    Unskippable: The Witch and the Hundred Knight, Part 2 - Apparently He's a Pokemon

    Arlecchino says like two sentences and instantly becomes the best character in the cutscene.

    Boys Behaving Badly

    These comments are oddly philosophical, or maybe not considering the internet is a medium for discussion. I think something that never really comes up in these movies is that numbers kill and empathy is why you don't do bad things. There should be at least one of these movies that brings up...

    Keeping Batman Original

    That's metal. Also, in gritty land you can totally get away with betraying your ideals and murder if you're gritty and cool enough. Punch-Harem is the greatest word since that one really memorable one that everyone likes.

    Jimquisition: Crying Through The Laughs

    One thing I said to a friend about FFIX when Zidane goes emo was something like, "He's been happy the entire game, he's allowed this." Not exactly a great point but I though it a relevant piece of testimony. FFIX had almost everyone go through little happy sad arcs. Steiner was almost the anti...

    Consumerism, self-control, boycotts and the Gamer. A sort of mini-rant.

    By the way, I'm a pc fan and old game player. I think the last games I bought release date or close new were Fable The Lost Chapters and Resident Evil 4 (which were totally worth it from how much I played them) I'm currently going through the PS2 library and not a lot of my money goes into...

    Consumerism, self-control, boycotts and the Gamer. A sort of mini-rant.

    We could just write short emails about why we bought/didn't buy a game. Like, "I didn't buy -blank- because $50 is too expensive for me to afford. I would have bought -blank- for $30." No cursing, no exclamation points. Just a straightforward statement. If we did that for every new game we...

    Consumerism, self-control, boycotts and the Gamer. A sort of mini-rant.

    One idea for preventing buying 'The Same Game part 3' is to start threads on gaming sites with titles like, 'The Same Game part 3 alternatives' where the discussion is to provide the best similar to this game video game that is close enough to it to satisfy the need to play the bad game, but is...

    Homebrewing, and not in the gaming way

    My dad has a book filled with homebrew recipes. I might do it someday, and I would be making my own recipes.

    6 dollars

    I've played Civilization 3 quite a lot, and have a few comments about it. The combat can be unfair at times. I might actually remember a Spearman defeating a tank, but it's not completely broken combat. It just seems kind of random sometimes. Increased difficulty means trying to keep your...

    A solution to the problem of used game sales?...

    I like the idea of competition, because it thrusts what we're doing right now from a speculative debate to my business plan of how to rip through the big game companies like a thin light privateer through a fat spanish galleon that thinks being a big floating fort makes it safe from my lean...

    A solution to the problem of used game sales?...

    Just had a thought. What if The Publishers offered a demo, a server based renting service, and a buying then downloading an end-user copy of the game? It would satisfy so much of this grief. The people who burn through games would be paying the publishers through the renting service, the...

    A solution to the problem of used game sales?...

    Basically this is the debate. Do we the consumers get the power, or do the producers get the power? Us owning a physical or relatively permanent copy of a game that can never be taken away by a publisher is good for us the consumers. The publishers having complete control over whether we...

    Pre-Owned Formula for profit

    I'd like your help, if you care to, to come up with a general idea of what drives pre-owned sales, in a format that will help all of us understand it a bit better. k = e / c - k = Keeping it e = Enjoyment c = Cost If Keeping it is equal to or greater than one it will not be sold...

    Accepting Nerds/Geeks/Dorks that do not look Stereotypical

    The people I'm friends/acquantances with run between fat with glasses to, "I'm going to kill all of you." I'm mostly in the latter category. If you've ever seen Taxi Driver, I resemble Robert Deniro's character, just not in specific looks. I've never run into the level of non acceptance you...
