You talk about Dissociative Identity Disorder and don't mention Xenogears?

I recently found a copy of Odin Sphere in a bargain bin...

Got a Nintendo DS? I highly recommend "The World Ends With You".

Incidentally, that one "unwinnable" game in Windows FreeCell is, indeed, unwinnable. (It was proven by a computer program that went through all possible lines of play.)
