If you had a bad meal, complain about the meal, if you played a bad game, complain about the game. Do not personally insult the chef, nor the game developer, by calling them a basement coder when they’ve actually taught at the university of Texas for the past few years. Try again, kiddo, cause your argumentation…

That’s nice. And what have you done for the art of game design?

No. He said we should question our perspectives on violent media. He holds still that violent games do not cause real-world violence, but also that violent games are often shallow and without context or consequence that follows real-world violence because of the hollywood-style of storytelling that they have…

Aside from battery-drain, this is actually true. The update to the store caused the problems with the store, not the vita’s firmware update. There was a hotfix, but it required some small safe-mode operation on the Vita. In any event, I’m glad its done. But I still have no idea what may be causing battery drain issues.

Out of all the valid arguments here, I can still almost forgive their copyright trolling -given a lot of time and a sincere apology. But, exploiting and profiting off of the deaths of their fellow human beings like the Pebbles video says is just so low that I can barely even comprehend it.

Well, yes they are terrible human beings. We have known this for some time now, and I hardly see how this is surprising.

Why bring it up? Well, someone needs to throw a firecracker into the midst of this mutual masterbation party that they are having in Anime right now. I actually have a deep respect for animation and Japanese culture, which is precisely why I cannot let them get away with this shit without objecting.

Japan has castrated…

No, the whole point of a company is to serve the public interest. The idea of making money for the sake of making money has roundly been defeated philosophically, morally, and practically. In fact, it has even been proven mathematically that trying to make money for the sake of making money actually loses the society…

No, no reply because I spent the day watching my father get a 12-inch cathedar placed into his heart through his arm in order to fight off a life threatening infection. I would answer you, but now I don’t feel like it, dumbfuck.

I have no idea what that is.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying. The purpose of this figure is not -in the end- to please me, it is to make a company money, and that is manipulative. Also, as most people know, real sex has less to do with your own gratification and more to with a communication of mutual feeling. Emotional fulfilment,…

Yeah, that is seriously far too short for my taste. In reality, most Japanese schools no longer require uniforms, and those that do have fixed heights for skirts, just above the knees.

I don’t know, to me the least attractive thing is when I know someone is trying to manipulate me. And when you have these obvious ploys…

I’ve met a few Japanese people, but none like the Otaku portrayed commonly. Hell, I love some anime, like Satoshi Kon or Hyao Miazaki, who are just excellent filmmakers.

Japan does have some strange cultural pressures to it, though. Suicide rates are very high, and people who feel like they do not fit in are often left…

Wow, even for $160 this would be a rip-off.

First, let’s examine it: 1. The facial characteristics are bland and largely expressionless, with the exception of some over-exaggerated blush attempting to pass for it. The hair is overly thick and ugly when viewed, clumping together horribly. The eye-color gradient is…

Right, I actually forgot that the PS4 now requires payment for online gaming for most games. The PS3 was free, and I forgot they added that cost. I mostly play single-player, story-focused games so it matters little to me in my scenario, but you are correct.

There are other minor advantages and disadvantages to these…

I strongly dislike the alpha. There are several reasons why, but most pressing is simply the fact that AAA developers are now completely disabling dual-core processors. Far Cry 4 was only the beginning, soon virtually no AAA games will be available on dual-core. Also, the system has no upgrade path. While indie,…

As far as PC gaming. Numberous reliable scources on YouTube (not actually an oxymoron, believe it or not.) Have decent PC builds for around $350 USD. However, these do not include operating systems or monitors. So, in reality, it is far more likely that $550 or so will be the entry point for PC gaming, assuming that…

It is because until now on the PSN for Ps3, many of these games are $9.99 USD. Now, to be fair, upscaled resolutions and deinterlacing are things I would pay and extra 5 bucks for, if only because deinterlaced games look much better on modern progressive-compatible TVs. But, while Rogue Galaxy is new, others like the…

So, we are seeing a mix of titles already available for PSN on PS3, and new arrivals like Rogue Galaxy. . . Interesting. . . Will purchases for -say- GTA III on PSN count for playing GTA III on PS4? or are they going to be jerks and force people to buy the game again?

I was only there during the summer months on the trips I have been there. I suppose that seasonal weather changes could make a difference. It is funny you mention Beijing: when I was there, I planned my tourist-y trip to the Great Wall reconstruction weeks ahead of time. That night, there was a thunderstorm, and the…
