This is an old PSX demo that came out after FFVI. Why are we seeing this again?

I agree with Trigo about the salt. I'm convinced people just salt things out of habit. An old roommate from Hawaii shared a powerful salt candy with me once. Of course he didn't tell me what it was. It was so strong that I couldn't eat it. I can't remember what it was called, but it warned me away w...

If you're an atheist you can celebrate anything you damn well please. That's what I do. Christmas can mean different things to different people. For me it has always been about family. I stopped exchanging gifts though. Maybe I'm a socialist tit but the Christmas shopping season just depressed me to...

There's a book store here called Third Place Books. Upstairs they are attached to the Honey Bear Bakery, and downstairs is a small beer and wine bar. It's the best place I've found for drinking beer and reading quietly. It's a great place for doing homework too, if you're like me and being tipsy mak...

My housemate has a Wii and Twilight Princess. I played it for a while. I herded some goats, knocked down a beehive, rescued a basket from a monkey, and was catching fish for a cat when I decided that the whole thing was a colossal waste of time. Is there a game in there somewhere?

If you can get them to work on XP, try the X-Com games. The first two are fantastic and Apocalypse is still pretty good. It's a real shame the franchise sunk.

I'm reading Taiko by Eiji Yoshikawa. Sounds like something my brother might be into. He's been studying Japanese language and history in his spare time. Can't say why, but he's read a stack of James Clavell's books. I'm trying to read A Fable by William Faulkner and The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas P...

The system is really slick, but the story sucks and the characters are boring. It was produced by the guy who did Tactics so no surprise there.

What? Since when do we need wolves to kill deer for us? We're human beings! When we want a species hunted to extinction we do it ourselves!

I went to see Pan's Labyrinth about a week ago. I really like it as do most of the people I know who've seen it. The story is pretty formula but the visual style is amazing. Even if you don't think you'd like it, check it out just to see the fantasy scenes. The story is set in Franco's Spain, which ...

I'm a game-oholic! I can't live without game-ohol! My understanding of so-called game addiction (and I suppose I've lived it) is that it's a form of escape. Without an MMO, players might go read comics or watch television for hours. What's unique about MMOs is that they're competitive and that they ...

As Xuenay's textbook says, the key to evolution is not survival but reproduction. A person with a misshapen chest would not be genetically superior from an evolutionary standpoint because no one wants to screw someone with a grody chest. In this situation the normal-chested person is the "fitte...
