"Enough with the jizz fest!" Now there's something I never thought I'd hear you say. :p Also, it's been announced for a November release, so you only have three months to get a new 3DS!

Or other people. To do. Don't leave us for your boyfriend, Eddie. We're way cooler than him.

Aneres, you fool. Now how are you going to play Virtue's Last Reward?

Maybe I'll remember liking it in four years, too. Nah, the music was pretty good. I just got so distracted by the horrible story that I forgot to mention it. The best way to experience Eternal Sonata would probably be to look at screenshots while you listen to the soundtrack.

Shut up, Dog-amoto.

Bananas are the only fruit I eat out of the house. Everything else just makes my hands too sticky. Everyone I know opens bananas the wrong way, but they insist it's the right way when I tell them. And I'm like, "but look at cartoon banana peels!" and they're all, "NO YOU'RE WRONG" while they pull at the pointy bit of the banana and complain about how hard it is to peel.

Just think of how awesome your childhood would have been if there'd been a game called Micro Mario.

I'm good, thanks.

We'd need to get laid first.

He finally made a profile on OKCupid and is currently wading through all of the ugly people to get to the attractive ones.

They should just do what my parents did and get a second television set. They'll never have to talk to each other again!

My greatest fear is dating someone who thinks it'd be totally awesome if we could play World of Warcraft together and then either have to feel guilty when they're forced to play it without me or spend most of my gaming time playing a boring MMO. It'd be like dating Gamer Mom.

6 is California Games.

3 is Yakuza 2.

Thank God. :p

10 is Samorost 2. 11 is Machinarium.

9 is And Yet it Moves.

Just use one of your usual lines.

Truly a match made in heaven! Unless she was just humoring you. :p

Oh, Mokong. I can practically hear your wife rolling her eyes in the other room. :p

Don't worry, there'll be a Christmas next year too.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I just have to rant about how absolutely boring this game was. At least it was pretty. The cutscenes felt pretty last-generation, though. Almost every single one was just characters standing around talking, and occasionally doing a stock animation like raising their hands to their mouth or slowly turning their head. I mean, I realize there's only so much you can do when your game has so many cutscenes, but they could have put a little effort in. Cutscenes that last fifteen minutes at a time that are nothing but characters sitting around talking about things that aren't interesting with long pauses between lines and no lip-syncing just aren't fun. I probably wouldn't have minded the cutscenes being filled with talking heads if the story had been at least somewhat interesting. The only thing I knew beforehand about the story was that you played through the dream of a dying Frédéric Chopin. And that actually sounded interesting! Something different from most JRPGs! And then Chopin takes a backseat to a plot about magic and an evil count and magic drugs and two nations on the brink of war. Oh, and there's a band of rebels. There's always a band of rebels. This is the best scene in the game:

Hmm, fair enough. Now that you mention it, I do remember some colorful and pretty areas in the game. It was more of a 'general impression' kind of thing. Let's say it was like someone had poured blood over Zelda instead!

I didn't buy the DS games because it seemed unlikely we'd ever get the third game when the DS is pretty much dead, so lucky me. Though I'm not sure if I'll buy this if it's released over here because of ~football~ anyway, but it'd be nice to have the option. :p
