Brian I left Japan a few years already but I want to ask if Arcades in Japan are on the decline? Last time I remember they were still huge, I can't imagine this business declining so quickly. Or are they called something other than "arcade" now. Don't tell me "ge-sen" is different.

Really depends on what you do. As a designer your portfolio is most critical and a degree won't help much the first few years.
A degree comes in handy later when you are competing for a higher position. That's when the HR scan your records only, under a microscope.

On the other hand I do somewhat understand why…

Best collection in a long while!

There are meaningless violent movies / cartoons kids love. It's not something you can really avoid nowadays but to hope for the proper education by parents.

I'm pretty sure people don't play Street Fighter to progress a story.

Miyazaki can do whatever the hell he wants. People need to chill about small things. If they haven't noticed Miyazaki is obsessed with realism. Even if he portrays a magical story it needs to be real, and that's why people love Ghibli. If history suggests smokers were everywhere back then, then Miyazaki will portray…

?

People are interested in the Xbox One? wtf?

Viewers in Japan wants to see reactions. Some television just transitions the whole screen to the guests in the studio to see reactions. In japan they say fack it and just give it to you in the corner. It's just a way of showing people the studio is paying attention together with you.

A legend should remain a legend untouched. Sequels are what ruins a good masterpiece (ie: say, Matrix).

It is possible if you're starting from 300 lbs. The first bunch of shaving is the easy part. It gets harder as you lose weight. At 30% body fat you will need to do more than that :)

You don't have to get the point of chopsticks, it's really subjective. When you're skilled with chopsticks it is much easier with some cuisines, but fork / knife / spoons ofcourse are very convenient as well.

What I'm interested is the origins of these from different cultures though..like, Stabbing and Cutting vs…

I can't express how jealous I am with all these great workspaces. Mine is like a prison cell with absolutely no space. But these are motivating me to create a better layout with limited space.

Ever since the 3ds XL, I've had no intentions with playing games on my smaller 3ds. It sucks paying the same amount of money for a game and playing it on a smaller screen. They should just come out with XL's. It's not like the 3ds is going in your pocket anyways.

When I said spec bumps I clearly didn't mean the internals as "last years phone".
They have the laziest design team in the world cloning phones over and over again.
The S4 looks exactly like the S3 and they're ok with that. It's insane.
Those numbers you mentioned are exactly what I'm saying. Samsung fans are paying…

You mean you can't tell apart Samsung clones, I mean phones.

For some (like me) the form factor is a pretty big deal, because I like using something I think looks good and distinctive. Which is the opposite of most Android users that only look at numbers, but again that is their deciding factor as well.

It does matter…

I stopped playing a long time after X and when I found out XI was MMORPG.
I tried XIII later and couldn't last 5 hours.

I guess I'm more of the old school type in RPG, which is why I still love Dragon Quest till this day.

SE seriously needs to release more DQ games.

Attack on Titan needs a Shadow of the Colossus-on-roids treatment. Keep the horse but add all the gear and you've got a winner.

On the PS4!!!!

For those who are questioning accuracy, these things will never give you precise accuracy but only give you an assumption that the sensors counted themselves. Nike tries to blur all that with Fuel Points, making that your main goal.

iOS and Android fans haven't even used WP yet. At least a large portion of the fan base. I have more apps downloaded on my Windows Phone than on my previous iPhone. The app counts you see on other platforms are just duplicates, and to be fair with newer games coming out first but I have all the main apps I need…

Needs more Dragon Quest. That's all. Seriously that's all. There's close to ZERO mobile DQ games and they are rehashing old ones into 3DS.

GIVE ME MORE DRAGON QUEST.

Well I second that...
