While this always comes up, to the point of being over done- Mother 3. And this isn't just the ending, the whole game is a complete contrast between Itoi's usual quirky humor and some really heavy depressing stuff. There's a reason this series has the tag lines "Strange, Funny, heart rending"...

Man, I really like the challenges in the Duels games, they remind me of the old ones you used to get in the magazines, of course with those you wouldn't really know if you'd done it right till the next month. I haven't got Duels 2012 yet, but I enjoyed the ones in the first Duels and these...

That's a pretty interesting look at how Karma systems affect play. A lot of the time, they do seem pretty arbitrary (And usually just give a different ending), but you've pointed out something that not a lot do, that some people are actually affected by how the game treats the player based on...

Another good thing to look at for 'Anything can be anime'; the entirety of Studio Ghibli's movies. To list a few- a highschool drama with time travel, a girl getting stuck in a fantasy world and finding her way back, a girl saving a cat who turns out to be the 'prince of cats', and then a...

Yeah that's a good example. While writing that and after, I did think of a bunch of examples (While simple, Fable 1 and 2 gives your different exp for using melee, magic or ranged more than the others), though I'll admit, Fallout didn't cross my mind, points to you, man!

When most people think about gaining exp, it's a pretty simple mindset- kill things, get exp, repeat. But I've also been thinking of other ways that exp could be gained, or how it affects the character. Take the way it works in tabletop RPGs- in World of Darkness, you get exp from playing...

... well... Yeah.. you, you win

It's pretty good, too. Basically take all the tropes from a battle manga, with rivals, big shows of force... only instead of fighting, they are trying to get the most votes and get the Number 1 spot in Shonen Jump (Though they re-named it Shonen Jack in the anime for some reason) It's also by...

Drink-along-with-Dallas. When ever a character has a drink- you have a drink! If you happen to have a collection of alcohol, you can even make it you drink what they drink!

Anime and Manga cover a lot of different topics, with enough genres and demographics to be able to appeal to everything. Most people only think of them as being things like DragonBall, which is probably because they also think of the western equivalents only being cape comics (Though there is...

ALL OF MY MONEY

If you want good non-eastern comics about eastern topics, you'll want to find the odder looking ones- Usagi Yojimbo, and even the first few Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics should be cool (Trust me, the TMNT comics are the complete opposite of the cartoons). If you are willing to dip into...

Mang, how did I forget this scene. Comes out of NOWHERE

Mother 3. Yeah, pretty much that's all you need to say, anyone who's played the game will know what scenes are really hard hitting (and if you haven't go play it like right now) Also- go to Romani Ranch on the night of the Third Day in Majora's Mask (You'll need to have saved Romani from...

Pretty much any Fantasy Flight game, they take ages to set up, but are well worth it. I've got really into their Lovecraft games in particular- Arkham Horror and Mansions of Madness. Of of course, like everyone else who's worth their weight in d20's- Settler's of Catan And if you're...
