I wish I could go to Africa on my disability money. lol. I bet I'd be able to buy a mansion and have my teeth capped with gold and diamonds! I'd start making music videos and would insist on gorgeous "ebon skinned fly honnies" being my personal entourage. Of course the U.S. would be quick to cut my disability cash if I became an African citizen. What douche-bags! (I'm joking! Except about the fly honey entourage. I really want that!)

Blake is also right about adapting based on income. I can do some pretty amazing stuff with $730.00 a month. Granted, I can't live it up like celebs (or even middle class surburban peeps) but I can squeeze some happiness out of a shriveled lemon.

I loved Secret Of Evermore for it's lost suburbanite Earth-bound kind of charm! The fact my dog became a scruffy wolf during the caveman/medieval eras and a futuristic robo-pooch during the future era was just icing on the cake. No, it wasn't as great as secret of mana, but it was fun and even had some references to Final Fantasy 4. (which was Final Fantasy II on the snes over here.)

That's the best Van Gogh non Van Gogh art I've ever seen! (Ben is bias in favor of anything with Batman on it,btw! He also refers to himself in third person which is creepy!)

WEll, I think the death of children is controversial but not the worst thing to have in a game. I admit the "surgey scene" was rather graphic but what was more heart-wrenching was the fact Sophia trusted the doctors with such infallible love as they conducted such horrible surgeries & experiments upon her. I get that she saw them as her as parents yet wow, it's very tragic. (But this is excellent! Aka, you want gamers to be emotionally invested in the characters and their plights!)

I think pitching this to Atlus would be good. Aka, they take risks on more mature content AND the fanbase is just large enough your game would reach many people. Years ago I would have suggested pitching it to Squaresoft as well but they've been playing it a bit "too safe" lately. The only game of theirs that stood out to me this gaming generation was Nier. (Dissidia is fun too.)

Well, that's Jezebel for you. lol. I doubt my comment will even be approved. (Unless the author gets some other repliers in on roasting me,heh.)

Ha! ha! ha! It's the American version. lol. I dunno, I got a laugh out of the sotn reference. (Probably because I'm really lame) Definitely snatch up Ys 7 though. It's a jewel!

It's scary how engrossing GEB can be,Adam. I was the same way. I beat the main story campaign but I still need to push through the Burst expansion content!

Ys 7 has good narrative. Aka, reading the text isn't painful most of the time. lol. But yeah, if you enjoy power metal and actiony hach & slash rpgs then Ys 7 is your game,Joe!

Dude, compared to poor people in 3rd world countries I live like a friggin prince. I be BIG PIMPIN! lol. I'm not denying that.

 However, based on the US economy and the prices in my country I am in fact impoverished. No, I no longer live on the street, go to soup kitchens, or sleep on the flea infested carpet of the local mission but there was a time I actually did those things. You could also argue I was privelaged just to have access to a local soup kitchen and a local homeless shelter (Yes, I was) but that doesn't dismiss the fact it was a dark and scary point in my life. (Almost stepping on a heroin syringe is never fun nor is running into a mere boy carrying "real heat" stuffed into the back of his jeans)

 But yeah, we could totally learn something beneficial from Australian and Canadian healthcare & higher education. I'm sure your systems have their flaws but almost ANYTHING is better than U.S. healthcare and U.S. college loan prices!

I agree 100%. I'm not saying racism,sexism, and the horrible other "isms" don't exist, Adam. On the contrary, they run amok in many places, even in supposed "civilized" western countries. It's also not good our prisons are mostly corporate owned. Aka, our justice system will pass ridiculous laws just to keep people (as well as revenue and a cheap labor force) flowing through our penitentiaries. The rich can afford good lawyers and early releases whereas everyone else rots.

I just kind of despise the fact there's the assumption white people live like the caricatures in "Full House" and everything is so easy for us. Hell, I've been homeless and frisked by cops. Before getting my disability money I was a regular at the soup kitchen. I bet if I wore nicer designer clothes and lived in an actual two-story house everyone in my vicinity would treat me much better. Classism is just as inhumane and deplorable as racism.

That woman who wrote the article is blind. She's probably not seen many places beyond a college campus and her own suburb. At the very least that's the impression she gives me.
