Let’s talk about the elephant in the room... Aeris dying.

NOBODY anywhere, whether they have ever played the game or not, doesn’t know she dies. It’s the most commonly known twist right behind Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker’s father. So how do you handle remaking a game built around a then-shocking mid-game twist? Do…

Did you really just slag on FF& and Chrono Trigger in the same post? You... you can’t be human. Only a monster, a true demon, could say such blasphemous sacrilege and not immediately burst into flames. Back, foul beast! Back into the pit from whence thee came!

Chrono and FF7? The two very best JRPGs ever made...

I love Tifa as much as anyone, but Aeris is amazing too andeven Yuffie is pretty damned awesome. I only wish we had gotten the choice to let Clod sacrifice himself to save Aeris so we could have had the Holy Trinty as our party.

It’s not about race, it’s about change. Understand? We as nerds want the characters and stories that we loved on the page translated faithfully onto the screen. That’s it.

That means if the actor cast doesn’t look like the following, he’s wrong to play Johnny Storm:

You know what I see when I see “coupe crossovers”? This:

Yes, people are free to be as obnoxious and wasteful as they want, and I am free to criticize the phenomenon and cheer for positive change. I’m not going around vandalizing pickups and SUVs or harassing people in the street, I’m sharing my opinion on a discussion board. Understand that? Good. Moving on.

What you seem…

That’s a damned shame, I suppose the drop in gas prices gave the square SUV a bit of CPR. That’s too bad, I’ve seen a good few of the Crosstours around here and like that they were earning space in this suburban environment where people have bought way more vehicle than they need or ever use for over two decades now.

Yo…

Are you telling me that you can’t carry a couple of kids around in a midsized sedan? My parents did when I was growing up and there were three of us. We managed just fine. These coupe-like crossovers are no smaller than a Camry or Accord, and that is more than enough car for the average family. Up until the SUV craze,…

That hasn’t been my experience. Sure, some go to a midsized crossover, but some indeed do go smaller still and it’s good thing when they do. Now I don’t know about the BMW or Mercedes vehicles quite so much as they’re a different market entirely due to price range, but most people I see in Crosstours and the like are…

Have I ever tried it? Yep. I’m a coonass and proud of it.

No, not usually. Most people I’ve ever seen in SUVS (I live in a suburban / small town) barely use the extra space if they ever do and absolutely never use the off-road capabilities at all. At most they’re used like minivans, though a good hatchback sedan or wagon would be more than enough for just two kids and some…

You. Out. Now.

You and KAG25 miss the point. These are driven by the same people that used to drive Tahoes and Expeditions and never once used the extra space or the off road capability at ALL. They never needed or used more than what they’d get out of a Camry but they were all brainwashed by the crowd into giant SUV monstrosities…

That is exactly how I view them. The people driving them wouldn’t opt for a reasonable sedan, they are former Suburban / Expedition drivers and we should be thankful they’ve been weaned away from those monstrosities. Every time I see one I think it’s one less gigantic monster Tahoe type POS on the road and I’m glad of…

Who decided “hermaphrodite sounds crappy”? Was there a meeting at some point and time when it was voted on? Who makes these decisions to just swap out a term for a new euphemism to satisfy their quest for politically correct language? It’s a pointless quest, as changing the word because “it’s insulting” is getting it…

Now THAT is the goddamned JOKER.

Heath Ledger was not.

Well said. The prudish anti-sex moralism of some modern so-called feminists would be appalling to the proud and brave women who fought for sexual liberation before they were born.
