Yeah, they are often quite expensive. This one was close to $20, though I got it as a Christmas gift so that works for me!
I remember being interested in reading Game Over many years ago. I was probably even in junior high back then!

I suppose it depends on how you define a casual moviegoer. I certainly don't consider myself a critic, or well-versed on movies (I will rarely watch any movie made before the 70s). At the same time, I'll go and watch an obscure indie movie that many of my friends would probably never watch or have heard of. Your best-of list from last year might have had a few of those.

Actually, your take on Iron Man 3 is far more forgiving than most of my friends opinion of the movie (who are more casual moviegoers than you or me). One just said it sucked and another laughed through the whole movie but still didn't like it. I had little to like about Iron Man 2, so my expectations were incredibly low. I enjoyed it. Like you, the plot didn't mean much to me but it sure was fun.

Yeah, I finished it last year. The battle system is like a combination between a grid-based SRPG (Final Fantasy Tactics) and the standard turn-based RPG. You're right, I haven't seen a battle system quite like it.
I enjoyed it. The dialogue was far too frequent for such a simple story, but the game still felt very brisk and fast paced somehow. It's part of a trilogy and I doubt we will get the sequels. It's fine by me though, I had my fill with this one.

You mean like how gamers turn their nose up at Call of Duty and Madden just because they are really succesful? I'm not a fan of those games, but I'm not about to go on a crusade to bash those games either.

Princess Peach must be a mother. Where else did Baby Mario come from?!

Happy anniversary! I get my degree next month. Looking for a job is the part that worries me.
Nice videos too. They feel like authentic news broadcasts.

I've yet to play the Mana series. I know how legendary this one is for not having been officially localized.
Hitoshi Sakimoto just might be my favorite game composer. The range of his music is just so amazing.
Not to mention how influential many of these games were on the industry. You would have to wonder what games would be like had Nintendo not burst into the scene and saved games from being shovelware.
I read that back in the 80s there was no official way to spell video games. Many magazines and other media spelt it with one word, while others went with two.
