Retail. I plan on getting as many RPGs for the PSP as I can, so I place a priority on getting them in the UMD, since I am saving the memory card space for saves, and possibly PSN copies.

Agreed. Anybody who claims to love tactics RPG MUST play this.

I was actually laughing when I read the comments in Gizmodo when they posted this. I especially liked this GIF image that I saw. I'm starting to think that, despite the hate on Olivia Munn that I've witnessed on the internet, there are still folks out there secretly waiting for this day to finally come.

I had a bit of a learning curve with Dragon Age: Origins. I guess I was in a BG2 state of mind when I started, but I found micro-managing my team mates to be quite challenging in a console game. So now I'm relying more on their scripted actions instead, modifying these as I see fit. Right now, I'm at the top floor of…

That show "Densha Otoko" was the show that got me started in watching J-Doramas. Also, I'll credit that show for introducing me to this cuttie.

1) Color me excited for Mass Effect 3. I am very wary with what I am reading here on Kotaku; every time I see the words "Mass Effect 3", or "ME3" at the opening lines, I quickly skip over to the next comment. I will not let spoilers ruin the game for me. Also, seeing as how there are ME3 spoilers running amok on the…

Good luck with the PSP RPGs. I actually bought a copy of Tactics Ogre last weekend (I got it for $10, and it is money well spent).

I remembered back when, after playing BG2, I played Icewind Dale 2 and felt that the game is missing that interaction between NPCs. I really liked the Edwin/Jaheira conversations that randomly pop up.

Yeah I've heard good things about the TV series of GITS. When it first came out, I was off the anime wagon, so I never got the chance to get into it. Lately though, I've found myself having some free time, so I'm getting back into anime and manga. Currently I'm watching Ben-To, an anime recommendation that I saw here…

To be honest, prior to becoming a lurker/semi-poster here in Kotaku, I did not really care that much for cosplay. Sure, I've heard of the sub-culture from before, but I simply dismissed it as an additional outlet for folks who are into anime/games/other interest.

I live here in NW suburbs of IL, and I saw the devastation from yesterday's tornado ripping through Harrisburg. Stay safe there!

Thanks for the heads up. I'm looking at Amazon right now for ME3 PS3, and it's going for US$59.99, with a $10 credit. I don't see any advantage on pre-ordering this at the moment, so I'll probably mosey over the store on day 1 and get it.

That is correct. Visual erotica has always been part of Japanese culture, hence their seemingly lack of subtlety when it comes to porn. If I remember it correctly, the only reason they digitize the male and female genitalia in their porn, is because they consider exposure of the pubic hair as a taboo.

I did not know Bryan Cranston was the English VA for Isamu Dyson (I saw Macruss Plus with subs). Thanks for this tidbit! :D

Ok, I'll rattle off some anime titles that comes from the top of my head, and stayed in memory. Hopefully, these titles are available in Netflix.

Yeah, it's the same here for me, at least for standard copies of the game. And sometimes, I see collector's editions on sale in a physical store days after the release date. I'm not really privy on the pre-order bonuses either. I guess, I'm simply looking for other reasons to pre-order a game instead of just walking…

This is actually my line of thinking at the moment. Extra digital stuff is not a true deal maker for me to start with. And, as much as I like the extra credit, I prefer a price reduction instead, since I don't really see anything that I'm dying to get on the immediate horizon. As far as delivery goes, however, that…

I'm posting here a question that I have been debating on for some time now.

Tentacle rape is merely a trend that started from way back in anime history. If you've been following anime trends during the 80's and 90's, you'll see that this is the prevalent form of anime porn, with titles like LA Blue Girl and Urotsukidoji as examples. Fetishes only play a minor role in the proliferation of this…

Hmm, I didn't know that wearing your airsoft loadout now constitutes cosplay. I guess I have something to wear now for conventions. ^.^
