It's something anime-related.

I've enjoyed the first two Splinter Cell games on PS2, but they both have checkpoints. You can't just save whenever you want to, which I know the third one allows. You have to be very good with your sneaking and your decisions until you get to a checkpoint or save point. I believe there's a certain PC version that allows a quicksave, but yeah I'm annoyed at the inability to do it. I know the PS2 port of the original Deus Ex allows you to save whenever you want to, so I'm not sure why the developers wouldn't put that in.

I think the point about losing creativity and freshness is a big factor, which has already been explained and so I can't really add anything new to that. But yeah, stagnation can hurt. One must do something at least a little new and adapt, maybe an experiment to shake things up or make progress. However, I believe another reason why something can go downhill is when the directors and creators lose sight of what attracts people to their series in the first place. They may experiment too much or just remove far too many things that people liked before and make some changes that leave the fans feeling alienated and/or insulted. Salvaging the fans and keeping them happy is highly important IMO. I've seen that happen where the creators don't seem to care about the fans and may want to appeal to a new, wider audience, but I think when you do that, you end up losing the audience, and quality. The fans leave and potential new fans don't really show up in numbers to compensate for the loss of previous fans. I think there's a delicate balance between trying to be fresh and new while still keeping what people like and enjoy.

I'd pay off my student loans and probably my sisters' loans as well. Not sure what I'd do next, except to save a big chunk of money for many years later.

I think I've been to five in my lifetime. Last time was a couple years ago where I went to my sister's wedding. It was nice since we didn't have to travel at all, the wedding was in a city near me. I've had fun at weddings with dancing and even catching up with family and friends.

I'd prefer to be a small part in a good movie. Can't really give a reason other than I think it's better to a part of something that's memorable for good reasons.

I like Pinkie Pie's uppity, positive voice. It's very cute, too.
