    Suikoden II - Underappreciated But Imperfect

    While it doesn't hinder this review or the validity of any points made therein, I feel it should be mentioned that one reason the Suikoden series was revered as a whole was because of their overarching storyline. Characters from past versions make everything from cameos to full returns in later...

    The Technology Help Corner.

    Hello there. I recently purchased a new computer ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103899 ) to replace my woefully out-of-date desktop, and while I'm greatly enjoying it, I'm already looking into upgrading it. The primary issue I have is two-fold, yet stems from the...

    Square Enix: Disc Based Sales Are Killing Us

    Something that has bugged me for quite some time whenever I see these game companies either accost physical retail stores or try to push digital distribution: Why not just sell the games from your own damn sites??? Would the cost of shipping these games across the country on demand REALLY cost...

    Final Fantasy VIII Getting High-Res PC Release

    I'm...not seeing anything really worth the purchase here. I don't get these HD rereleases, I really don't. The polygons get a smoothing out for bigger screens, that's it. I know it's not typically okay to be this guy, but emulation does almost the exact same thing for FREE! It doesn't look...

    Fetishes you will NEVER understand

    Here's a thought for dickgirls: They typically have both sets of genitalia, so depending on the fetishist, it could be a desire to transcend the current notions of sexuality, to be both Male and Female, to both give and receive "naturally." As for ones I, personally, can't understand: Vore...

    Gogogic CEO Says Single-Player is a "Gimmick"

    Here we have a man who has no real knowledge of video game history. Multiplayer may be popular now, but it can never trump a quality single player experience. And as for other "games" being invented with multiplayer in mind, allow me to point out that just about every game out there, barring...

    Let's Watch The Iron Man 3 Trailer

    I can deal with the giant stuffed rabbit being in Stark's Mansion. ...but why oh why does it have tits?

    If you could go back and tell your teenage self one piece of advice...

    OK, assuming this is Freshman High School me. 1. Community College allows tremendous discounts for High School students. Find some classes there and take them, you'll be thankful. 2. You don't have to go out and make a bunch of friends, but stop being so damn antisocial! Oh, and stop...

    Quotes from fictional characters that made you stop and think or have stuck with you.

    I recently chatted with a person who was afraid to seek a career in game design because he didn't want to create something that could be potentially addictive. I then remembered a quote from Suikoden 5, from the character Isabel of the Maximillian Knights. I don't remember it verbatim, but it...

    Why don't you play games on PC?

    Because touch screens don't translate well through emulators. Seriously, as of right now, that's pretty much the only time I'm not playing on my computer, when I'm playing on my DS. Of course, I've got my PS2, but the number of "new" games I can get for that are dwindling more and more...

    Jimquisition: Konami

    I found out a couple months ago that Konami has apparently disbanded their entire Suikoden team. I don't know how many people enjoyed that series, but I personally loved it. I loved the overarching story, the continuity, everything about it was just awesome. At least, everything until...

    California Congressman Demands Videogame Warning Labels [Again]

    Have to say it, sorry if it's been done: Baca is Baka! Also, just the fact that this dude is from my State...all my facepalms aren't nearly enough.

    Change ONE thing about the world.

    Give the Human Race the ability to freely alter their forms, with a few select limitations: 1. You can't change species, 2. Your form has to remain at least 80% human, and 3. You need to know what you're changing and how if you want it to come out correctly. The third is in place to allow for...

    Scientists Create Gun That Physically Stops You From Talking

    I was hoping for the same. When I clicked the link, I was thinking: Good god, we're one step closer to the world of Batman Beyond. But nope, no noise cancellation, so I'm sad.

    Games you liked but quit playing due to an (arguably) stupid problem.

    Dragon Age: Origins, for a couple reasons, really. 1. I hate both of the available Mages in the game (one's a *****, the other's just too old for my tastes), 2. I hate PLAYING as a Mage, for reasons I've never been able to fully justify, and 3. The combat system; I hated the Gambit system in...
