Daaaaaamn... I feel like I would be responsible for your mother being sold if this thing actually came out, LOL.

There were actually two of the 1970s "Scooby-Doo Movies" which had Scooby-Doo teaming up with Batman and Robin. I think the B&R movies were actually the pilots of the movie series. Batman and Robin were modeled after their appearance in the Hanna-Barbera "Superfriends" cartoon, and Robin was voiced by Casey Kasem (who also did Shaggy).

I think that the hard "good/evil" dichotomy is a product of the three Abrahamic religions.

KFC is actually considered to be fine dining in Japan and China. In Africa, eating at KFC is considered to be a status symbol.

I started in '07. Right before I finally found a Wii.

I haven't played Yakuza 1 (wasn't aware of Yakuza until long after it came out), Yakuza 5 (digital only on PS3, and mine is dead), or Dead Souls.

Yeah. They were supposed to get a bonus if NV got over an 85 Metacritic score. It got an 84 Metacritic score, and they lost the bonus. They said losing the bonus nearly killed Obsidian. It's a shame, too. NV was far and away the best of the Bethesda Fallout games, made by people who worked on Fallout 2.

I enjoyed both of th S&P games. I have a physical copy of Star Successor.

I imagine that Japanese see Judeo-Christian symbols the way we see Greco-Roman or Norse mythology, and to a degree, Japanese mythology. So many Japanese games have Judeo-Christian symbolism in them. Final Fantasy, Xenogears, Bayonetta, some Tales games (Symphonia had a lot of not-too-subtle and not-too-flattering references to Catholicism in it), some Pokemon, and even Zelda. Originally, according to Miyamoto, Christianity was the main religion of Hyrule, with Link having a Latin cross on his shield in the NES games. It wasn't until A Link to the Past that Zelda started really developing its own mythology and pantheon. Since Japan isn't Christian (and in fact, their rejection of Christianity is said to have kept Japan from falling under European colonial rule the way China, Africa, and the Americas did), it doesn't mean much to them. They do celebrate Christmas as a secular holiday with their own spin on it (for single adults, Christmas involves dinner at KFC followed by a night at a love hotel), and they are aware to a degree of how religious the United States is. They almost didn't release Xenogears or Final Fantasy Tactics in the US due to concerns about backlash from religious groups.

We could call it "dickety." Or we could call the whole century "dickety", as in "dickety-eighteen" or in two years, "dickety-dickety."

My big games of this year were Fallout: New Vegas and Yakuza 3. F:NV was the best of the Bethesda Fallout games and combined the Bethesda graphics and gameplay engine with a lot of the best elements of the PC Fallout games.
