Not that it is an eye-opening revelation or anything, but people just like having answers. Religion in general is pretty vague on most shit, with the answers being "..god did it" for the most part. For a lot of people, by attacking their religion, you are attacking the safety of their entire...

Tarrantino/Smith definitely fall into this. Admittedly, it is one of the reasons why I enjoy their movies, but it has bled into quite a lot of other films as well without having that niche feeling that Tarrantino and Smith occupy.

Berserk has one of the least well received endings in anime history, I would imagine. They cut out the primary character that makes that ending sequence make sense (Skull Knight) and instead leave it ambiguously as "And then Guts gets a crossbow arm!" to the viewers. Especially compared to the...

Depending on frame, 6'2" would be pretty average to "lean" looking at 190lbs. It really depends on your muscle mass and overall frame type. Like if someone with Z-WizardHawk's frame was 190 at his height, he'd probably look pudgy as shit due to his lack of muscle mass. Whereas someone with a...

Given the advancements in technology in my lifetime alone, I think suicide until I'm literally borderline senile would be a bad move. There's a very likely chance I could be put into some matrix-like perma-stasis environment where I am living out my greatest fantasies forever. Wouldn't want to...

Yeah, Blitzball after you get the airship is an entirely different experience from playing it as you level. If you try it prior the Al Behd team will just race by you and shoot free goals, and the ronso team will literally just run up to your goal and shoot past Keepa every damn time, breaking...

The controls in the chocobo race are intentionally bad, and the original PS2 version was much easier than the revamped one due to there being bugs with the birds flying through the player in the original release. Honestly never had a problem with the butterflies, took me maybe 20 minutes to get...

Sure sign of a broken fight, imo. Simply bad design.

Yup! One of the three bullshit fights in the game. Bullshit as in "Either know what to be immune to before the fight(yunalesca)" or "have this specific ability or you can't win(shield dragon)" bullshits. That specific fight is knowing to save Yuna's limit to pop out bahamut for massive damage...

Yeah, he mentions early on that his favorite spell is 9th level, and that the highest the "npcs" were using was quite a bit lower. Currently still loving Overlord, Gansta (holy shit best of season), Rokka, and Shokugeki. Best stuff ever.

It is the whole "food is art!" bullshit concept. You can actually have food as an art, and still serve portions that will actually feed a human being, not a Troll Doll from 1996. People -want- to be satisfied. The people who jerk themselves off to 1/8th portions like those expressed earlier...

As a cook person, that shit annoys the living fuck out of me.

Didn't even mention Phoenix =/ Even watching this movie at home, it is quite awesome.

I'm always amazed when people remember their dreams vividly and they sound... normal. Like things that could happen. Mine are always a weird combination of random shit and completely non-nonsensical conversations. Example: I'll dream that I'm on an airplane, and the stewardess will come up...

Yeah, I saw the preview video for the "Everyone's gone to the rapture" game and thought "Hey look, more artsy bullshit trying to be a video game!" Glad to see that my instant judging of a book by its cover was totally accurate.

Eddie Izzard for Seph, with Gilbert Godfrey as Barret. Cid should definitely be played by DMX when he's in between prison sentences as well. Fran Drescher as Aeris, Yufi played by Brian Posehn, and Tifa done by Lisa Lampanelli with appropriate language. Cait Sith portrayed by two bonobos...

Eh, that's just normal caloric restriction if you are eating every day, just at regulated hours. Your body doesn't go "OH SHIT BURN EVERYTHING!" If you don't eat for 12 hours, or 16. It's after you burn through any sugars in your system over the first 24-36 hours of non-intake that you are...

Japan is weird as shit (sorry Chysamere) on a lot of things. Our pronunciation of their words is probably pretty low on the weird-shit list. ANYWAY. FF3 when played on a nes emulator with an english patch is a pretty different experience from the DS version. With an upcoming 7 re-release...

Nevermind! All 5 words are pronounced myoon. No idea why I transliterated it as moon when I was a kid, then. Though in my defense, all english words with -mune in them, have double m's before the u. Could very well be phonetically saying it out loud and not adding the m into the o's, hence...

I'm not a cat? Why would you pronounce the u if you are already replacing it with o's?

Mass uh moon. I know it's mass ah moon eh(in canadian) but I still call it mass uh moon. Also the redone CT cutscenes are great.

