    While that's very much true, it isn't really the point. People in worse-off economies now have to spend more to get the same amount of content. Unnecessary expenditure, sure, but isn't a LOT of stuff we enjoy unnecessary?

    I don't see how it isn't the point. If someone isn't doing well financially, it is ill-advised to spend money on something that at best makes your character in a video game look slightly better. Micro-transactions are a bonus, no more no less.

    Don't get me wrong, it sucks that certain people can't afford certain things, but Riot is a business.

    Anybody got a spare Club Nintendo code for Theatrhythm Curtain Call, Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, or Smash 3DS? I get extra coins for those if I register them since I filled out intent to purchase surveys, but I don't actually own any of them yet...

    Found a very helpful post about the whole Riot Points debacle.

    I liked the part where Leo played a sleazebag.

    Hype'd up on stupid amounts of caffeine because I didn't do this English paper I was supposed to do all week.

    I just "Chappie" and I'm sweating. This film took my attention with metal hands and I loved it.

    Anyone else ever feel like in school they just aren't doing good enough? I mean for God's sake I have a 4.0 and I feel like I am "this close" to messing up big time.

    The pressure man...its fucking real ._.

    Every damn day.

    There are days when I just am confounded what possessed me to even try seriously studying to be a game journalist, something I already get flak for.

    That's how I feel about the medical industry. It's like oh yay only 15 people get into the program I want to get in per semester. I'm doomed....

    For me, it's kind of the opposite: game journalists aren't exactly respected, so there seems to be a negative stigma around it.
