But why the drive to ALWAYS "increase profitability," quarter over quarter? Why does it have to be more and more and more? Why can't we have a stable profit target and just stick with it? If a company is profitable, it is meeting its goals. Why does it always have to have MORE profit?

Greed. That's the only thing…

Yeah, I did remember that part about Buenos Aires. xD

YES! I did this one!

Holy carp, i never finished that one.

You seriously had to get lucky to kill one of those, even with the best gear.

It was crazy if you were dumb (or just unlucky) enough to use up all your MP so you couldn't just cast Return.

In that same game, I managed to rescue the princess from the green dragon at like level 7 and also managed to get Edrick's Sword at level 15-16 or so. It helped that it was my 3rd attempted play through; my…

Exactly this. xD

Dragon Warrior, 1993-4ish? Obtaining Erdrick's Armor at level 13, when the guide said you should wait until like level 17 or something. I had been reduced to 1 HP, 8 MP (I couldn't cast more, had to be able to use RETURN!), and had used all my herbs.. I had completely given up hope, so I just set my controller down…

Why is it "not enticing" to play in an open-world-ish game with pre-defined characters? Do you hate Grand Theft Auto, too? I bet you're going to HATE the new Zelda game...

Now Davy. You have to qualify that 'built like Samus Aran' statement. Would you be built like the tiny anime girl Samus (Other M, Smash Bros, etc) or like some of the excellent fan art that has made her look tall and buff, as she should be?

A team at Purdue University think they've found a solution, though it's not one that's going to please developers (or artists); seems inserting a digital nose in front of the player's helps cure most people's VR sickness.

I certainly do not notice my own nose in my field of view, but if I think about it I can look down and see the edges.

Is there a version in English? Also, the Macross didn't look like that when it crashed. It looked like an alien spacecraft. Emil Lang and the rest of the team who rebuilt it heavily modified it to look more identifiable as "human" so it wouldn't scare people.

Eh, who needs official releases nowadays?

There was singing in Macross too, though...?

That's funny, because I've been watching them. They've seen the light of day, just not by 'official' channels. And that's just fine; it punctuates a serious problem in copyright law. Maybe someday content creators/rights owners will figure it out.

"The West" already knows about all that Macross stuff. Do you think anime fans really care about HG or even "official releases" if they want to watch something?

Dude, this is the 21st Century. People who actually are THAT INTO anime don't wait for idiots from the West to bring it over. They never have. So who the hell cares what Sony and HG are doing?

I likely would have never gotten involved in anime had it not been for ROBOTECH, and never would have gotten involved with…

I just.. I get that it's cute that she says it. But god damn it people can be pointlessly annoying.

The only thing I have an issue with is how they're changing pre-established characters to be more diverse rather than creating new heroes.
