Great news, LordSynos. Both about seeing your son, but also the game - hopefully everything works out to your satisfaction.
That does remind me, in my PF game it was fun since a player* is a cattle-buyer and some Shoanti tribesmen were being ripped off by the Aspis consortium over brokerage and storage fees for the auction.
** spoiler omitted **
Neat. It can be fun when someone brings their real-life experience to a game session.

Cool story -
One of my older fraternity brothers, Steve, has cystic fibrosis. His older brother also had it, but died from it about 20 years ago. Years ago, Steve wrote a poem about it. Recently, another fraternity brother took that poem, changed it up a bit, and put it to music.
Very cool s#+$. It'd make you cry.
That's a great gesture.

You should be, if only for the misuse of "their." :S

Like the one time my character had all his clothes disintegrated, so I played that entire session naked...

I don't suppose anybody here has a Nintendo 2- or 3DS and has played Bravely Default yet? I downloaded the demo but haven't gotten around to trying it out; however I stumbled onto the soundtrack on Youtube and it's pretty awesome. Was curious if anyone had experience with the game and could tell me if it's any good or not (with the caveat that it's a JRPG so if you don't like JRPGs you probably won't/don't enjoy it) before I consider splurging.

Yep. San Jose, California.
I have not had the chance to return to Capistrano, though.

Thank <deity> there aren't any spider circuses.
Hmmm... {scribbles notes for a twerking peacock spider with eight clown shoes, a red foam nose, and hideous laughter as a Sp ability}
Ooooo, have a swarm of them unpack from a seemingly-too-small-to-contain-them-all container/chest.

That's kinda awesome. That said, I'd do my best impersonation of a dog whistle and manage a sudden mythic feat of acrobatics onto my desk if I saw one in my house, but it's kinda awesome.

Yes, that's why I'm letting him come to me this time.
The other way around didn't turn out well.Also this is a gnome wearing makeup not a giant goblin dog demon.

I don't know how to interview for a job when I ultimately get to make the final desicion. Do i get to say " I'll get back to you in a couple of days" Cause that would be awesome
The only thing that really matters is deciding if it's a job you want.
Research the company, and come up with questions that will tell you what you need to know. I asked about how long my interviewer had worked there. What he liked most about it. What he liked least. As he answered questions, I pursued things that caught my attention.
Find out about the culture, the longevity of employees, the perqs and the atmosphere. Take stock of the things you know you can't stand in a job and try to find out about how prevalent those sorts of things are there.
In my experience (software engineer), they'll come back to you later through the headhunter with an offer if interested. You don't have to say anything then except "Thank you for your time, I enjoyed learning more about you. I hope to hear from you soon."

I admit I enjoy the ego stroke. Great advice JD! I and pretty much anybody would know this company. So the stability factor is there.
I still know some folks who work for them, so i will do my due diligence, in the mean time I sent off my resume with my package requirements for me to jump ship, and of course I have to discuss it with my wife
