Or Nintendo.

He's saying the chair looks unusually wide, implying that they've used visual trickery to make the room appear longer than it really is. Sheesh, Moogle.

So... it's Rokhed, right?

*Pinches butt* "WHAT COULD THIS MEAN."

If my mom got shot by a no-legged man, she'd want me to make GIFs about it.

Well, it's out next week, so it's not exactly a long wait. :p Persona 3 Portable is available right now on PSN, but Persona 4: Golden may be a better place to start.

Basically, it takes place over the course of one school year as you move in with your uncle and niece in a small Japanese town. It's not long before people start turning up dead and you and your band of misfit friends discover that it's somehow related to a magical world that exists inside televisions, where demons roam free. There are no random encounters and you fight using so-called personae. It's a bit like Pokémon in the sense that there's a ton of them and they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. You get new personae either by collecting cards after defeating enemies or fusing two or more cards together to create even stronger personae. (However, only the main character is allowed to change his persona.) Battles are mostly based around using your personae to take advantage of enemies' weaknesses, so a water-based enemy may be weak against fire-based attacks, and so on. If you exploit an enemy's weakness they'll topple over, and if you topple all enemies over on the same turn, you'll get to do massive damage to all enemies. When you're not slaying demons in the TV world, you're going to school and hanging out with friends. You've probably heard about the social links. Basically, there are over twenty social links in the game, where you hang out with someone after school and see their own personal story play out - and usually help them with some sort of problem. The social links are tied to the battle system too, though. Personae and social links are all tied to one of over twenty different arcana. Each social link has ten ranks, and as you gain ranks by spending time with people, you'll also get more and more bonus experience when you fuse personae of that arcane. So rather than have your Fool persona start out with just one measly spell, it may gain five bonus levels and several new spells if the corresponding social link is high enough. But really, it's the characters that make the game. You really get a chance to know everyone really well thanks to the social links, and the party members all get really close during the course of the year. There are a ton of great scenes where they spend time with each other, like during school festivals and school trips and things like that. And if you're not good at JRPGs, the Vita port has a new difficulty level where killing enemies is like a hot knife through butter and you just get revived if you die.

Hahaha, one thread per game. Don't be ridiculous. Sorry, that sounded really rude, but I wasn't making fun of you.

Now you'll never have to play it again. Lucky you!

Because it's awesome? I don't know if you're asking because you don't know anything about the game, or if you do know what the game is about and just want to be convinced that it's worth getting. :p

Welp, looks like Atlus is releasing the PS1 version of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment on PSN, so that kills all hope of ever seeing the PSP port. Which means no bonus Tatsuya scenario, no extra bosses, no new difficulty levels, no remixed music, incorrect names for places and characters and no prettied-up graphics. Really disappointed by this. I'm also kind of annoyed by the people in the NeoGaf thread who acted like this was some huge boon from Atlus and oh finally I'll be able to play the game without forking out over $100 for the PS1 version. Haven't these people ever heard of emulators? (Sorry, there's no PSP thread and I needed to complain. Plus this'll be playable on the Vita, so it's kind of on-topic!)

Fine, hopeful that the game will be good, then.

Don't worry, they'll probably break up, then get back together, then break up again and then get back together in the series finale.

Don't worry, it's only, like, ~70 hours long. You'll get through it in three days!

I do like how this is getting people hyped up about the game again, though. Because that worked out so well last time!

Weston? :p The idea of a gunslinger octopus is amusing, but I never got the impression that the first game was worth playing, so I'm not too excited about this.

It's probably because they don't expect Big Bang Theory fans to watch anything on AMC.

Well, I for one am glad we got Super Mario 3D Land over a Super Mario Galaxy port, anyway.

That was season 2, but yeah, that was a great episode. That's what I expected from this episode when they went to the mansion!

I wanted more of a horror movie/haunted house vibe. The episode didn't do as much with that as I expected. It felt really short too, for some reason. It was decent, though. There were some pretty funny lines. :p

You have? But I remember discussing the show with you and you hadn't watched it then. Either I'm losing my mind or you have an evil twin. I should get his number.

Clearly you've never watched Friends! I'm glad to hear you've finally watched Archer. > Archer > > > > > > > > Cougar Town

Says the guy who likes New Girl! I think Cougar Town is watchable, but out of the sitcoms I still watch, it's near the bottom. Have you watched Archer yet? Because that's awesome.

I still don't think Cougar Town deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Community.

Well, not having played the first two games, he wouldn't know what she used to be like. He should just be happy he'll never have to meet Kaidan.
