Why does this need crowdfunding? If Capcom aren't footing the bill themselves, why did they partner with a designer who can't afford to put it out? Big AAA company like that asking for money seems a tad sketchy to me.

Ahhhhhhh I shouldn't go here because I'm hella allergic to fur, b-b-b-but all the caaaats

But there are references to the popsicle having been in that state for a long time, rather than just like a few months. It seems more likely that the popsicle is a member of the Watch from a much earlier time.

I thought the online consensus was that the popsicle couldn't have been Benjen - too old.

Spoiler for what, the second episode of the first season? It's not exactly a huge revelation.

So they've come to Beijing, huh? I missed out on doing one of these in London before I moved away, so it sounds tempting... but my spoken Chinese is still way too rusty, and I'm not a great puzzle-solver at the best of times, haha.

Hair-shaming is the new fat-shaming. You disgust me more than my hair disgusts you.

Ok maybe just a little less.

I really hope FF8's The Landing is finally given the recognition it deserves. My absolute favourite battle theme from the game, and up there for franchise all-time fave, too. Yet... it never gets acknowledged at all. It wasn't a track in Dissidia, it didn't get a level in Threatrhythm, and it's never been redone on a…

Japanese RPGs are not called that because of anything to do with the setting. Most aren't set in Japan. They're also called Console RPGs at times - it's more of a genre-marker than anything else. It refers to RPGs, whether made in the West or in Japan, that follow the genre models set out by early Japanese RPG makers…

You're not an investor - you're a donator. You're donating to give them the power to attempt their project, and sometimes you get freebies in recompense should they prove able to supply them.

Haha, I just bought a Vita a week ago. AH WELL. Still, this model is promising and if I'd known I may have held out for it.

I'm heartbroken that TWEWY didn't make it onto either the 20 or your What's Missing lists! Is it really that obscure? The thing is a masterpiece.

Ni no Kuni's main appeal is that is scratches an itch for people who have already played all the essential JRPGs (and a fair few inessential ones) and wish that the kind of 90s JRPGs they fell in love with were still being made. I wouldn't recommend it to newcomers to the genre - there're far better titles out there…

That's a weird idea about Kickstarter. Like with any other place you put your money, you just have to thoroughly investigate anything that interests you, and weigh up risks and payoffs. I've yet to be disappointed by any of the projects I've funded - in fact, there's plenty I wish I had funded (Shadowrun Returns, FTL,…

Man, the LocoRoco aesthetic is so good. They were pretty fun, unconventional platformers with some nicely tucked-away secrets, too. The first is probably one of the best early PSP titles (before that brief glory-years period with FFT:WOTL, Crisis Core, P3P, etc, at least).

The DLC Characters? Hells to the yes. Please keep adding at least until we get old JoJo from Part 3 and Stroheim + Lisa Lisa from Part 2!

Additional items and crap? Blech.

F2P can be great - but they need to be pro-consumer. So many anti-consumer F2P games (pay to not only win but pay to even enjoy yourself) have been released recently, so sure, people hate on them. But F2P games that keep paid content non-abusive, not tied to shortcuts that motivates the developer to make the rest of…

Nah, I've funded plenty of awesome stuff in the past few months. The Honeymoon period where any piece of shit or any idealist's dream would be funded (the Ouya, are you serious?) is over, and that's a good thing. Stuff like Chroma Squad and Satellite Reign still get funding, and that's what Kickstarter should be for.

Or where it's taken as read that a guy who says they like LoL (for example) is a LoL fan, but women who say so must somehow PROVE it or else they are fakers, there to suck up all that precious nerd attention.

Gaming used to be the haven for the excluded, but as soon as it picked up a little popularity, people started…

There's an Underground City in Beijing, was built as a precaution against a bombing of the city. It fell into disrepair through disuse, and was officially closed to tourists just before the Olympics - but the entrances are in people's yards, or in their basements, so a few savvy locals will let you in for a fee, or…
