Ah... that's understandable. I can totally relate. It sucks, but it happens. Sad that good, hard-working people often don't get a job they deserve.
I'm a bit reluctant to buy a 3DS... Feels like a waste to buy a new console (which, btw, is still quite expensive here) and just play Pokemon X/Y on it. Not very eager to play Fire Emblem anymore nowadays... As about Atelier, I haven't even tried the ones on PS3, but spin-offs usually aren't as good, imo.
Yeah, I am. Been going rather... repetitive. Sometimes there's assignments, sometimes there's homework, sometimes there's work. Sometimes I game, sometimes I laze around!
