An insect like creature found in the game Final Fantasy IX. They seem to be disgusting creatures, especially to Steiner. They make the sound 'gwok' and bounce around, generally providing comic relief. Examples include when Eiko puts an Oglop in the stew that Zidane eats and when Regent Cid Fabool of Lindblum gets turned into one by his wife.

Get the oglop mug.The Tamil Tigers aka the LTTE are a group of Tamils fighting for Tamil Eelam. They were set up to fight against the discriminatory Sinhalese government's attempts to treat Tamils living in Sri Lanka as second class citizens.
However, in their attempts to do this they ended up stooping down to immoral acts - although they did not commit as many attrocities against civilians as the Sinhalese government did.
Whilst they are a terrorist organisation, mostly interested in their own agenda, they are less responsible for the conflict in Sri Lanka than the government. Now that they have been pretty much defeated, the Sinhalese government will have a free reign and if something is not done there is a danger that there will be a genocide. Tamil civilians in Sri Lanka must be helped!

The Tamil Tigers may be bad but they haven't murdered as many innocent people as the Sinhalese government.

Get the Tamil Tigers mug.In my opinion, the best game ever. Final Fantasy IX is very different thematically to FFVII and FFVIII since it returns to its roots. Instead of a modern world with mobiles and emails, the setting is pretty simple (although there are airships). It truly feels like a fantasy game and one that is done extremely well.
The characters are all unique and are brought to life by a beautifully written script. Nobuo Uematsu returned for his last solo FF sound track and it was amazing. From the beginning piece 'The Place I'll Return to Someday' to the emotionally powerful 'You're not alone', the music never fails to pull at those heart strings.
The gameplay is solid and enjoyable despite lacking any uniqueness. Which brings me onto another point about FFIX in that it was intended to be a throw back to the earlier Final Fantasys. In that respect the plot, characters and setting were not ground breaking. But all these aspects were done so damn well that Sakaguchi, the series founder called it the best Final Fantasy yet. Uematsu said the same.
In conclusion, FFIX is a magnificent game although it failed to make the impact that many FF fans (such as me) feel it deserved. So, for those of you who haven't played it, go play it now! It is more than just a game, the experience and memories may well last you a lifetime.

Get the Final Fantasy IX mug.What some people think Obama fans will feel about Obama if he ever gets elected. If that's the case then Im still drunk. And tbh, I dont give a damn what they say.
Random moron: "You're loving Obama now, but wait until you get the Obama hangover when he's elected"
Me: "No. Just no. His policies are sound and he is a competent politician. Just because he is ideological it doesn't mean he's delusional. In fact, if I remember correctly, he was the only major candidate to have had the foresight and sanity to have highlighted what he knew would happen and what has now become the travesty known as the war in Iraq. Further more, he talks about change in a way that can actually work. Now lets hope he gets elected and that he holds to his words and delivers. Some people percieve Obama fans as people purely caught up with his personality and charisma. While it is true for a small minority, the general assumption is erroneous. And while he does make a great speech, most of us support his policies as well.
