@Pffrbt Final Fantasy was given it's name because Square was on the brink of bankruptcy and the new RPG they made(in 1987) was their final fantasy to turn profit.
I thought that Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons was kinda silly. What a useless suffix. of course they're two sons if they're brothers. What will the next chapter be? Cousins: A Tale of Two Kids Whose Mothers Are Sisters?
I'm eagerly waiting for The Witcher 3 and Star Citizen. Planning to upgrade my 2009 pc just for them, assuming either of them actually comes out in 2014.
Excellent! Danny acting like Rocky's trainer, an acoustic guitar song about being an asshole and Jhonny wearing a dress! Hell I'm Jewish and I'm feeling the christmas spirit right now!
@jimdove2 Donating that money does exactly the opposite of what you said. Research is being conducted by academies(Hospitals, Universities etc) and they usually get funding from a pharmaceutical company to keep their research in exchange for the company to have some legal rights over it.
If you give the money directly to the research groups you basically cut off the pharmaceutical companies and allow the research to go out as it is to the public.
@Darth_Aloysius @Mevrick @Verenti When I'm talking to people I don't know very well, and I want to make a point I saw in a video game's story, I just say I saw it in some movie. It's ridiculous to think the point I made is taken seriously when I say it's from a movie\book rather than a video game, but that's just how it is.
To be fair it's not only about games. South Park for example is considered just a string of vulgar toilet humor by anyone who doesn't watch it. But those who do watch it knows it's the best social satire in the world. But if you have a social discussion with a person and you bring up a point made in South Park it will probably be dismissed on the spot.
@Verenti Fact of the matter is, when you talk to a person you don't know and he describes the things he likes to do, you automatically assign a certain characteristic to each thing he describes. That characteristic is based on whatever it is you think of the subject(even if it's misinformed). So he can say "I play a lot of Tennis" and you'll think he's an athlete, he'll say he's an animal activist and you'll think he's a good man\arrogant douchebag(depends on your thoughts on the matter), and if he'll say he plays video games most people think(those who don't play games obviously) he's a nerdy little kid.
@iloveyourface I remember watching a show called Xplay. I hear it's still on, but in my country it stopped airing about 8 years ago. Anyways, what I liked about the show wasn't the video game reviews, but the humor they had there. Gamers humor. They even made some Monty Python-type sketches once in a while. I think that if you're bringing someone who knows nothing about the industry for comedy purpose only it still wouldn't work right because every comedian has a base audience that likes his humor.
