The version on PSN was real cheap.  I think it was only $2.99.

I hadn't thought about it.  Maybe blog #20 should be a collection blog.  I hadn't done one of those in a while.  

I want to get that Sailor Moon on bluray.  The more I think about it the more I want it. 

Like you, I have it on my 3DS.  I look at it and don't have the desire to start it right now.  Many people say it's a good game.  

If it was remade, I'd play it.  As is..., on the list of games I'll get to one day. 

Jury duty is serious business.  I believe in innocence unitl proven guilty too.  

As for gamergate...., I don't understand why it's so blown up.  The chick slept with her boss and/or game journalists, I don't care.  Maybe she is a whore.  Or maybe she just likes to have a good time.  Her life and not my business.  I didn't even know who she was until all this stuff happened.  I mean really..., it's not like she's Miyamoto.  Her "game" isn't going to change the world. 

I almost bought Kirby's Dream Collection a week ago.  I'll probably pick it up soon.

I still need to play this one.  

Not long ago, I saw a video by a beginning female developer.  She didn't have any issue with Sarkeesian's videos, but she also admitted she didn't have any issues within the gaming industry.  From her experience, though the industry isn't perfect, it was really open to her and other women that she personally knew.  Though she thought Sarkeesian's videos were harmless, I like that she stated her views and I respect that.  I think women within gaming would be better at discussing the pros and cons of it and their ideas of what's needed to move forward than the blanket "gaming is misogynistic" approach.  There's been so much mud slinging from both sides of this issue that no one is listening by now.  It probably would be best just to let the issue die a bit and come back to it when everyone has calm down.  Well, that's what I think. 

Saw this article, GamerGate: A Closer Look At The Controversy Sweeping Video Games.  Maybe you've read it already.  The author as an interesting take on what the issue really is.  Maybe he's right.  I kind of agree.  His words give me hope for the future. 

I have to disagree with you about Sarkeesian.  Her "work" is poor at best.  It basically boils down to her percerption of games, which is fine, but she doesn't do the research to prove her point and doesn't take into account that many of the games, or the origins of the series, dates back 20+ years ago.  Also, she ignores the fact that some games are developed in different countries that have different beliefs and values.  I don't believe in forcing one country's values over another, just because you don't like it.  Her research is like, "I went to a couple parties over the summer and saw black people eating watermelon and drinking grape soda, so my conclusion is most black people love watermelon and grape soda."  It's harsh using racism to compare her research, but that's what it is.  Take a look at those first videos and it's obvious.  Instead of proving her point, she just shows you more videos of scenes out of context and uses big words she barely understands herself.  A few times she contradicts herself and insults women.  It translates to, "I'll show you more videos of black people eating watermelon and drinking grape soda.  See it's true.  And, let me use big words to confuse you and prove I went to a college".  In her latest videos she toned it down.  It's still there, but it's not slapping you in the face.  She's more careful with her words and she's not smugly smiling and laughing about it in the video.  She made changes because people had legitimate complaints.  Did many gamers go off the handle?  Sadly, yeah.  But their voices were heard.  What was very frustrating was that anyone that was against Sarkeesain (even legitimate disagreements) was labeled a misogynist, which was very frustrating and just fueled the problem.  Thank goodness more women got into the agruement against Sarkeesian.  A blatant, "you're a misogynist" statment wouldn't nullify a sensible debate.  I've seen many comments and video by women that say Sarkeesian doesn't represent them and they state why.  They don't say gaming is all roses (just play online for 10min), but they recognize gaming as a whole moving forward into equality (mind, without the "feminist" movement).  Sarkeesian wants you to believe it's at a standstill or moving backwards.
