Oo-na nee-na glou glou~ Experience Points is a series in which I highlight some of the most memorable things about a particular game. These can include anything from a specific scene or moment, a character, a weapon or item, a level or location, a part of the soundtrack, a gameplay mechanic, a line of dialogue, or anything else about the game that is particularly noteworthy and/or awesome. This series will no doubt contain spoilers for the games being discussed, so keep that in mind if you plan on playing the game for the first time....

Along with creepy children, old houses and red balloons.

Questioning the video game school girl This is my second autumn with no classes to attend, no textbooks to buy, no desperate claws through books I should have read last night, but didn’t. Even though “school” doesn’t theme my life the way it used to, I’ve always soothed myself with school-centered art, and I find that even after my last graduation, I haven’t lost my taste for it. Admittedly, I tend to stick to the maybe more traditional modes of processing the moody, murky ennui of school, like campus novels (Idiotby Elif Batuman is a new one I like a lot), high school coming-of-age films (Heathers,Easy A,John Tucker Must Die… need I go on…), and decidedly college radio (anything that usesthis pedalreminds me of inhaling stinking river water by the frat houses) than campus or high school centered video games....
