    FF7 remake most important ever, and that's not a compliment

    No, Radical Dreamers is the direct sequel to Chrono Trigger... Seriously though, we need another game like Chrono Trigger where you travel through time and alter the time line, not the lite version we got with Chrono Cross (Parallel Dimensions).

    Dear old nerds, what were the old days like?

    I remember it being a lot easier to get SUBS than DUBS. Sure, if you get anime from a company like AnimEigo, it is subbed. Let's not forget physical fansubs and bootlegs. DVDs started coming into their own in the early 2000's, but by then the fanbase was getting larger and that had a whole...

    6 yr olds are more tech savvy than 45 yr olds.

    Complete nonsense. A 45 year old grew up in the late seventies and eighties, and probably played Atari and Nintendo games growing up and used old school computers in school. Any job he went into would require computers to some extent. Chances are good that he built his own computer. The...

    Game of Thrones Author Admits Pressure to Finish Books Affect Him

    Does Martin owe his fans? Hell yeah! The backlash might not be as big if there wasn't an apology at the end of book 4 stating that he went too long and the rest of the characters would be covered in book 5, which should be out in a year. It was seven years before it finally came out (with an...

    Don't Recommend Me an Anime

    I really don't see these things as plot-holes. The only thing that bugs me is the guy has the potion in his hand and doesn't drink it, even though he knows death in the game is real. Pretty much that guy commits suicide. He didn't really want to live in the game world, and you see that with a...

    Movies Passing the Bechdel Test for Sexism Earned More in 2013

    Now make this list more interesting. Remove children from the equation. Despicable Me 2 has 3 little girls so it meets the weak criteria. Their interaction with the new chick is essentially parent-child bonding. Any parent child bonding or little girl - little girl relationship is- by social...

    The Master

    I hate to break it to you, but Persona 3 portable was the easy version. When you warp out using the floor ducts, you can go back to that floor, you didn't have to use a midboss teleport (only if you want to revisit that set of floors). Yeah, P4 had pretty much ten floors before a save...

    Poll: Countries are just lines drawn in the sand with a stick

    Yes please, sign me up? Oh wait, whose government would it be? We'd like to think it would be a democracy with freedom of religion and all that good stuff, but for all we know it could be under sharia law or some other monsterous institution. Even our 'enlightened' first world countries do...

    Can a game "survive" in this market without a multiplayer mode?

    Hell, these days we just see Multiplayer games with tacked on single player mode. Remember that crapstorm named Brink? Personally, I believe that a game cannot be good without a solid single player (or co-op). I mean, I enjoy Assassins Creed, but the multiplayer means nothing to me. Every...

    What exactly is the moral difference between pirating a game and borrowing one if you...

    Yes, that was mentioned back when we started talking about tape cassette recorders and VCRs. Hell, these days I can set my cable box to record whatever I don't feel like watching at the moment and come back to it whenever, and then fast forward past the commercials. When you say that it is...

    What exactly is the moral difference between pirating a game and borrowing one if you...

    Morally, this sort of piracy is null. Oh sure, there is legality, but you can be DAMN sure just because something is illegal it isn't necessarily immoral, and vice-versa. But on the Morality side, theft is tied to ownership. Let us look at an example. I have a bag of old gold coins. You...

    EXP: ScrewAttack's Death BATTLE! - Luke Skywalker vs. Harry Potter

    Your path to the dark side is now complete Sith Lord Skywalker! Seriously? Force choke is a dark side power, and pretty much an extreme one. Using the force to tear the flesh from somebodies face apart is the very definition of the dark side of the force that Yoda tried to warn Luke about...

    Escape to the Movies: Pacific Rim

    It was fun to watch, but every single bit of 'science' in this science fiction movie is blatantly WRONG. Star Trek takes liberties and elaborates on current theories for many of their concepts. Pacific Rim doesn't even do that, they take scientific principles known for hundreds of years and...

    Favourite anime protagonist

    Gon Freeks from Hunter x Hunter. I love this anime. Just the Hunters entrance exam alone is enough to get you hooked on Gon, and that is before he actually comes into his own power. He's seriously just a kid with some good reflexes and a fishing pole. He doesn't manage to win a conventional...

    French fries, how do you guys eat them?

    I'm amazed that nobody has said fry sauce. At which point I would have to abuse them for calling it fry sauce because it is just ketchup and mayo, essentially BURGER SAUCE! Naw, but seriously, I top it with cheese and bacon bits and dip it in ranch dressing.
