Welcome to Gaia! ::

A topic would be fun! My only issue would be spoilers (which is a very strange thing to say, considering I've read the books... o_0) since I watch the episode when I have an hour or so on my hands...

Tangent: Someone needs to make this into a shirt for Pyre.

Holy balls, Smithsonian. How are you so bad at choosing your video games for your exhibit? Or categorizing them. Or whatever.

Can you not use wikipedia beforehand or something?

I really shouldn't be so frustrated over that

And it still deserves the nomination over Pac-Man on the Atari. That thing used to be the definition of "bad port" back in the day. People obviously just chose it because it's called "Pac-Man".

Panzer Dragoon won in both Target and Adventure on the Saturn. Doom II wins Action on the PC, but Goldeneye 64 wins Target despite being the same genre. Among other oddities.

At least their interactive exhibits were pretty well chosen. I probably would have gone with something like Portal over World of Warcraft, since 5 minutes of that gives you a better thought of video games today. But at least I understand why they chose that. And you could probably say a piece on all of the winners chosen, but damn, some of those are just really awkward.

Ohmygod, ohmygod, ohmyGOD. New Blood anime developed by CLAMP! I probably shouldn't get my hopes up, seeing as I never actually cared for the original Blood: The Last Vampire, and I have no idea what direction this spin-off will take as yet, but... Squee! whee I suppose the fact that Blood Plus always made me think of a shonen version of Vampire Princess Miyu, and CLAMP actually writes shoujo is promising, though. But why would Saya need glasses?



Eh... I'm actually pretty mellow IRL. I don't have enough energy to be too excitable.



Eh, well, I can kinda understand that. They probably had a lot of younger voters who don't remember things like "this game really sucked on this particular system." I mean, I think I'm old enough that I should know that, but I don't.

But nominating one of those let's-make-a-buck-on-celebrity games? Ha! Remember Shaq-Fu? rofl



I can kinda understand the strangeness of the categories, given the rise and fall of genres over the years and them wanting to show "the best" as gaming progressed, but I think it would be a little more useful to show that it's not just the graphics quality and playability that have changed.

And where are the hand-helds? And FFS, No Tetris?

Even when everything's going well, I'm super nervous it's all going to come crashing down.

Fixed that for you.

Xani - Thanks for the tab thing. That and the home button moving is what bugged me the most. Both are now fixed.

And hot damn! They're actually translating the Lunar light novels for Kindle. NOW DO THE MANGA! I want to read Tale of the Vane Airship like nobody's business.
