It’s honestly hard to decide if that, the gas station hot dogs review, or the PS4 Valentine adventure is my favorite Kotaku article ever.

As Kotaku’s “connoisseur of Japanese smut games” Mike Fahey once put it, “characters fall into the uncomfortably young category, but rest assured they are whatever age they need to be to ensure publisher NIS America doesn’t get arrested.”

One tiny little correction I’d like to make. Squall has his little emotional leap some time before Rinoa is going to be frozen. It actually happens when she’s in a coma, after the Garden vs Garden battle and they defeat Edea. I distinctly remember because that’s what drives him to find a way to save her, which…

Say what you will, but on the Alliance side I got to lead the Inquisition and root out heretics with fire and steel, so...

This. Everything about that was terrible. Plot armor pushed beyond the max for your little Horde group. The worgen let by Genn inexplicably are unable to catch you, Jaina doesn’t just teleport ahead of you for some reason until the end, they have no gryphon riders going after you, and instead of taking, I don’t know,…

If it helps you managed to outlast me. I thought the movement was so terrible I quit the game before I even got to combat. I didn’t even get past the hallway just outside of the cell you start in.

I’m not certain I would exactly classify it as a supervillain, or even a villain, and whether or not it is “powerful” is debatable, but the first thing that comes to mind is Azathoth from H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos. It’s an ultimate god thing that sleeps at the center of all realities, and everything that has…

I wish I’d settled on a major more quickly. People told me I had plenty of time to figure that out. Then it turns out there are two super hard classes that practically everyone fails the first time, one of which is a prerequisite for the other, and things get rough. They actually got rid of the professor who taught…

If I recall correctly, Thrall was around to pass on the Doomhammer to the Shaman PC during the Artifact quests, and is now somewhere wallowing in self-loathing and doubt about, you know, the whole “putting Garrosh in charge thing.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure both games in the Mercenaries series released before Guerilla, and while my memory is not flawless, I recall being able to level pretty much any building you could see in those. The second one even had a really neat island fortress to take apart, and an oil derrick you…

Well, there’s always the Hatchet series.

Just as a guess, I suspect that if you’re in Canada, or, you know, Europe, the answer is no. I’m not certain of Canada’s demographics offhand, although in the U.S. only about 70% of people are of European descent (I believe), so it is unusually high in that regard.

What, no mention of her borderline anti-intellectualism or her blatant racism? I’m fairly certain she’s the only companion to dislike you (it changes her level of approval) solely because you’re an elf. And if you’re an elf mage, well....

That was a useful, detailed answer, and pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

It seems odd to me that it can more accurately predict if they do than if they do not. Is that odd? Any biologists out there who can offer some insight on if that sort of situation is common with other conditions/tests?

Pretty much.

Huh. Well that’s a thing.

Counterpoint.

If I recall correctly, he was born in Tokyo, but his parents were originally from elsewhere. The possibility of military service bringing them to the country sounds fair to me, though.

Just to clarify, SAO II does have an English dub. So does the movie that just came out, Ordinal Scale. That said, I don’t know if either is on Netflix.
