"I wonder who Lady Shayna is?"

Glad to hear a well-known critic talk about the hair in this game. I must have spent (no joke) 15 hours replaying the opening scene trying to build a character who didn't look like they had plastic hair. Also, the lack of sideburns as a facial hair option made me sad.

Try getting 999 seconds in the Cucco dodging minigame in ALBW. Your reward for that? A one-time gift of 3,000 rupees, and a giant Cucco who sits beside the pen and heals you for exactly 1 heart every time you talk to it. At least the Ice Arrows were kind of cool reward for doing a nifty dungeon...

I can understand that. I've edited it now.

Is that a new rule? I've been coming here on and off for years and I've never heard of that. If it is, I apologize. EDIT: I apologize even if it isn't a new rule. In fact, I'd say that's even worse on my part.

I just watched the Copyright episode of the Jimquisition and he mentions someone named 'Northern Lion'. I thought to myself, "wasn't that the XBox Live account name we all used in university?" One short search in YouTube confirmed it. Same bald head, same stubble, same black-framed glasses...

I've always sort of wondered the same thing. Lesbian porn? Sure, I can see why guys watch that, for all the reasons posted here. Not really big on it myself, but I'm not a big porn watcher either. Real lesbians? Meh, I just don't get it. I remember one of my co-workers once saying, "There...

Marry me. But seriously, Nintendo should do something with this franchise, even if it's only an assist trophy or a minor reference. Just enough so that us few, proud fans of it know that they haven't completely forgotten it.

Yeah, pretty much. Parts of the EU are more important than Bob implied, though it is funny that he used an image of Splinter of the Mind's Eye in reference to it. That particular book is about as 'uncanon' as it gets when it comes to Star Wars EU, considering in it... ...and that it also kind...

That was highly entertaining. I liked this little gem at the end: "9.0 It's okay" One last zinger, yah?

Yay. On another note, my friend has this crazy theory where Rebuild is actually a sequel rather than a reboot. He cites the fact that the Lance of Longinus is on the moon from the beginning rather than it being thrown there midway through the series as proof. I've not heard of any official...

I'll just jump in here for a slightly tangential comment. Yes, XCOM uses a seeded random number list that it draws from every time it needs to do a calculations, just like most Fire Emblem games (the two on the NES and the first one on the SNES don't do this, actually). And yes, in both games...

You have a certain degree of control over the pace of XCOM, despite appearances. The game tries to trick you by labelling certain research or engineeering projects as 'PRIORITY', but you don't have to research those as soon as they become available - in fact, it's probably suicide if you do. If...

See, I'm not entirely convinced that the quality of the show went completely downhill after the 3rd season. The good parts of Bleach (crazy, mindless action, fist-pumping awesome moments, etc.) never really got any worse for me. It's just that after the 3rd season we stopped getting just stray...

Eh, I'm pretty neutral on Kenpachi Zaraki, to be honest. I understand the point of his character, and I he's involved in some great scenes, but I was never really enamoured with him like it appears a significant portion of Bleach fandom is. I'm definitely not saying it's a show everyone...
