@Nintendud: But that persona is part of the job. It's like how models are expected to keep in shape and look good. There are seiyuu who aren't idols, and there are idols who aren't seiyuu. Aya was both, but she's decided to quit the idol part, and I find that unfortunate. Another analogy I use is this: Your…

@michaelasnider: They really do need to make full-size versions of video game helmets. Microsoft could make a (bigger) killing off of officially licensed Spartan gear.

Aya's always a touchy subject with me. I really like her characters and her voice in general, but I wish she would have retained a more idol-like persona. I know that's selfish, but she is an entertainer, so I don't mind stating my desire to be entertained. By an innocent maiden who is eternally 17 and would never…

It kind of sounds like the poor baka gaijin was getting trolled.

@That-Other-Guy-Over-There: You'll change your mind once you see a battalion of Helghast helmeted felines surrounding your flanks.

@illiniphase4: That was a companion character. The player just told him to stay put, laid down the mines, and went at it. Companions are immortal (but not invincible) in normal difficulty, so there's no risk. Except to the game's stability.

Sweet, I just got a cat this year, too.

@Datsun_John: I'm stealing that gif.

I just recently bought a SteelSeries SX aluminum pad and a R.A.T. 7, and I'm really loving the combo. Well, it beats the old cutting board I was using.

@Tzion: Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear any more.: Oh, actually, add Mamoru Miyano onto that list.

I have a few dakimakura, but none of "real" people. I'd probably only be tempted to buy one of these if the subject were Nana Mizuki or Minori Chihara. Aya Hirano would have been on the list last year, but now... eh.

@Rawrnosaurous: To be honest, I don't feel like I deserve the star, either, and I'm frankly surprised that I was given it. Usually these types of comments are scarcely given notice by other commenters, much less the editors. I suppose from now on I'll have to make more meaningful contributions. Something of an…

How wude.

@PSWii2008: 4/1 to 3/31 is one year, just like 1/1 to 12/31.

Let's hope he's got some bathtub nitroglycerin brewed up.

@shkm: If you run the games at 1280x720 with other console equivalent settings (low-med render distances, med textures, etc), you should be able to run the PC game at a higher FPS than the console version. Obviously an $800 box isn't gonna be able to max 2033, but neither is any console, and when you compare apples…

@BeefSupreme: Jobs is a good businessman, but that doesn't equate to technological progress. Apple's flagship products all use flashier versions of tech that's been on the market for a while. If they were using those insanely high sales numbers to invest in emerging tech, that would be one thing, but their just…

Only 6090円 ($75)!

I think she just likes the JAKKA JAN of the automatic weapons.

@MrHaru: Japanese Adult Video. Porn.
