Oh god, you're right.

Most adults nowadays will only have old photos to be embarrassed about, but we as a generation will have entire records of what we were when we were young.

It won't just be 'oh man, you thought that haircut looked good back then?', it will be 'oh man, your entire belief system back then was hilarious'.

That is terrifying.

Is Justin Bieber really such a big thing that people need to complain about him all the time?

I've only ever heard about him in complaints on the internet, and in passing off line. I've never encountered one of his songs anywhere.

Since I don't care about him, I've been ignoring him. It's very easy to turn your mind off Justin Bieber.

Oh god she looks like she's going to break in half.

Exaggeration is one thing, but that waist is just ridiculous.

Also, the torso I think is a bit too long. She looks a little like Goro to me. Without the extra arms.

Of course every other part of the picture is amazing. So I suppose that makes up for the minor faults.

Uh. Is this music different to American pop?

It sounds like the same thing, only in a different language. Though perhaps a little more 90s than current American pop.

It's mildly entertaining, but I feel weird about watching a show about high school girls now that I'm not in high school any more.

I'm supposed to be studying, but I decided to procrastinate by watching another episode of this show.

Turns out the episode I watched was about one of the characters failing a test because she was procrastinating too much.

Screw this show for making me feel terrible.

Well, they are good games. And they get good reviews.

People like them. So they buy the next ones in the series.

And so they decide, "This would make a great Christmas gift for Billy/Mom/myself." If it turns out Natal is actually usable, you can bet that a lot of people will buy 360s for their kids, or buy the expensive peripheral for the 360 already in the household.

Whether or not Move or Natal will sell to casuals won't have anything to do with how good they actually are. What really matters is the price and the advertising campaign.

Then you are operating under a flawed definition. That is to say, your definition of 'RPG' is wrong.

'RPG' as a video game genre means a game that has a large focus on stat building. That is the definition of 'RPG' as it applies to video games.

'Choice' has never been considered an integral part of 'RPG' games. 'Choice' is more or less a recent invention in the genre. The genre existed before choosing your path in a video game did.

I could say that the term 'RPG' means games that involve two dudes fighting crime, and then argue that a bunch of games don't fall under the definition.

Quick question:

Do you really think 'casual gamers' pay any attention to E3?

I take back everything I said last time about people not doing their art in the amount of time provided. Though I'm not sure if either of us actually did anything.

My votes:

1. Luxembourg and kernalphage present - GhostRider
2. Nekow and J-qb present - I've Got Bigger Fish to Fry
3. M-Vero and Mabelma present - They're Midgets

My brother is a web developer.

I constantly hear him complaining that people use Internet Explorer, when it is such a terrible browser to have to take into consideration.

Anime as a whole doesn't have trouble with anything, because it is far too disparate to talk of as a group. Individual anime might, while others might not.

In any case, refusing to play anything with an anime aesthetic will just make you miss out on some great gems like Final Fantasy VII, or Star Ocean 2.

I don't think I've ever had to level grind in a Final Fantasy game.

Though I haven't completed 1 through 5.

Yes. When I said 'kill half an hour' I was actually talking about 'killing time'.

Hahahaha, seriously, you're talking shit.

It has awful art and animation. It is littered with a dis likable and unbearable cast. Oh, btw, it is just like every other Moe~ series. For it is unbelievably annoying, brain damage inducing, drek.

Okay. I can understand why you'd hate the art. I don't understand how you can say it has awful animation. It is a very well animated show.

You're right, infact, they act like a bunch of typical trendy "hardcore gamers" and "anime fan" shit fangirls, who spend all their time acting RANDOM LIKE and IRONIC.

I am a trendy gamer and anime fan. Sometimes I like watching shows about people like me.

I don't need to see more than that episode or the many awful clips. It's trash and it will always be trash.

Well, I liked it.

I've been working through that series at a snail's pace. I keep forgetting that I have it. Which is weird, since I really like it.

Makes me wanna get to watching Mind Game.

That movie is amazing. One of the best animated movies I've seen.

People talk about how they eat their food for 20 minutes?

Uh, fuck yes they do. If I had to count all the drawn out pointless conversations I'ev had in my lifetime it would be a very large number.

That episode was shit, though. It seemed like they were trying to do Seinfeld and failed at it.

Um. Burn?

This guy actively misinterprets what people mean when they say they are a hardcore gamer.

When people say they are 'hardcore' they aren't saying that they appreciate the medium more. They're saying that they play games more. And sometimes they're saying that they play 'hardcore' games.

'Hardcore games' being the 'popcorn fodder spectacles' he describes.

This guy just made up his own definition of a 'hardcore gamer', and then told everyone that they weren't a part of it.

As it stands, hardcore gamer is a meaningless label that describes the sort of person that would use the term 'hardcore gamer' to describe themselves.

Eh, I liked it. What you found unpleasant I found pleasant. It's just one of those things I found very easy to watch, and was a fun way to kill half an hour each week.

And as far as 'moeblob' goes, I wasn't affected in that show. The style of the art is 'moe', but the characters' personalities aren't. There isn't really any of the horrible childish behaviour and nonsense noises that is typical of the shitty kind of 'moe' character (God, I hate those characters).

Most of the time the characters in Lucky Star act like people.

By the way, you implied that you only watched one episode of the show. It took me around six episodes to get into it, and I hated the first episode of the show. I spent the time getting into it because at the time I needed something to do.
