@Xagest: Yeah...also, the fact all the titles look the same means the smaller articles and one-liner news bits are tough to distinguish from the bigger/headliner ones. Picture size also helped with that a lot, not to mention the quickly eye-catching icons like the next PSN releases or the TAY pages.

This third episode was kind of terrible, even relative to the previous two. I think I may be done with it outright...I'll stick with these recaps if anything.

@fuchikoma: Ugh. Then they go on to rerelease the decent FFIV and run it into the ground for decades without even considering an FFV or FFVI remake/rerelease. GAAAAAAH.

@Chicken Pawks: You're a far braver man than I. Godspeed!

@joeyoeyoeyo: Fair enough; it was a bit...all out in its attack.

@Chicken Pawks: Hahah I can imagine a pickup line like:

@Wolfbullet: IQ doesn't account for knowledge of statistics and the definition of outliers, I guess. :]

Though Jay Chou is genetically Chinese, I think "Taiwanese pop star" is a less confusing way to locate where he's famous from.

@joeyoeyoeyo: I'm pretty sure no astronomers or astrophysicists (e.g., the guys doing actually doing useful scientific work while observing stars and cosmic phenomena) feel put out when people crap on astrology. I think they'd be more offended that you think the two categories are any more than tangentially related at…

@SanitysKill3r: I liked some of their published games, and for devved games, I loved Valkyria Chronicles (even the sequel...they'd better bring the 3rd over).

@spraynpray: From the article:

@d_r_e: I think it's referring to "slash fic" (aka slash fiction), or more accurately, people who write slash fic. Hence "ficcers".

@Obi_Al_Kenobi: Yeah, okay, but the comparison and context of the article is "everyone else at CES only has games on display to sell hardware", which is pretty much true. Compared to that, Capcom could easily be considered more game-centric than the rest (or at least the vast majority).

On the dodging faster than light weapons (or dodging lasers, as would be more accurate) in Star Wars: it turns out their laser cannons aren't actually lasers.

@Jezuz: I guess I'd always thought of the stubborn pride as common among a lot of cultures. It was more the shaming and deathly fear of embarrassment that I'd attribute to Eastern beliefs, and I always considered it one of its weakest points.

@pixelsnader: Yeah, exactly what I was saying in the io9 version of this article!

@Jezuz: "They are an incredibly intelligent gifted people, but they refuse to admit they are wrong, and will kill a billion people on the wrong course they are going down rather than save one on the right course that they refuse to admit is correct."

@The_Sporean_Bob: No, it doesn't at all. It sounds paradoxical, but it's not.

@Jester21: I mean, faith in the medicine is basically the same thing that causes the placebo effect, so you don't get an extra boost by thinking it's also a placebo.

This is rather awesome.
