Good points made, but would you say it's reasonable to expect some sacrifice on both sides in order to reach goals? That has often been the clinching point for some of my relationships - the disjoint of one side saying "I want to accomplish this but it involves making things difficult..." and the other saying "I…

It goes by the same title as the movie - Densha Otoko (Train Man).

I'll have to go back and rewatch. Thought I saw a black mask with a rifle near the end. I certainly hope you're right.

TV drama was also worth watching I might add

I've found the best dates are in general audience activitives. Karaoke, food, zoos, parks, etc. are all decent spots. If the point is to spend time with the other person and enjoy yourself then why would you even be immersing yourself in your own (or their) comfort zones?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. There's a certain boundary of comfort for most people. A few girls I've dated have said they were okay with my interest, but they had no interest or curiosity in it themselves. It's never bothered me that I'd never take those girls to a con because hobbies are innately personal.

Y'know, I've never once taken a girl to Akihabara on a date except to visit a couple arcades and do co-op, catchers, and purikura. It strikes me as incredibly dense of you if you take your date to a maid cafe unless she says she's curious about them (and you'd actually be surprised at how many couples go out of…

wait. Is it just me or did Scorpion have a gun at the end of the movie?

Very true. I've only really encountered the English/French instruction manuals when it was an Atlus published game. That 50 page manual effectively becomes a 25 page manual :\

So true. I remember just being overwhelmed at first by how thick Age of Empires and Civ2's manuals were. Master of Orion II as well.

Don't forget they're now also becoming multilingual so 1/2 or less of the manual is actually in a language you can read.

My god, I used to fight through the carsickness to read game manuals as a kid just to contain my excitement whenever I got a new game.

With all due respect Totilo instruction manuals are not dead and gone. Maybe they're not nearly as useful as far as for their intended purpose as many games just have in game tutorials (something I detest to no end - especially if I am forced to do the tutorial on a new game+), but they often serve as a useful build…

Crap I sure hope that's not the case. That hard drive fills up much too fast to keep everything on it

That is one of the suggestions I made to someone above in the comments. The only condition there is that the account is considered legit on both the PS3 and PSP (I mean it'd be completely nonsensical if you logged in with your account on your PSP and bought PS3 content then couldn't log in on your PS3 and download…

At some point I had wondered the same thing, but unless it was just carelessness, there's not a whole lot to be changed in way for the Vita.

My sentiments as well. They basically made it easy to play and continue playing when you're not in front of a TV with by allowing the PSOne virtual memory card to copy over to the PSP and back.

One thing you might want to try is if your PS3 and PSP use the same account credentials is to log into the PSN Store on your PSP and download the game that way.

It would rescinding a feature since you can also create a virtual PSOne memory card on the PS3. The original idea was you could play the PSOne title on the PS3, save to the virtual memory card, export that data to your PSP, then pick up where you left off on the PSP for the same game.

Seconded on Bebop!
