Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were made by the same studio right? Sounds like both those games had a primary goal of getting in some of the most annoying characters in JRPG history. I swear to god, every time those two little kids in Lost Odyssey were on the screen, I'd rip up a throw pillow.

death to those t-shirts
All those designers and none of them can pick a t-shirt that doesn't have a neck hole smaller than their waist?

Mila is Maya in 20 years.

The sept 11 mention
While I do think the events on Sept 11 do have too much tragedy associated with them for usage as I read it, I took the mentioning of it in a financial sense. That day also kicked off the end of a lot of people's jobs.

I felt Jim Jackers advancement not all surprising. Jim, other than Joe, had the best work ethic. He asked a lot of stupid questions and didn't always have the best ideas, but (from what i remember) he was always making attempts towards the goal. He learned as he went despite never being a savant or workaholic like…

I was more jarred that the chapter for Lynn Mason didn't have a chapter "timeline" at the beginning of it than the change in voice. I probably would have gone 2-3 pages through that chapter before I had realized the change.

Coach McGuirk: Hey, My Swords are worth more than all these foods combined.

"I actually felt like I was marching an army across a continent towards an ultimate goal"

games, games, games
I need to stop buying games at full price when I can wait two months and get them for a lot less. I'm looking at you Batman, Overlord 2, Brutal Legend, to name a few…

oops a boob
Anyone else thing Meryl Streep's boob is prominently displayed in the trailer, when it really is just a bra that matches her skin tone?

English breakfast
There's a scene in one trailer for this where Grant picks at a big plate of greasy, heavy breakfast food and says something like "who eats this?" I dunno, Hugh, maybe English people do?

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? A this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

I wouldn't go as far as call Alton pretentious, but the other day I caught an episode where he basically just said "chicken is so bland and boring you should stop eating it" and then made pork tenderloin (zzz).

"commitment to verisimilitude"
you really love that word…

Attempting to make a serial cable network
Despite having an NES from 4th - 10th grade (stopped playing it late in high school) and being a freshman in college as a computer science student I didn't really have any pop culture geek trends until my dorm neighbors introduced me to playing multiplayer Command and Conquer…

Indiana Jones and the Crystal bullcrap
when compared against the franchise, it's obviously just shit, but I think Indy 4 has enough of the content all these other movies have on its own. Enough to be something you can laugh through. I bet anyone would enjoy watching it over Crossroads any day.

It may not look like crying with no sound but you better believe me that raindrops taste like tears without the pain.

don't forget the 6 more

I'd love to have another full depth Sim City game also. That new MMO style one ("Cities XL" or something) just doesn't cut it.

I haven't played this one so I can't say if I like it or not, but I found the first left 4 dead one of the most disappointing games in a long time. It's one of those rare times I take a chance on a game and waste $60.
