The K makes me think 15 Kelvin degrees. Which... is wrong. So wrong.

Numbers and shamelessness.

Well, if you want to get right down to it, raising children to exist inside a structured culture is also a form of indoctrination.

And a few hours ago I was suggesting someone check it out because they had mentioned an interest in augmented reality...

If you like Monkey Island, you should enjoy Grim Fandango and Manic Mansion/Day of the Tentacle. You'll have to put on your Retro Goggles for the latter, though.

Curry flavor ramune was a singular experience, I'll say.

I suppose I must have bailed before it got to that, then.

Wasn't the ENTIRE GAME basically supposed to be Chopin's dying hallucinations?

I think there's some confusion over this point. I don't think she really said she doesn't like playing games, it's that it's hard for her to do now— she doesn't have time and the combat aspects were never her favorite part, hence the suggestion that you might have a way to go through the game in "combat lite" mode.

Well, certainly not the news one hopes for in terms of release date, but it's good to know they're committed to a thorough, high-quality product.

Apple pie for Valentine's Day means peach cobbler for White Day.

I have to apologize, though, for un-formatted wall-of-text, there. It's not my fault, though— for some reason the gawker-tech decided to unformat my post when I tried to make some minor edits.

Odd, I picked this up from Amazon on a lark just a few months ago for... well, it was free with the two other games I bought. As I understand it, though, it was selling for MSRP.

Truthfully, this *is* the one aspect that China and Korea have us bettered in. They have plenty of experience in this kind of model, and it seems to work— though a closer examination may well reveal all the issues you've outlined.
