Yesterday I sat for the Zend Certified PHP Engineer exam. Within 10 minutes, I knew I was going to fail the test, and less than an hour later it was confirmed. I not only failed, but I totally bombed it, getting what I presume would be a “passing” score in […]

Since it’s been about three months since my last update, decided it was time to do another backlog update post! Console Game Backlog The Last Story (Wii; got stuck near the end and never could finish due to not being able to go back to level up) Xenosaga Episode II: […]
