Well, I would be one of those hopeless SOBs. I spent about $400 putting together a PC about 5 years ago from parts a friend was selling and I've spent about another $400 over the years upgrading random parts. It's nice because I can buy a specific part when it's on sale/a friend is selling their old part and just swap…

What if we're the malcontent? I know one very well deserving d-bag who's probably getting the Manual of Things That Might Kill You along with a cheery Christmas card that helpfully suggests he pick a page and go with it.

I'm sorry you didn't like Howl's Moving Castle, out of all of Miyazaki's films it's actually my favorite, and I read the book first to boot. I'm guessing they used it because it's a fairly contemporary Ghibli film...though Spirited Away might have been a better example since it actually won awards iirc in the States.

I know of a certain series of visual novels that pretty much only exist in Japan that all involve time travel. However mentioning that they involve time travel is a very big spoiler for some of the games (especially the puzzle hybrid that came to the states) so I can see why they weren't mentioned. Furthermore it's…

Judging by your description I'm guessing you're talking about Tales of Graces F? To be fair, the kid is pretty lame because the battle system is cut down to about 1/3 of its capacity. I don't know if you took the time to get past it but once you into the adolescent era the game gets quite a bit better. You can skip…

Oh man the Butterfly...I don't care who I play, I almost always grab one. I wonder if the swords are sharp and somewhat realistic? Description says it's made with urethane, anyone have an experience with WETA's stuff or urethane weapons in general?

Oh dear god I hope we get the Corpse Party sequel. The first was so deliciously horrifying ;_;

To be fair though, some people (me being one of them) would argue that LoL and HoN didn't make improvements at all. I personally don't like the direction they took going away from DotA and it makes me pretty excited to hear that Dota2 is a 1:1 copy of DotA with better graphics.

I'd hope for a pre-purchase AND a beta key to tide me over while it's still in development.

*hand up* High five!

I think you missed out on the obvious NeXbox with the whole Next Xbox thing

You wouldn't be saying that if you had read the manga...

I pretty much follow your thinking here. Even my old GBA is spotless.

This makes me somewhat glad that I'm a state away from my PS3 until Monday. Hopefully the traffic will have died down by then and I'll be able to download my freebies without too much hassle.

Seconding P3P! But I'd like it if they added the cutscenes and stuff back in...

I second that, I really wish they would get back to FMP now that the story is actually done.

Lucky guys there then, somewhat. Our ratio is 13% female, owch.

I've got my pass already, but it's sitting here useless because I can't afford to actually get over there.

My favorite part is that in the game it's a girls shirt, but in the bundle it's mens large.

What games since >.>
