->''"The next morning Hiro Sakurai made his big debut at Fukuyama High. One by one, groups of students tried to befriend him, and they all came back with the same verdict ... He was a cold fish, through and through. I had never seen a student care so little about fitting in. It was as if he ''wanted'' to be left alone. And, sure enough, he was. By the end of the week, Hiro Sakurai had systematically frozen himself out of every clique in whole school. Even the ''losers'' wanted nothing to do with him."''

->''"The rest of the bog hut’s interior is pretty unremarkable, except for the cages. Now, the comment Nancy made to Ned regarding the hut aggravated me, and it still does:

-> What “weird things” are there really in this hut? Herbs, sewing materials, a fireplace, a bed, a dresser, cages, and various tools. For someone living in the middle of nowhere, away from virtually all human contact in the middle of a bog, those things don’t seem too far-fetched. Personally, what upsets me the most about Nancy’s comment is that the cages could have any number of mundane or innocent uses. The hermit could have spent his/her time tending to wounded animals that could no longer survive in the wild, which would easily explain the dishes in the cage that Nancy has to clean. That was my main reason for writing this meta - the fact that Nancy assumes the worst simply because this hut is in the middle of a bog and was once inhabited by a person who didn’t, for whatever reason, want to take part in “normal” society."''

->''"Meanwhile, show up at Gameplay Land and ask if it will be possible to play singleplayer, and the game reacts like you sat down at an expensive restaurant and ordered a bowl of Corn Flakes. You go to the privacy settings -- once you can '''find''' the fucking things, 'cause this game has a worse menu system than a [=McDonald's=] drive-thru after a major earthquake. What is it with Ultra AAA games having shitty interfaces these days? Is it the same principle by which Las Vegas casinos are laid out? To get you lost and unable to glimpse the sun in the hope that you get confused and accidentally drop all your money? -- and your options are: "Public Match, As God Intended" or "Private Match For Big Stupid Losers". Then, when you set it to private and try to start solo, a window pops up, saying, 'Ha ha ha, sorry. Someone's clearly made a '''dreadful''' mistake. '''Surely''' you don't '''actually''' want to play a solo private match. Just click here and we'll set it back to public play so you can rejoin all the '''normal people'''.' But I '''didn't''' click that, and then the tip on the fucking loading screen was something about how playing multiplayer earns more rewards and doesn't make the little Baby Jesus cry. What the fuck '''is''' this, guys?! Am I on suicide watch?!"''
