Junkie ethics. The world turns on it.

thanks

I got the same vibe, and then I remembered that this is very real. How dissonant to act like a privileged white dude in a country with Wild West rules but still see your 'sanctuary' as a 'Rock of Love' setup where female jealousies are played out. MTV exploits such sociopathic tendencies in teenagers for lulz in a…

I was talking off realistic shooters in general and battlefield 3 in particular, whose plot was like Inception, i.e, non-existent, but thats a different rant about techno whizbangery and sensory overload replacing plots.

Its cool. I am tired of fantasy/post-apocalypse settings in RPG games. loved Mass Effect. Did you check out Jade Empire?

noted. I wanted to know if you would recommend it.

Still playing. 100 hrs +, including ME1.

OH MY MUTHAFUCKIN GOD! I am crushing so hard right now on that 'bandhgalla'.

Lovely post. It seems your professor was unaware of German expressionist cinema and the genesis of conventions in thriller/horror movies of depicting internal, psychological states. And then there is Tarkovsky.

I love high scores. Its usually a mark of game with good replay value and a sense of humour instead of grim hollywood narratives endemic in today FPSs who relegate good gameplay to multiplayer & reduce singleplayer campaigns are basically tutorial for multiplayer. I love Serious Sam because of this very reason.

Spoiler Alert: The North won.

Thats a lot of manga references I have no clue about... and I guess the second para is all american comics. Oh, I do know the melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and 2girls1octopus.

What are your thoughts on Risen?

True, true. The irony was that Japanese culture went 'crazy' (as the OP called it. I would call it postmodern) as patriotism was channeled into the corporate sphere and not military ambitions while America shaped it's foreign policies and military standing.

Sorry, but I was talking of a set of patriots who refuse to have a sense of humour about historical transitions and continue believing in manifest destiny, God and guns, etc. Gawker had posts about affirmative action and guns yesterday and the trolls were out in full force.

Ironic that it was US that shaped post-war reconstruction in Japan and made an outpost out of one of their islands and pacifists out of rest of them, dedicated to corporate profits in the name of national pride unlike the previous generation who were mowed down feeding Hirohito's meglomania.

I had to go find it. Like the best sushi, the octopus is alive during the shenanigans.

That was funny.

One hack praising another. I hope your vulgar display of enthusiasm is suitably recompensed.

Hehe.. missed that.
