E&B was the first MMO that had me interested enough to break out of my MUD habit (I still have my E&B Beta t-shirt, heh). I couldn’t justify $15 per month at the time after years of MUDs (the winner for that was Auto Assault), but it was incredibly enjoyable while in beta, particularly […]

Squall Leonheart always talks

Squall Leonheart always talks… to himself (to a wall??) XD
I remembered a scene in the game after the SeeD graduation ball of Squall and Quistis:
Squall: Are you done yet…? I don’t wanna talk about it. What am I supposed to
say about other people’s problems?
Quistis: I’m not asking you to say anything. I just want you […]

@theaceoffire

@theaceoffire…Yeah, I should have said, you get more Adam immediately. I have played it both ways, but I like the ending when you rescue them all better. I think it’s the worst part of the game though. If you harvest even ONE, you get the crappy ending. I think they could have made it so […]

I don’t see the point in not playing a game because of a single character you don’t like. There are many other characters in FFX that in my opinion, make up for Tidus’s flaws. How can a game be interesting if all of the characters are likable and the same. This would be boring I […]

that’s the thing about a silent protagonist: a mute character allows the player to use their imagination and perceive the character any way they choose. Zarokima’s (sarcastic) interpretation is no less accurate than my own, in which Crono is a young man who loves kittens, trains in his free time with a katana, […]

1) if you didnt like the dark knight you’re a soulless shell

1) if you didnt like the dark knight you’re a soulless shell.
2)It took you playing through 70% of the game to figure out it was a single player shooter ? all single player fps games are like bioshock in essence. you shoot things, they die, you move on, maybe kill some bosses, advance […]

I kind of hated Lloyd Irving in ToS

I kind of hated Lloyd Irving in ToS. He was too perfect. "I DONT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE RACISM IS WRONG ILL KILL MY ENTIRE TEAM IF IT MEANS SOLVING RACISM AAAAAAAAAA" Ugh. To be honest though, there weren’t many characters there that I was particular fond of anyway.
There needs to be more characters like […]

honestly i liked FF8, squall reminded me of when i was younger

honestly i liked FF8, squall reminded me of when i was younger. A little bit of a loner, a little bit angry at everyone and everything, a little bit awkward around women, but squall came around because of his friends and so did i. If you really want to hate ff8 for a […]

BS at silent protagonists

BS at silent protagonists. Sure, it’s a dated concept, but back when games were more simple it wasn’t a bad idea. The entire purpose of a silent hero is to allow the player to put their own inflection on the character, which would hopefully make the character likable to a larger number of people than […]

I’m surprised Sony doesn’t rip on the hardware failures of the 360. But it’s gotta be killing them to know that a console that is so prone to breaking is beating the shit out of their great hardware.
What is the PS3 attach rate compared to the 360? lmao. That makes them very bitter i’d […]
