Blast from the past - ps2 edition

As a huge jrpg fan, it probably wouldn't make sense to most folks if I said I didn't own a ps2. But alas, Super Smash Bros. Melee was too appealing. Now, a generation later, I've finally gotten lucky, by which I mean a good friend has a backwards compatible ps3 and didn't need his ps2 anymore. After a quick browse through amazon...Xenosaga ep.1, Star ocean, Valkyrie Profile 2, Mana khemia, .hack//infection, odin sphere, shadow of the colossus, silent hill 2, We love Katamari...I've extended my backlog quite a ways...and I only have 2 months of summer left before school. Wat do?

This makes me sad

"What happened was,God Handwas a game that the director enjoyed making. The enjoyment is the thing he apologized for, in that recent interview. He apologized for having made something that he enjoyed making, without thinking about what, maybe, other people would enjoy playing or seeing.God Handcertainly isn't a work of art — or maybe it is, because it isn't — and Mikami certainly isn't an artist. One of the most common complaints haters make about the films of Quentin Tarantino is that all he's doing is making the films he personally would like to see. They call this "self-centered," or some other adjective. Is it a bad thing to make something you like? The people calling it self-centered are maybe being more egotistical than the director who makes films he likes, because they're assuming that all people assume no one else anywhere is anything else like them."

I haven't played Godhand, but that idea about developers being forced to make sequels, instead of new IPs (which DON'T sell 5 million copies), to me, signals the death of the golden age of videogames. I'm looking at you, Activision.

Love Plus

I don't understand how this game is so popular.

There's no hole.

Where's the hole guys?

How am I supposed to love this thing if there's no hole?

Kick-Ass exceded expectations in every way imaginable

Nicholas Cage redeems himself from National Treasure

An 11 year old girl says the C-word (not enough people say that word these days)

A guy gets shot out of a window with a bazooka

It's like Kill Bill but with super heroes

I can only recommend it; I have an inferiority complex about writing reviews ever since I started reading Roger Ebert's stuff

Globalization

"Losing diversity is no longer an option, foolish faceless man. Immigration can't be turned back. The global market no longer tolerates isolationism. The grand tides of humanity have always moved and mixed peoples and nations; if it now happens to move a little faster than people like, well, the people are the ones that will have to adapt. You can try to crawl back into a stagnant hole somewhere to maintain your oh-so-precious table manners and festival days, but I doubt highly that you will succeed."

If only tea-baggers were this rational

Decade of fastest wealth creation for top 1% results in decade of worst job creation and largest decline in median income.

CUT TAXES FOR THE RICH THEY SAID

"I would graciously like to point out to anon that giving money to your corporate backers is basically the antithesis of socialism.
then again, i'm guessing he watches glenn beck and thinks that fascism = communism and that a democrat trying to mandate health care is a horrible attack on the constitution while a republican saying the government can detain US citizens, not charge them with a crime, and subject them some nice "enhanced interrogation" is fine and dandy."

I did my part

Support this game! Even if you don't have a wii ( although, IF you have SFIV don't bother with this, it's not as good)

I'm too lazy to review it, and I'm terrible at fighting games. Plus,everyone online picks Ryu, and they spam Hadouken every single ****ing time. I'm not cut out for this.
