Phantom Hourglass was easy. With that out of the way, I don't care if a game is easy. What I care about is if I'm having fun with it and if I'm getting lost in its world. PH did that for me. I still don't think it's as good as The Minish Cap, which may be my favorite 2D Zelda after Link's Awakening,...

Naturally, Obama's somewhat restored our international image. Bush was unpopular, both domestically and with foreign governments, due to his unconstitutional, immoral "preemptive war" stance. Of course, Obama's an American president, and I don't want a president who panders to foreign inte...

First, I am absolutely in love with Phantasy Star 1, 2, and 4. They are some of the most memorable RPG's I've ever played--challenging, with incredible music, beautiful artistic design, and unforgettable characters. Secondly, I never have played any of the Phantasy Star Online games. I don't see the...

I tried Etrian Odyssey II. I gave it a fair shot. That is to say, I played a bit of the first dungeon before breaking down and crying. Not because it was hard, but more because I just felt like I was wasting my time. That is to say, I was wasting my time. It's one of those games I recognize for its ...

I agree with Hanyou a whole lot, except for, "Really intelligent films--right down to The Empire Strikes Back--can be not only accessible but witty and fun." The Empire Strikes Back is intelligent? The first three were fun, but I wouldn't call them intelligent by a long shot. Empire is so...

I think my main objection to TP was that it lacked personality. After The Wind Waker, that was just completely unforgivable. It didn't help that it was also linear, there was very little to do in the unpopulated Hyrule, and the items were pretty much just paint-by-numbers...no creativity in executio...

I've been wanting to make this topic for awhile. Feel free to state what you think are the most overrated movies and to refute other posts, should you disagree with anyone. There are several on my list: Kill Bill, Sin City, Princess Mononoke, Pirates of the Carribean, Transformers, and Star Wars Epi...

Twilight Princess is the worst game I have ever played, probably because I avoid playing bad games. :P But it was still bad enough to warrant a "dumbest game" award. If I start ranting, I may start a flame war, so I'll keep the "why" to myself. XD [spoiler]Damn that imp.[/spoiler...

Do you believe the people of a state have the constitutional or moral right to secede from the United States federal government? There's been a lot of talk about secession lately. "Fringe groups" introduce it, to be lambasted by media elites who label them "extremists" and "...

but so is sex for that matter stop darkening my view of humanity kino Sex for any purpose other than procreation is a (borderline) sin. Therefore if you have unprotected sex (within a marriage) you are not sinning because God could choose to grant you a pregnancy. But to interfere with God's plan i...

We ( the general societal "we") have determined the state has the right to control drug use, via our voting and our laws. Nicotine is a drug. I am majorly inconvenienced by the fact that I cannot legally purchase and consume my drug of choice, marijuana. Do you feel this is just? I cannot...

Because of it, I can not sit with my mom in a restaurant for too long and have a conversation with her, without her needing to get up and leave for a while to go get a smoke. I don't really care if smoking is banned or not, but that right there is not a good argument. It could easily be your mom's ...

I'm not trying to call you out by any means but I'm extremely interested to hear your side of things. I know we disagree fundamentally on many issues due to our respective liberal and conservative viewpoints, but I always appreciate the rational and well-reasoned arguments you are able to make. Wha...

I believe there is a typo? I take it that you proposed? Congratulations! *throws confetti* ^_^; this weekend is my fiance and I's 4th anniversary, but you have us beat it seems! (also I have NO IDEA WHAT TO GET HIM) Nope, you read that right. I asked her to be my girlfriend because I planned on spe...

Everything pre-Nowhere Man is banal and silly pop about love, incidentally, and while they certainly have an influence they are nothing compared to their later works, including the entire Sgt Peppers album. Sgt Peppers utterly changed the face of music forever; some have even cited it with changing...
