Not really, a show about the antics that take place in the lives of its characters is just a sitcom. Show about nothing is overselling the originality of the concept, methinks. I will fight you to the virtual death over this. 
I think I did read your Ni No Kuni review. At least the one you posted for your countdown. I don't take negative feedback to heart, I just use reviews to determine if I want to spend any money on trying something I'm not entirely sure about. I also make sure I understand why something is rated a certain way. For instance, short, linear arcadey shooter sounds great to me, and if I saw a negative review of it decrying its lack of character customization and linearity, I'd still try it, cause it sounds like something I would enjoy.
As for Disney Infinity, that does sound like fun. I really wish Sly Cooper was on Steam. I miss those games.
I didn't say it was copying Friends, I just meant that it was also a sitcom about the antics of a group of friends living in New York.
I don't own a PSP or Vita, but way to spread the good word. Getting that new year karma in early, I see. lol
Show about nothing my ass, it was just Friends with older and more neurotic people. Of course, I do like the prospect of watching you Let's Play AC: NL and dubbing everyone with terrible impressions of Seinfeld characters. You should get on that, mothman. It would be a real hit on YouTube.
Anyway, I remember you (asrealasitgets) talking about playing Monster Hunter 3, and I believe Jason (PB&Jason) did a live stream of it, didn't he? Or he was planning on it.
I'm a bit surprised to see Call of Juarez and Disney Infinity there as well, considering some of the negative feedback I've read on both. Actually, maybe that was a different Call of Juarez, but I know goaztecs was a bit disappointed with Disney Infinity's execution. I'd be interested to hear why you liked those, to get some fresh perspective. I thought Disney Infinity was a cool concept, and I still remember one of the Juarez games being the cover for the first EGM mag I had received in the mail since the notorious and supposedly final Wolverine cover of theirs.
I've honestly never heard of Path of Exile, but I definitely heard a lot of talk about Etrian Odyssey at the beginning of the year, on here and from Jeremy Parish.
I might make a donation, thanks for spreading the word around.
Happy New Year to you and yours, this wonderful woman named Hope, and by contractual obligation, Sara McLachlan's "Angel!"
"Peppy" is an accurate descriptor by definition, since it is a very lively song, but I tend to understand that term as connotating something light and fluffy, like a catchy Top 40 hit. I'd honestly say the song sounds "inspiring." It has a lot going on and sounds like it signifies the coming of great things. There's a bit more meat to it than what I think of when I think of "peppy."
Of course, that just means you really did pick a great one to ring in the new year.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Hope the diminished beer drinking and getting back in shape go well. I intend to start on the getting back in shape thing today. We'll see how that goes.
I was going to download Mass Effect 2 on Steam until I found out it was not controller-supported. I played the demo to see if I could deal with that, but nope. Not a fan of the keyboard/mouse set-up, even in shooters. Plus, to be honest, while people have praised its story endlessly, I just wasn't that into what I felt were typical sci-fi tropes in the demo. Not knocking it or people who like it, or at least not trying to (it definitely had its merits like graphical fidelity, cool customization/conversation options, and decently fun shooting segments that appealed to me), just saying that what I experienced was not necessarily my cup of tea bags, so I saved the money for things higher on my Wishlist.
Borderlands 2 is another one that everyone loves, with an art/graphic style I admire and can see myself liking a lot of elements from, that I don't quite think would be my thing overall. One day, we may find out if I feel I missed out tremendously, but today is not that day. My wallett already hurts. Well, ok, my gift card, but still.
Destiny sounds like a good time. I know there was a lot of buzz around it during E3. I kinda forgot what it was about, though. I know it looked really good, I think. I know you explained it, but I am a bit buzzed myself, having come from a party and drunken some Irish liquor once safely back home. So I'd look it up, but my head can't handle 3D objects moving as well as usual at the moment. Ahe,.
I told Cary this too, but I watched the first season of Adventure Time on Netflix, and find it hit or miss for my tastes. It's funny in an oddball way sometimes, but then sometimes its randomness doesn't appeal to me as much. The biggest laugh from the entire season for me was that witch getting mad and turning a donut into a bagel for being an "imposter." Or was it the other way around? Anyway, "dungeon crawler" isn't really my type of game either, so I dunno.
Well, Happy New Year again! Sorry if I came across negative, I just tend to like action/platformers more than anything, cause when it comes to movies and books, I'm like a scholar or critic, but with games I have the taste of an Adderol-ridden 17-year-old for some strange reason.
Got back from an NYE party about 2AM, and drank some Irish Cream Liquor to cap it off once safe at home, so I had a good time.
Happy New Year, Lee!
Are you in the restaurant industry? I remember having to do this when I worked at Outback. My dad is driving tonight as well. Blows. Hope it's at least easier than normal for you both!
Happy New Year!
