I think that all of the current-gen controller designs are really comfortable to hold.

All three companies have done a great job.

That is the worst advice.

I am of the opinion that salt is nature's life blood.

On a completely unrelated note, I frequently suffer from internal bleeding.

You should really be using a compass for drawing your circles.

I suppose you can use a protractor if you trace around the edges, but you're only going to be able to draw circles in one size.

They're obviously saying lose some weight.

I'm 167cm tall, and weigh 50kgs.

Note: To any ridiculous country that still uses the imperial system, I'm 6 foot 6 and 110 pounds.

My friend came back to this city after an extended absence the other day. We talked over coffee and caught up as the following day he was to return to the city he had previously moved to.

This was all swell and everything, but then something interesting happened. He gave me a birthday present. My birthday was some time ago, but as I had not seen this person for over 7 months he was not present for it.

The present he gave me consisted of this:

A shiny see-through blue sack around thirty centimetres in length, 15 centimetres in width, filled to the brim with tiny sized Pinky bars. The bag was wrapped with around 50 metres of purple ribbon, and the ribbon was tied in a bow.

Is he, or is he not, trying to insinuate something?

A picture of the chocolate bar for those uninformed...

It's called Lucky Number Slevin.

Lucky.

Number.

Slevin.

I remember seeing the trailer for the movie a while back, and all I could think about was the name.

Lucky Number Slevin.

What were they thinking?

It's clever, and it's well animated.

Stop acting like there wasn't any effort put into it, people.

She's a waitress, she does not make a lot of money.

If I were in her position I would totally be trying to get as much money as possible from every customer I served.

Who's to say that Zone didn't imagine them to be 18+ in the situation that he's drawn them in?

They look old enough that you could reasonably say that they're 18+.

Illegality only comes in when the characters are obviously prepubescent, otherwise there's a very easy defence of "but your honour, these characters are 18+. They may not be that in the show, but this isn't the show. This is my animation, and my animation depicts what happens to them when they all turn 18+."

What are you talking about?

The dollar sign is used in more countries than just the US. It's also used here. The thing is that you could have easily checked whether or not I lived in the US through my profile, but instead you jumped to the conclusion that I was an idiot (which, in fact, I'm not.) If you had thought before you posted, you would not have come off as prejudicial without cause.

And geez, no need for profanities.

You really have to stop and think before you post, sometimes. It would do you a world of good.

Somebody names a number that would be ridiculous as a price for a video game in the United States. Perhaps there's a reason for this.

PERHAPS THEY'RE NOT LIVING IN THE BLOODY UNITED STATES. THERE'S A WORLD OUTSIDE OF THERE, AND I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE HEARD TALK.

I was wanting to get it, until I realised that the cheapest I could get it for is $140.

What the hell? I'd never pay that much for a video game.

I'll just play Guilty Gear for now.

Metal Gear Solid is far too full of bullshit pseudo-philosophy.

The story is good but, man, some of the writing is so bad.

It looks like an attempt to create a shitty meme.

Young teenagers usually don't have the money to get all three consoles so they'll settle on getting just one of them.

Because the other two are locked off to them, they have to constantly reassure themselves that they made the right choice, and that their console was the one to buy.

This becomes such a strong feeling that any mention of the worth of the other consoles becomes a shock to their little world, and they have to vent their anger in order to restore balance, and once again convince themselves that they have made the right choice.

As stupid as this idea is, the idea of a game with a car named 'The Manhuntermobile' is pretty sweet.

Does 'graphics' include the art style of a game? Because the art in a game really matters to me.

I don't want to be playing games that look ugly. That's the exact reason why I didn't play Lunar: Silver Star Story for the PSX despite how good it apparently is.

Art is especially important in RPGs, where I should be wanting to explore their environments. If the environments aren't aesthetically appealing, then I would not want to explore them.

Graphics technology matters, sure, but not so much as the way in which it is applied. You can have a game with awesome graphics but terrible art direction (read: most shooters.)

You know what? I have absolutely no idea how I came across it.

All I remember is watching an episode of Justice League, and now it's three hours later and my head is filled with useless knowledge.

I have discovered a site more addictive than Wikipedia.

TV Tropes

On Wikipedia, you're able to understand articles because you're not an idiot and you can understand the English language.

On TV Tropes, articles are made up of concepts that are largely made up on the site, so the ideas behind them will likely not be known to a person viewing the site. In addition to this, each article uses another article to explain what the article is trying to articulate. So to understand one article, you're going to have to read another article, and to understand that one, you have to read another, and before you know it it's 3AM and you've spent hours learning about nothing.

Unfortunately, the articles that are on the site are actually interesting and/or funny to read, so you'll be drawn in to begin with.

And it will never end.

Oh geez, this club is dead.

I was at the video rental today, and I spied in the festival section of the new releases 'The Girl Who Lept Through Time.' I'd been wanting to see this film for a while, so I coughed up the five dollars (the most I have spent on renting a movie in some time) and sat down to watch it.

Wow that was a movie that took a long time to get going.

It's a lot like Groundhog Day, both in the premise, and the way that the main characters use their newfound talents to do a lot of comedic things before things get more dramatically involving. The problem is that the comedy portion of The Girl Who Lept Through Time really goes on way too long, and starts to get a little boring.

Of course the second half really was great, though. It made up for the first (even if the ending did go on for a little longer than I felt that it should.)

The animation of the movie was significantly unimpressive, though.

All in all, a good movie.

How can you say he will 'always be the king of pop?'

You know you can't predict music trends over the next, I don't know, eternity.

You often feel emptiness and hopelessness.You feel barren.You sometimes feel emptiness or despair, and feel disconnected from reality.You strive for achievement.

If Nathan Fillion is not cast as Nathan Drake...

Well, they just better cast Nathan Fillion as Nathan Drake.

Anyone else would be a crime.

I am currently hoping for Fragile to come out in PAL regions.
