I think they would make people spend more than $30 to unlock the Dikachu puzzle.

Once I saw the kind of sales Atlus put on, I felt silly for buying SMT IV on release for $50. (Though it was still worth it). Recently I've gotten Persona Q for $20, though I haven't had time to get around to it. And that was roughly a year after it came out. Hopefully I can snag EOU II for around the same price next…

What's with Pokemon and "Free to Start" games recently? I tried Rumble World but really just lost interest fairly fast.

1. You know, losing hours of progress shouldn't bother me. I mean, I do self-imposed permadeath challenge runs of Pokemon. I sometimes get near addicted to TOME. I've played other roguelikes too. But playing Dark Souls felt like running on a treadmill, as I frequently would die multiple times, and lose souls before I…

Oh! Damn, I already allocated my video game money for this month though. Definitely sometime next year when my list of things to buy tapers off a bit.

Boss fight with non standard boss battle music is like half the reason to play JRPGs. (Starts humming Battle on the Bridge from Final Fantasy V)

I can see why people appreciate Dark Souls, but when I played it, I just got too frustrated. I was never really able to pick up on the intricacies of combat, and so I quickly felt like it was like a grind, except unlike other games I wasn't even gaining the illusion of progress through the grind.

Fire Emblem is starting to have a trend where they get weird with objectification. (As in there's stuff in Awakening and Fates that has stuff they've avoided doing before. Like really poor female armor design). I'm really not sure what is up with it.

I always minimize the amount of grinding I do, even if it makes the game significantly tougher. And it annoys me when I look up for advice online and it recommends that I'm at some absurd level. No, I'm not going to have jobs mastered in FFV before the halfway point, tell me another way to get past this!

If only I could justify dropping $50 on something off of GOG. (I mean I'm willing to, but I just know there's going to be a juicy 50% off minimum sale one day)

As much as some people will complain about instant gratification, I think bloated gameplay can be a problem too. Unsurprisingly the older I get, the less I'm willing to deal with things that cause what should be a 30 hour game to be 60 hours.

That's the plan! Damn Disqus.

Yeah the insult towards the reviewer (was the slur really necessary?) the fact that you linked to some video instead of summarizing your own posts and the fact that you're spamming the comments section up and down is not endearing me to your case.

Ah, this is not encouraging to hear. I've been on a bit of an open world game spree what with alternating between playing Fallout 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition. And I was really looking forward to having such a game on the Wii U.

Wii U recs? I guess it depends on the games you like.

Fuck Trump so much. I mean I guess there has always been a large group of assholes in America. But I don't know. It feels like he's emboldening them. One of my friends made a comment about how horrible Trump has been on social media last week. Long story short I ended up in a conversation with a Trump supporter who…

It's been fifties and raining here where I am in Maryland. Didn't snow when I was back home in New York, but it did get down to the thirties.

I brought it up because Zelda II was the game I was playing this time of year last year. And which is why I switched that to "giving a blowjob". I assume people are better at me in video games.

Thermodynamics and an Introduction to Thermostatistics by Herbert Callan. Reading for entertainment? What's that? There is only thermochemistry.

I'm not nearly as much of a bishouen as my profile picture is. (I'm also a redhead instead of a blond, not able to cast magic, and lacking in the jet black armor department. I can make a really smug face though!)
