Thanks. I'll be talking with my school advisor about it soon.

My university has a campus in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. I've been wanting to get out of the country a bit, and I think that it might be a good opportunity, not just academically, but culturally. It provides a nice chance to see Japan and Korea, which I've wanted to do for like a decade. The classes are all in English, so I…

Greens?

If the masturbation joke is the punchline then I'm not really sure how it could ruin the punchline.

Ghost in the Shell has been whoring itself out a bit lately between this and the Windows Tablet tie-in. I don't think that product placement in shows is necessarily a bad thing, if it gives the studio a little more money then I'm all for it. I also think that lending themselves to a commercial is good if they're able…

You're right, you said that getting a hyped indie game for their service three days after its release does not qualify as Sony's A game. That would imply that it would only be impressive if it was a AAA game. Tell me how that's any better.

I didn't realize that only big budget games could be good. Silly me.

I'm a big fan of these candy painted Nintendo consoles. I really liked Japan's orange/black and turquoise/black 3ds XLs that came out in November. If those had come stateside then I might've purchased the orange one over my LoZ:LBW limited edition one.

Mercenary Kings already? It just (officially) came out like 3 days ago, Sony is on their A-game. I highly recommend checking it out if you've got PSN+ or 15USD to buy it on Steam for both PC and Mac (Steamplay enabled.)

Is it anything like Yuru Yuri? I'm a fan of that show.

That was a bit over the top aggressive. I think that my response on that article was a bit more level-headed:

I'm not sure that the "everyone is doing it" defense really works here. Accurate headlines and good writing is what separates good news networks from the tabloids. As far as I'm concerned, if you constantly need to exaggerate or bend your stories to draw in readers then 1) those readers don't have any business reading…

There were a lot of excellent indie games in 2012, but FTL easily rose to the top. I'm excited for the expansion, and that the game is being released to a wider market. I think that FTL's control scheme and pacing should make it a fantastic mobile title.

I don't hate her as a person, just as an actress. I really think she has no business on a movie screen. I never knew a god-awful actor until I saw Megan Fox, and she has been setting the bar for about a decade.

FFS, how does Megan Fox keep getting roles? There are more skilled and equally attractive actresses. I guess it's a Michael Bay movie so I shouldn't expect anything more than good special effects, but c'mon. I wasn't planning on watching this movie anyway, but I'll steer as far away from it as possible now that I know.

What is everything that ended the American arcade market like twenty years ago. Seriously, I'm not even sure how Japanese arcades are still afloat. I guess it's a different market, but given everything that's going against them I'm surprised.

That's probably not a great indication. Joe Shmoe isn't exactly scientifically knowledgeable, and it's easy to blame your problems on others. Chances are that South Korea has its own problem in addition to China's. Note that the numbers are significantly higher in and near their cities, I doubt that's coincidental.

ffs, why do people think this? Kickstarter is not an investment. You don't get money back or shares in the company.

But it still doesn't warrant a second purchase. My stance on rereleases is this: If you already have the game then chances are that there isn't enough added content to be worth it for you. If you don't already have the game then the new one is the definitive version, and you should get it.

At the moment, I guess it isn't. If someone already owns the game and has a capable PC then I don't exactly think that spending fifty dollars for some updated shaders and managing inventory on a second monitor is worth it. I mean, that's just me. I didn't exactly rush out for Kingdom Hearts HD or Final Fantasy X HD…
