United States of America and can be used to purchase goods and/or services. It should be noted that this list only contains American money (not to be confused with currency), and doesn't contain coins from other countries (including, but not limited to: United Kingdom, France, Germany, Jonathanland, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand). It should also be noted that this list isn't entirely in order (I was originally going to make it in order, but then half-way through making it, I realized that I would have to fill in the middle with the current currency (I was working on discontinued currency at the time), and that would be most disconcerting. I got the idea to do this (and decided I was going to do this) on Thanksgiving (2009), while at my grandma's house, with the whole family (excluding Jonathan McDonald, who unfortunately couldn't attend).
