If anything, Black Mage, you're helping by contributing worthwhile info to this topic. I find those facts about Squaresoft to be very interesting, and I certainly didn't know them before now.

But, alas, this topic of mine has been a bit of a . . . downer? Well, even if it doesn't get me down, down is the direction it seems to like to go. Downward decline to destruction, perhaps.

That's certainly a disturbing painting. Was the artist British?

I don't know his nationality, but the artist's name is Rowan Cassidy.

This topic is already in the dumps, so I figure I may as well post this link for all you ytmnd lovers out there who haven't seen this one yet:

Actually, it seems to me that ESRB ratings can to a certain extent determine whether a game is "good" or "bad". As far as I've seen, M-rated games are ALWAYS bad - they always have something gratuitously immoral in them. T-rated games can also frequently be bad, though in a lesser degree; SSBM and some others are exceptions. But I certainly don't look down on E-rated games; that would be insane.

Actually, one important reason for my dislike of the Xbox and PS2 is that some of the most popular and publicized games on those systems have bad or obnoxious stuff in them. Thus I have come to view those systems as more connected with the "dark side" of gaming than the GCN is. This is probably a big generalization (the GCN has "M" games too), but so many Xbox/PS2 fans say those systems are better because of "mature content" that I have trouble seeing the matter any other way.

I feel the same way. I've never played an M rated game much less owned one. It doens't mean it's better, often times it contains things I find offensive. I ahven't played any T rated game that had offensive material such as SSBM, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia and Phantasy Star Online. The violvence is not that intense, the language is not that bad and any sexual situations are mild.

This is how I see it: i play what I want and play what I don't want. I dont' want to play M rated games and everay game I want to play is on the Gamecube (or GBA or DS). That's what I play and that's why I don't play PS2 or Xbox.

That's unexclusive.

What? Tons of games on that list were unexclusive! Sonic Adventure 2: Battle? Soul Caliber II?

I was going under the logic of NP, where they listed SCII because it had one single difference.

ToS is exclusive in North America. The PS2 version wasn't realeased here.

Here's http://smrpgrobo.ytmnd.com'>another reason. Well, no it's not, but I like it anyway.

If your day is bad, a nice comment at night can change everything.
