I agree that this isn’t the year, but we can’t whitewash him out of the history of video games. I know it’s hard to have nuanced discussions about these things, but we can’t really have a society where everyone is judged by the worst thing they have ever done. People are good and bad, people learn, people make…

Yep, I had the most memorial time in Kyoto because of the small personal bars. Bartenders and all patrons were extremely welcoming, most of them knew enough English to have a good conversation, and everyone was in good spirits. If you missed the last train, there are a couple that allows people to sleep over at the…

What you said reminds me of one of my favorite shows on Netflix. Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories.

Exactly—it was one of the only times on the trip that I got to have genuine interactions with Japanese people. There just aren’t that many other opportunities for a foreigner (particularly one speaking shoddy Japanese!) to have a real conversation. Also I loved all the different themes the bars had — The Ramones,…

I’m pretty sure it’s been a thing in JAV for a while now.

EoT is the first true video game movie.

There is no substitute for 90's Ryan Gosling.

You were also seeing some odd patterns. For example Cuban defectors that smuggled into the US were immediately emigrating to the Dominican Republic so they could dodge the draft process and concerns by US/Canadian players that they were effectively at a massive disadvantage.

They ask why should Mike Trout have to go…

I don’t believe much if any mocap footage from The Lost Legacy has been released, but here’s some footage of mocap from Uncharted 4. There’s also footage out there from The Last of Us and previous Uncharted games if you’re interested.

Nope. Stand close enough to get whatever footage you need. Doesn’t bother me at all. Post it on YouTube. Give it to the media. It will match my report and the dash cam.

He has the exact mentality a police officer should have when presented with incomplete facts and a lack of tangible evidence. Objectivity and a lack of judgement, for either side. He fully admits either or could be lying or telling the truth. He’s saying that there is not enough evidence of what happened to say…

He absolutely is not calling him a liar. He is just withholding absolute judgment pending further evidence. Like he said: the video does not depict ALL the things Bennett alleged.

I have no idea what you are rambling about. Read my posts. I don’t believe any of them. I openly have said (as a current cop) that cops lie. Would I take what they say at face value? Nope. Same for Bennett. And it doesn’t matter what I believe, it’s what we can prove happened.

I remember last year at a SEGA arcade shop in Makuhari, there was a crane game with those hooks and you have the get the hook inside the circle to get the prize. I had 4 friends with me and I kept winning everytime and asking the people working there to put the new prize on so I can keep winning, and I asked them to…

Clearly inspired by this excellent piece of artwork:

haha exactly. Man, the bible is what happens when you try to compile a bunch of fan fiction while keeping ALL OF IT canon. Except the stuff the really edgy kids write. That becomes apocrypha and falls under the Bibasarts Legends umbrella.

Very nice that you still have an original boxed copy!

What’s the rule when it comes to the use of “a” or “an” before acronyms?

I prefer the 90's designs... man, my old is showing.
