I love the ergonomics of the Xbox 360 controller, but I agree with you about the sucky D-Pad. Also, the analog sticks sometimes experience what is referred to as the "slow turn" phenomenon, where they are biased in one direction.

Okay, then. I'll be more specific. Piracy equals selling copyrighted content. Warez equals sharing copyrighted content. Both are illegal, of course. I'm not advocating either; I'm merely pointing out that there's a clear distinction between the two. The media has always been quick to abuse the negative connotations of…

I love it how everyone always confuses Warez for Piracy.

This.

Nothing happened to mine. In fact, it's sitting in front of me on my desk right now. The main reason why I wanted backwards-compatibility was so I wouldn't have to swap a gajillion memory cards all the time because I ran out of space or save slots.

When a female game reviewer said that Hyperdimension Neptunia featured "disturbingly sexualized depictions of underage girls", I made a blog comment that featured roughly the same comparison that you just made, stating that a woman reviewing a game tailored towards young men and saying that it made her feel…

Same way he did the T2T. Warthog jumping.

Here's my edit, properly-formatted. LOL, it reads like something that would provoke a libel suit:

I agree with the article wholeheartedly, but her writing style is a little bit timid and wordy, as if bound up in a whole lot of subconscious, self-imposed political correctness. It reminds me of Warren G. Harding, to some small extent. Not good attributes to have when you're in the business of writing. The problem…

Miyamoto's statement about it being "a lot easier for us developers" for the industry to settle on a single standard can actually be interpreted in multiple ways. Reading between the lines, I concluded that the gist of what he was saying was "I'm an intensely perfectionist, obsessive-compulsive game designer, and the…

I do, in fact, hold my controller vertically in front of myself, (or tilted up at a sixty-degree angle, rather). Even though I'm generally one of those "up is up" guys you appear to loathe, I can play equally-well with inverted or non-inverted controls. It just takes a two-hour acclimation process for me to transition…

Yeah, and it's so condescending. It's almost as if the people in the audience should be ashamed. There was a time when being a Sega fan meant something, y'know. I have Sega pride.

On the scale of cute versus sexy, they took her and shoved her all the way over to the "cute" side. I approve.

Exactly. The new graphics APIs give it a serious edge that the original Xbox didn't have. The PS Vita has a level of power that is somewhere between a sixth-generation and seventh-generation home console. It would have been completely impossible to build something like that just a few years ago. Thank god for Moore's…

No. I think Hitler was a pawn used by the Jewish power elite to wipe out innocent Jewish commoners and lay the groundwork for an Israeli state by drawing the western powers into direct conflict with its only real political and economic foe in that part of the world. Don't take my word for it; look up Alexander Parvus.…

Just a spot of Soundtrack Dissonance: [tvtropes.org]

Looking at the specs, it seems like the PS Vita edges out the original Xbox slightly in terms of power. That's very impressive.

Yes, I started to get that feeling about three hacks ago.

Nah, I was just jerking your chain the whole time. I don't really need to justify anything to you.

I don't think this is getting through to you. Vita is not human. She's one of the Wolkenritter, or "Cloud Knights". She's an illusion conjured up by a sentient magical tome on repeated occasions over a period of more than a thousand years, acting as a kind of automated defense system for the tome and its owner. She's…
