Fox, this is why we can't have nice things. I wish I could say I was even remotely surprised by these tactics, but honestly, this is depressingly typical on their part.

Somebody needs to discover us some Element Zero, stat. Joking aside, this is incredible. And really, 20 years to the nearest habitable planet discovered? That ain't so bad! We could be seeing the inhabitants of our little blue world walking on the surface of Gliese 581d within our lifetimes...

It's funny that a lot of people are reading this as satire, because it's really, really not. That's the way the industry is. Then again, some of the most absurd satires (Waugh's The Loved One comes to mind) aren't so far from reality. So our reality is just that absurd. Everyone is to...

I think Western commentators tend to overstate the occurrence of rape and distasteful sexual content in mainstream anime. It's easy to go "Man, Japan is weird, it's got all that tentacle porn and stuff" just based on a few outstandingly noxious examples, but in reality the majority of anime...

Using the publisher (not the actual developer) of the game to judge it based on your problem with the JRPG "genre" isn't particularly fair to the game. This sounds a bit reactionary and more than a bit skewed in terms of judgment.

My agreement with the rules remains sort of tenuous. On one hand, I like that this will clean up forum discourse and make people behave a bit more politely in general... on the other hand, the strikes are a system that could backfire. Too unforgiving, though at least well-defined. I guess...

And this way, we'll be able to tell when they give us their final "so long and thanks for all the fish". Kidding aside, it's wonderful that humans are working out ways to communicate on the same level with intelligent non-human organisms! Hopefully, it'll give us a little more perspective on...

I seem to be in the Rarity-fan minority. But really, I am also very fond of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. deal with it

They totally made this a game. It was called Final Fantasy XII.

Devil May Cry and No More Heroes had a baby, and they let Catherine and Grim Fandango bring it up. I like. I like a lot.

Score! Ah, so much nostalgia for this game...

Dibs on the repressed homosexuality and folding chair as a weapon. If worst comes to worst, I mean.

Piece of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha fanart. Peaceful and watercolor, the way I like it...

X or VII. I started on them, and they sure got me hooked to the series! They're also more accessible than VI, imo, but that depends on your taste as a gamer.

I don't like Left 4 Dead. Zombies? Boring and overdone. Multiplayer? I'd rather not. First person? I'm not into nausea. Multiplayer, zombies, first-person, and no real narrative? Fuck that shit.
