Is it wrong that I think along the same lines as both of these men? Anime could be so much more diverse (and in some ways it is) without nonsensical, yet lucrative, adherence to tropes and watering down of good subject matter. The reason that Miyazaki is so beloved is because it neatly sidesteps this kind of atavism…

Are you serious? That's not what 99.9% of PVP is like at all and they are so PAINFULLY EASY TO DODGE. Get better internet. That's all I can say. The PvP in Dark Souls 2 is a TON more balanced and has way more viability to different builds. I barely use magic and I clean up with a light build character, arrows and a…

Tsutomu Nihei has a bear fetish.

You made an account just to post this trash? Everyone in the fighting game community always gets their panties in a snit to tier characters when what they really want to know is how to put in the least effort to play a character that has been the most thoroughly explored. Of course it's not always the case, but you…

I almost expected to hear the sonic drowning music. I can't help but remember it for all of the panic attacks it gave 10 year old me.

Impromptu everything, from maliciously delightful moderating tools that turn people into goats/chickens, to a round or two of spontaneous chaos, whether it be music or an interesting image someone is spraying. With a full server of old friends, it's all chaos all the time.

You don't know, but this isn't exactly rare in CS of any version.

Yes, it's a thing called art. When you draw a character or decide on a 'style' in which to represent the world, you choose symbols to represent the character. You see, art is about symbols. When you draw a nose, you aren't drawing a 'real' nose, you are drawing a symbol that means 'nose'. Good art cohesion is about…

You know what? I grew up with people like you complaining about the lack of noses on FFT characters — stow it. If you want a particular art style, I encourage you to draw it yourself.

It's bothersome.

Definitely in how the ships move throughout the world. The look of someone hitting the burners to accelerate, though, is so much more impactful than it ever looked in Wing Commander. Fucking sexy, though.

Yeah, so only the Japanese can create weird contractions to mean something? Lame.

I call it the NES or Famicom, because I am fucking nerd. I won't correct someone for calling it a 'Nintendo' instead of wasting the breathe to say 'Nintendo Entertainment System'.

I can't even believe I wasted the time to type THIS, ffs.

This is right down the road from me. I'll have to check it out.

I liked Wing Commander, but I loved the more complex management systems in X-Wing and Tie Fighter.

Mass Driver cannons or Lasersssssss

From a few, actually, but the new universe had to be re-written. If you go to your library, you can probably find some of the novels. They aren't bad.

Edited: I guess I meant Jack McKinney for the books and McKinney for the art.

I actually enjoy Robotech AND Macross, though.

This is easily my favorite Dark Souls related gif. I just wish I knew which fight it was from.

You don't understand it because it's not a point. I just prefer that reading of his character. This article obviously approaches it from an angle I never considered because of my inherent bias. I wasn't making a point, which is why the person I replied to didn't respond and I didn't mind.

You, obviously need one. So,…

That's me...when playing with others. I have a long history of handicapping myself and playing to the skill level of others is just proper etiquette. It's not fun to dominate a match. Then again, I haven't been the most competitive person in the world...ever.

No no no. This is all wrong. If they start falling too hard, someone will have to throw money at them. Please, God, don't let it be Microsoft. If Microsoft buys control of Crytek, I am going to Cry.

I guess that's why one of the most popular texture/resource packs for Minecraft is the LB Photorealism pack, eh?

That doesn't reach any conclusions, it just raises more questions. Did you actually read it? It basically says "women performed better than we expect, but we don't know why they don't bother and there are other effects that may be in play to affect their duration and overall participation in the hobby".
