When you break it down an entire 2% of the first gen Pokemon were puddles of goo. 2 entire percent. I find that funny. Amazing how people's nostalgia goggles work, isn't it?

People commit suicide because they are desperate and see death as their only option to escape the pain and desolation in their lives. Japan has a high suicide rate because people work 80 hour work weeks for no other reason because societal expectations, people even the slightest bit different are maligned for not…

The sad part is a lot of people demand literal translations even if they won't make sense when put into their native language. I had an ulcer when Yen Press translated a part of Poe's 'The Raven' instead actually using Poe's 'The Raven'. They used a literal translation instead. But people think if it's not literal,…

True, but that's life.

Federally speaking, it's illegal to tell a woman breastfeeding in public to leave or force her to cover up. However, it still happens a lot and a lot of people have a cow when a woman does it. Usually a business that is caught doing it gets sued for discrimination and protested, but then there are counter protesters…

Pretty much in any urban areas cats don't bother with rats because even a rat that isn't that large has the ability to kill a cat. Mega rats like this would probably go after cats for food.

Well, technically it is. A Sephiroth is a type of Angel in Kabbalic mysticism. So for non-gaming fans they might just assume that the family is Jewish.

I'll admit the EMS versions are pretty easy. I've S leveled Ultimate for Isn't it Wonderful? the first time I tried. Mostly One-Winged Angel is being the bane of my existence right now.

I'm thrilled too. I just recently got the first game and it's all I've been playing. The fact that there is going to be a sequel with 200 songs makes me super excited. My one request is that there is an inbetween mode between Basic and Expert. Basic was too easy and then you move up to Expert and it's like my hand…

Can we talk about how fucking wicked the Tyranosaur Pokemon are? I swear, if one Genwunner tries some bullshit, I'm showing that boss motherfucker down his throat.

Damn, I had no idea. Methinks it's time for me to shut down my own account then.

Thankfully our sale was much smaller, but she stopped using Ebay and paypal after her experience as well. That plus ebay has fees out the ass.

Paypal used to be a very reliable system for online transactions, but more and more it seems like they're being the scam rather than preventing the scams. I mean, my mom's had issues with bullshit before, like giving a person a refund without our permission (we sent a package, two weeks after our return period the guy…

Yeah, I think you're right. They came out at about the same time on TV in the US and both had 'mon' so people assumed one ripped off the other. Digimon started out as a gigapet type thing you could fight with, Pokemon started as a gameboy game emphasizing collection. Two very different animals. And even today in Japan…

If you like rhythm games, absolutely. The game is a good challenge and there's lots of stuff to unlock and the instramentation of the FF songs are really high quality. I got the game last week and it's pretty much all I've been playing.

This is a really beautiful looking game, I really have high hopes for it since JRPG has turned into a dirty word, hopefully this game will shave some of the stigma off of it.

That's a really good summary of the two styles of games. I tend to lump all RPGs together since when you try too hard to define it like a lot of people do, you start to realize that while at face value it seems really distinct, when you break it down there are tons of games (even today) that break these so-called…

And yet, in every Harvest Moon game ever your character can literally get drunk and have a hangover and each of those games is E rated. ESRB, you make so little sense.

I laughed so hard at that part. God Atelier Iris was such a charming game.
