It's not "barely last generation." While it's been relatively misunderstood to this point, even in terms of pure processing power and stereotypical measurements it's easily more powerful than the 360/PS3. Draw requirements, data throughput, primary memory. Pretty much everything has more "potential" than the 360 or…

Did you forget that new Hunter x Hunter Gon figurine? Doubt it!

Did anyone notice that you can't create a "white" character in the alpha? Racism!

Seriously, though, the alpha test has sold me on the game. It's a lot of fun, and much more expansive than I'd expected.

Have you never been into a retail boutique? The next time you're in the mall, pop into Express and tell me the men's section is equally represented. The only time it's even close to balanced is in teen groups (the AF's, AE's, and Hollisters—but even then not "equal"), or during male-focused holidays. The reasoning for…

See, though, this is the type of argument that should be made. It's infinitely more constructive to ask for representation, in its own right, than to complain about each individual game not having it. As much as I dislike Ubisoft as a company for being incredibly shady in regards to consumer rights, we're talking…

While this sounds like a generally fantastic idea, I have concerns about the DRM aspects in regards to offline mode, the price, the configuration (I'm just generally not fond of the nipple-controls), and the lack of "real" secondary memory. 32GB isn't even enough for my phone or media player at this point, and I have…

Those eyes. They haunt my dreams—my every waking moment.

FazerGS — though I am pretty sure that name is retired forever.

I'm getting tired of the new push towards timed pre-orders. Drakengard, Farcry, this. If I'm going to miss out on extras because I don't want to drop the cash 6 months early, then I'm just not going to bother at all. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the push for committal before games have any solid…

I don't really think games as art figures so prominently into my argument as you surmise. Even if we "reduce" games to entertainment, we're still not owed anything past constructive criticism. When we regard ourselves as entitled to constrain the creative process even further than it already is, we're essentially…

It's a bit disappointing. What happened to all the features we were promised? While it's great that this finally brings things to the XBO that match the PS4 (as all this stuff is pretty much on the PS4 already), my "All in One" media device still lacks basic media inclusiveness. Where's my DLNA, .mp3, etc. support?…

If only I could wiki the assignments pulled from said textbooks, I'd be in a lot better shape financially.

I don't remember many of those. One way or another, though, I didn't think the game was all that bad. :/

Yeah, but I can't read Kanji fast enough to keep up with a lot of dialogue. Sometimes it's okay, others are an exercise in futility.

It may help. I can recommend the WNDR4500. It's pretty fantastic, and much cheaper than it used to be. I'm actually about to go play Second Son while I soak in a tub. :P

You're awfully obsessed about timing. Got a hot internet date?

Genshiken. Welcome to the N.H.K. Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai (The World Only God Knows), are a few good starters.

This is sexist, and offensive. Next thing you know, they'll be turning other beloved characters into stripper dance groups.....wait...
