Mister Jack

I kinda hope they do a trilogy edition in the future for next gen consoles. I hate using Origin.

I beat the game last night and never found another way to refill mana besides using items.

Has anyone figured out a way to refill mana besides using items?

Danganranpo. It's like a mix between Phoenix Wright and Persona's social link elements. It's pretty neat for a VN, but man it's also pretty fucked up at times. Some of the death scenes are downright disturbing.

If you ask me, remote play alone justifies vita ownership.

This game had some pretty bitchin music.

People who don't realize that not only is poseur a word, it's the right way to spell the word they're thinking of. Read a book, assholes.

Some sneaky devils actually went and finished this game in secret after the original devs got a C&D. They even made a client for online multi.

http://www.businessinsider.com/verizon-broadband-costs-could-go-up-2014-2 I can't remember the last time I ever saw an article saying that an ISP was planning to reduce its prices. Fuckers.

Muramasa Rebirth. Good game, but unfortunately reuses a lot of backgrounds and levels. One thing I got to say about Vanillaware's artists, though, is that they draw really tasty looking food. It stuck out both in this game and in Dragons Crown.

If there is anything good about this law, it's that it serves as a good bellwether to know which states shouldn't be states.

It astounds me that such a law nearly came into existence in 2014 in the first place.

The instrument is apparently called a sheng.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

I think most people would agree that the TV show was balls. At least, I sure fucking hope so.

Did you play them back when they were still new or only years later?

I've been observing the community surrounding this twitch stream and there are a lot of people saying that democracy should be removed or that it "ruins" the game and makes it not fun. I think that when people say these things they're only showing their own failure to see things from outside their own narrow frame of reference. I don't think the introduction of democracy ruined this twitch game. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's the best thing to happen to the stream since it started. Before I go any further, I should explain that for me, it isn't about democracy being better than anarchy. I don't give a shit what mode the game is in. What I do care about is that having two modes introduces a whole new metagame into this stream that I find fascinating. This is more than just a game; it's a social experiment. If we spent the whole game with nothing but anarchy mode, then the question would just be "Can 70,000 Twitch users beat Pokemon Red?" Thanks to the Safari Zone, I can tell you quite confidently that the answer would be no, they can't. Once you introduce democracy, however, then suddenly everyone has to make a choice. Everyone following that stream since the beginning started out as an anarchist. Democracy wasn't forced on these people. No, they had to vote for it, and vote for it they did. Why? Because as nice as total and complete freedom for everyone sounded, it eventually proved impractical for actually getting shit done. A ton of anarchists compromised their principles for the sake of progress, even if they immediately voted for anarchy again once the complicated tasks were done. On the other hand, the ones who never once voted for democracy are the same people saying that it should be removed from the game entirely, and I say those people are full of shit. If anarchy is so great, then they shouldn't need to have it handed to them on a silver platter. They should have to earn their absolute freedom by proving they can still accomplish their objectives under such a system. Most of the time they don't do too bad, but when they constantly fuck up they should be reminded that their precious freedom can be taken away at any time. Not only that, but if we didn't have both of these systems set up we wouldn't have this crazy holy war going on between the Helix Cult and the Dome Cult. I've read several discussion threads, and believe me when I say that tensions are high between the followers of these two ideologies. I actually find it more interesting to watch than the game stream itself. Some of these people are practically fanatics. They want their side to win no matter what. As clever as the mod behind this stream is, I wouldn't be surprised if he/she planned out this democracy thing well in advance just to provoke this exact reaction from people. What started out as a silly and nonsensical game of Pokemon has turned into a constant struggle between two opposing philosophies, and that's way more interesting to me than an entire game of nothing but Red spazzing out constantly.

I bought it when it came out. One of the few Wii games I bothered to beat. I should replay it someone soon.

Unrelated to the twitch stream but someone sent me this.

Honestly Pokemon X is the first game I've been able to enjoy since blue/red. I stopped yellow pretty quick because it was just a rehash, and several years later I tried to play platinum and found it tedious and boring. I really don't know what it is about X that makes me enjoy it so much more, but I do. It's kind of confusing to me because the game really didn't change much.

They had to switch to democracy to do it, but yes, they beat it. Looks like at the time I write this they're at Saffron City.
