I know it's easy enough to find it, and most people reading this article probably have the site bookmarked, but that still doesn't excuse the fact that you didn't include a direct link.
@xCh0z3n0n3x Because games are about more than graphics, and there are some games that aren't generic enough to simply replace with newer ones? I'd like to see you find a Vita equivalent of the PSP Disgaea port.
@freelancer91 As a side note, if you're going to criticize a film that smart people enjoy, it makes your arguments easier to dismiss as coming from an idiot if you misspell the name, especially if you get it wrong TWICE, it's "Inglorious Basterds" not "Inglorious Bastards".
@Knives Chau I get the feeling that when he says "bland" he means "not an over the top action movie where the sole purpose of the 'story' is to chain fights together." Thing is, if you actually look at the state of film these days, what he wants is the god damn DEFINITION of bland. Hell, he'd probably call "Pulp Fiction" bland 'cause there was so little killing.
@eat it "Yeah, I see the irony." Ok, irony is hard to define in any consistent or concrete manner, and I get that different people see it differently, but seriously? As much as this situation sucks, as unfair as their decision to give japan preferential treatment is, there isn't any irony involved. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you aren't sure what a word means, don't use it till you know, you'll look pretty dumb if you're wrong. For your education, the two main forms of irony are regular irony, wherein events transpire in a manner inconsistent with what could be expected, frequently in such a manner as to be comical; and tragic irony, typical to Greek tragedies, wherein the full significance of something a character says or does is only understood by the audience. Sorry for the long diatribe, but this just really annoys me.
@aristokrat There are times when you should use a command line, and times when a GUI is simply better: I don't know about you, but I can move a file from one directory to another a LOT quicker by just dragging it in a GUI than I can by using a command line.
@Zoot Suit Jedi Grammar Hammer En Kid was already tired of jokes about Bastion narration, and he hadn't even played it yet, he worried the narration itself might be grating at this point, he bought it anyway.
@Punkrawk Bbob Overall, it posted a loss of ¥48.4 billion ($620M). I'd call losing money a loss, this isn't just a dropping stock price. We'll see how next year goes though, this is gonna be a little tricky for Nintendo because it's a new business model for them. With the DS and the Wii, Nintendo made money on hardware sales, but the 3DS is subsidized by them since the price drop, so they need to make up for it with stronger hardware sales.
