Not a problem. That was quite enjoyable to read. And I would agree that video games can cause short-term effects with violence. Heck, I remember punching my brother after playing a multiplayer game!
A friend of mine keeps telling me to watch Supernatural. So many seasons though!
Video games cause violence! Confirmed. NOT!
Glad to hear good things about Wind Rises. Now that I think about it, I don't think a Miyazaki movie has made me cry yet. Not that it needs that to be a great movie though.
I looked over the winners and was really glad to see Gravity won Best Directing. It definitely wasn't the best movie of the year, but man were my eyes glued to the screen during that movie. Anyway, based on most of the other winners, I have a lot of movies to watch from last year. Rush is another one I need to see. I wasn't the biggest fan of Cinderella Man, but Ron Howard has still made plenty of good movies in my mind.
Everyone seems to pining the blame of all those layoffs on Ken Levine, when really the highest likelyhood was that Take-Two laid off everyone, leaving Levine to deliver the news. Levine doesn't own the studio, Take Two does. I don't see how Levine could have the power to shut it down. If Infinite really did cost $200 million, the game is bleeding red and it was only until they released their promised DLC that everyone would get sacked.
Yeah, I tried the club and party thing numerous times in college and I just didn't see the fun in it. I'm quiet enough as it is and having to yell into someones ear just so they can hear me doesn't sound like much of a way to help me with socializing. And really, most of the time some of my drunk friends will manage to get in a fight or make a fool of themselves, spoiling the mood for even the extroverts.
With sites like ebay now, it's rare that I get the urge to check out retro games in real stores. I used look at the retro games, think I found rarity and jump at buying it. Now I know I can check online and get almost any game for a decent price at any time. There are exceptions though, maybe some fool out there is selling Panzer Dragoon Saga for $20 in a pawn shop.
I sure had some good times with the PS1. Still have all my games kicking around. Along with MGS, Vagrant Story, and FF Tactics, some of my favorites were FFVII and VIII, Legend of Dragoon, Pac-Man World and Rayman. Even though I wasn't a huge fan of Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross probably found its way into my system the most. I beat that game like ten times because with the fast-forward option, the game could be beaten in two hours!
Yeah, the Japanese loves Cherry Blossums. Though they almost always seem to be used in romantic situations. Of course, that's not the case with Okami.
