"Expert cards that are being changed can be disenchanted for their full cost for a limited time once this balance change goes live. The currently targeted date of this balance change is September 22nd."

Solforge just nerfs your cards and keeps your money.

This isn't exactly true, although I understand what you mean.

Full plate armor offered so much protection that a heavily armored combatant could offer a brief moment of minor vulnerability in order to establish the speed and momentum needed to hit a lightly-armored opponent. We know from various historical sources…

Fuck steam.

Love GOG.

Luke,

Thanks you for correctly identifying Double Dash as the best Mario Kart game, but I want you to look back at Mario Kart 64 and acknowledge that it had the best battle mode.

Those levels were just so epic.

I do remember playing this game, but I seem to remember it being an expensive game to get into (at the time).

In the last few years, I also have looked into picking up some old cards to play older CCGs. I was surprised to learn, however, that cards from the game Ani-Mayhem are actually still quite expensive.

Other…

I just looked into this game after it was mentioned in the most recent Pier Solar HD update. I was pretty excited, but it just doesn't do it for me.

The art style seems very odd to me. The character model moves is a clunky and unnatural way, and the textures of the environment and interactive elements just seem very…

Well said. The economy is not based on the guild system anymore.

Yes.

This is pretty dumb.

These pictures seem confused...

I was going to respond to Richard, but you are quite right. It is commonplace to refer to shojou and even bishojou as genres.

Even though Richard is right—the words attempt to describe the audience—the meaning of the words has been altered by otaku.

Richard's post was probably designed to be a pageclick =p

...with emphasis on the THREE years.

Just don't touch the helm or you lose ALL YOUR SPELLS FOR THE WHOLE DAY!

Well don't worry too much about it Richard. I have it on good authority that the first episode of the next season is reminiscent of the Ep 1 S 3 of Sherlock Holmes.

"Let's run this down. Hatsuna used her powers to their limit (and thus "hung up," which prevented her from using her powers for a period of time). After Kuroha and Murakami left for the lab, she regenerated herself from a pile of goo (most likely hanging up again). Then, as Kazumi lay cut in half, Hatsuna somehow…

I appreciate that Seraphna. I hope my bulletpoints help some readers understand this and other stories out of Japan.

Thanks for the response Helios. I like that Kotaku has writers like Brian and Richard that share news stories from Japan, but I think they oftentimes miss a chance to explain to Kotaku readers more about the situations they are sharing.

I should also say that this is often the case when Americans evaluate elements of…

I'd like to add two important notes to Brian's explanation that I hope may help readers understand just how easy it is to misinterpret things like this:

1: Japan is a high context culture. In an instance like this, a literal translation of the words alone are not enough to understand exactly what the speaker means. To…

And here I was wondering if there was any way that World of Warcraft content could get any more linear...

Well played Blizzard.

Great review Richard.*

Black Bullet is a lot of things: an action show, a comedy, a teen romance, a fighting anime, a social commentary, and a post-apocalyptic adventure among other things. However, by trying to be so many different things at once, it rarely gives enough time to any one aspect for it to be truly…
