While I agree this is unfair, I think a lot of EU vendors broke street date on X/Y and thus the "they got it a week earlier" comment. Nintendo was VERY unhappy with how the EU handled X/Y's release, so I suppose that put them on the short list for distribution.

For your brutal honesty—in regards to both orgasms and marriage—I commend you. I always ALWAYS want to get my ladies off first, but sometimes that path is fraught with nary an end in sight and it can become awfully discouraging and distracting when your penis tells you it's going to bail if it doesn't see some action…

Oh, Madeleine! You're just an old soul!

Wait, is that even a compliment?

I'm convinced that it is since everyone told me that when I was younger.

Haha, everyone I play with on the Technical Alpha kept saying, "It's such a nice atmosphere in here" in regards to other players and I always have to remind them, "That's because there isn't anyone in here yet. Just wait until Open Beta. It'll be as bad as any other MOBA unfortunately."

Lots of things I could have commented on in this thread where you make some points, but still not too much substance. I did want to point out this one, though, since it overlaps with my video game/CCG knowledge.

Actually, X and Y does tackle the notion of pokemon used in wars. Those rocks by Geosenge Town? Those aren't natural formations—they're headstones. A lot of players speculate that the next set of games after the remakes might keep us in the greater Kalos region that might explore more of this war in the past.

So very true. I do the same, but I also use the cases for my handheld games as display pieces and those steel books just scream display. Like I said, I love the Charizards, but they seem a bit too big to put out on display on a bookshelf with already limited space. The steel book just fits my needs much more…

Haha, we should swap! I love the Charizard plush, but I was actually super jealous of the UK bonus when they revealed it.

Really?! Off to my local TRU today! I'll report back of Reddit's truth in my store location.

Hate to be the one that bears the news of better dual Pokemon version purchase bonuses, but how many times am I going to be able to trump ya, Fahey?

I, too, approve this use of art history. You have an excellent handel on it.

I would totally wear this to the bank and back. That headpiece is JUST... SO... METAL.

I suppose there are a lot of aural cognates between vocaloids and the electronica genre (of which I am also not a fond purveyor), so it's not too hard to imagine someone actually enjoying the inhuman sounds the vocaloids are capable of producing. Now I'm curious whether she is and exception or the norm.

As I'm a bit removed from the entire Miku phenomenon, I'd like to defer to your experience, but I'm still skeptical about this point. YouTube has very much the same kind of appeal and VidCon brings in a great upswell of energy and enthusiasm, but not the kind of fervor that Miku tends to bring.

Now THAT is a curious causal hypothesis. With an entire generation grown who have spent almost an equal amount of their peer-to-peer time online or in some form of text format, it is plausible to imagine that there is an underdeveloped sense of vocal nuance among them.

Let's face it; it's ALWAYS been porn parody. We were all just too prudish to admit it until now.

Ironically, this ends up being a dig against every other digital rights system OTHER than Nintendo. Where you would have to re-install any games onto new hardware elsewhere, Nintendo's transfer system allows you to port the entire SD card wholesale.

Unless it's having sex to help humankind's chances for survival against the eventual uprise and conflict with the future warbots of 2032, then yes. You are wasting time.

I will give you that the joke was a miss, but not because it's mostly because the vast majority of people don't know what Mode 7 is. The required knowledge bar was too high.

Except there is a whole thread in these comments section talking about global airships in JRPGS. And another that talks about Starfox, both of which used Mode 7.
