I'm so glad I wasn't the only one to think this...After seeing larger and larger games I've been super stoked to see the indie game movement take off the way it has. Part of me felt that wow, maybe Miyamoto-san is feeling the same way. Maybe he's going to come up with something wildly creative once he's no longer…

The most hardcore negotiator I know is one of my close (female) friends. I had never seen a dealer actually SWEAT before (like, literally), until this girl started getting into it for her Mazda 3. Hell, if possible I'm going to bring her along as my secret weapon next time.

Had much the same experience back in 2004 when I was lost in Akiba and heard the music blaring from the 2nd (3rd?) story window.

Agreed on the credit union bit. Almost always several points lower than a bank and heaps less than the stealership, even if you're not bait and switching them on the financing.

THAT'S MY PURSE! I DON'T KNOW YOOOOUUUUU!!!

I'd like to say the Collector, but I know I'm the Importer/Exporter. Times are getting tougher for us because of folks like @bashcraft though. Seeing articles on games that ONLY I was privy to before is tough. What's worse is that hidden treasures I kept secret for years like Super Potato, places I shopped at before…

It should be noted that the comic itself fills all non-action moments with ridiculous amounts of expository pretending to be conversation. The show has, if nothing else, improved on Kirkman's atrocious writing some even if the conversations still seem wholly unnatural and unbelievable.

Best Buy screwed me out of the Collector's Ed. of Dark Souls last week too. Same issue as Forza "We oversold, here's $20 bucks." Now I get to buy it on Amazon for $40 more...

Hopefully it doesn't feel like a cheap piece of crap like the last couple instances of the original...

I read it as "THIS". Not exactly a great impression, but not quite as bad, from a design standpoint, as Gap.

Not with two accidents under its belt.

I was logged in, and able to add/associate an email address. However, password reset is still failing for me. Is there any hope?

My grandmother-in-law has a mikan farm in Kyushu and, let me tell you, those tangerines taste better than any I've eaten anywhere else.

@ClingingMars: It is when you're talking about a public shaming process that is ingrained in the system that ruins peoples lives. That aspect of Japanese media is no different whether you're fucking an ojiisan or doing lines off a hookers ass.

I'm getting sick and tired of the Japanese media jumping all over people and basically attempting to ruin their lives. And I thought the witch trials over celebrity drug use were bad. Ok, Oshio I can understand, given that someone died (as unlikely as an Ecstasy-related death is...). But this is getting out of…

I'm honestly not sure I would ever buy another Roku after having the wireless die out on me after a year and a half of use. That, plus their continued issues w/ Netflix connectivity have me looking at GoogleTV or Boxee instead.

@TheSolarKnight: There's also the very real concern about piracy and flat out theft of Japanese IP once it reaches China. Granted, all of these games can be purchased and imported (and likely are by various tourists and piracy operations), but until there is some sort of guarantee and acknowledgement of IP rights and…

Why would you subject us to this bit of non-news? Watching this is watching the GOODNESS of gaming subculture die as it is whored out for overhyped, overacted, unreal "reality" programming.

@Ryanosaurus Rex: There was just so much good material there. I'm really hoping Mike Judge is able to capture the old spirit of that show with the new episodes that are supposedly coming out.
