I think I'm going to go! I just happened to request some leave from work that will fall at the same time she'll be in New York. It's been like 12 years since I've last been in NYC but it should be fun!

Aine: I thought I wrote about VALIS before, when I was on my Philip K Dick ... uh, kick, but I guess I didn't. Good god I could not get into it. I had it as an anthology of a bunch of his later books but VALIS itself was so rambling and weird and while I slogged through the rest of it, I did not gai...

Oh, I must have missed your post earlier Petit, but let me second the choice of So You Want to be a Wizard. I basically grew up on Diane Duane's books, she has a great mix of sci-fi and fantasy, the magic is "realistic", it's presented as highly grounded in actual science. My personal favo...

That's funny, I had the complete opposite reaction to the Ace Attorney movie. I thought it was the best video game (true to original source) as possible that I've ever seen. It did sag a bit in the middle, and it probably ran too long, but I liked how serious everything was, because with those hairs...

Ugh, I played the beta and I loved the atmosphere and the writing but god the gameplay was so awful. It was just miserable, it was so clunky and mathy and felt completely unconnected to the player. I felt bad for not liking it for seemingly shallow reasons but if I'm playing a game, I want the actua...

Man, Perfume releases make me so excited, it's like a mini-Christmas every time I hear a new single/album is coming out. I'm glad I can still feel things like that and that I'm not totally dead inside.



Everything they've done after Triangle has been absolute gold.

TOO BAD YOU JUST SHIT ALL OVER THIS PURE MAIDEN'S HEART

I didn't know what to do with the posts that weren't only about SM so I left them in spam.

Just a bit of warning then Petit, the UK version has become very different from where it started. I know British shows can have no qualms about changing things (that American shows wouldn't dare do) but this is some pretty big stuff. New season/series planned for next year, I really have no idea wha...

Which Being Human? US or UK? I'd been following the UK version for a while, and I tried the US pilot when it came out but it was almost exactly the same as the UK version but with much too pretty people, so I didn't bother continuing.

Uhhhh, well... (major spoilers, don't read if you haven't seen the episodes!) Tarrlok killed himself and his brother in the finale, and I'm pretty sure Noatak let him. Just so they wouldn't repeat and continue their twisted father's legacy. Avatar gets away with a lot more than you'd think from just...

I really enjoyed all of Korra, I only wish it had been a longer season, they could have done a lot more to flesh things out. But as for the copout, meh. Aang getting hit in his back with a rock in TLA's finale was probably worse. So while a little disappointing, the show is not without deus ex machi...

It's a perfectly apt analogy. Fast food is not always necessarily bad for you, I was focusing on the "fast" part and not the nutrition. Consoles are simpler and PCs require more effort to get right. PC gaming is already as profitable as console gaming is now and is slated to be more so in ...

This debate doesn't always have to turn into a flamewar, we're not that immature here. I think it's fine to discuss the points in a rational manner and no one is getting incensed. Consoles are fine for people who don't want to think too much about what they're getting, there's nothing wrong with tha...

I built my computer for a bit over $1k (that's including the monitor) and while it's by no means top of the line, it runs everything on max graphics without too many frame rate problems. (I can't say it's going too well with Skyrim, but I do mod the hell out of that. TOO MANY TEXTURES.) I just have ...

I can't decide how I feel about the new SimCity. I mean I'm going to get it, because well, it's a SimCity from Maxis, even if it's not really Maxis and it's just EA (EAxis?) but they seem to keep repeating "we have lots of experience from the older simcities! it'll be great! we know what we're ...

As a follow up to that^, this made me laugh for ages: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_bx_9QYt7k



His subsequent ones are good too.

I can't merge these topics in this forum, so TnB or aine/berry will have to do it.

Ace Attorney 5 announced today. I am going to be SO SAD if they don't localize this as well. I'm still pining for the second Edgeworth Investigations game. Damn you Capcom. DAMN YOU TO HELL. *shakes tiny ineffectual fist*

Done and I am the only mod in member's territory fyi, PQ~



ALSO, BAD SHOWRANIY. *whips*

Probably. Just going to be that guy and say it's a terrible show. The best description I ever heard of it was "nerd blackface."

See, now you've confused the poor thing. Don't worry yaguchi, NekoKai was the one who bumped this from down below the murky depths. aine was just being our loveable toughguy admin. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':tongue:' />

All I can ever visualize with Persona 4 are these comics. Never played it, don't really plan on watching the anime, but man talk about a twisted story plot.

Ugh, I didn't know they weren't even planning on localizing the Phoenix Wright / Layton crossover game either.
