    oldschool?

    I think it's fair to say that this flow chart works. NOW SCHOOL / \ v JUST A WHILE AGO SCHOOL / \ v OLD SCHOOL / \ v EVEN OLDER ETC So, the trend/console after last is old school. This is my thinking. EDIT: person who posted right above me, I...

    Improving the JRPG for the Next Generation.

    STATS!! OH GOD STATS!!!! It's not the stats themselves I don't like, it's where I'm forced to keep track of who has what stats where that it gets infuriating. And really, is there that much disparity between a level one and level ninety-nine? Only like a month or something has passed. You...

    1...2...3 Action! Movies, Games and Dinosaurs

    I saw good bye lenin! I was disappointed though, because it was billed as a comedy and ended up being a drama. So. I agree! 100% Except with the dinosaurs and all. I mean, what? Like, dinosaurs? Yeah.

    Do you play an instrument?

    I can play the acoustic guitar, the kalimba, the hulusi, and I have an erhu (which I never use.) The kalimba is a West African instrument also known as the Mbira or thumb piano. The hulusi is a free reed instrument played by the Dai peoples of Yunnan province, China. The erhu is one of...

    Things you did not know

    After the allies liberated the Nazi concentration camps, all the homosexuals were sent straight to jail. Kind of Ironic.

    Improving the JRPG for the Next Generation.

    I grew up on JRPGs: they are close to my heart. However, they all seem like crap nowadays, (excepting FFXII.) I used to love their artistic qualities, their plots, but most of all, their exotic mystique. Maybe they have changed lately, because all I see are these lame cartoony adventures with...

    Poll: All's Fair In Love and War?

    What starts war? If it's a disagreement, then regulations are good. There are many ways to solve disagreements, and a completely regulated war would be decisive without being as atrocious as an unregulated one. Example - Decide an entire war with a duel. Sounds dumb? If both sides agree to it...

    Question.

    I think we all know that everybody would rather keep their opinion than change their minds - in general, of course. I think what we really need is respectful discussion. It's possible to argue about the vilidity of someone's points without it deteriorating to a who has the loudest voice contest...

    games you WISH they made sequels to

    Although the Games are highly interconnected, I believe what Solace meant was that you moved around in a different world with different characters doing different things. The plot of CC was made to fit in the cracks of CT, but in essence there was little tangible relation between the games...

    When did reading become a thing to hate?

    Maybe if he read more he'd learn to be less homophobic. I hate reading. It's so dumb. But I do it anyways. It's not that bad. But it's not the world. When I was younger I would read all the time, but it was mostly for escapism (aware of irony.) Only later did I learn to read deeply. But...

    whats in a scrub? the discussion about comepetitive gaming

    I think he made sense in some places - I've totally known people who would cry cheap as soon as I started winning. But I agree with josh. I think sirlin is only considering the independant actions of each player. If both players play "scrub", then maybe the game will be less fun. And maybe if...

    Philosophy in gaming

    I think the philosophical theories expounded here are bullocks. Bullocks! I have a general dissatisfaction with Western thought. I don't feel I can fully articulate it - but I remember hearing one quote "Philosphy is taking the blatantly obvious and coming up with the absolutely ridiculous." I...
