Yeah I know you're talking about RyogoKari or whatever and I included what I think he has in my list. Mainly just DDR and DM. I wasn't sure if he had GF and Pop'n which is why I have a little question mark next to their numbers.

Remember that one time I was on "admin warning" or whatever? Literally, what would this messageboard be without my chubby cherubic face and web posts?

I have one week to find a degree-relevant job or I fall into the realm of "working shitty job while living at home" graduates.

I'm gonna be like a newspaper article and blame the recession.
I really love CS:GO's 64 tick servers.

Unfortunately that's the status quo of the world of business today - a lot of businesses are cutting back and just not hiring thanks to your friendly neighborhood bank. It took me about six months to find a full-time big boy job that I got fired from a year later. Use the time you have productively and do the fun shit you enjoy while you work your shitty job at home because once you have a full-time job, a gym membership, a home/apartment, and a girlfriend you will literally have no time for shit outside of the weekend.

I know it sucks but you can always consider graduate school if that's an option. It'll give time for business to regain its confidence and it will make you much more marketable to your borderline retarded HR rep. Plus you can demand a higher salary and buy a hot tub!

This will sound homo but, if I could help it, I wouldn't mind working full-time and living with mommy. You'd be surprised how much rent/mortgage can take out of your paycheck and good fucking luck finding a place that isn't a dangerous shit hole that doesn't take up more than a third of your Bachelor degree salary. Of course you won't be throwing awesome parties and getting your penis shellacked at your parent's home, but that's why you befriend the people that host those kinds of social gatherings.

I'm just saying, the more responsibilities you take on the less time you have for yourself. That's sort of the big kahuna about becoming an adult. We never see Jim or Zach that much anymore since their life is their families now as it very well should be.

I'm optimistic that things will get better!

I've got all the things you listed except the gym membership. You still see me and I'm actively doing things...

Your argument is invalid! ;)

Brian you are literally a man child with a veritable Neverland Ranch of Bemani games in your basement.

I mean that in a good way though. Moral of the story is don't have kids.

Kids were not on your list...and they're not on mine either. All I'm saying is that "real life" is what you make of it.

If I was Brian's child I wonder if I would even enjoy music games or grow up to resent them and take up Racquetball and join the swimming team to spite my father.

I live with my parents right now because I can't afford to live on my own. Student loan payments suck :(

Don't student loan payments scale with your income? I don't know shit about them, but my ladyfriend likes to tell me all about her woes.
