    Awesome trailers for video games

    "...new graphics and 3D appearance lift this into the stratosphere." - Ultra Game Players Damn straight. Look all them polygons! There's also an old trailer for Final Fantasy VIII that I love, but can't seem to find anymore. It even has amusing animations, yo, so stop dragon your feet...

    Favorite film fight scenes

    Also, Warrior has plenty of great fights. The only thing I disliked about the movie was that Kurt Angle doesn't get to fight Bane. Angle would totally break Bane's ankle.

    Your Favorite Quote?

    That would be Phil Brooks AKA Chick Magnet Punk.

    Your Favorite Quote?

    "Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor is naked. The truth and the lie are not 'sort of the same thing'. And there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life, that can't be improved with...

    Favorite episode of any childhood tv show

    The first episode of Pokémon. I think I got into the cards before the show began its run here, not sure though. One way or another I knew the show was coming, and I was pretty damn excited for it. And then, when the day came, I had to go visit my grandparents. I wasn't happy about it. I first...

    What is your favorite weapon in any video game ever? (or couple of favorite weapons)

    Cloud's Buster Sword of course. The only thing that comes even close is Guts' Dragonslayer. Squall's Revolver and Seifer's Hyperion share the distant third place. I kid! The correct answer is Excalipoor.

    Looking for shows/books/films about lonely people getting friends

    The Legend of Black Heaven AKA Kacho-Ouji - Hard Rock save the Space. A show about a has-been rockstar, now a middle-aged salaryman, living a life with no spark left in it. That is, until he meets an alien lady, who tells him that only his guitar can save the universe. To do this he needs to put...

    Rampant nerd fanboyism you want to beat with a stick.

    Nothing wrong with that, though it might be a slippery slope. I don't think it's solely an issue of socialization, as long as you have more than introspection and ceiling-gazing in your life: a routine, a career, a goal, a person... Anything that keeps you from thinking yourself to death. Doing...

    Rampant nerd fanboyism you want to beat with a stick.

    It does at that. I've read both the manga and the novel, and while the anime is still my favorite, it's also the easiest to misinterpret. Every time I hop on Youtube to listen to the (amazing) soundtrack, without fail I will see comments in the vein of "HIKKY PRIDE 4 LYFE!" That's just dangerous...

    Phoenix Wright HD Gets All Touchy-Feely May 30th

    Man, I remember when my brand new 3GS was the hypest shit around, running games like Chaos Rings and Infinity Blade. And Phoenix Wright, obviously. Three years I waited for this, and now I'd bet good money that 3GS isn't supported. If anyone wants to take that bet, I'll use my winnings to buy a...

    What do you want in a console?

    PS2 had everything I wanted from a console. No extra bullshit to get between me and my games, and memory cards big enough to hold more than a handful of saved games. If only I could just plug in my X360 controller, it'd be perfect. PS controllers are so small that they slip right through my...

    Naruto tropes flipped on their head: Does that make it better? Does that redeem its bad reputation?

    Orochimaru never gave a shit about anything but techniques and immortality, and as it turns out, he was pretty much immortal already. My guess is he's just curious to see how it all ends up, so why not nudge things along a bit? As for Sasuke, he wants to honor Itachi, as well as fix the...

    Team Builds Life Size X-Wing With Legos

    That's hideous!

    Rampant nerd fanboyism you want to beat with a stick.

    I just found a particular breed of fan that does bother me: Welcome to the NHK fans who think that the show encourages hikikomori behavior. I'm not one to kick people when they're down, but it really isn't something you should be proud of... It's not a fucking lifestyle, it's a complete and...

    Rampant nerd fanboyism you want to beat with a stick.

    That would depend on your definition of a 'hater'. Yahtzee for example gets away with it scot-free, because not only is he funny while doing it, he usually has a point, and he has a genuine love for the medium. Tough love isn't a sign of what I'd consider to be a 'hater'. Au contraire! A...
