Vagrant Story was ahead of its time and constrained by the PS1 hardware. If Square Enix had held on for a few years and developed it for the PS2 it would have started its own franchise.

Imagine telling people your first name is Gunner or Major and expecting them to take you seriously.

Crusade. The story was just starting to get interesting but JMS had used all of his pull just getting the fifth season of B5 on the air. I’m cautiously optimistic about the animated series that was hinted at by The Road Home but I’m also not holding my breath.

The original Driver on PS1 made me better at handling cars in general, both in video games and real life. It’s a shame GTA and Saints Row went with exaggerated vehicle physics and the Driver series never got the non-vehicular parts right.

It’s not worth the price, financially or morally.

There was, I signed up for it and I never received anything. And then the disk drive on my PS3 went to pot and disabled the whole device. Sony can’t design hardware for shit.

I made it to the fourth book (or was it the fifth?) many years ago before I gave up. There are better book series that require less effort to understand, and that don’t antagonize the reader.

It’s facepaint, and it comes off with soap and water.

Absolutely, and I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be the fossil holding up the entire self-checkout lane because the retinal scan can’t see past my cataracts, and not one of these kids can stop me!

I only found out a few years ago that Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies was commonly regarded as one of the worst songs of the 90s, but it reminds me of middle school and summers at the pool. Same with Sex And Candy by Marcy Playground.

I’m about halfway through the first book. First time through the series. Better late than never, I suppose.

I don’t care if it has the same framerate as traditional animation, if your CGI movie is less than 30 fps it looks cheap and gives me a headache.
