Don't tell me board games are restricted there, too!

@slotter: Agreed. It was kinda like a pleasant sandbag wall. Tim's are kinda like, well, the Great Wall of China.

@Decoy_Doctorpus: Are you sure we read the same comment? I found it very calm, intelligent, and thought-out. Kotaku could certainly use more comments of that caliber, especially in those particular articles where half the posters were saying "ha ha, serves those trolls right" and the other half "stfu, we want our…

Reicheru, bravo on your comment. So many people were throwing around "serves the trolls right" and "stop whining, grow a pair" without even attempting to understand the vast implications of such a move. I'm really glad you were able to provide a thorough explanation.

@DasMonsterOhneNamen: Yeah, I think it was for a pregnancy. The stand-in voice actor was really bad. Not only did he/she not sound like Chopper, but the acting was just low-quality overall.

I couldn't care less about the yellow rat, but the voice of Chopper sure would be a sad day. It's a role that's uniquely hers and would be difficult to replace, if not impossible.

@Yankton: Looks good enough to eat. Great work!

@Manly McBeeferton: He either gets stomped or sliced. Can't catch a break, that guy.

@Eidderf_3: I'm not disagreeing with him, simply asked him for his opinion. Kinda bad form to say "not really" and then offer nothing else.

@uruzu.2: Well, if you're gonna bring CG stuff into the equation, yeah, Lasseter is pretty damn awesome. Or anyone at Pixar, for that matter—anything they touch turns to gold.

@Perequin: Most anime looks pretty bland, but it does have its gems—Shinichiro Watanabe's works, for example.

@F3ARL3SS: His legacy lives on! In our hearts...Kingdom Hearts.

@Daobaz: You have a point, part of the charm of DQ is its characters. Still, interactions with townspeople and story characters are always fun. Thanks for the tip!

@ttocs: As expected! Thanks for the reply.

@Chard: I am not a vegetable: Dude! Final Fantasy Legend II is one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Still pop it in once a year or so. I really, really hope Square brings the remake over. I've heard good things about it.

@Grimwood: Who would you say is better?

So, anybody snag Dragon Quest IX yet?

@Cooking Utensil: Agreed on all counts. From what I heard, the US had very high viewership for its games, especially vs England. The future of American soccer looks promising!

@Rakchief: Definitely. I think Korea had better play overall, but Uruguay scored some good goals.
