Sadly I wasn’t aware that was even a thing until your message. No, my username predates the fanfiction by nearly a decade. When we were watching the show on VHS in the late 90's, a friend joked that I was some kind of mini Gendo. As he was my favorite character from the show I just decided to run with it.

Why is a New 3DS recommended to experience the 3D effects? Are they not present when viewed on an old 3DS?

I have been waiting to watch this until I get my blu-ray copy as a backer reward. It’s been a while.

The current user retention gimmick smacks of a certain amount of desperation. It is also, as noted in this article, not being carried out particularly well. From my personal experience, user support is pretty terrible. None of these things seem, to me, like a game that is in good health. But then, I’m not a market…

So the reason I went back to it was that they changed the XP rates for the Character story quests (as a way of getting new characters to the new content faster). It is now feasible, apparently, to just do character specific quests with no grinding until you run out of the original storyline. These rates may only hold…

Prompted by an earlier article announcing the episodic content, I signed back up for TOR with the intent of ignoring the new stuff and just finishing up the original single player storylines (because honestly it sounds like the game may not be around too much longer). I started a new character, and noticed an oddity…

While a cool demonstration of a glitch, I found myself hoping Chell would end up in Antichamber.

I don’t know if this is actually the case but the reports I’ve read indicate that while you can choose a number of different resolutions, it will always only actually display the same one, regardless of your choice.

Anime shading of 3d models has progressed quite a bit.

I’m certain it’s a complicated issue with numerous factors behind it. In general, I find deletion edits made in the name of localization to be crudely done (see for example, Persona 1) with poorly thought out justification. For example, if a translated version of the product is not available without the edits, how…

The developers did a demo at a small local comic con in November, and I got to play it there. From my limited experience, it’s a strange game. It wants to be like Destiny with an open world, but you are so much more fragile (which I assume is a nod towards realism). At the same time, the realism is undermined by the…

I’ve always wanted to do one of these. They look like fun!

I was a huge fan of 3, myself.

They did actually. Legends 2 and 3 were remade for the DS. Sadly they weren’t brought to the US.

Too rich for my blood. At around half the price I might have considered it.

That was quite a long way to go for a typo. I wholeheartedly approve.

Years and yeats ago, I got a used copy of Grandia Xtreme for the Holidays. When I loaded it up, I discovered that it was the extras disk for Spiderman 2. Here’s the fun part: it was a printed disk, with a silk screened label. Either someone went through a lot of trouble to make a convincing looking knockoff disc, or…

Ah that explains it. At one point I appeared to have admin rights, I guess I got bounced into a privileged account by accident.

That was my first thought when the matter was mentioned, but internet searches don’t seem to back it up. Mind you, none of the sources are particularly firm, but what I’ve seen indicates it’s more than the four is death belief.

Curious about the 4 fingers example, I looked into it. Two reasons are often given: it’s either felt to be a Yakuza reference, or a reference to historical discrimination against a subset of the Japanese population who worked with meat and other animal products. The later example is more often cited. Interestingly, it…