The Bouncer Quite possibly the shortest, most disappointing Square game I can think of. You could do like a three hit combo on each character that would carry you through the entire game, and it took a total of 4 hours of -bad- playing to beat everything. Ehrgeiz at least had nostalgia...

Honestly, a -lot- of hate for FF9 stems from the character design. The main character is a monkey-tailed 80's glam rock star, there's a big knight with gratuitous eyeliner, and your dragoon is a rat. Also, Kuja looked pretty fruity for most of the game. All that said, I loved that it has...

1-49 the beast dailies for crafting are great. Good xp, oaknots eventually for random mats and crap if you need em, and they are super easy once you get a crafter to the upper 40s to abuse them to do the quests then change and hand in with lower ones. But the moment you hit 50, the xp drops...

In the article, the guy says that people at 18 or less BMI or people taking insulin (read: sugar regulation issues) shouldn't do the lowered diet. It goes without saying that the harsher in a short time frame actual fast is definitely a no-no. Basically, these crash diet deals work if you have...

Yeah, FFX remaster has the Dark Aeons and the "expert" sphere grid. The game was never hard, it just has a couple of semi-bullshit gimmick fights(Yunalesca, Seymour's final form at Gagazet, the shield dragon if you never played FFIV come to mind), and then all the post game stuff is very...

The worst part about 8's draw mechanic (out of many terrible aspects to it) was that leveling up didn't give you a substantial increase to stats, but junctioning stacks of 99 spells to stats did. But if you started using those spells, your stats dropped along with the usage, so you end up...

I feel like this "everyone hates the prequels" stuff comes up randomly at least once a year. Given the fact that if everyone hated them, they wouldn't have continued to be gigantic successes at the box office after everyone hated the first one. <insert box office numbers doesn't mean anything...

Within reason, things were scaled. Bosses/monsters still had ceilings and floors on damage/hp/defenses. Being low level meant that you were fighting the weakest version of each boss most likely, but even the weak versions could hit harder than your max health at a minimum at certain level...

It's also extremely narrow on credible researchers. There's a lot of studies with evidence out there (most the links mkopec listed, actually) that reducing your intake of food when you are obese helps, and that skipping the occasional (1per week usually at most) day of eating has some benefits...

His research was the first link that mkopec posted, yeah. Higher than average calorie reduction for 5 days, then back to eating whatever you want. Seems like the second half of that is counterproductive as a weight loss statement, but as it is basically just a crash diet for a week (with very...

I'm not sure I would say the demo accurately portrays the flow of combat, especially since the vast majority of ingame options weren't enabled. Animations were good and I'm not raging about the action combat, but the demo didn't have nearly enough of the final game in it to be worth a crap...

I always look here if it has an actual monetary expenditure behind it. If it's like... 5 bucks, meh, steam user score and being a genre I like is usually enough.

Toxin is to hippy bullshit like problematic is to social justice warriors. Both deserve the same derision. Read the articles mkopec linked. The information either doesn't back up the stance that multi-day fasting has positive effects that outweigh the negatives or is inconclusive. The most...

Toxins are effectively hippy bullshit in that context. The concept is that your body is constantly in a state of barely handling all the "toxins" we intake each day(toxin being anything that wasn't grown by the local farmer/hippy commune). By fasting, you are not bringing more "toxins" in...

SD3 translation was... interesting at times, but it was largely done by Neill and Dark Force, which were the two biggest names in the fan translation game at one point. That game and Bahamut Lagoon not being officially translated/released in the US is a travesty, because they were both amazing...

It is a final fantasy game. The vast majority of people who play FF games know that leveling is what you do, and there's an ability on the first class you have access to that basically says "This helps you level up faster." I'm not saying that if you had -no- idea about rpgs in general and...

I get the feeling that some of these actors are probably signing on for less than usual prices just to be a part of the phenomenon. If "in Game of Thrones(series)" is attached to a name, it might improve sales of/interest in the actor these days, such as interest in title backlog. I'm certain...

Uh, anyone with more than two braincells to rub together saw "Gained JP Up" on the squire class and went "Hey that's probably cool" and then accelerated the skill acquirement of every single character. Which opens classes, which opens abilities, which opens builds. And since the Accumulate...

Rousey is pretty physically dominant. She cuts a less than tiny amount of weight in her division, and if you compare her frame to her opponents she is built like a brick shithouse. Cyborg coming to her plays entirely into Ronda's hands, as it means a weaker, heavier post-cut Cyborg trying to...
