I want to buy a Wii for almost no other reason than to play Muramasa: The Demon Blade.

Divinity 2? Really? In what way is Divinity (1 or 2) not just a knock-off of Dragon Age and/or Skyrim?

Mmm. Maybe. You're leaving out the $300 + $60 memory card for the hardware. Hardware that does not do what a phone does (make calls) or tries to do it and does it somewhat less-well (run apps).

Posted this on Gizmodo. Going to post it here too.

This. This applies to Vita every bit as much as it does to 3DS. Mayhap moreso because Vita costs more and tries to so much more than 3DS.

Hmm, I for one will *not* disagree with you: PoP '08 is indeed a near-perfect game. I too am irritated that "Warrior Within"—which was clearly an aberration; Prince of Persia wearing a borrowed, ill-fitting God of War costume, if you will—became everyone's favorite.

I'm willing to entertain arguments about what is the best *game* ever, but for me the best game *moments* ever are the 4 "power plate" trainings in Prince of Persia (2008). They bottles the mind, they does (like your mind is in a bottle, y'know?).

Here's a cool idea: Let's say I've been playing XYZ rpg or MMORPG for a long time, have built up a character I really like. He's got a finely tuned appearance that I spent an hour picking out in the character generator and an equipment set that I spent more time acquiring than I did outfitting my actual, physical…

FROM MY COLD, DEAD HANDS!!!

Maybe it's time they started thinking about making Actually Final Fantasy and then moving on to something else.

Yes, a battle does rage . . . BATTLE GOAT CHEESE!!!!!!

I've said this on other threads before but: Imagine being in a bathroom stall next to Kratos. That would be terrifying.

Moe-physique/mannerisms is creepy, yes. But let's admit that it's just the opposite side of the coin from the 'roid-raging, constipation-grunt insanity that is Kratos. Or the guys from Gears of War.

The moe doesn't bother me. Not a bit.

"Roll of paper"? Really? Because paper was not available in 'rolls' until well into the 19th century (at least in the West; maybe the Skyrimmers make paper Asia-style, out of mulberry tree underbark).

PLUS remember that in Ancient Times, there was no cheap groundwood paper (not available until 1843 in our world, when the Pagenstacher brothers invented the wood pulper) or even cotton ragstock paper (is there even cotton in Skyrim?).

So, there's an art school near where I live and they are *always* willing to hire nude models for life drawing classes. Not bad money, either: Like $12.50 an hour for as many hours as you care to sign up for to, very literally, *stand there*. Heck, they even say you can wear a headset so you don't get bored.

As I discovered, it's better to let SF2 *remain* just a memory: It hasn't really aged well. If you like menus, text and controlling everything with just the arrowpad and spacebar, bravo. If not, well . . .

If it had a map, that was SFII (does the above look familiar?). And yes, this person seems to be playing it in a reduced-color mode of some kind. It looked better even on the dosbox version I played last night.

I've had university instructors with bad asses. That's sort of the same thing.
