It's almost too much to bear

No franchise is better suited for adapting into a theme park than Harry Potter . Star Wars Land at Disney has been a bit of a flop, and it's not hard to see why: Star Wars is not about buying things. When you're on a planet fighting wookies or whatever, you're not thinking about buying a t-shirt to commemorate the experience. That's where Harry Potter differs. Huge plot points of the books and the movies involve Harry going to shops to buy tools and food that are specific to the wizarding world…

Negotiating a salary can be scary at first. When you've never done it before, it can feel like you're overstepping a boundary of professionalism before you've even begun your new job. “Hello, person I don't know very well. Can I please have $10,000 more dollars than you want to give me?" In most positions, negotiation is a normal part of the process. Nobody will rescind your offer because you have the gall to ask for a couple thousand more dollars. Well, almost nobody. Before getting a job offe…

Are you or someone you know always getting rejected despite being “nice” to women? Do you think girls only want to date mean and bad boys? Does this perception fill you with rage? Hopefully, this doesn’t apply to you because the last thing you’d want to be is a Nice Guy . Let’s take a minute to discuss and observe these confusing sorts of creatures. So what exactly is a nice guy? I guess the most basic definition would be, guys who believe themselves to be polite and courteous towards women, bu…

Have you ever wanted to stick it to the man, but you’re too much of a coward to do anything that may have repercussions? Of course, you have! Same here. I’m about as cowardice and counterculture as you could imagine. Sometimes it’s fun to break the rules. Don’t remove the tag from the mattress? Don’t mind if I do. No running near the swimming pool? There’s a reason that rule is in place, so at most, I’m probably going to fast walk, but that’s still kind of close to running. There’s a certain fe…

One meme to rule them all

In what I thought was one of the top ten most profitable franchises of all time, but turns out to be THE most profitable franchise of all time, it’s more than safe to say that we all have been exposed to Pokemon in one way or another. And that’s great! I imagine there’s a lot my current self and my 8-year-old self would disagree on, but I can say we’d get along concerning Pokemon. It’s fun, it’s addictive, and, once you separate yourself from the idea that the core concept of Pokemon is making…

No happiness allowed

I remember the first time I ever played an Elder Scrolls game. My friend in grade school lent me his copy of Oblivion for Xbox. Just a few months before the release of Skyrim, I was curious about the hype, but not sold on the concept. I’m happy to say that I had a vicious stomach bug that night. So for the next days, when I stayed home from school, I got to experience the world of Cyrodiil completely uninterrupted. There’s a reason The Elder Scrolls franchise is so massively popular. I’m not go…

We all float here

On a wonderful day like today!
