I've never played a Final Fantasy game (more out of chance than choice) but I will still concur with absolutely no hesitation. Bravely Default is an absolute gem of a JRPG.

Amen to that! Evolution, of course. Just because I have an invisible best friend (read: I am Catholic) doesn't mean I should automatically shun other beliefs, especially if there's a mountain of evidence for it. I treat my faith and science like the two opposing attorneys in a Phoenix...

I've never seen Steam as DRM. I've always seen it as a registration/download service. I can microwave my discs and fill my computer with sand and I'll still have access to my favourite games if I've bought them on Steam. I own a Wii, and I'd be more than happy to buy a Wii U when they release...

I really want to facepalm, but under the circumstances I shouldn't put my hand near my head. Microsoft: finally supporting single-player. NextBox: Redefining gamer girls. Microsoft releases new form of motion-controlled entertainment. Microsoft: no longer living up to its name...

I must be some form of retarded societal outcast, because I don't watch a movie (or... experience a form of entertainment), enjoy it, then nitpick it until I find all it's flaws and decide it sucked all along. I just enjoy the damn thing. Yeah. I said it. The only thing I can say I don't like...

Nintendo has always been my favourite out of the three companies, for one reason. Microsoft and Sony make their money mainly from their third party games and subscription services, and are only confident enough with their consoles to up graphics capability a tiny bit, slap on a bigger number and...

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like the blue critter (and yes, I know I'm in the minority as far as Sonic and his mates are concerned). I started with Adventure 2, and I liked the different play styles - fast-paced twitch-reflexes running broken up by the slower play of Tails and...

Yes, I do believe that dubstep is music, and I don't believe that the effort that is put into something is what makes it. Yes, the more effort you put into something the better it is, and is thus more worthy of respect, but it is not what defines art. I've never heard of choir or symphony...

I despise people that have the mindset that they will believe X and will ignore - not even feebly attempt to deny, just effing ignore - all evidence, logic, and reasoning to the otherwise. Especially Christians, in relation to the Bible. Excuse me while I rant. Wow, I feel a lot better...

And I roll: paper manipulation. The ability to shape, compress, sharpen, multiply, and repair paper, to name a few abilities. If I hone my skill, I reckon I could make a paper tank, telekinetically-powered flying suit of armour, incredibly badass sword, etc. Oh shit, the anime power I respect...

Dammit! How and why did I not see this sooner?!? Oh well. Thanks Gavin, you've turned my dreary day of mowing the lawn into an awesome day of vocal adventure! While I mow the lawn. And yes, I meant "day." It's a big lawn.

I can't really do anything here other than stand on the fence. Every game has the potential to be fun. Platformer, PRG, FPS, Linear, Open World, Sandbox; every type of game under the sun, they all appeal to some part of our consciousness that likes to be stimulated. But on the other hand, we...

It's simple. RTFM is absolutely essential. You have no idea how annoying it is to be constantly asked the simplest of questions that could be answered by taking a minute out of your own damn time and reading it yourself. Of course, if the questioner regularly does their own research with TFM...

Psychological horror, all the way. You can prepare for a shock, but there's no escaping something that lives in your mind and breathes your fear.

I was once invited to a D&D session. Before I could make my mind up whether to play or to run away, angry, scared and confused like a demented wolf that had it's tail ripped off by a Hills Hoist, the invite faded away. Apparently D&D was hard enough to set up, let alone play. So if they're...
