Hey Japan! The way to fix your industry isn't to outsource to Western devs!!! Trust me... Be yourselves. Not saying you shouldn't look at the world around you, but just borrow from it, don't try to become it.

@Luke MacDonald: except interpol, I believe normal cops don't have guns.

@Pirandello: It was set in a fictional version of Japan. Japan doesn't really have firearms, either.

Speed Racer was awesome for what it was. Not masterpiece cinema, but pretty damned cool.

@surft: If there was a Narutaru movie that followed the manga reasonably well (for one movie, as a sequel would never be made) it would be... Well, It would be interesting.

@00000000: how about this, then?

@Toshi: WHy not? You get to play PS2 games on PS3, with memory card management and bluetooth remotes and upscaling, and it doesn't have to be built into the system for people who don't want it.

Good. Provided it's really small, I'll get one so I don't have to tremble in fear simply because my 60 gig may die. Of course, I'll lose 2 USB ports, but those are easier to replace...

@Shinta: memory cards. Just... memory cards. And wireless bluetooth controllers... But mostly... memory cards

@Dan2593: I know this isn't TAY and what I'm about to say is off the main topic, but my best Christmas was, by far, the one I got my Super Nintendo. My parents were anti-new system, because they had already had to give away an Atari I never played (since I was always on the NES) and were angry with Nintendo for not…

Too bad we won't see the hack where the panties and bra come off too until the day before the game launches officially, at which point it will be the only version available on torrents.

@00000000: Who is the boss?

Ah, my friend works at Aksys, but she's not in any of these pics... Darn it...

@Chewblaha: Yup. Like Super Street Fighter. That's why you always buy fighting games after the third one has come out, so you can avoid the roster update situation.

@Mentuss: How do you nominate posts again?

@reducks: Are you talking about the "resting time" article? It's not so much that they're being wasted for playing games, they're being wasted for doing ANYTHING that requires brain power when they should be resting (IE listening to music, reading books, playing games, watching TV when they should be closing their…

@Hello Mister Walrus: Perhaps, but I know from experience, I got worse in school when I started playing RPGs and stopped playing games like Megeman. It DID increase my desire to write, however.

I think the only game genres that don't improve some sort of skill are RPGs and other story based games. All action games improve reflexes, and some games improve problem solving.

So... European Kotakuites... Would this REALLY sell move better in Europe than Kevin Butler or someone similar would?

@DrakeDatsun: Rei was an OVA. It wasn't even shown on TV. But I guess the Umineko DVDs may be uncensored. Too bad none of the subs are using uncensored version, and it's not likely to come to the US any time soon, as Higurashi Kai never even came to the US, let alone Rei.
