    What did you get for Christmas?

    For those who can't see, that's both volumes of the manga Barrage, two omnibus volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist, a 3DS, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pokémon X, an iPhone case, and some candy.

    Worst game you've ever played?

    MySims Party (I don't know why, don't ask), Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi, and Bubsy 3D. I'd nominate Superman 64, but I actually had a bit of fun trying to see how much I could break it, so I guess that makes it so bad, it's good. I try to avoid bad games when possible, so I don't have many...

    Worst song you've ever heard?

    I would like to point out that she also considers "boobs boobs boobs boobs lotta boobs" to be good song writing. OT: Anything Will.i.am has made recently; "Scream & Shout", "#thatPOWER" (yes, the song's title contains a Twitter hashtag), and pretty much anything else on his album #willpower...

    What do you want in the new Super Smash Bros that isn't a particular character?

    I'd like to see the bonuses from Melee make a return. I always liked challenging myself to see if I could get every bonus within the span of a few fights. Specific Break the Targets stages for each character would be nice, too. The stages in Melee and 64 challenged the player to master that...

    Are there any examples of good American box art?

    The European box art can go either way, it seems. For 1 and 3, it uses the same "main character and little else" formula that the American box art uses now, but for 2, it's a scaled down version of the Japanese box art. I don't know what the European box art for Disgaea 4 is, however.

    Are there any examples of good American box art?

    A trend I've seen with Japanese box art for RPGs compared to American box art is that Japanese art tends to focus on the group and American art tends to focus on the self. This tends to result in the Japanese box looking like a cluttered, ugly mess since it tries too hard to show every major...

    What do you think of rap?

    Meh. Some of it's alright. As previously mentioned by other posters, most modern mainstream rap songs are the same "cash money hoes" anthem over and over, usually by members of Young Money (Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, etc.). The Beastie Boys, Eminem (before Encore, at least), Lupe Fiasco...

    First exposure to Japanese animation

    The first anime I ever watched was Pokémon, but in that case, I only watched it occasionally and didn't keep up with the show. The first anime I ever cared about was Digimon Tamers, after I read the first volume of a manga based off of it in 3rd grade.

    JonTron takes a hiatus from GameGrumps

    I unsubbed from Game Grumps a while back. It'd just devolved into Jon and Arin talking about shit unrelated to the game, singing and screaming at random, and being terrible at the games they were playing (Sonic '06's later episodes, Naughty Bear, and Arin's playthrough of Star Fox 64). I'd...

    The guilty pleasure thread (Irony-free zone)

    You're not alone; I agree 100%. OT: I have 3OH!3, Limp Bizkit, Nicklelback, Chris Brown, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, One Direction, The Wanted, and Taylor Swift songs on my iPhone, as well as a few Korean boy bands. I enjoyed Dead or Alive 3 and Final Fantasy XIII. I also liked the Witchblade anime...

    The Most Recent Thing You Bought

    Game Dev Story for my iPhone. It's a pretty good game, go play it. As for physical items, some shirts: Queen, Green Day, Minecraft, Harry Potter, and Power Rangers. Also, Skyrim, but technically my brother bought that for me, so it doesn't really count.

    Top 5 series you wish to see released again

    Don't know if you knew, but there was a DBZ RPG for the DS called Attack of the Saiyans, which was developed by Monolith Soft, the developers of Xenoblade Chronicles. So, maybe that will help. OT: There is a significant lack of Jet Set Radio in this thread. Shameful. Also: Tomba! Diddy...

    feeling good in my fighting games

    Street Fighter IV, Super Smash Bros. (all three games, but Brawl the most, and 64 the least), Marvel vs. Capcom, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, and, if I can find my copy, Marvel vs. Capcom 3. If they count, then Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. SSIV...

    Anyone ever had broken consoles?

    2 of my family's 360s have RROD'd, and my first Wii crashed while I was playing some anime game (probably a Dragon Ball game) and stopped reading discs for some reason. My Game Boy Color died somehow, but since I think it previously belonged to my brother, he might be to blame. Oddly, my N64...
