I just wanted to thank everyone for their feedback. This game definitely sounds like something I would enjoy, enough for me to find it and buy it last night from Amazon.

Thanks again!

Just out of curiosity. What is the deal with Ni No Kuni? I ask this not as a troll, but as someone who has a long love of games like Persona/Suikoden. I never really got into the Final Fantasy craze, although I do appreciate how they transformed western gaming tropes. It's just that every time I think I might drop…

Screaming "fire" in a movie theatre is not illegal. This is a common misconception that stems from the Schenck v US decision from 1919. It was overturned in 1969 by Brandenburg v Ohio, and upheld by SCOTUS that says, "the principle that the constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a…

Because the kid isn't a serious flight risk, I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding a bondsman who would do it for the standard 10 percent. So, it'd only be 50 grand. Unless his bail was really set at 5M, in which case, yeah...

This wouldn't be a kickstarter, I think, so much as one of the other fundraising sites.

I just spent two minutes trying to come up with what that acronym spelled, only to realize it didn't spell anything. ASAIACEDP...

well played sir. well played.

Aaaand, apparently, this was sleight of hand. He said, "...and to kick off that program, I'd like to share just two of the titles we're going to offer over the next two months..." which is a very very poor word choice because of how misleading it is. Because apparently, even you got snookered over it.

And in other news, Xbox Live Gold subscribers got some crap ass TD game instead of Assassins Creed 2! Yay for misdirection! Seriously...wtf?

Maybe it's just me, but the editing of the video combined with the fisheye lens just aggravated me. I understand the fisheye for the depth of field/angle of vision, et.al., but it still distracted me from enjoying the video. And the cut aways were also distracting. It reminded me of the old skate vcr tapes we used…

I have two toddler aged daughters, so now that Amazon Prime has an exclusive deal with Nickelodeon Jr. for Bubble Guppies, Dora, et. al., That's where we go for her movies/shows during her two hours/day of mass media input.

Also, as a parent, the Amazon Mom deals for diapers/wipes beat every brick and mortar store…

*Flips open a copy of Tale of Two Cities* Hmm...grammar seems to be the same as it is now. Subject verb object. Same declensions, similar prepositions, adjectives before nouns...

How far back should we be going?

They rebranded the Mirror's Edge + DLC as a Have Faith bundle for $4.99.

My HTPC computer has a blu-ray optical drive. It might as well be a coaster for as much as I use it. There are always going to be people who like physical media. As the father of two toddlers, I detest it. I think it's prone to damage, which renders it useless, and loss, which again, renders it useless. All of my…

And this is the direction that Microsoft was trying to go. Completely digital. No physical media. I have a library of about forty five games on Steam that I have absolutely no physical media of. That I can't lend to a friend. That I can't sell used. That, okay, perhaps, I don't actually "own". Or if I do, it's…

Games. No physical media. Complete Digital Distribution. Online requirement. No sharing. No used games.

Sound familiar yet?

Let me guess. You don't have a Steam account, do you? Because y'know...if you do, and you're using this bullshit argument, well...I hate to break it to you, You've already bought into what Microsoft was trying to do.

You realize that the entire reason Steam was developing that feature was to compete with the Xbox One's sharing feature. Now that the Xbox One doesn't have that, Steam will probably shelve their sharing feature, or at the very least, put it on the back burner.

There are times when competition makes for better product.…

I have mine sitting right next to my tv. Of late, however, the only use it gets is watching Dora via Amazon Prime, now that my daughter has discovered how to turn it on.

do yourself a huge favor though and choose one medium first. Books or tv show. Trying to hop back and forth between the two will have inconsistency spoiler goo coming out of your eyeballs. What I mean to say is that the show takes a lot of artistic license with the books (as they should and almost have to with the…

You mean I have an albino leprechaun sitting by my tv?

j/k, but I actually do still have my launch ps3, and it plays most PS2 games.

Parallelogram, my friend. All Rhombi are parallelograms, not all parallelograms are rhombuses.

Although if you painted it yellow, and added some wheels, you might call it a ROM bus...

Sorry. I'll leave now.
