I agree with everything on the list, but it would be nice to see a counter-list with "Nine ways Japanese guys know you are a cold, high-maintenance bitch".
"Cute" girls over there can have just as many obnoxious obsessions and habits.
That's a bit different. This is saying the word while doing the action, which is "moé".
For example, saying "jiiiiii" while staring.
Stupid anime tropes being dragged into real life by creepy otaku.
You're one of those people still clinging to "Natal" as a cooler name?
Do you know what the "Natal Ward" is at a hospital? It's the place where screaming pregnant women give birth to screaming babies.
This game is the only reason I want a PSV.
Damn.
The music is garbage?
I remember the days when Final Fantasy was well known for having some of the best music in gaming...
You say "Quad Core" like it's a big deal.
It's not so much of a big deal anymore. It's slowly becoming normal.
Looks like crap. Like a throwaway THQ licensed game from the '90s.
The problem is that Doctor Who is not an easy franchise to base a game off. You would really have to make it like a puzzle-heavy Uncharted-style game, minus all the gun fights, with some Phoenix Wright style mystery elements.
Ah, back when they used computer graphics to create all these abstract scenes that were impossible in reality. Visuals that made you feel like you were staring right down into the inside of a computer, or seeing some alien planet in another dimension, or the very deepest depths of a dream.
Nowadays everyone just sees who can render the most realistic natural scenery or generic spaceships.
It wouldn't just be the comment that was removed, that's a DMCA thing, it would be all of Kotaku cut-off form the net.
Acceptable failure rate? I don't know which decade you grew up in, but in the past that shit didn't fly.
They wanted to get investors excited, basically.
I wouldn't say it's a joke. I'd say it's an honest question.
The Xbox 360 has always sold more consoles, but how many of those sales are to replace failed hardware? It's impossible to measure.
As for Slims having lower failure rates, that doesn't magically make all the existing old-style 360s immune to failure. There's still millions of those out there that can fail.
I generally loathe iOS games, but I will not argue that Apple is not a HUGE influence on the gaming world.
Just because you don't personally like something, doesn't mean it's not true.
It's just like how Nickelback is currently the world's biggest rock band, and I personally would barely even define them as "music".
17 years so far. I wouldn't call that a "flash in the pan". Sony's already stuck around longer than Atari did. (And no, I don't mean the "Atari" name.)
It's still kind of funny how Nintendo created their own worst enemy. If they hadn't invited Sony into the fold on that project, Sony may have never bothered to create their own gaming console.
In any case, these designs... back when game machines still looked like game machines.
The '90s were my biggest gaming years, so I still consider THQ a dirty, awful word.
Don't blame it entirely on piracy. The "anime bubble" BURST. It was a trend, and the trend is now over. I could have told you this would happen 10 years ago. Yes, there's still a hardcore fanbase, but the mainstream simply doesn't care for it anymore.
Hey, sales of disco records didn't die thanks to cassette tape piracy. Disco simply went out of style.
I feel bad for kids exposed to this bullshit, because kids can't always weed out fact from fiction. I know one kid who actually hid in his room as midnight struck on New Year's because he thought the world might end, and another one who's facing great anxiety about this year... all because some stupid twits in the media are giving this "story" too much airtime, and all these other twits are trying to get rich over invoking fear.
Dave was pretty intolerable. He should have been less pedantic and more diplomatic in his reasonings with Paul. Not that it would have been effective, of course, he would have simply come off as the better person.
However, Paul was a gigantic douche, and brought the conversation to Jersey Shore levels of douchery with remarks like "I'm a native Bostonian from Little Italy, who the fuck are you?" and "I know the Mayor of Boston."
Did they have strippers?
