Bourbon street sucks

Hey Neb, I'm finally going through Xenosaga so I can give you an actual opinion on it. So far some dudes doomed humanity and I've been told I hate Shion. Should be fun.

It's about time you stopped playing those shitty Bioware and Megami Tensei games and played a real man's game Nephthys. 😄

If you haven't started playing it yet though I'd recommend playing through Xenogears first, as while there's no official link between the two, it's pretty clear that the Xenosaga series is largely what the creators had in mind for Episode I of the Xenogears saga (the game Xenogears is Episode V of that saga), and that there would be an official link if not for the fact that Square Enix own the rights to the Xenogears brand. So while technically they don't belong to the same series or universe they can be thought of as doing so, and as Xenogears was released first it was clearly intended to be the first part of the story.

This game is so ****ing boring. It's like I'm watching two glaciers mate. And Shion is creeeeeeepy!

Well I'm not going to pretend that I'm not extremely dissapointed and slightly devestated by those comments but where abouts in the story are you out of curiosity? Things move pretty slowly to begin with as the game introduces you to the characters and starts to slowly establish elements of the setting but even then the story is nothing if not incredibly intruiging.

Well when I wrote that the the Gnosis were just about to attack, so I'd just gone through about 4 hours of tutorials and cutscenes and Shion being annoying and ditsy. Now, I'm at the bit where Ziggy's rescuing MOMO. Ziggy's cool, I like him and KOS-MOS is utterly badass, but I'm still in cutscene hell.

Haha, Shion, you totally want to jump that tight robo-body and you know it.

I detest Rose Tyler.

You like totally brought down the cool factor of this page by bringing Doctor Who into this.

I'm sorry? You can take your lame ass-japanese bullsh*t and go back to socking mods. I'll be over here appreciating the pinnacle of (mainstream) pop Culture of the past 50 years.

I liked Rose. 🙁

'The pinnacle of pop culture?' Doctor Who sucks. 😬

Its like Power Rangers. Power Rangers sucks too, but its cool for the sheer cheesy awesomeness.

Rose is a whiny tease (poor Mickey) a butterface and not very much fun in general.

And how can you say that Dr. Who sucks? It is so aware of its flaws that it circles back around to awesome! I bet you can't name me even a single show that makes better use of the POV monster (excluding Torchwood, which counts as the same thing). It's pure silliness.

Thats what I said. The acting is terrible and the plot is often weak and pretty much every episode ends with Doctor technobabbling his way out of the situation, but its still fun to watch. That does not stop it from being shit though.

BTW, If you're interested in Doctor Who:

Spoiler:
That would be either Angel or Boston Legal, jackass.

Is Angel the one with the 3 chicks that blow stuff up with Jazz Hands?

Boston Legal... *sigh*

Fvck you, that was Charmed.

Wow.. I'm so glad that each subsequent generation is having less taste in shows.. I almost want to kill each of you but then realize how young and socially inexperienced you are.

Hey, Dr. Who has been on for something like 47 years.
