You can skip the Omnigrips and buy Caps4Stix instead. They're around $2 a pair instead of Omni's $10, and are incredibly comfortable to use to say nothing of how much thumb-slippage they prevent.

This is just me talking, but the outfits don't look all that cool or attractive.

This needs to be a "Speak Up" article because I can't hear a darn thing you're saying, Evan.

Maybe if they stopped making half of their RPGs with moe/loli bullshittery and actually designed them for potential customers beyond their already established ultra-niche, isolationist consumer base we might start buying them again.

Monkey Paw is at least trying to get Suikoden II out on PSN in one form or another. I got this reply from them in the comments section in a Class of Heroes 2 post they made on Facebook:

MonkeyPaw Games is currently in talks with Konami to try to get Suikoden II, whether as a PSone Classic or a digital copy of Suikoden I+II, released onto PSN.

Hey, I had fun. That's what counts.

I connected to Xbox LIVE with my 360 just now.

I don't think most games are even written with that much thought. Pokemon is not among them.

And what if you wanted to roleplay as a gay guy? It always has to be a woman doing this?

The gameplay looks fun, but the story of every Tales game I've seen was always stupid and/or a carbon copy of every other installment in the series.

I was kind of hoping rumors of revisiting Hoenn were true. People thought the title art looked like ruby and sapphire jewels, but it's just glowing ice. It's a shame, because Hoenn has only showed up in one set of games, and those haven't been ported or remade since. If nothing else, I'd like to see the games simply…

What a sad example of how not to live life.

It won't have a poopy script by Toriyama, for one.

Oh, go fuck yourself, Toriyama.

Of course they aren't looking at men's underwear. Nope, with their level of obsession over it the new currency of Japan may as well be jailbait girls' underwear.

Japan's gender relations are straight out of the 19th century.

You mean this -wasn't- an act of IP theft?

The PS3 and Move work just as well (supposedly) as the WiiU and the Wii Remote. The PSN is up and running -now-, while Nintendo is still ironing out the Nintendo Network, even admitting the whole thing won't even be up and running in time for the console's launch.

I've seen that crap in yaoi all the time: "I'm straight except for this one guy, he's just that hot!" For fucks sake Japan, it's 2012 and you still can't make a mainstream comic or anime series that has a gay protagonist. Pathetic.
