My PS2 was my first gaming console. I wanted it specifically for Kingdom Hearts, which was coming out that year. I'd heard so much good about in in EGM that I had. to. have. it. So I asked for a PS2, which were already on the downswing price-wise by then, and a copy of KH for Christmas. My...

I am a member of the "I don't mind the occasional 'lol', 'brb', or 'gtg,' but I hate everything else" camp. The ubiquity of chatspeak, as I call it, puts me in great fear for the future of the English language. Will we end up with some sort of lame alphanumeric Newspeak, a la Orwell's 1984...

The season premier of The Venture Bros. Man, I do love me some VB. Rating: 10/10. Finding out that was awesome. Also, the various ways they showed Brock a la old 1950's comic-book was inspired. Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick know how to write a cohesive, intelligent, and brilliantly witty...

Supernatural. It's really the only thing I watch on a regular basis anymore. It was a rerun of the season premier [already rerunning eps from this season, guys? We're only, like, three weeks in!] Anyway, it's the episode that directly follows The Big Bad Season Ender Thing . So, lots of angst...

*pushes onto a Moogle* I hope you're light on your feet, kupo-po....

This is one of the rare games where I don't have a strong favorite. If I had to pick one, I'd go with Auron, but I enjoyed using Lulu, Wakka, and Kimahri just as well. Auron's got the sage badass thing going for him, Lulu is so handy with that magic mojo, Wakka can end up dealing major damage...

I have a major hate on this game, and it'll never go away. Try though I did, I couldn't get my head around Yuna being a pop star. The whole game felt juvenile to me, not to mention kinda sexist with the whole "outfits" system. I came away feeling like I had wasted a good chunk of time, even...

Mine's an amalgamation from The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It's almost an acronym of a sort - the first initials of the characters in the order that they join the ka-tet. Roland Jake Eddie Susannah Oy I originally made it for a DT-related site, but I've carried it across to a couple...

Thanks, everyone!

Balthier, most definitely. As I've said elsewhere, he is chock full o' badassery, and that's always the character type I prefer. Smarmy, sarcastic, streetsmart, resourceful... hell yeah.

Hahaha, I can't believe the question "is he too feminine" even had to be asked. Vaan was extremely annoying, with his androgynous look and creepy abs and flat eyes and whiny attitude [all of which frankly reminded me of Tidus]. He rates a big ol' "meh" from me. I also agree with the "lack of...

Well, though I am no FF veteran, I'll step right up and say that I love this game. The battle system is something that I've never seen before, and I value originality. Okay, fine, gambits don't always work, but so what? They work 99.9% of the time. I love anything that will allow you to control...

Hey, all. I'm Rjeso, or Laura if you prefer, I don't really care either way. I'm by no means a veteran of the FF series, as my first gaming system was a PS2 and I jumped in at FFX. *dodges tomatoes* So, here I am, because I loved FFX and FFXII. [X-2 annoyed the livin' snot out of me, so let's...
