I got hired based on this…

Ok, so… I got a little bored and figured I do some Google searching for fun. My idea of fun is rapidly declining, apparently. Anyway, I Googled my wife’s maiden name… and only one website came up. Only one… and it was a site that I made… in like 1998. Seriously. Wow.

For those of you who believe there is no God, here is proof positive. I got a seriously high paying contract position, my very first “real” job, based on this horrifying, yet hilarious website. Most of the links still work! I might have even used a Blink tag or two! I dunno. O_o… any link with a file for download is now broken, but wow… Check out that amazing animation. HA!!! Wow… just… wow. To think I actually grew into a legitimate web professional out of that! Unbelievable.

Final Fantasy and Google Earth

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s thought this, but a Final Fantasy Game that uses Google Earth would just all out freaking rule. I mean, the interface of Google Earth is pretty much exactly like flying the airship in Final Fantasy 7. Ok, I know there’s been more iterations of Final Fantasy since 7, but do they really count? My Knights of the Round Materia tells me “No”. I mean, it uses a spell called “Ultimate End”. Shouldn’t that be a clue?

On that premise, however, there should never have been a Final Fantasy 2… because that negates the part of the title that uses the word Final. It’s a video game, so it can break the rules.

Anyway, I’m really looking forward to video games being developed using Google Earth. They’re gonna be wicked.

An old school Legend of Zelda-style Action/RPG using Google Earth would rule too. Just my two-cents.
