I'm considering picking up X (and now I guess I'm forced to get X-2, yay) just because of the combat system. I'm sure I can mute the characters and ignore the subtitles right? Ugh. Maybe I'll just play VI again. :)

Me.

Oh look a joke about gamers and sex. Are you a writer for Big Bang Theory?

I have friends who swear by it, but that series feels more like a "Running Backwards Simulator" than a FPS to me because that's how every encounter ends up for me.

My biggest problem with leveling monsters is the items you need to level both Lightnings. I wanted to max her out just for the heck of it after beating the game, but they're just too rare. Plus, you don't really need to max her out since she's so broken. lol

Oh, don't misunderstand, I quite enjoyed FFXIII as well. It's just that XIII-2 feels like super polished. :)

They did always seem to be a bit behind. And it was a little frustrating when I found myself wishing I had leveled some creatures I hadn't bothered with (like some Sentinels). But overall I stuck with a few simple ones and it just kind of worked out. I didn't really worry about them too much by the end. I ended the…

One of the great things about the genre is how diverse it is. :) (read: flame shield up!)

As others have said, every employee does that. As an employee of any company you are putting your eggs in your employer's basket.

Then I take it all back! :) Well most of it. Wii and Wii U still need to consolidate. Thanks!

I would ask if that Pictobits game is available on the 3DS eShop but I'll just harbor a guess since this is Nintendo:

The real problem with YouTube's copyright bot is that it runs afoul of the traditional paradigm of, "Innocent until proven guilty."

Google's recent handling of YouTube has me looking for a way to host my videos somewhere else. I have a hosted website already. Maybe it's time to push up the storage/bandwidth and go solo.

YouTube's lazy no questions asked content flagging policy is biting them in the ass. I'd say I felt bad but I honestly don't. Not for Google anyway. But what YouTubers are having to deal with right now is beyond ridiculous.

"Touchpad integrations on the PS4"?

The horse armor example is hilarious in retrospect. People were flipping out about it at the time. But think about games today. Now in F2P games we want microtransactions that are only cosmetic. If it makes you better at the game that's what we flip out about now. It's just kind of funny to think about.

Funny story, the day I bought Final Fantasy VII I didn't even own a Playstation yet but I wanted to make sure I had the game. But when I walked up to the counter at Gamestop (or EBGames maybe) and asked for the game the associate looked me right in the eye and said, "Don't bother leveling up that Aeris chick. She…

There were moments of frustration, but it was usually because I was stubbornly brute forcing a boss fight instead of varying my paradigms up. The only time I remember a boss fight frustrating me in FFXIII was Barthandelus and that is only because you need a Sentinel to tank all the AoE but the other characters aren't…
