Yeah I really like Gurumin. It just takes me back to how games were like ten or so years ago (well, because it was originally released ten or so years ago). A time when games didn't take themselves too seriously and there were no day one patches and needless DLC.
Yeah I've played all those Ys games you mentioned. My favorite is still Ys Seven.
When my dog Venus was younger, she used to love to watch TV. When we would leave for work, we'd turn the TV on for her. It couldn't be on anything scary because it would scare her, so we'd put it on the Nick Jr. channel. I'd turn on the TV and Dora the Explorer would be on and I'd say, "Venus, come watch Dora!" She'd run in and just sit there. I know she was there most of the day because a bunch of dog hair would be in front of the TV. She'd also bark a lot when we'd watch a game show. I think she thought the buzzers were the doorbell!
Some of the pets that I've had in the past, like a Siberian Husky named Chief and a Russian Blue cat named Chekov, also liked to watch me play video games.
Shoot, I talk about Ys all the time! I even wrote a blog about Ys Seven a few months ago. It's one of my top five favorite PSP games.

Also, I just wrote a review of a game called Gurumin 3D. It's made by the same folks who did the Ys titles: Falcom.

As cool as she may be, I probably still won't buy her, at least not right away.
I voted early.
What disgusted me is some of the posts I've read on Facebook. I knew I shouldn't have visited Facebook after the election, but I wanted to post a link to a new GamerDad.com review and didn't think about it. Some of the stuff my Facebook friends were posting was so insulting, it was very shameful and uncalled for. I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything, but it was hard.
Mainstream media is so one-sided nowadays, too.
I like King Pen, one of the Skylanders included in the game, because he kind of reminds me of the Penguins of Madagascar. Even though she's kind of a bland character, I also like Barbella for some reason.
Well you'll need a Crash Bandicoot or Dr. Neo Cortex figure to unlock a special Crash themed level. I do know that. But I don't know what it is since I don't have one of those.
I think Triple Deluxe was a tiny bit better than Planet Robobot.
