Ask Me Anything!

Posted this on dA a little while ago and I figure I'd try it out here lol

Few artists are man/woman enough to openly answer any and all questions thrown at them. Are you? Prove it. Copy/Paste this as a new journal entry and answer every question you get.

Rules:
-You must answer every question you get no matter what it's about and you must do so honestly.
-There are no questions that can not be asked as long as they are within the rules of theO. They can be personal, about OCs, and everything in between.

GO AHEAD AND ASK AWAY!!!:D

LIVESTREAM TONIGHT [OFF]

Come on in guys!

Please click the link --->http://www.livestream.com/umedaisao?t=264469

PS: Disregard the previous videos. I was testing out how Livestream worked at the time.

ATLUS IS GONE?!?!?!?

Say it ain't so!!!

Unfortunately, a friend of mine told me that the people who created Shin Megami Tensei and Persona have officially been dissolved by their parent company and with the evidence online as proof it's all true. I don't blame them; it's tough out there...but still man!

However, aside from the company being gone, word is that they're in the works of their first 3D RPG for PS3 and Xbox 360. It's called "Catherine" and it's well..."different" in how they're are being risque on how this game will playout ^^;

(Ripped from Wikipedia xD)
You play as Vincent, a salaryman who one day bumps into a mysterious 22-year-old woman called Catherine. Later that night, he begins to have nightmares which transports him into a world of unending staircases. In order to escape from his recurring nightmares, Vincent has to keep on reaching the top of the staircase.

It's weird but interesting. An interesting kind of weird 8P see for yourself...if you dare--->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqVOssrCTd8&feature=related

Tired of the Bull...

I'm just sick of the shit my job is giving me...and today solidified that!

You guys know I was in Cali for about a week so I went and requested time off. Not only that but I HAD to use up my accumulated vacation time or else I would lose it (makes no sense to do it that way but hey that's how my boss makes her freakin money)

I had saved up about over 20 hours of vacation so I thought I would get that back on my upcoming paycheck...well I was wrong!!! IT'S NOT EVEN THERE!!!!

Went and talked to my Human Resources Manager and he goes and tells me that they can't pay me the vacation I asked for because I never specified the "amount" of hours I wanted to use and they can't give the hours I accumulated before because I have to use up whatever hours I have "now".

So in otherwords, my vacation hours from before don't mean JACK!!!

TOTAL...F'N...BULL!!! I am tired of not being able to make it higher in this company that I devoted 2 years of my life, thinking that people were looking out for me and wanted me to succeed, waking up at 4 in the frickin morning to go to work busting my ass only to deal with this crap. I try to put on a smiling face but now I AM DONE WITH THIS!

To everybody who is reading this, I am so sorry for lashing out here. I am just tired of this...good intentions and hard work don't get you far in today's world apparently...and I was naive enough to think that.

Again, I'm sorry for blowing up here. Please forgive me guys...
