@KidRisky no one is celebrating, just stating fact, but there are better reasons. His politics were abhorrent. He’s one of the big reasons the affordable care act lost the public option. He almost ran as John McCains running mate instead of Sarah palin. As a human being, I do not judge; as a politician, you had to vote for the lesser of two evils, and he may have been the lesser. I don’t judge your vote either. But his politics were awful. And he was about as pro-war as they come. His decisions led to lives lost and destroyed, more fatalities than mortal kombat ever had.
Trying to ban video games wasn’t even the worst thing he did. He was one of the most rigidly conservative democrats ever and tried to gimp the party at every turn. He firebombed the public option from the affordable care act, for one. He was a shill. Hate to speak ill of the dead but as far as his politics, f that guy.
I never noticed how much “JRPG” actually gets used until after the Yoshi-P comment. Back in the day, it was not used. CRPG meant console rpg back then, vs PCRPG. Now crpg obviously means computer rpg. And now “JRPG” is basically meaningless—yet still a loaded term.
I played arena but didn’t really get it. Daggerfall was still the best tho! Loved oblivion, but Skyrim removed so much complexity and killed so many of the simulation elements.

Re: Joe Lieberman, The Senator Who Tried To Ban Mortal Kombat, Has Passed Away
@Andee yeah in his defense (not that I’m defending him), the modern MK games are disgusting. So is their gameplay bankruptcy

Re: Flashback: The Fallout Ad Which Mocked JRPGs Like Final Fantasy And Dragon Quest
Bunch of westerners saying “JRPG isn’t offensive” is about like a bunch of white people saying racial slurs aren’t offensive.

There needs to be a yuzo koshiro collection. Or an ancient corp collection.

Re: Someone Has Finally Found A Use For The NES Expansion Port
Someone should do something with the snes expansion port too.
Re: 'The Transylvania Adventure Of Simon Quest' Is Basically A New Castlevania
I’d probably buy this now if it was out on Xbox. I feel like I’ve been waiting ages, but I think it was only ever announced last year.
