Except he said something about how all life choices eventually boil down to picking the color of the explosion, so I'd assume those are the other endings. So you know, you might want to read the comic a little more carefully next time. (I got spoiled too.)

Despite your death threats, I voted for Ni No Kuni DS. While I'm drooling over the crossover, it's gotten the overwhelming majority anyways on the poll. So might as well support my other main interest. :D

"No combs have to be combined with shoelaces to form makeshift grappling hooks.." Nice reference, right there, Yahtzee. :D

Interesting review- but I would've like to know what you thought of the plot. And doesn't Pokemon have very deep gameplay? The raising pokemon side looks complicated, and the battling side has a lot a variety in strategies. Oh, well. I ordered this game off Amazon- when I get it, I'm gonna go...

I liked him before he got popular. >:D No, just kidding. But I've been following him for a while, and I loved this video. It's been popping up across the net, but I certainly did not expect to see it at the Escapist. :P

Just because the tech is old doesn't mean it can't be innovative. It depends on how you use the technology. People call the Wii innovative because it tried something new with gaming. How that turned out is up for debate, certainly, but you can't say Nintendo didn't take a risk with the Wii...

I personally don't know what to think. On one hand, R4s and other flashcarts can be used for non-illegal purposes, like homebrew games. On the other, I've never seen any of the people who have them ever use them for that purpose, instead just pirating games. I've also noticed that the piracy...

It was kinda fun reading this article- while I managed to get through most of Portal by myself, my siblings watched me for the final part-and it was pretty fun. Especially when I accidentally fell into the pit with the last core. :P But seriously, this was really heartwarming to read. I'm...

Never heard of it before, but it sounds interesting enough to check out. It's a shame that the game didn't do well- it sounded like a great idea.

Uh... no. Yes, there's good games and there's bad games. But genre matters. Some people just don't like certain types of genres(like Yahtzee with RTS games), and may just like other ones better. I'm more interested in platforming games than, say, simulation games, and more in music games, than...

Actually, I find it kind of strange that you didn't think of it earlier, considering your avatar's Minamimoto. :P

The World Ends With You would be the most lasting example. Mostly because you'd have to change the entire combat system in order to port it properly.

Odd. I think that ZippyDSMlee mentioned subs in his previous post... but that's all water under the bridge by now. And my conclusion most certainly was not very constructive... I think I got a bit cranky. -_-; And yes, I have gone to the original blogpost to support a localization. I made an...

That's what it sounds like, yeah, but each of the 'levels' they're talking about have 4 acts each. And each act is a level. So it sounds like a better deal now, right? :D I'm not going to get caught up in the argument about this game. Just wanted to clarify something.

Wait, from where do you get the impression that the game will have subpar translation. Looking at the previous games from both series, it's easy to at least have a little faith in them. Also, you were talking about how the developer should just insert Engrish into the games and how it would...
