Your alignment determines who the final boss is: a chaos final boss if you're law, the opposite if you are chaos, and both if you are neutral. I believe the endings for all three are more-or-less the same. The story events I mentioned generally involve a decision to kill one of two bosses associated...

It's a good game, but I'm also biased towards it. If you do replay it, just keep in mind that there are tons of ways to tweak your alignment in either direction later on. Even the places that you restore health have alignments associated with them. So if you want to shift frow law to either neutral ...

Apparently it's the 50th anniversary of "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White. I found out by stumbling upon this article: http://roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/24/happy-birthday-strunk-and-white/ There's some pretty fun comments from linguists (including one that I am a big...

Hrrm, I still have that one (was it the original?) lurking around on my system I don't wanna play it, though, since its got a prob with the translation that prevents me from choosing the side I would want. :( Which side, if you don't mind me asking? I always go neutral since you get to kill everyon...

Hah, oh well. I guess it was cheaper at the time that I bought. But, meh. It was worth every penny.

Well, the majority of the games I define as "good" through their replay value are games that I've played for over ten years. If, ten years from now, you can play through Gears of War and still find it enthralling, you have just proved me wrong. I guess what I mean to say is that I do not ...

The people I know who are actually well off are not even that spend-thrifty (is that even a word?), but I guess that's why they actually have money. So, yeah, those people definitely don't represent the Americans I know either.

So much kanji hate :( I like those dudes personally. Once you learn more, you'll have an easier time reading those than you would reading long-ass strings of kana. It is a lot of work to learn, though. PS: Also, this is hella old news but the joyo list is getting some new additions, and five obsolet...

It must truly be an illusion if you say so. Why else would such abominations be so well liked by the masses? Because they enjoy them, I guess. I know next to nothing about the FPS genre, but those series seem fine for what they are. I know a dude who's way into Gears of War, and he pretty much play...

Totally pointless post, but I really love the hell out of my DS. However, most of the games I dig are "casual" games and not "hardcore" in any way, so probably my opinion doesn't count for much. But I've had more fun with Taiko no Tatsujin 1 and 2, Ouendan 1 and 2, Mizuiro Blood,...

Dammit, you had me all excited about that port for a second

Not that I need a third copy, but it'd be nice to have a portable version.

@Harry Potter hahahahaha Zwerkbal! That's awesome. I wonder what the Japanese names are. Like, do they insert the honorifics? HM. This is extremely late, I know, but I stumbled upon a link that has the Japanese, Vietnamese, and Chinese translations of junk from the Harry Potter books. I can't say m...

I just watched Spirited Away for like the 5th time. Miyazaki is my hero, seriously.

Can't go wrong with Chrono Trigger. I played that a few months ago, and it's as good now as it was back when I first played it. Not a whole lot of games I can say that about.

It's an interesting article, and I do agree with the need to switch to a gender-neutral pronoun that doesn't specify a gender, for obvious reasons. But people use "he" to refer to someone who's gender isn't known in formal writing because that's what they were taught to be correct usage ba...
