It's really funny that Sony is collapsing in on itself and no one seems to be aware of it at all since the PS4 is still doing fine.

My understanding is that while 3ds has a sleep function it isn't phone-like like the Vita one, right? Imo the sleep function makes the Vita. I can wake up, grab my Vita from the shelf behind me, and be in a game of Luftrausers or wherever I was in Persona literally about 2 seconds later, and the Vita still has plenty of battery life.

So my primary source of gaming news for a while has been Joystiq. Joystiq is going under. I require a Joystiq replacement. Somebody help me out.

I kind of miss when Video Game Article had one-sentence reviews, because those were a pretty good, quick way to see if there were any new releases I might have any interest in, but in their absence I guess I could just continually scan this forum for new threads. It's just more time-consuming.

"His minimal collection of furniture is almost all rented, including the springy beige sofa he got just a few months ago, after he arranged to have several video-game journalists over and realized he had nowhere for them to sit."

Buying a crazy toy and then not having the foresight to own essentials (like, chairs) is pretty manchildy. Not jealous, just confused as to why no one in games journalism has the balls to point out how ridiculous this guy is.

I agree that jonathan blow is an idiot douche, but he made a good game and the next one is probably gonna be good too even though he's a lovely person

Has anyone played TOR since the Revan stuff came out and if so, is it still bad? I saw a thread about it in MMO HMO but obviously they can't be trusted, I liked KOTOR so Revan stuff sounds pretty cool if the game isn't poo poo anymore.

Was stux going nuts about Chie before a couple of days ago? In the Vita thread, I mentioned how I thought the Persona 4 cast was really tropey and two-dimensional. I sent the thread into a tailspin of crisises but with anime, and stux started getting mad over Chie being questioned I guess? That was all well and funny but now it's been like two days and I'm starting to worry that I broke him

Just go through the vita thread with a flamethrower since the vita is a really good system and has some really awesome games IMO

I actually don't really care about it that much (unless it's obviously creepy and weird like that one MMO HMO post I reported in the pic kewpuh posted) but it's always fun to watch people come and try to defend it. I learned that from watching the immolation of the senran kagura thread, the gassing of the dota thread (this is what really enamored me to elf help book) and the picture thread (i'm still not happy that people couldn't restrain themselves there thus losing us that thread).

anime is like dubstep in that you can say something is less dubstep, but its all still dubstep and at the end of the day someone is blowing a fog horn into your ears

just embrace the fact that you like it imho

Great analogy.

I don't get why you guys are taking anime so seriously, I just like good things and I've noticed that the more anime and mallgothy things get, the more I just kinda don't want to even bother. Like, things that are super anime come off as some sort of mix as skeevy and childish, like the kinda poo poo we all loved when we were 15. You know, themes like "Let's use the magic of friendship to kill this deity, also here are some teenagers with K-cups and I don't mean coffee", and well, aren't we all pushing 30 by now? Maybe I've been on the forums too long, but I kinda feel like we should have all grown past that.

The whole mallgothy thing is a lot easier to explain and pretty much the same deal - games like Majora's Mask or Kingdom Hearts are exactly the kind of games you'd expect teenagers who hang out at Hot Topic to discuss in detail. You guys don't play Elmo's Number Journey for N64 and talk about how it's totally a hidden gem on the N64 because it's a game tailor-made for toddlers, why would you play a game made for troubled teenagers? And I know I should probably call them emo games or whatever these days but I'm old enough to actually be a teenager when mallgoths were a thing.

I know Shin Megami Tensei IV is fairly anime and kind of mallgothy, but at least it's written well enough so that anyone can enjoy it. Not that a game being mallgothy really means it's bad or anything, just usually out of your age range. It's good enough to not be full-on mallgothy (because Lord knows its theme fits like a glove), but the mallgoth barometer pretty much means "this is deep to 15 year olds who hate their parents and society but looks dumb to anyone past that". Same goes for anime.

I mean, gently caress, how could it get any simpler? Just play games made for your mental level. And I'm sure we've all mentally surpassed our teen years, right?

What's the forum stance on really old game emulation these days? I was going to post my Imp Zone DQ 3 thing, but I want to play the browser version so that I can do it from wherever and I don't know if that's kosher.

e: oh, it looks like it's NOT kosher, if the LP thread is any indication. NM
