    Is Demon's Souls like Monster Hunter?

    Demon's Souls is only "difficult" if you're not patient. There is a lot of trial and error, and there's a method to advancing through levels. It's just about pacing and knowing what enemies are where. The bosses aren't too hard either, until the later stages of the game. It's all about being...

    Poll: Favourite progressive (rock) band?

    I don't listen to a lot of progressive rock, but I do like Tool and A Perfect Circle.

    Japan makes cooler characters than everyone else...

    Japan also makes the most incessantly annoying characters (Vanille from FFXIII comes to mind).

    Your Favorite enemies/bosses in games

    My favorite boss is probably Ultimecia from FFVIII. Took me a LONG time to finally beat her. Fou-Lu from Breath of Fire IV is a close second though.

    You've just been selected to become a power ranger :D

    Neon Green Muay Thai My special ability would be poisoning my enemies water supply with asbestos. My robot would be a 40 foot Matt Damon.

    Is it just me, or has a lot of recent anime aged badly?

    I still like Dragon Ball Z, though I suppose it's more because I grew up with it than anything. Most animes that feel the need to stretch out as long as possible grow stale after awhile. My favorite animes, like Ergo Proxy, tend to be extremely short.

    Do you want to get married?

    1. No. 2. N/A 3. It has to be a no right now. I'm not getting married unless I find the right person. Otherwise I'd be marrying just to marry and that's just a waste.

    Good Guy/Bad Guy Switcheroo!

    Yeah, if you think about it, that's the most realistic way to go. When there are conflicts based on ideological values and whatnot, the loser ends up being the technical "bad guy" because the values of the winner are the values that are adopted.

    Poll: Do you like rts games?

    I've tried really hard to like them. It hasn't happened yet, it's just doesn't engage me enough to keep my attention.

    Good Guy/Bad Guy Switcheroo!

    It's an interesting thought. I feel like God of War did that (although moreso in the first incarnations than the later ones). I really felt like a baddie in the first GoW and there wasn't really a redeeming quality to be found. It wasn't until the later games that Kratos had more humanity...

    How do you arrange your music?

    I just have a folder for each band or artist that I listen to. And inside that folder they're separated by album title. Other than that, they're not really organized at all. I still make a point of putting all the songs in the correct folder just because it annoys me to see files laying around...

    Is it a stretch to say that Gamers are *Prejudiced against eachother*? *fixed*

    It's not as much the person as it is what they represent I guess. They represent the community of players that make games like CoD more popular than games they see as more deserving of the recognition. It just turns into resentment after awhile.

    Is it a stretch to say that Gamers are *Prejudiced against eachother*? *fixed*

    It's mainstream and popular, making it evil. I'm not a fan of the game myself but I'm not a fan of MOST FPS games in general. People get upset when games they are very fond of don't get as much recognition or perform as well commercially as a game they see as inferior. If CoD wasn't as popular...

    Last album you listened from start to finish

    Unearth's Darkness in the Light. Just got around to listening to it, not as good as I hoped, but not bad.

    Which should I play first?

    If it were me, I'd pick up LA Noire first. But I think both have their pros and cons. LA Noire gets repetitive very fast and Crysis 2 has a weak campaign mode. LA Noire is definitely the longer of the two and you'll probably get more out of it. They can both be enjoyable though. Personally I had...
