To me, the Quickenings felt too random, and the game did a terrible job of explaining how you were supposed to use them(despite the simplistic operation). Were you spinning a reel each time? Were you supposed to hit the X button as soon as it lit up? Or were you supposed to wait until it made up its mind, and then ram…

I feel ya there, and then on top of that there’s that newer model on the horizon, so it’s then a question of hoping the original drops further, or just holding and waiting for the new model to be the same price.

Tyson didn’t state “mean” as in “in person”, but that when he was in a fight, he did everything he could to mess with his opponent, working from both his own infamy and his ability to rile up. It was unnerving to other boxers that not only was he moving around and seemingly not taking it seriously, but that he was…

Hey, Dan Turner, if your “happy go lucky” son is somehow a complete wreck over a mere 6-month sentence to the county jail and a sex offender registration, then he’s a fucking wuss and you’re a failure of a father. Your son couldn’t handle his booze, and already didn’t use his fucking brain, so you failed as a father…

It was relevant to the article because Mike originally didn’t note the GBA Pokemon FireRed running on it, which made it look like he was mixing up the GBC and GBA. So as was pointed out, it parallels the basic fact checking that failed that particular newspaper.

I was being facetious the entire time. Since you seem to be unable to comprehend sarcasm, “Cowbot BeBop at His Computer” is a meme/trope. :P

Nono, I’m pretty sure that’s Cowboy Bebop. His best friend is David Lucas.

I’m sure that’s his real name, but everyone knows him as “Cowboy Bebop”.

I’m saying that Bebop’s computer is in the top percentage of computers. It even has emoji!!!

You could put a Wonderswan in it!

It’s an old joke, referencing a grand fail.

Don’t disturb Cowboy Bebop when he’s at his computer.

Gameplay-wise, the inclusion of three-dimensional battlegrounds and the skill system (ex: Swing, Heavy Damage, Magic Resist) added so much to the gameplay.

VI had the best story overall, but FF V was from start to finish extremely tight, and unlike most RPGs gave you both a crapton of freedom and an utter lack of crappy party members. It also made you feel pretty damn awesome once you mastered everything and learned what the Freelancer job did.

This game was amazing, and certainly ahead of its time in how Eno planned for Laura to be a sort of “Virtual Actress”. It was also a great example of how to do an interactive cinematic game.

The companies that I’ve followed that Vivendi bought out, tended to have some of their worst times creatively, unless that was all just coincidence.

Does Vivendi actually do anything besides buy massive companies and suck them creatively dry before shitting them out in the woods and moving onto the next thing?

Basically, we should just have a competency test for using the internet, since too many kids are running around with no fucking control or brains whatsoever. I deal with it a lot as well.

Come to the basement-dweller side of the (RPG) Force! We have pizza, and it hasn’t necessarily been sitting in a box all night!
