@ChocoRune: What are you talking about? If your internet connection doesn't work, you'll have the save files on your HDD, period. It's not one or the other, it's both: a local copy + a cloud-based copy.

@arionfrost: Cool, I'll add you. Not sure I have any coop games on Steam, though. :/

@cosmopanda: I like your work and I will take one copy of your dictionary, please.

@arionfrost: Yeah, we definitely have similar tastes, right down to your opinion of JRPGs. I used to love them during the PS1 and PS2 days - too bad they haven't moved on.

Good news - anything that can bring down the price without crippling the device is good news. Wi-fi's all I need.

@ILaen'Cythe: YES, IT—

@arionfrost: I got into Green Lantern around the time Blackest Night started. Seeing how it was everywhere, I thought I might as well try to understand what it was all about... and I ended up buying every GL and GLC trade since Rebirth and Recharge - the Geoff Johns era, if you will.

@gklazydog: If you're "cranking up speeds", I assume you have CFW. Does this mean you load ISOs instead of UMDs, by any chance? 8 hours wouldn't be a stretch without an optical drive drawing a lot of power. If you get 8 hours with the UMD drive spinning throughout, then yes, you're lucky! :)

@a.seivewright: Nah, I bet the GBP price won't be any higher than the USD price: the only difference will be that little sign in the front, £ instead of $, but it's just a squiggle. If it meant anything, we would've known by now.

@SaintMadeOfPlaster: Yes, my spider sense is tingling, too. "People will say it makes sense" doesn't sound like, "People will be happily surprised." At all.

GameStop, I see your $999 and I raise you WAN MIRRION TWOOPS!

@ILaen'Cythe: BUT IT COMES WITH A FREE POUCH!

@arionfrost: Yup, I'm Italian, but I live in France. As for comics, well... when I was a kid, I used to read whatever I could get my hands on, which wasn't much in my neck of the woods. It was mostly graphic novels and collected mini-series - stuff like Spider-Man: Spirits of the Earth, The Dark Knight Returns or…

@arionfrost: Yup, the Trenta, a 30-ounce cup.

@TimeNeverRests (PS1): Oh, man, don't remind me... It was almost a year between the Japanese and Euro releases (and... what, 6 months between US and EU?).

@arionfrost: Introducing: the Settanta, 70 oz. of raw fuel for your life! Only from Starbucks.

Thanks a lot, Bash! Whoever said that blogging wasn't physically demanding? You look absolutely slammed, but rest peacefully in the knowledge that your heroic sacrifice to the Cause hasn't gone unappreciated. :D

@TalKeaton: Every Puzzle Has an Answer!: Undercutting the 3DS seems unlikely. With those specs, I don't see how they can sell it for less than 250, unless Sony are willing to take a major hit on the hardware.

@StrategyMonk: And at Gamescom in Cologne, they'll announce that it's coming to Europe in June 2012. :/

@TimeNeverRests (PS1): That would certainly be better than giving Nintendo an entire Christmas season all alone on the handheld front. The question is whether Sony can manufacture enough consoles and whether they can have a half-decent line-up by then.
