  • ??? I am lazy, please explain.
  • Yeah, seriously, lack of fire Pokemon in that game PISSED ME OFF. I tried using a Ponyta, I really did... but it just never grew into anything worthwhile. Luxray roxored my briefxors, though.
  • Hey, out of curiosity, what game(s) is everyone currently playing? Right now I'm running through Shadow of the Colossus again, and starting Fallout... I'm thinking that after I finish Shadow (which will happen very soon, the game is like 3 hours long once you've gone through it once) I'll start a Dark Cloud 2 file and keep…
  • The original is on PS2, though I'm not sure how easy it's going to be to find, or how expensive. The sequel is easy to find, and the gameplay is identical except for a few things they've fixed up here and there. The story is nearly disposable in the first game (I think, others may disagree) so if you just want an SRPG with…
  • Disgaea. It's a wonderfully open SRPG with a prominent humorous side. You can do almost anything with your characters, the level cap is INSANELY high... it's all about having fun. I recently introduced Ryan (Serephel) to the PSP version (which is the original plus extra stuff), so he can attest to its greatness. I'm not…
  • Hey guys. I wanted to say thanks for keeping me interested for a year and a half. It doesn't seem like I've been here that long... damn. Here's to several more entertaining and informative years. You guys (and girls) rock.
  • (Double post!! 4 days old!!) The amount of SCIENCE! in my life has dramatically increased.
  • Oh silly geoko, making us think those game names are links and disappointing us.
  • I quite liked Torterra as well. He's one of my Pearl badasses.
  • Okay, here's a stab, but I'm sure it could be broken down quite easily, so please do so. Anyway, I think the only way to make Hamelin's statement true is if you define art as "anything that stimulates the pleasure center in our brain and is not directly related to survival." Most of the things we do outside of our need for…
  • .....wow. That made me sad....I think that is a good example. It's not a sweeping narrative or anything, but it certainly made me feel.. implicated. Good call, Mario.
  • I don't think the potential is limited though.... I think the potential could be amazing. It could get the player involved in an intimate way, which could affect that person so much more deeply. Also, I think there have been some games that have made baby steps toward artistic merit... Shadow of the Colossus gets the…
  • No, I don't think ALL games are art, either. I'm saying that the medium has potential. And kukopanki, why do you think video games cannot be art? I wonder if we're using art the same way. I also consider profound books, movies, paintings, sculpture, and graphic novels to be art, because each is capable of conveying a…
  • Damn, I guess Asia's the place to be this year.
  • A game where you have to look up how to make your character to succeed? That sounds like poor game design to me.
  • Dobson is best known as the host of a radio show, "Focus on the Family." It's a conservative Christian show that upholds the a Christian lifestyle and denounces anything that goes against it. It has also been charged with distorting data to further its goals. Their main thing is trying to prevent homosexuality from…
  • I think I may get it... like the Wii, I always jump at the opportunity for something to give it some use. And I do love FFIV. *sigh*
  • I think this is a mixture of amusing and fucked up... amusing because of the way Dobson twists what Obama says, but fucked up because Dobson is pretty influential.
  • Yeah, I played the GBA version of FFI and my head almost exploded from the massive amount of MP they gave mages early on in the game. And they took away the badass Black Wizard sprite and made it totally gay... *sigh* I remember trying Tactics Advance and kinda not liking it, so you might not be the only one. But I should…
  • :objection: Final Fantasy games are among my favorites. I know there's a lot of numbers involved, but I think of it kinda like D&D. Besides, the storylines can be amazing; I am continually blown away by FFVI's storyline, and the collection aspect of every game gives me hours of enjoyment. I think of RPGs almost like stamp…
  • Well, I've never really noticed a huge difference between the basic brands. It's beer, and I find that any brand tastes good on tap. Only when you go more expensive have I noticed a difference. But I'm not a huge drinker so.... *shrug*
  • I agree with X'o'lore. I never worried about taking care of my cat but plants intimidate me.
  • I second that. I got a cat about six months ago (obviously you know this already, Ryan, but for the benefit of others) and she's been pretty easy to take care of. Just keep her litter box clean, feed and water her, and if she's acting funny, take her to the vet. And of course give lots of love and affection. It's not hard…
  • Awww, and I thought that this was completely random and original. Somehow knowing that it's just a rip-off makes it a bit less funny...
  • Wooo Happy Birthday, you crazy bastard! I know you like video games, so maybe you'll like this one.. I think it's kinda cool. Also, to fit in with the usual lighthearted theme of birthdays, here's a completely random comic. With dinosaurs.
  • So... the purchase pages at that site are not the most tidy I've seen... but soon I will be the proud owner of the paramecium shirt and the devil bones shirt. SCIENCE!!
  • Down with short hair. Shaving is good though. The necktie is another thing that baffles me. And that's where they started. I hates them.
  • I remember reading somewhere that advertising is the reason why women shave. Razor companies wanted to sell razors to women as well as men, so they started an advertising line that suggested that body hair on a female is unattractive. It probably then was picked up by a culturally fashionable group of women and became the…
  • Those shirts are AWESOME!! I'm definitely going to buy the "Teaching the Controversy" shirt with the devil burying bones, and I'll have to decide which SCIENCE! shirt I want...
  • Oh, that title is hilarious. Silly alliteration. But thank you, Serephel, this is the opposing viewpoint I was looking for. I mean, yeah, it might reduce fertility, and maybe it reduces the intensity of pleasure during sex, but honestly, I see those as good things. Furthermore, I feel like aesthetically a circumcised penis…
