I like how you can tell who's cool or not based on their opinion on Friends. And I totally want those two GBAs so I can finally play Four Swords Adventures in co-op. I wish I were as rich as Murr.

A Vita release of Persona 4 was exactly what I was expecting the teaser site to be about. I'm relieved to hear that they're staying true to their word and not doing a FES version of the game. The Answer was terrible. Maybe by the time this is released I'll be able to afford a Vita and have the motivation to replay the game.

Friends went through the same thing as most other sitcoms, where the characters slowly become exaggerated versions of themselves as the writes forget that there used to be more to their characters than one or two quirks and they struggle to keep telling jokes after ten years. Friends was never all that great to begin with, though. Comforting, maybe, in an "I know these characters and enjoy spending time with them" kind of way, but never particularly funny.

I know a guy in Brazil. I'll let him know you're coming. He'd want to know.

Everyone's busy playing Xenoblade Chronicles.

I think he just means that you can choose not to click on the notifications when you receive them. Doesn't really stop them from piling up, though.

Notice you were gone? I didn't even notice you were here to begin with!

Maps get completely filled in once you've found all of the landmarks and locations.

Shut up and get back to work on all of your other projects. *Cracks whip*

I was just going to say that now that it's been confirmed to be included in the European version as well, we can throw the conspiracy theories out the window. I guess not!

Before you all start whining about your girlfriends, period, at least you have girlfriends. I don't actually want a girlfriend. I was just feeling left out.

Gamers overreacting about something? Unheard of! I'm still angry about the 3DS being region locked. But at least that's justified and not premature. ... They had no intention of ever localizing the games. The damage would have been done anyway. It's not like they would have been able to keep it a secret.

That doesn't even make any sense. Nintendo of America decides not to bring over Xenoblade Chronicles, and then tries to get revenge for... something? I'm not following your paranoid delusions at all. :p Anyway, I've been importing every Professor Layton game so far, so I'm fine either way. I'm more worried about what I'll do with the region-locked 3DS. I'm not too keen on Luke's European voice.

Peppers are technically fruits, so that's cheating. Fruits are always better than vegetables. Except tomatoes. I hate those.

Oh, man. I had no idea Diageo was London Girl. Sooo... is he good in bed, Dyson?

Don't start a war you're not ready for.

That's just the game being true to the series' roots! Once you made it past the second mission in the first game, it stopped differentiating between dead and unconscious enemies. Kind of made my close-to-non-lethal run pretty pointless in retrospect.

As someone who checks every thread anyway, I don't look forward to getting a ton of notifications every time I say something wise. Which, let's face it, is pretty much all the time.

What's ridiculous is that it took nearly seventeen years to release the game outside Japan. You can't really blame IGN for not including a game that they likely never played on the SNES.

999 is about nine people with wacky personality quirks who hang out on a boat and get into a bunch of silly misadventures. It actually has a really dark story and doesn't have the humor of the Ace Attorney series, but has a similarly well-written and twisty plot. Don't tell anyone that, though.

I still haven't played Final Fantasy VII. No one had better tell me if Cloud and Aerith get together in the end!

Everyone always seems to date crazy people. Or there's something in the act of breaking up with someone that makes people crazy. They're probably telling their online friends about their crazy exes who refuse to talk to them even though they've tried calling them fifty times a day, and then their exes had the nerve to tell their friends - leave their friends out of this! - that they shouldn't lend them their cellphones. I once left an online community after nearly seven years, but I guess that's not really the same thing as cutting all ties with someone in real life. I used to have nightmares about posting on the forums again. I was once the severee when an online friend of several years suddenly blocked me from reading his blog, and then a few weeks later blocked me on MSN as well. When I emailed him about it, he said that he didn't like talking to me anymore. It was very upsetting at the time, but when I was thinking about it the other day after seeing this thread, I realized that we've been ex-friends longer than we were friends. Kind of put the whole thing into perspective.

They look nice. I like how rainbow-y they are.

BAN SOUTHPAW CONTROLS. You know, just to mess with you lefties. I'm normal, but I do hate it when games have inverted camera controls and don't let you change them. Yes, fine, eventually you adjust, but you spend the first several hours panning the camera in the wrong direction and later on, when you play a game that wasn't developed by idiots, you have to spend some time getting used to the proper camera controls again. Basically, I sympathize. A little. But inverted cameras are a bigger issue because it affects me. You'd think so, but then I remember one of the Call of Duty games only having red/green teams, despite red-green color blindness being fairly common among males. I guess they were aiming for the female demographic with that game.

999 is awesome. You're not going to regret it - provided you like plot-heavy games. The game is essentially a visual novel with puzzle segments. The characters spend a lot of time talking to each other. You get to decide which doors to go through and when you enter a new room you get to look around, search for clues and solve puzzles. The game has (I think) seven different endings, including a 'true ending' that needs to be unlocked. The only downside is that you need to replay the puzzle rooms when you replay the game, but it's worth it because the story is so good.
