Black Pretty much any level, but the first one should have been longer. Show me a game where you can fire rounds into buildings and the buildings crumble, and I'll show you a guy spending all of his time blowing things up instead of accomplishing missions. FFXII Giza Plains - The Rains/Dry I loved ...

One of the most appealing bits of the game is the music. For those of you who are buffs of the Final fantasy Series, you'll know that FFXII is set in the same world as FF Tactics; The world of Ivalice. Similarly the music in FF12 is remniscent of the style of music in FFT. I haven't beat the game ye...

Interesting observation, mm. I especially agree that "natural" humans, even nowadays, harbor a fear of the unknown. To emphasize the contrast between Togusa and his fellow teammates, take a look at Motoko. Even as a young child, she took on the challenge of being one of the first to use a ...

www.sundevildvd.com. In retrospect, I have to admit it seems fishy. Shamefully, I'll have to admit as to buying a season of Berserk from this site, and if it truly is bootleging, I'll have fallen for it eyes wide open. Can you ever forgive the oh-so-niave Phalanx?

You make a good point Tonks and only support it with great personal anecdotes. A thought has occured to me, and it happened when you pointed out Motoko's value of Togusa's street sense. If I remember correctly, doesn't adding prosthetics to a non-prosthetic body in Shirow's GitS World harbor a certa...

How would the religious commuities deal with it? I dare say they would be outraged, much like how they usually react to new, unconventional and progressive ideas. Would the Pope be eternal? Wow...that would indeed be a frightnening reality, we must immediatly halt our progress and inovation due to ...

SundevilDVD.com? GitS Seasons $30-35 each?

I've come ocross this site and they sell anime at ridiculously low prices, I've seen GitS season 1 and 2 both for $30. How are they selling it so cheaply? That seems somehow...unethical. (shamefully) I did buy Berserk from the site a while ago, and once again, the whole season was $25-30, so I know ...

Elder Scrolls letdown

I don't own an X-box 360 or a PC beefy enough to support Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, but I was able to play it extensivly thanks to the generousity of my best frind. But, comparing it to Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, I have to say that it is very much a dissapointment. I expected a lush world (which...

I think while indeed, he should retain his internal organs, and majority of his body, there should be at least something to enhance aim ( which we all know everyone chews him out about). m.m. Hmm...I thought he had great aim, at one point Motoko scolds him for shooting poorly when his aim is usuall...

Hmm, not exactly what I envisioned, but the use of emoticons are accurate. Although I'm envisioning an instant "download" of, say, a profile of yourself that's open for the public. Say You were at a grocery store and a man/woman smiles at you. You're intrigued, so you instantly look up the...

My friend and I were talking about how generally speaking there aren't many black or ethnic characters in Final Fantasy games. It's interesting how they managed to fit two into Final Fantasy XII. I mean Reddas is clearly black, and I'm not sure what ethnicity Al-Cid is supposed to be but clearly he...

Proto a field officer

They don't say much, but Proto is wearing a black suit in SSS rather than his usual red uniform. Can one assume that he is a field officer by this point? Can a Bioroid even BE a field officer?

Togusa, you fool!

I realize that Togusa is completely flesh, and that sets him apart in Section 9. Knowing that, why in hell does he perform stunts that only a cyborg could achieve and then insist on keeping is body? On multiple occasions it's because of these rash, heroic actions that nearly kills him. How does bein...
