Suikoden III is the game that cemented in my mind that great RPG stories with multiple perspectives are the exception, rather than the norm (and, no, I don’t view Suikoden III as one of the exceptions). However, I’m quite biased against Suikoden III, as I’ve encountered few people online who are as critical of the…

I chose Christ, partly because she was my favourite, but also because Hugo sucks and Geddoe would’ve been downgraded from his amazing lightning rune to a horrible fire rune. Chris sucks with magic, anyway, so I figured there was no harm in her becoming the hero. Seriously, why does everyone talk about how great the…

The first two Suikoden games aren’t very long. The first one takes like 18 hours to finish and the second one takes 35 hours at most. Personally, I think the series got weaker as it got longer (I was miserable for most of the 50+ hours I spent playing Suikoden III, and Suikoden V has one of the worst opening 9 hours…

I could see a Suikoden HD collection, akin to Konami’s recent Contra and Castlevania collections, being pretty awesome and plausible, but I think a new game in the series would probably turn out more like Suikoden IV than Suikoden V: in other words, it would suck. Konami hasn’t made an excellent new game in forever…

Konami tried to make a Suikoden game five times after the series’ primary developers left after Suikoden III. Those five games were Suikoden IV, Suikoden Tactics, Suikoden V, and two spinoffs, one for the DS and one for the PSP. Of those five attempts, Konami really only succeeded once with Suikoden V (no offence to…

Sometimes, it’s simpler to play the game on a lower difficulty level, if that’s an option. Personally, I hate the cover-shooter combat in Uncharted games, so I just played them on the easiest setting so I could run around and shoot people. I never got particularly frustrated, aside from one area near the end of the…

Well, it would make more sense to me than billionaires being allowed to fleece a city for a loan they’ll never pay back and don’t actually need in the first place without suffering any repercussions.

In any case, my point is that I don’t care for the Flames’ owners and wish them the worst. A 50/50 split (or even a more…

Aw yeah, I live in Saskatoon and am a Flames fan! Sounds great to me!

Or it would, except that the human garbage owners would probably try to steal money from Saskatoon, too, so no thanks.

So, if taxpayers are paying 50% of the stadium’s cost, the City of Calgary should get 50% of the ticket sales over the next 35 years. Instead, Calgary is only get 1/25th of that amount, which means they clearly failed at negotiations.

Also, my hatred and disgust at sports owners continue to grow.

So I guess Britain has lost the right to look down on the United States for electing Trump, since they’ve now elected a complete idiot with stupid hair, too (and he even started on a TV show like Trump did!). This loser doesn’t seem to be as dumb as Trump (not a very high bar, admittedly), but come one, Britain.

Sheesh,…

I can’t believe this is a debate and that Nacho Cheese didn’t effortlessly win. Is Cool Ranch the black licorice of chips or something? I don’t understand.

I was surprised to see this news. I’d enjoyed Keri’s work for Grantland and his book on the Expos, but I guess I won’t be reading anything else he writes in the future.

I don’t care how bad pitchers are at hitting; it’s always worth it to see them hit home runs, since the look of shame on the opposing pitcher’s face is consistently golden.

I still haven’t watched the third Rebuild movie since I hated the second one so much. I might get around to it (and this long-gestating fourth movie) some time just to see it how it ends.

Consider me over the moon for Ned Yost now.

I dunno. I look at the original image and I still just see a hand next to Pierce Brosnan’s face.

Court will probably have the record for most combined championships (an absolutely insane 64 championships in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles) for the rest of our lifetimes, so her name isn’t going to disappear any time soon. However, it’s true that most people only care about the singles record, so her name will…

I’d say Federer’s losing record against Djokovic can mainly be attributed to Federer not retiring and playing with an age disadvantage to Djokovic since 2012. Federer has actually had a winning record against Djokovic for most of their respective careers, but Federer has lost all four of his matches against Djokovic…

What’s frustrating about Roy is that he has the potential to be an excellent fighter, as his stat growths are solid, but his late promotion makes him subpar for a large portion of the game. And, yeah, Roy is definitely better than the many useless part members that populate the Fire Emblem series, but most of the…

I got a few disagreements:

1) I’d say the ending more than makes up for Necron, stupid as Necron is (why not just have another form of Kuja?). Still, I’d hardly say that Necron ruins anything about the game, as the final boss has no effect on the story (this lack of importance is why Necron is awful, but it’s also why…
