I can't remember the last time I bought a used title, or when I sold one of my games, and I'm a big supporter of digital content options, as long as they're from well-established providers, so I'm not too worried.

I still can't figure out if the whole "we feel like we wasted $60 on your game due to the ending, so we're going to spend more money on you to try and get you to fix it". Depending on the motives of each person, it's either a completely moronic way to manage your money, or an honest gesture from someone who cares. …

There's a learning experience about dealing with sunk costs in here somewhere. I just know it.

Whew. That's a relief.

Yikes....

Yeah, the super smiley faces in most video game ads are a stark contrast to the typical dead-pan faces of reality. There's also people who, oddly, don't realize that you can be enjoying something without having a constant smile splayed across your face.

I had a lot of fun with him. His attack strings were a lot of fun to chain together, and his shots give him nice weakness exploit options. Some of them, like the anti-bird one, were so slow to fire off though, never found that one very useful. After he was getting destroyed in the initial Mt. Zavhert area, I subbed…

Yeah, I just finished the lab there. Ended the night in Zavhert, about to head to the Ministry of Science place.

Ah, then I'm guessing I'm a little over half way. Good to know, thanks!

Spent pretty much the entire day yesterday plugging away at Tales of Graces f. Can't get enough of that game :)

Every once and awhile my childhood amazement with space creeps back into my life in a most welcome way. This is definitely one of those times.

Truly a sign of the times. Unfortunate cat-man.

The question isn't why that guy is petting the cat, but rather why the rest aren't petting the cat.

Hehehe. I just finished the Rockgagong section last time I played, which had me laughing way more than it probably should have.

I think it helps a lot in games like RDR when they have progression for doing those tasks. As someone who also spent a lot of time riding around searching for animals to take out and skin in that game, I know for me the underlying drive, and what determined what I was trying to skin, was the little challenges you…

Those FF9 type moments are fantastic in games. Tales games do this a ton with their little side-skits that pop up everywhere. Some of them are blah and overly melodromatic, but a great deal of them are for comic relief. Also the little skits that play when you win a non-boss battle. They help to draw a fantastic…

This. Being bored is definitely something you are actively aware of, and when it hits that point, it's an issue not something to be cherished. I realize Jason didn't mean this. I think it was the wrong choice of word to illustrate the sensation he's referring to.

Creepymodo.

Yeah, I think that was their main issue with it. Child's Play was really second fiddle to their primary cause. Regardless of the organizers' actual intent, to outsiders that can easily be taken as them trying to draw people to their cause due to the goodwill nature of charity support. When said outsiders start…

Sounds good. I picked up the PSP version this evening. Bout to fire it up for the first time right now, actually ;D
