    Nintendo My thoughts on the 3DS...

    No glasses, the 3DS delivers a 3D image without them :) I don't know the exact technical details, but apparently it has to do with the 3DS only having one user viewing the screen from a relatively set angle unlike a cinema screen or a home theatre which is usually looked at by several people at...

    Awful names parents give their children

    Man you'd really have to have forgotten what it was like to be a kid yourself if you name your kid some of the names mentioned above. Kids can be cruel and your child is probably going to get braces, glasses, big teeth, ginger hair, be a bit on the weedy side, or have something else that sets...

    What's your team like?

    Cloud, Red XIII and Cid. Red XIII and Cid have nice well rounded stats (all the other characters lean towards higher HP/lower MP or lower HP/higher MP) good physical damage output and great limit breaks. On my first play through I went with Barrett and Tifa, but I've used the above mentioned...

    Nintendo Dragon Quest X

    Dragon Quest X was announced for the WII 2 years ago, so I'd imagine that development is probably too far along now to make a change between 2 wildly different platforms viable.

    XBox Fable III

    I've got a scary research project due by the end of November which I haven't even started yet and I'm going back to Denmark to visit family and friends for a month in December. So no Fable III till January for me I'm afraid ;)

    Nintendo DS number 1?

    I think the PSP probably suffers a bit sales-wise because it isn't a terribly unique product compared to the Nintendo DS. While the DS has its own unique interface and gameplay, the PSP is more or less just a handheld version of Sony's home consoles and I think that's a much harder sell. It's...

    [V5] What are you currently listening to?

    Beyond the Black by Metal Church I've been on a bit of a Metal Church kick lately and this is as good an opening track to an album that you're ever going to hear. Great atmospheric intro before the band kicks into their brand of full throttle heavy fucking metal.

    Western or Japanese RPGs

    To me the combat system in RPGs have always been a means to an end rather than what defines RPGs as a genre, so a an RPG with shooter elements is by no means a contradiction as far as I'm concerned. It's certainly no more contradictory than "action RPG". Unless you want to divide the genre over...

    Western or Japanese RPGs

    Currently? Definitely western RPGs. Western RPG developers have just gotten better than their Japanese counterparts in so many areas that there really is no comparison any more. Better storyline, better graphics, better gameplay, better you name it! While western developers such as BioWare and...

    Nintendo The Last Story

    It might be worth getting a Wii for man. With this, Xenoblade, and Dragon Quest X I think the Wii is going have by far the best JRPGs we've seen this generation :)

    Nintendo My thoughts on the 3DS...

    To be fair though, it's not just yet another £$%^ing DS. The 3DS is an entirely new and more powerful handheld console, so it's only really an upgrade to the DS in the same way that the PS3 is an upgrade to the PS2. Also the DS has been on the market for nearly 6 years now, which is 2 years...

    Nintendo My thoughts on the 3DS...

    Just looking at the list of games which is currently in development for the 3DS (before it's even out yet!) I think any speculation that it won't have any deep games early in its life time is completely unfounded. Personally I think the 3DS will be a massive success along the lines of the...

    Christianity and Paganism...

    Cultural and religious asimilation. It's much easier to get a society to adopt new beliefs if they don't differ too much from their old ones (people are generally happier if they can have their cake AND eat it). Hence an old pagan tradition like winter solstice became Christmas and lots of other...

    Nintendo The Last Story

    It's been a while since anyone posted here, but lots of new information about the game has been released in the last month or so. Here's a bunch of links to sum things up: Last Story battle system: http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/10/05/last_story_battle_sample/ Magic in the Last Story...

    Do you think FF XIV is going to die?

    I think it depends on how they handle the game in the future. If they manage to rectify some of the mistakes people were unhappy with at launch relatively quickly and continue to listen to their community in the future, then they definitely have a shot. For all its flaws and errors, Final...

    360 or PS3: One Girl's Quest for Gaming Nirvana

    How big a deal is online multiplayer functionality to you? Do you plan to play online at all or are you primarily a single player gamer? The primary function of the Xbox Live gold subscription is that it allows you to play with others online. Sure it includes some other nice features as well...

    Top 10 Honorable Mentions.

    1. Final Fantasy VI. I did really like this game, but to me it falls just short of true greatness because of it's graphics. I had played FF VII-IX before I got FF VI for the Playstation, so I was used to much more epic and cinematic visuals in my Final Fantasies. It wasn't just the fact that it...

    Barnes & Noble and the Like

    The first thing I go for whenever I enter a bookstore is always the new releases display. It's usually pretty much right in front of you as you enter the store, and sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised to find exactly what I came in for on that display. After that I usually steer straight for the...

    What's up with YouTube commenters?

    People who dislike things on youtube are sad, lonely people with a massive inferiority complex. They are so insecure about what they actually like that they constantly feel the need to lash out at others and nag about stuff they don't like in the vain hope that others will think they are "cool"...
