"Sega have never excelled in RPG titles," What about Phantasy Star? Phantasy Star Online is one of my favorite games. I'd say that's a pretty good RPG. There's also Shining Force, which is a strategy-RPG. The one for the genesis was pretty good.

Bangers and Mash is super delicious. Also, England has take-out Indian food similar to how America has take-out Chinese. And if you don't like curry, well then you must have no soul.

Kyoto is wonderful, as long as you aren't arrogant and make some attempt to communicate in Japanese, people will love you (in general). Also, the signs for public transport are in English so it's easy to get around. Kyoto is packed with tourist sites of the historical variety which is great if...

"Estonia? Where in Texas is that?" A fan at a bowl game when informed that the star SMU defensive player was from Estonia. It's in Eastern Europe btw.

One day in my communications class, the professor answered a student's question with something along the lines of "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it." then she said, "Like in high school when I was walking across the town bridge and decided that I was going to cross it and live, or throw...

My biggest gripe is that Bane sounds pretty much exactly like Deckard Cain.

I think a more productive question would be "what anime HAS ended well". That list is far shorter. Many anime seem to fall into the idea that if they end conclusively, no one will want any more; thereby thwarting hopes of a second season. Whereas if the ending is open-ended, fans will be...

I think the first Dark Cloud game for the PS2 had something like that.

Lunar: Dragon Song. Yes it had some atrocious gameplay decisions, but I still <3 me some Lunar.

Morrowind holds up well IMO. Only problem is, it doesn't really click for most new players. But that isn't indicative of nostalgia, just that unless you have a solid grasp of the (somewhat lackluster) mechanics it was really hard to do basically anything, but if you do a little research and...

According to a few in-game books, Argonians seem to be popular prostitutes in Tamriel, so this idea really isn't anything new. In Morrowind just read "The Lusty Argonian Maid" and Book 3 of "The Wolf Queen" to see what I'm talking about.

The battle system in White is superior IMO, as are the graphics. Plus the new XP curve makes the early levels far less painful. Also, all dungeons have a nice heal point halfway through. Many of the Unova-dex Pokemon are pretty fun to play with too. HOWEVER! If you haven't yet played Gen V, I...

This is why steampunk exists. You can get the aesthetics of the time period, but you don't need the trade-off between historical accuracy and good game play.

One day, I was helping my friend move in, and I'm helping him carry this ratty old recliner into the living room. We set it down, and right from underneath where I had been holding it, a spider scurries out. My biologist friend swiftly catches it, and while we're all looking at it, we realize...

I find it more offensive that the PCs official English names are 'Hilbert' and 'Hilda'.
