For a moment there I thought the chart on the right was what you went through in LovePlus, and I thought that looked like an awesome way to do a dating simulator.

@SlashZaku: Like it or not, it's necessary. Capcom learned with Street Fighter 3 that putting an all new cast of characters into a familiarly named series will make people go "whut?" Characters are as much a part of the marketing as anything, and so you need to make sure that some of your roster is recognizable to as…

@zombie711: Where's all the hate for Other M? I haven't seen any. So far all I've seen is that the game itself is pretty awesome, but the story is lame.

@KeitaKoneko: Genre-clashing for the DS... Hmmm. Well, how about some puzzle-genre-clashing? "Henry Hatsworth" is fun, as is "Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes". Hatsworth mixes Pokemon Puzzle League/Panel De Pon gameplay with platforming stuff, while Might & Magic designs a puzzle-y combat system that's sort of its own…

The first game I remember playing, where I actually know what game it is, is Kung Fu for the NES. It convinced me to bug my mom for an NES for my birthday, and it's therefore pretty much the reason why I'm a videogamer.

Wait, it's out already? Dammit, I've got five other games I was gonna play before it and Super Mario Galaxy 2!

@Fernando Jorge: If you've got a CRT TV, it should be fine as long as it's got 100hz capabilities, I think. Best to check it out, though. If you've got an LCD or plasma TV, you should also be fine... They work with whatever you stick into them, in my experience.

I like it when he fries that bird.

@JKLoogie: That's why there's a chance they'll release it. You see, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition expansion pack.

PROTIP: Avoid getting Job on your team of heroes.

@GunFlame: The Second Coming: Moses is a Noah counterpick, too. That "Flood Everything" special skill is turned useless if you've got a sea-splitter in your midst.

@Salen: With the shovelling of the poop of every single animal ever that's going to follow, you'll also want some points added to the Mining skill.

@Coolux: Yeeeah, that was the Jesus revision, and even he wasn't above knocking over a few tables. Old Testament God was all about the murdering of whoever was in the way of the chosen people. Or whoever he wanted to test the faith of, like Job.

@kflott: Well, yeah, but what about when you put it into your entertainment center, or on the floor, or whatever? Then all that stuff's upside down!

@MatthewMk2: There's a difference between people who hate Anime and people who hate Shonen Anime or the harem Anime or Pokemon-type buy-our-shit Anime. Much like you shouldn't be comparing Pixar's stuff to South Park (and mind you, I like South Park too) or Adventure Time to GI Joe, you really ought to give some…

That man's got a thing for angry people and teef. As cool as the designs are, mind you, they don't look like they're there to be used... The way the NES is set up blocks all those ports in the back, unless you hang it up on a wall or something, and I would fear damaging the art by inserting and taking out carts on the…

@thaKingRocka: Clearly Toad is asking you to press Start looser. Mashing that thin rubbery button is gonna cause either you or the pad some injury, boy.

@senselocke: Yeah, the price point is a big part of it too. Depending where you get the CD, you can often order a physical copy from the UK or something for about half the price of the Norwegian release. With games, it's harder to do this, since importing them into the country from non-Scandinavian online stores can…

@senselocke: In Norway, digital downloads and online CD purchases killed the dedicated music stores. The last of the larger chains, Free Record Shop, was converted into Gamestop stores a few years ago.

@CubeRat: Yes. I knew they were going to be rescued somehow, but just the way they reacted to that, accepting that they were going to die, and wordlessly signalling their belonging together as a family... That was another one of those "Jesus Christ did you put this into a KID'S MOVIE" Pixar moments.
