@metalnut: The technology isn't the point. If anything, the fact that it will become outdated makes it an even better gesture. They'll be able to look at how old-fashioned the tech in the ring is and be reminded of how long they've been together.

Man, Japan has got a serious inferiority complex lately. To say their gameplay isn't strong and then use FPS's and sandbox games as examples seems to me to be missing the point.

@dracosummoner: If you watch his movies in the order they were made, you can defiantly see the man's work is getting more and more odd as he ages. His first movie, Castle of Cogliostro, has no supernatural elements whatsoever and is basically a really well-done adventure flick (which feels a bit like a TinTin novel.)

@An Atheist Jew: Miyazaki really likes Pixar, actually. Notice how a Totoro doll gets a fairly prominent non-speaking role in Toy Story 3. Considering how incredibly protective Miyazaki is of his characters, I doubt he would have let that happen if he didn't have a huge amount of respect for Pixar.

Oh man, it's going to be crazy when we discover time travel.

It depends on the game, really. I just finished Persona 4, and it took me 100 hours to get the true ending. But I don't think the game would have worked as a 40 hour RPG, because of all the day-to-day lifesim elements. On the other hand, Dragon Quest 8 took me about 60 hours, yet I found that to be too long. That's

@Paul_Is_Drunk: I think the distinction is that Pixar tries to give each of its properties a unique identity, whereas Bioware trades off familiarity. If you play ANY Bioware game made in the last decade, you know what you're going to get before you start the game: an RPG with a branching storyline based on moral

The tough thing about this comparison is that Pixar is good at so many things, it's hard to determine what criteria you should use. Do you go by the creation of memorable characters who appeal to both adults and kids? If so, then Nintendo may be gaming's Pixar. Do you go by the unbroken string of critical and

@Foxhack: Blackthrone and Justice League Task Force? Now those are some Toy Story-level masterpieces.

Relationship levels?

@ClevelandRock: I think a lot of people confused the question with "what is your personal favorite game?"

I'll be celebrating America the way Ben Franklin would have wanted: with lots of cursing.

I think a good way to put it is that Wonder Woman is famous, but not popular. She is probably the fourth most recognizable superhero ever created (after Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man) and defiantly the most well-known female hero.

@fuchikoma: Is it even possible for a corporate mascot to "sell out?" It's not like Mario used to be in an indie band which got signed to a major label or something.

@senselocke: The "give everyone a Kindle" plan sounds lovely on paper, but would never work in practice. Why? Because the majority of newspaper readers are older people, age 50 and above, and thus the least likely to welcome new technology. That's why they still buy papers in the first place. If a paper tried this,

@Sleet: "Society is to blame" is not a valid legal defense.

@W10002: No matter what you expect from the internet, you are always expecting too much.
