Well that just makes me sad because it was a vegan group that initiated the change. If they're going to include beef flavoring, can't we just go back to beef fat altogether?

Brandi, you seem like most vegans I know in RL, which is to say a rational and thoughtful person and not an internet horde. If you made the conscious choice that this diet works best for you on a nutritional and ethical level, I think that's great. I wish more people were as thoughtful about what they stick in their…

I'm totally going to make an effort to use the phrase "penny-wise and pound stupid" today.

That does clarify things, thanks for responding. I originally misread that you were bashing or excluding these girls because of the nature of their interest. While they may not be gamers, they still play games (I'd even argue that these same girls probably play a hell of a lot of games on their phones, but would…

Ah the usual battle cry of the vegans: instead of using this natural animal product, I demand that you use a synthetic chemical that's harmful to the environment, abrasive to the digestive system, and, of course, processed in such a manner than animals are killed anyway. You keep at it, guys!

A brief history of me:

Oh. My. Retinas. Is that netting I spy? And the fur. And the cheap goalie mask. And the fucking arm zippers on his cape! I love it too much for words!!

What about Kevin Smith's Batsuit-wetting, stoned spousal abuser who dressed like a pimp? Really, putting on that suit might be the most psychotic thing he did in that book...

You mean a FUCKING MEDICAL procedure. Because before the conservatives decided to get their hate-spoodge all over this, that's what it was.

Don't build on top, build into.

Don't forget The Sims. The premier video game that allows you to come home from work and relax by pretending to go to work and do virtual house chores. It's just like living your life, but not!

Ohh iO9's so nice, they give us two 8s without even having to ask. Ninja Assasin, I so need to watch you. More movies should cater to my love of Asian dramas and over-the-top action please!

Two thoughts:

History Channel, you're breaking my heart!

Good to know! Especially that they're longer games, I will add them to the list for "after school gets out in June because I really don't want to fuck up my master's by spending my last semester gaming." I can't tell you how happy I am that Gravity Rush doesn't launch until June here, it gives me an excuse to hold…

This comment is so perfect, I have nothing to add but I have moneys too! Take and give game now!

For a long time I've been meaning to try Persona or Shin Megami Tensei. Is it necessary to play all the games in the series to understand what's going on or can I start with Persona 3 and go from there as I choose?

I'm not much for shooters, and only play the odd-fighter game. I do however have a deep love of platformers, adventure games, and RPGS (hi my name is Jess, and I'm a Final Fantasy fan). But one of the series I've followed from console to console to handheld is Zelda. And that's an incredibly simple game that in…

(Disclaimer: I watched it with the sound off, damn me for forgetting my ear buds at home!).

This weekend the Boston Symphony Orchestra is holding a performance of music from the Final Fantasy games: [www.bso.org]
