To be fair, Xenosaga's script is well-researched. Its plot borrows from a lot of Western intellectual material, most notably the works of Friedrich Nietzsche. It also pays homage to many intellectual sci-fi concepts: a many-dimensional universe, humans as creators of new life, etc. In good, old, hard-science…

As others have mentioned, Namco owns it.

I can see why their are so few actors. I read an article several months ago about a day in the life of a JAV director. According to the article, the actress is kept comfortable before the shoot, does the shoot, then calls it a day. On the other hand, the actor shows up right before the shoot, does his business,…

Looks like they took a page out of Epic Meal Time.

Agreed. As a PS3 owner, I really wanted to play Lost Odyssey, but I was too poor to buy an XBox 360 for it.

Watching this video, I get an eerie sense of fulfillment. Like everything is going to be all right.

Actually, I can attest to this. As a child, I was beat by my father for disobedience, and now I have difficulty showing vulnerability and forming close relationships with people. I don't know if the two are related, but one thing for sure is that I never really had a strong male role model growing up.

AKB48 appears in a lot of ads—a ridiculous number of them. Like this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, uh, this, and more. Perhaps, you can understand why some folks in Japan rolled their eyes after seeing AKB48 popping up in a Super Smash Bros. commercial and had a knee-jerk reaction.

To be fair, the Persona franchise didn't pick up speed until after Persona 3 was released, and Persona 4 was released for the PS2 during the PS2's twilight years — a full two years after the PS3 was released — so it couldn't capture the market of the time. Persona 5 will be the first major installment on a current-gen…

All that swearing at the monitor really gives your lungs a workout.

This is really difficult to listen to.

Resident Evil as a horror franchise is pretty dead. Originally, its horror came from placing you in an unfamiliar setting filled with nasty, unfamiliar creatures. Now, however, its characters and lore are well established. You can't churn out six direct sequels over 18 years without building the plot, after all.…

I never realised how big her nose was until I saw that picture.

How can they possibly recapture the sheer terror of Resident Evil without the original PS1 voice acting? That the most terrifying part of the original.

I had to look Golden Bomber up. Apparently, they are labeled an "air" rock band. Doesn't that just mean they're musicians without all that pesky "music" business?

Economists theorize that raising sales tax and increasing inflation actually promotes spending, since people feel compelled to spend their savings before prices get any higher (essentially "get while the getting's good"). By and large, they're probably right. What they don't mention is that, for graduate students…

The blue shell is communism. It takes from the hardworking folk and gives to the layabouts.

She could dance all day! She could dance all day!

Oh yeah, salad dressings for sure come to think of it. The only home-made dressings I've ever made are vinegar-based, so mayo didn't come to mind.

Fries... so, like ketchup, then?
