I think Wii Points, Microsoft Points and whatever points system the PS3 uses are all crap. It's like spending money on tickets to buy stuff at the carnival; you always walk home with ten-some unused tickets because you spent $20 on 40 tickets and everything costs 30 tickets anyway. It's a scam.
There I go again, being ansgty in the hopeful thread. Well, I'm happy to report that I aced a fairly big history test at my school.
