People pick on JRPGs for the same reason kids pick on the weedy ginger non-swimmer-they make for an easy target. Characters and storylines are embarrasingly trite and cliched at best, a structurless mess only Freud would relish plowing through at worst (yes, there are exceptions for the pedants...

Servers need work - The Rwanda and Darfur ones are atrocious. Big event on Iraq server succesful(ish). Not as good as the BIG one on the french server.

Just for that, I'm actualy going to be nice to the next hapless fool they put through to my desk... :)

Nah, what you just described is girlishness. Femininity is, well, er, its um, I can't really come up with a robust objective description, but its that thing women do that slashes my IQ in half and makes me do things like a mindless puppet. Not to sound bitter, its really quite brilliant-wish I...

Marshal Shadeville - he sounds like a maverick private investigator who skirts the law but is basically a good bloke. I like Marshal Shadeville

Just had a chap at work call in by the name of Titus Priestley. No dount he was the butt of a thousand tit jokes at school, but I think that name sounds effin cool, and am half seriously considering pinching it. Sounds like the kind of bloke who writes a bestseller, flys planes, or a number of...

Cool, someone else noticed. It's only took a year. Either he's an appaling cynic garnering a career from commenting on a media he loathes to an audience he despises, or he's a shit comic dragging out the same one act ad nauseum. He needs a break in the same way my Grandad's having a 'long...

No, that just make you one of those tiresome, earnest teenagers. Like a flatulent fat bloke in a lift-it's not your fault really, but I still don't want to be in there with you. Thing is, if you're a teenager, the odds are you're an irritating twat- this isn't an insult, I was an irritating...

I dunno, it's a complete mystery now you mention it. I suppose we must have just conjured up the image out of nowhere with no basis in reality whatsoever-because now you mention it, Teenagers are renowned for their rational, well-informed opinions, considerate behaviour, modest attitudes and...

Depends on whether or not you made it home last night...

Er, isnt that a data entry job? I've been doing that bugger for years. The graphics are shit and the gameplay hasnt changed in decades.

I'm starting a games company with a friend at the moment. We're starting small (as we have two people, two machines and some open source freebie software), making flash games like Tower defence and all that nonsense, but I have high hopes that one day I'll be rich and succesful, and in a...

These companies arent outside the law, merely ran by the lawmakers. I understand that any suggestion that our great captains of industry are greedy controlling sociopaths marks you a looney conspiracy theorist, so I'll say no more and leave it to you to research the careers of leading...

This is one of those issues where people on all sides ignore the elephant in the room, because when you look at it honestly there is no clear target to lay the blame on, and the solution to the problem involves change for all concerned-and people don't like change. It's easy to label piracy as...

Rares never been the same since all the good people buggered off to form Free Radical.
