Swag Sunday: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers (Wii) [update]
Feb 14th 2010 8:38PM (Joystiq)Basically, when I'm put at the wheel of anything, it's trouble, and if you add in the complexities of the airship, I'm as dangerous as any unspeakable horror from beyond.
Little Burger King's promotion for Little King's Story
Aug 23rd 2009 6:24PM (Joystiq Nintendo)I saw McDonald's like crazy, Wendy's often, and Subway in Tokyo. Never saw a Burger King.
When my friend moved here from Japan, she asked what made Burger King different from McDonald's, as she had never seen one there.
Therefore, I must assume that they are not common at all, and this is to be taken as a minor promotion at a minor food chain.
McCartney's replica Rock Band bass looks awesome, backwards
May 12th 2009 12:58PM (Joystiq)Left-handed guitars and basses were very expensive when the Beatles started, and they weren't exactly swimming in money at Liverpool.
Paul played a right-handed bass upside down. Don't be criticizing unless you have your facts straight, Joystiq.
And it's not like that was uncommon, either. Know who else played a right-hand guitar upside down? Name Jimi Hendrix ring a bell? I think Dick Dale did as well, and I'm just trying to think of super huge names.

Jul 10th 2008 3:09PM (Joystiq)You have seven days (I think) of maybe 5 missions a piece where you have to make items with "ingredients" and serve them. Problem is, there's only 6 "ingredients"...poultry, meat, seafood, veggies, starches, and dairy. So no seperation for pork from beef or carrots from celery, in other words. Pathetic.

Jul 13th 2007 1:18PM (Joystiq Nintendo)It's amazing how the original name for something sticks with you though, the first Harvest Moon game named the boy Jack in the instruction manual, and all my boys have been Jack in Harvest Moon since then (and most times, the girls are Jill...)
Pokemon is the breaker though, if I make a boy he has a good chance of being Ash, but if I actually play as a girl I use my real name. My husband, on the other hand, uses a version of his nickname for every game he could ever put a name in on.
