I own all of Sony's US-released systems, and to this day, I still hate the DualShock. Primarily, I hate the segmented D-pad. I find it uncomfortable to use for extended periods of time.

Cracking PS3 security != intruding PSN servers.

Actually, more like Sony's. Back when the original PSP was released, there were criticisms regarding its design, with the Square button not functioning very well because of it being so close to the screen. Kutaragi said that this wasn't a defect, but was designed on purpose.

I think lolicon is gross and whatnot... but I don't find it on the same level as actual child pornography. It's just drawings. Ink. Paints. Lines, shapes, etc. There is no actual harm caused by this. Jail time over this is just silly.

OH GOD. KILL IT WITH PSYCHIC.

Wow... they unstarred you over this comment? That's, uh... quite lame. :|

I don't think I've even played one of their demos...

Weird, I got one, but I don't think I ever created an EA/BioWare account...

It's the secret sauce!

Everyone has different tastes. We all look for different things in enjoyment of video games. One game will appeal to one person, but not necessarily another. If anyone tells you you're wrong for disliking a game, then they're just a biased fanboy.

Netflix for 3DS was announced, so it'll probably come within the next update or two. Maybe it'll just be an app to download from eShop (like Netflix for Wii).

You're right, that they should show more support for their other great games. However, it is pretty impressive to see them support TF2 for as long as they have (Game was released October 2007, so almost four years now).

All I'll say is this: I love Next Media Animation's work.

In a few, isolated cases, Nintendo has had an achievement-like system in a few games, but they served some purpose other than increasing a meaningless score or tally. They unlocked extra content within the games themselves (Smash Bros. and Metroid Prime 3, for example). If Wii U lacks a unified achievement system…

Tanooki (or rather, tanuki) isn't actually a raccoon at all. It's a raccoon dog, which has more in common with canines (foxes, wolves, dogs) than raccoons. There is also the mythical tanuki creature, which is just like the actual raccoon dog, but with illusion-based powers (i.e. turning into a statue, or creating…

That Lupin cossplayer made me hear Pioneer's English dub of Zenigata say "Damn you, Lupin!" That's a good thing.

There are already several devices that work with multiple connection types. For example, the Motorola Droid 2 Global works with both CDMA and GSM.

When they put together that Metal Gear Essentials collection a while back, it had 1, 2, and 3... and it was the Subsistence version of 3, but it lacked the extra disc, so no MSX games.
