Whole picture is kind of cool and horrible all at the same time.

I didn't think they could make Cloud any more emo. I might owe someone a dollar.

And then, on the top of the heap of broken, dying game studios, stood a lone figure stood beaming amongst the corpses. Its grin was wide, toothy, and menacing. It's eyes glared red, shining defiantly past it's shadowed visage. It only spoke one word, quick and fast, like a bolt from the past - like from its long-gone…

Mario & Sonic & the Demi Fiend would be more entertaining. Also, potentially gory.

Probing as many sensory organs each gamer has as possible.

That's fair. The AH was the one thing I liked best about D3 at the start (since the cash shop hadn't opened yet, and all the other launch debacle issues aside). But naturally that would be when the market was more 'natural' and before the Farmers could get things started.

Though I've not played D3 in a while I kinda hope the in-game currency auction house will remain. While it's true the cash auction house was a laughably-terrible idea, I found the gold type to be very convenient. Instead of having to mindlessly farm/grind for hours killing the same enemies over and over in hopes of a…

You know, that usually bugs me too. But here it seems really interesting. Almost refreshing? Maybe because I don't read a lot of X-Men, or American comics in general.

Sometimes old guys have the best stories. Hanging out with my dad and his friend Lefty at their VFW always promised for interesting tales.

Interesting article, and no easy answers.

OH GOD AN UNMEMORABLE INXS SONG NOOO *headsplode*

Soooooo, from this preview I guess, it's a stew pot of part Heavy Metal, a dash of Excel Saga, and add some Bebop-ish season.

It just sounds like nobody has figured out how to manage a high-profile online launch right. Or that no one is trying to find out how to in the first place.

Well, we already had Mukuro Naru Hoshi, Tama Taru Ko aka Naru Taru aka Shadow Star, which was phenomenal and horrible and wonderful. Though it ended super-abruptly, almost as if Mohiro Kitoh was done making it (talking about the actual Japanese finale, not Dark Horse's '... we're not printing any more of this').

It all sounds decent-ish. It might, maybe, MAYBE one day get me to play again, when this expansion is cheaper, and then on sale. I'm still too burnt/bummed out by D3 to really feel motivated to give it more attention any time soon.

We now need a YouTube Slideshow of all these, set to the pace and tune of Ode to Joy.

Japanese Gene Simmons... not quite the performer. Maybe he needs more kabuki makeup?

It's more 'Suti-bu Jobusu', but fair enough xD
