I don’t much agree with this, though I’m curious why China seems to really like the movie while the USA hates it. I watched the movie already and am a pre-WoW Warcraft fan and while I liked it for what it was, I can understand the dislike for the movie since a movie like this requires world-building to explain many of…

Quite possibly, but you’re not reading far enough into it. Microsoft doesn’t really make any money on the consoles. Usually for the first year or two, that hardware is sold at a loss. Microsoft makes most of their money on games and via their Xbox Live system.

To be honest, it really shouldn’t matter. It’s nearly impossible to tell if a person is just joking or is being serious when it comes to the internet. English text, and most written languages can’t evoke feelings very well. You’re taking a gamble either way and wouldn’t you take the safer gamble and assume it’s a…

I think the biggest thing creating this feeling is we’re all beginning to reach the point where we have every game we want at rock bottom prices, so deals are becoming few and far between since the deals are on older things we already have. Today I looked at the list of games and with the exception of a couple old…

Censorship is definitely a hot topic these days and its something I generally don’t agree with. Media should be translated with the best of abilities to ensure the original meaning remains intact regardless of where a person is from, even if they need to use honorifics to show how they percieve themselves to others in…

Sadly, I never finished it. Lost my PSP in a house fire and have been waiting for them to rerelease it for awhile now. With all the recent PC and PSN releases of old Final Fantasy games, I keep hoping to see 3rd Birthday and Crisis Core show up on either PSN or PC. Guess I need to start digging up emulators again.

AC was a movie I’d highly recommend seeing, even just for the fight scenes. Go watch it or continue reading. Needless to say, spoiler alert.

Yep, it features all the story bits. They ported over all the voice acting, the cinematics, mission briefings, etc.

I would consider Starcraft and Broodwar to be more or less required. If you’re playing it to experience the story, you’ll be more than a little lost. Starcraft II really didn’t do any favors for new players in this regard.

I didn’t end up learning how to drive stick until about the age of 27. The first vehicle I tried to learn on was my mom’s only vehicle and she flipped out when I made the gears grind and I ended up not having a drivers license til the age of 20 because of her unwillingness to just let me learn at my own pace. It was…

I actually really enjoyed the game. While it had its flaws, it was ultimately a game that brought me back to how early games were; pure and unadulterated by the worries of today. It’s one of the few games released recently where I can just forget about the world’s problems because it doesn’t draw any parallels to the…

Metal Gear Solid 3 originally had the same camera style of MGS2. You couldn’t control the camera beyond moving it a little when sidled against a wall.

FWIW, I look forward to your articles just because they have a sense of humanity to them and that you’re passionate about what is clearly also a hobby. I work in the computer industry as IT/technical support and most of the people I work with treat it as just a job and nothing more. It’s not just that they put in no…

I think the reaction to the animation of Episode 5 was less about how bad it was and more about how jarring the difference in quality is. DBZ’s animation differences were noticeable, yes, but the animators also knew where to sink their best resources, much like Naruto, which is also well known for having varying…

I dunno, I thought those movies were pretty good for what they were. The CG was pretty terrible from a technical standpoint, but it didn’t bother me since there was an otherworldy thing about Ryuk and Rem. This might bother me though. The Titans are more connected to the action than Ryuk and Rem were.

There’s a lot more to the story than the trailers will have you believe, which is something I really liked about the anime and manga, but I’ll avoid spoilers as best I can. Most of this happens in the first episode.

Great read, thanks. I do have a few questions.

Hi Everyone. My name’s mph8er and I am a pirate...hear me out before crucifying me.

The Buu you saw is Mr Buu, which is the good remaining that Majin Buu shed to become Evil/Kid Buu, so he is still alive. At the end of Dragonball Z, there was a time skip to show a future World’s Martial Arts tournament. Mr Buu helped Goku change the numbers everyone drew to make sure Goku got to fight Uub.

I'm very much in the same boat, but I also think it is what separates the hardcore gamers of old with the hardcore gamers of new. I count myself in the former category. This always online culture of gaming is something that I've never quite understood. It is also the reason why I don't care much for MMO's. I've put…
