I don't think Japanese permit the consumption of child porn in public, either.

I suppose "manifold" or "surface" are better words. I want to refer to the object of study, not the study itself.

I assume a linear mapping because RPG maps have a Cartesian (i.e. rectangular, or linear) coordinate system. Introducing a nonlinear curve changes this coordinate system, so it doesn't yield the proper topology.

Allow me to correct you with a simple example: Projecting an RPG map onto a 3D sphere breaks the map's rules. By your admission, let the entire edge be a single pole. Now imagine that you are standing at this pole. By walking 1 metre in any direction, you should be able to appear 1 metre from any edge. In an RPG,…

Sure, allow me to correct you: Projecting an RPG map onto a 3D sphere breaks the map's rules. By your admission, let the entire edge be a single pole. Now imagine that you are standing at this pole. By walking 5 metres in any direction, you should be able to appear 5 metres from any edge. In an RPG, this is not…

And just how many people out there who only buy consoles do you think will know HOW to do that? And I don't mean out of all the gamers out there who are super die hard fans. I'm talking the average user.

Until you consider that the throne is an actual prop that the production team needed to build. Making a 1000-sword throne that doesn't look cheap would have been a nightmare, I'd imagine.

People should find something else to do in the intervening time. The game isn't going to spoil. Dedicate the three-day weekend to another hobby or game.

You probably mean FFX Shiva.

The cool thing about video games is that it doesn't have to mimic real life. I, personally, play video games to escape reality, which sucks most of the time.

My parents did that until I was in my early teens! They'd also put soap in my mouth if they didn't like what I said to them.

It's not like Yoshida-san was spending the previous night partying. He is probably overworked.

Identifying which games are overrated only shows that reviews are sometimes wrong. What Kamiya-san is saying is that scores are pointless. For example, I think that FFXII is actually worthy of its high score. Our disagreement reveals the issue, namely that scores given by journalists are not descriptive of how…

The first thing that crossed my mind upon reading this article's title.

Well, if USA lied about the moon landing and 911, then China could easily lie about sidewalk drawings.

Why do they bother putting this kind of stuff in games? Unless it serves as some critical plot element, sex adds nothing to the story nor gameplay. Just because it's sex doesn't mean it is exempt from the guidelines of good writing, nor does it make the game appeal to "mature, refined tastes". I blame Hollywood for…

When it comes to JRPGs, think of the distance between save points as "levels" of the games of old. You are challenged to make it from one save point to the next intact. If you can save anywhere, then this challenge disappears.

As a child, I would have dreams of doing this. Didn't know it was actually a "thing." Now my dream doesn't feel so novel.

Your version probably best captures the Japanese dialogue. So I guess the modern English equivalent is something like "Come at me, bro!"
