This is slightly off-topic, but does anybody find it refreshing to hear a Christian's persecution complex be accurate for a change?

The problem is there's little difference. They could do what I did when the Salvation Army denied aid to gay people and leave. If your religion interferes with your morality, then your religion is broken. By continuing to practice and lend support (both financial and otherwise) to a church that supports hateful…

More like "get your shit together MS and allow Uber to support their games properly." Microsoft's overzealous control of their closed system in XBLA is what drove Uber away and I can't say that I blame them one bit. It must be frustrating to have fixes and improvements you can't deploy because XBLA's update policy is…

Interesting. My biggest gripe with SSB is its INaccessibility. There's a greater burden of knowledge on the player to function even at a basic level. If you don't know Guile's super moves or how to block or anything, you can still button mash your way through a fight. If you don't know your character's recoveries or…

You just defined fishing as theft. Good job.

I'm not saying EA should do the Promo Bay thing. What I'm saying is that it's irresponsible to rely on DRM when it has been shown time and time again that it doesn't work. What works is reaching out to pirates and converting them into customers.

All the more reason for them to look at what actually works. And guess what? This sort of thing works.

If they finish their turn and give up their spot this is totally fine. It's only rude if they start dropping in tons of extra money and keep going after their turn should be over. If they're bogarting the machine that's messed up. But that's going to be messed up no matter who it is on the wrong side of it. It being a…

In Japan, they like their child stars both sexy and chaste.

Keeping your techniques to yourself is one thing. Maybe you just shouldn't claim to show people how you do your thing then? Doing a howto and failing to show how you actually do it is bogus.

I'm so glad she didn't let the assholes stop her from playing whoever the hell she wants to play. Twists on characters is a whole friggin genre of cosplay, and an established trope in fiction. Marvel 1601 is EXTRA AWESOME because it tweaks the characters and puts them in a different time and place, it doesn't ruin a…

Cheers to that. Well said.

That makes sense. I disagree, but I see what you're saying.

Curious: did you find skill unlocks in OtRSPoD3 feel like a linear checklist? I thought combining the different classes was fun and I felt like I had some interesting choices of what to use and how to combine them. Each class was linear, sure, but it's the combination that made it interesting. IMO, anyway.

JRPGs don't have an originality problem, they have a perception problem. Ni no Kuni has less in common with Dragon Quest, both mechanically and thematically, than Call of Duty does with Halo. The combat system alone is drastically different. You can clearly cite influences, I'm not trying to say it exists in a vacuum…

I will never understand why composers for RPGs think it's a good idea to have an introduction. I mean, if you have godawful 20 second load times *coughLostOdysseycough* then it makes sense because the song kicks into gear about when you get to play. But if I'm playing the game and you're still in the introduction you…

The quotes are because he released it as a "cover" of Glee's version of his version of the song he covered in the first place. IOW, Coulton's song is a cover of Baby Got Back and a "cover" of Glee's cover of Baby Got Back.

FACTS.

Really guys? You can play BLOPS, but can't say "fucking?" Hrm. HRM, I say.

It's not like the idea of a folksy soft rock arrangement of a rap song is new or unique, but got DAME this is shameless.
