My thoughts:
1. Good game, didn' get enough credit
2. Some gut wrenching dungeons
3. Hack job translation
4. I wonder how creators and developers feel when they see their hardwork on sale (this applies better to bargain bin games, mind you)

http://www.evangelcathedral.net/WATCH THE INTRO, and whaever thereafter you wanna stick around for. Honestly, I don't really have much to say.... more than anything I just wanted to share it. Personally, I believe that his new wave of attracting youth to church is quite creepy, and is somewhat counterproductive (as in, I DON'T wanna join this congregation).

I admire strict parents. Not to the extent of hitting the kid like they're a tennis match, but I do believe a smack to the ass does assure a "striking" reminder of right and wrong.
Funny thing, this "wrong" you are talking about, you are likely going to go do, yourself, later that night. This is NOT a question of right and wrong, it's a question of socially acceptable behavior at a certain age, and really, only the parents and children can decide that. I know we might be squeemish about young teens engaging in sexual activity, but this is a situation that should be looked at logically, without our personal hangups. The reality is, as long as it's just BJs and HJs, there is no risk of pregnancy or disease (well, little to none for disease). Our only reasons for not allowing it are 1) our personal hangups about our "children" being sexually engaged, and 2) fear of things going further then just BJs and HJs. #1 we just need to deal with, because personal hangups are best ignored in favor of more logical reasoning. #2 can be avoided with good communication, education, and mutual trust. If there isn't the mutal trust, respect, and communication, then the war is lost no matter what. The kids are just going to do whatever they're going to do... which would probably be a lot worse than if they had a good communicative relationship with the parents. Hidoshi is right on, btw. Interesting fact is that typically, the stricter and more conservative the parenting, the younger the children end up being sexually active, and the more unwanted pregancies occur (just look at Sarah Palin's daughter for an example). But this isn't so much an issue of liberal/conservative, as it is an issue of mutual trust and respect between parent and child. To each their own. My folks were strict, and I certainly held out longer than 11 years old before I did anything like that. =/ Depends in what department too. I was taught to save it for someone special. I don't really believe in waiting till marriage to be sexually active, but I did wait till my first steady boyfriend. I've had too many girlfriends fucked up and over by guys. One is in love with some guy she screwed with a few times (who now has a girlfriend), one got preggo, and another has a fuckbuddy whom I think wants more than that. Sexual activity has quite a bit of risk. In whatever regard. Physically, mentally, whatever. There are laws to prevent kids from driving at a certain age, drinking, voting, etc. Mainly because it is believed a certain level of maturity is needed for some acts. Yeah, if I had a kid, I'd tell them to keep it in their pants, because they may not know 100% of what they're getting into (come on, 11 is seriously too young for kids to have a handle on sexual activity... this is the same age group that laughs at the word "penis" when learning about it in Phys Ed or whatever). And yeah, maybe I'll go have sex later on after telling them 'no'. But at least I am cautious of the risks I take and willing to accept them. Rather than going with the crowd and going on my knees because my tween boyfriend asked for a blowjob. Again, to each their own, but something seems odd for kids to be doing/knowing oral sex in the first place. I see what you're getting at though. Yeah, kids should be taught responsibility, yadayada, etc. But really, walking in to see any sexual activity between tweens just feels wrong if not forced at that age. Otherwise, hey, kudos to them, they've developed into maturity quite early. |

I loved it.
I admire how the man, no matter what horrid situation, was able to stay in character (like when he was getting beaten to fuck with a belt buckle).
Not as funny as Borat, but certainly more jaw dropping. Its wild, its crazy, and it exploits. My only main criticism lies with the fact, like Borat, aims to ridicule Southern States more than anything.
....How the fuck he was able to get Ron Paul to agree to an interview is beyond me. The focus group made me watery eyed in laughter, and Bruno's Middle East trip made me wonder how he came out alive.

I admire strict parents. Not to the extent of hitting the kid like they're a tennis match, but I do believe a smack to the ass does assure a "striking" reminder of right and wrong. From what I've seen; kids are fairly detached these days. About half the kids that come into my restaurant are playing on Nintendo DS's, while the parent just eats in silence. Is sort of a loose message, but I honestly thing parents need to grab hold of their kids more. Kids are extremely influential, and have some shitty celebrity role models. I didn't know what a blow job was till slightly after that age, but like you, I was certainly FAR from giving one anytime soon. I went on a "date" when I was 13; but at that age you'd do nothing more than maybe hold hands at a theatre. Even still, at that age, I was more focused on hobbies and friends than seriously finding a boyfriend to blow... thats quite far fetched. Fuck it, lets teach kids "cooties" exist again. And no, she no a little slut. A BJ is rather minor, thank god shes not pregnant. Eeee. Granted its safer sex I suppose. Picture yourself accidently walking in on an 11-12 year old giving a blow job...I'd feel like a pedophile, hands down. Thats...young. |

If they did remake FFVI, they should definitely rebalance the game to make it harder or atleast fair for the opposing side. You have to admit there were some pretty cheap equipment and esper combinations. Being able to cast ultima, I don't even know how many times, was it 8? Since you could have your whole party mimic it. Then there was the two Genji glove combination with Atma weapon so you could attack with 9999 4 times.
There was a glitch with the Economizer so you'd get 99 of them. I don't even remember how it happened, but I remember looking in my inventory and I had an infinite amount of them for no reason.
Oh, and I can't forget the invisible/x-zone combo that you could use on some bosses.
Funny how its predecessor, FFV, pulled off the balance thing better. I still have trouble pulling through in that game. |
