I remember i hated her at first. But she developed so much i loved her. When she changed the heart shirt it was so subtle and sweet.
I cant remember whether it was the japanese version or the dubbed but the song about her dad leaving was so beautiful. I loved tamers.

I’ve read your articles for awhile now, and while you can err on the side of too much passion, your headline is nearly perfect. It describes the article in its entirety. Your passion is conveyed in a sentence, I understand the purpose of the article and I could even recognize that you had written it. Read more

Well he was rushed. He was charged with filling the site with posts by himself. That's a tall order. A lot of the posts were provocative in a fun way, which is appreciated on my end. Read more

I, for one, really enjoyed the volume of opinionated posts. Gives you something to think about when the rest of the site is dead.

I would love to see Duke take a gigantic page from Bulletstorm. Bulletstorm was by far the spiritual successor of the Duke Nukem franchise. Ridiculously over the top, testosterone filled action, with a hysterically entertaining “combo system” plus stupid, “masculine” dialogue. Having Duke spout off “rear entry” or Read more

Ok Doc, you won me over with this one. For me, Tamers was the best series and still holds its own today. The characters were all pretty well written and had their own unique points of view.

My sister has literally been naming any characters who are Japanese in video games Rika since we saw this show years ago. Read more

Well done, and good health to you. Hope to see more writing by you here another time (despite most of them not being to my taste; I suspect we’re polar opposites in gaming tastes!). Read more
