During the primaries to determine the candidate for the non-incumbent presidential candidate, I have found that the media tends to favor this candidate a little more just because they are involved in more election-related news. This is especially true if the incumbent does not have an overwhelming approval rating. The…

So around 6ish EST? I'll see if I can wrap up this damn assembly-language program (I hate working in crap I'll never use!)

What can I say? Fridays are my day of the week to relax a little early in the day before getting cracking on all those damn programs I have to write. Speaking of which... I best get on those!

Suggs was awesome. So was Kluwe when he tore into Skip:

I think the hate for Tebow is a little simpler: he is to sports news now what Brett Favre was to sports news during Favre's last few years flirting with retirement. That is, too much coverage on a person who has not done anything new since the last news story on him. Favre had a generally favorable view during his NFL…

Me too, though if I take a step back I do think FFVI was the better game. FFIV just holds a special place in my heart.

Of the adjectives used to describe FFXIII, bland was the closest to how I described after finishing the Japanese import. I actually described it by saying how I felt after playing it, which was "empty." Usually after I complete a game I feel something: excited, anxious, sad, or satisfied to name a few feelings. But…

Don't forget ye olde beehive. There's nothing like a weapon that does the work for you!

Well, I usually clean around the house when I am sick. It usually makes me feel better, so maybe that is why I am able to concentrate on it. While writing that it just occurred to me that I might be suggesting getting sick in order to clean! Don't do that! Instead I would suggest just concentrating on the reason for…

That has been my main complaint with SE over the last decade. They need to bring in or groom new storytellers and game designers for their games. I kind of look at SE like I do a sports team that has not made it to the playoffs in awhile. In most cases the franchise is not a lost cause (and neither is SE) because they…

That is my complaint with most reviews of high profile games that get a 6/10 or lower. I think the scales are screwed up, or maybe the reviewers have never actually played a 1/5 (or for the lowest review in the article, 60/100). For a game to get such a low score, it cannot just be a disappointment. It has to be a…

What happened was a mass exodus of the key talent behind those games you mentioned (Sakaguchi and Takahashi are two big ones off the top of my head). Not all are gone, but SE has not convinced me they have groomed or brought in top-level talent to replace what they have lost. Thankfully for old stalwarts Yuji Horii is…

I don't know about that. At least you can enjoy yourself with a hot chick who is terrible in the sack.

Me too :D

The sad but true story right there. I just mean I wish I could get the money to the people who gave me the enjoyment, rather than the gaming equivalent of ticket scalpers. As for the... shall we say less than average quality older games where no new sales are possible, I still see the value in the ROM piracy. Better…

I would say price is one of the main factors. There was no way I was going to shell out $200 (at the time I was looking) for Suikoden II to unwrap it and play it. It was more cost effective to just buy a cheap Japanese copy and play the English ROM. Heck, even new titles with a limited print could be looked at the…

It's amazing how far editing has come since 1990. In terms of editing alone, I think that Lucky Star - Death Note cross over was the best I have ever scene.

I do love me some AMVs (most of the stuff in the AMV Hells), but I think I actually prefer the ones that use dubs from TV shows/commercials over the "pure" AMVs that just use a music track. Like this one or the One Piece / Scary movie cross over: [www.youtube.com]

Finish Golden Sun. One of the top ways to ruin an RPG gaming experience is lengthy periods of time between play sessions (you could end up forgetting the story, the characters, what you were supposed to be doing etc.) Best just to marathon through it before you move on to the other games.

Just do this (but apply it to jury duty instead of work):
