@Jack: Would have been nice if you'd waited for me to get online before you let the killer act. When stuff happens in the middle of the night or early morning (UK Time) there's not much I can do. In any case I'm now out of mobile data until the 15th so I'm only able to access the internet from...

Step 4 is to understand that jokes don't lose all worth because they've been used before.

I guess... Newcastle? Or Southern Newcastle Literal Hell Sunderland?

We were supposed to shower together at my Secondary School, all of ten years ago. It was very weird, and after the first couple of weeks nobody really showered. The gym teacher didn't help. He wouldn't force you to strip but if he saw that you hadn't showered he'd make you go in or give you...

@DCJF: Hah. I see what you did. The tricksters can't interfere if you both voted for someone who they can't, or don't expect, to target with their abilities. Thus the killer gets his win by draw. Well played. Since I'm not sure if you knew I planned to betray you, well, I did. I hate throwing...

Watching people deflect bullets with a sword was one of the best bits of Advent Children. Not that it mattered- in the established Final Fantasy continuity, a gun ranks somewhere below spitting on enemies as a way of dealing damage.

Yep. Europa Universalis 4 has made me more familiar with countries historical names than with their current ones. Though in my case I call Thailand 'Ayyuthaya' and Cambodia 'Khmer'. For more fun, call Russia 'Muscovy' but pronounce the v as a w. 'Oh look, Muscowy just annexed Crimea from...

@DCJF: I have only one thing to say to this.

As someone in the US, you have no idea when it comes to delays to ATLUS games. Stupid Europe haters...

@Armadox: I love it. A pair of animu eyes would make it fit with the theme a little more.

I picked it up recently and have about 10 hours on it. It flew completely under my radar until I heard about it on a recent episode of the co-optional podcast in which Jesse Cox rants about how much he hates it. All I could think while he was explaining why he hated it was 'Boy, this game sounds...

Does this mean that we'll get Apocalypse sooner than a year after it launches in North America? Or will Atlus USA's general hatred for Europe and everyone who lives there once again cause us to wait ages for a digital only release? And what's wrong with Deep Silver? I've heard of them in...

I'm glad you asked! This is just stuff that I have played/looked into. So yes, I think the answer is that there is plenty of good stuff to play on the PSVita if you look for it. Just don't go expecting a huge number of AAA western titles because those don't come to handhelds any more.

I must be a freak because I actually liked Conquest. The characters being more interesting than the bland do-gooders of Birthright along with better gameplay made it far better for me. I really can't say which one is better; Birthright has worse gameplay and characters but a better story as...
