Well they already do this. The best example is Crunchyroll which allows you to access anime either free with ads and in standard definition or pay for ad-free HD anime that comes out on the same day as it airs in Japan. I paid for Crunchyroll for a year and it was great. I'm just not sure that new seasons of anime…

This is awesome! However, if you don't need that much garlic at a time, you can easily peel individual cloves with something like this

Or you could get one of these and do the same thing

Yes the music does let you focus on the game but for certain gamers like myself who have spent so long focusing on the music in game, I am pulled out of the game by how bland the "music" is. While playing Skyrim I mostly crawled through dungeons while listening to epic film scores and it made the game a lot more fun.…

If the special cable doesn't work, you can always try to get a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter). I think by noise you are referring to interference sounds that come from the various components in between the signal and the headphone jack. I had the same problem on my laptop using the built-in sound jack. There are…

Except 90% of the rest of the score is ambient to the point of non-musicality. The main theme is fantastic and sounds great with their full choir, but there isn't a lot of other quality music in the game.

The samples used on the score for Dragon Age 2 in place of an orchestra were so bad that I had to play the game on mute most of the time. It was ironic because right around that time I also listened to the soundtracks from The Last Story and Final Fantasy XIV (both scored by Uematsu) and they used similarly terrible…

Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are probably two of the best soundtracks of this generation, and both fitting great games. I haven't gotten to play Ni no Kuni yet but considering the amazing orchestral stuff I heard from the DS soundtrack is mostly being used in the PS3 version as well, that might even have a chance to…

XIII had a fantastic soundtrack but as represented in game was not very good. They picked the most annoying tracks for the dungeons (except for a few decent ones) so you had to hear the worst tracks over and over. On the other hand, the few amazing tracks (big orchestral/choral stuff) were mostly used in cutscenes.

I wholeheartedly support the idea of Hummus as the best replacement for some other crazy dips you are used to eating with your chips. Start with the red-pepper or garlic hummus (garlic heavy hummus has additional lovely health benefits) and try eating it with pita chips. Assuming you have a store close to you that…

My rule with sweets is I don't eat anything unless it is so amazing I am almost orgasming while eating it. You know what desserts those are that make you feel that way. I apply this same rule to a lot of things. If the thing I am eating isn't so good it satisfies one of my many cravings, I should probably find…

To some extent though I think including the bestbuy logo on the side of the ad suggests to customers that they are the ones putting up the banner. I highly doubt consumers would be confused and think that Gamestop would tell them to avoid trading in games to them especially when they ask you to trade in your games…

No, but he is nerdy enough to appreciate my obsession. I showed him some footage of Skyrim before it came out so he knew what I was doing. I then showed him some of the game once I had it.

I love this article so much because the suggestion for a piece claiming Skyrim supports gay sex is right there in the title. My boyfriend and I joked early and often when I told him I was playing Skyrim that I was really Skyrimming, so much that it was the only way i referred to my gaming time.

Well another thing though, unless the game gives you a sexual orientation selection when you are making your character, the game has no way of knowing what way you roll until you get married. I for one never encountered any of the in-game marriage in my short travels in Skyrim and didn't really seek them out due to…

Right on! After years of people needing me to give them lists to know what to get me, my boyfriend thinks he has me figured out enough to get me something without any suggestions. I am waiting patiently to see what he comes up with ;) I can always give him a list the next time if he doesn't figure it out this time.

Yeah, there was certainly some room in the game for party choice. I realized this when I posted on my friend's post about FFXIII complaining about how buffs were mandatory in late game. She replied that she never used buffs at all and I couldn't believe it. Just goes to show you that different character groups can…

See that actually sounds better. If you have a set party then it is easier for those characters to be designed as the core characters instead of you having a larger group to choose from. In any event, for a large part of FFXIII you are given very little choice on who is in your party at any given time, until you…

Well if you like rifles you can always play Valkyria Chronicles and maybe Resonance of Fate has rifles as well, at least it has guns. I haven't played Resonance of Fate though, and it got some mixed reviews.

Keep an eye out for Ni no Kuni, Tales of Graces F and Tales of Xillia. I know what you mean though, outside of Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey and Tales of Vesperia we have had a pretty blah set of games. Yet despite this companies can't get it into their heads that maybe they should release Xenoblade in the US.
