My advice to fellow American travelers who will be visiting Tokyo in the wake of this dip shit’s antics:

I’d love a remaster if for no other reason than I prefer to play the game with a gamepad and that is a carnival of nightmares on PC.

Wow. A 15 minute show every day for almost a year and a third? Is that supposed to be some unfathomably difficult thing?

I don’t disagree, but my partner, who is just 3 years younger than I am, has the N64 placed so squarely in the magic nostalgia zone that I can rationalize this trend.

As an adjunct to Japan kicking things off so well, I’d add that Yakuza finally getting somewhat of a foothold in the west was a really nice surprise. 2017-2018 have been an embarrassment of riches in terms of Yakuza, and I’m always glad to dig into another chapter of fine mafia melodrama.

I’ve said this in, like, 5 different comments today, buuuut....

I’m on board with this. The thief pretty concretely shows that there’s some element of a military industrial complex angle to the whole thing. Nothing ambiguous about it, the arms dealers are selling to both sides. So in my mind, Kylo Ren wasn’t really wrong about trying to convince Rey to do something new because at…

Leave it to these dipshits to call these 50-150 hour long games “not real games”.

It’s 100% based on circumstances. My partner and I were in the very privileged position where I worked at home and they were able to go on sabbatical for a few months. It was a lot of work, but I managed to squeeze in plenty of game time when the kiddo was napping, and my partner managed to blast through BoTW…

You allllmost touched on it, but I’m always amazed at how well Nintendo pulled off what Sony tried to do with the PSP and Vita, and how few people have talked about it. If I recall correctly, the marketing for Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core had a healthy dose of “epic console game in bite sized chunks” going on, and…

Wow, this perfectly encapsulates my experience with Okami, number of purchases and all. I guess there’s a reason why Tim is a professional video game expert.

I like the look a whole lot, though I will always miss texture swimminess as more games in the style of ~PS1 era inevitably come out.

This is all probably because Scott implied a salad bar preference in an interview.

THIS EXACTLY. I used the (sadly) now defunct JapanIPTV service which was GREAT because you could just download the videos from the DVR (I was archiving a bunch of stuff at the time).

My partner is a violinist and has AP. Great fun at parties when you can just name a video game song and then get to hear it on violin. AP + really good sight reading made for pretty spectacular Guitar Hero sessions back in the day as well. I had some roomates in college that I think legit resented it that my partner…

For thems who are interested in their other games, they’re al running a promo on the Exploding Kittens website for 15% off all their stuff.

I’m anxious to see how things turn out with our kiddo. We’ve had him in his own room from the beginning because my partner is a really light sleeper. He’s not quite a toddler yet, but he sure wants to get there as soon as possible (he is pulling up CONSTANTLY).

Sure... you’re not wrong, but that’s not the conversation we were having, which was about the memorability of alphabets. Since OP had not looked at hangul, I thought I’d mention that it’s less complex than it looks. Didn’t mean to imply anything else since I can neither read nor write it.

Believe it or not, Korean is a bit easier than even just one of the Japanese alphabets. Just 24 letters, though not quite in the way that you’d expect when you see it. When you see written Korean, you’re actually seeing combinations of the alphabet into syllables. So if you didn’t know anything about Korean, it…

Sounds like an excellent model! My partner has always been a bit jealous/miffed that I didn’t get one with a drying feature. Note to the folks who have womenfolk in their lives or who are womenfolk themselves: having a drying fan in there is a nice extra. If you are buying it for a home with a lady and are not a lady…
