minutes of direct sunlight does it take to discolor a video game cover?

Thanks Akbar! If you have time, would you mind factoring in the forecasted collection growth?

Heh, anyway, here's the collection breakdown 179 Genesis 178 PSX 164 PS2 122 DC 72 SMS 63 Xbox 60 SegaCD 48 GBA 45 GC 39 N64 36 Saturn 21 Game Gear 11 32X 7 GBC 4 PC 3 GB 1 TG16 1053 TOTAL

I'm seriously thinking that 3 hours a day for the next 50 years will not be enough to get through my collection. Can any math wiz out there check my collection to see if it should be suggested to add extra hours to my daily quota or/and if I should start getting rid of my mediocre-or-less...

One of my friends has a hard time appriciating many games pre-PS2/GC/Xbox despite that he's played video games since the 70's. I don't think I've ever felt that especially if I have had past experience with this PSX game or that SNES game. It's very much like those retro reviews in GMR when...

(Shameless gloat) I end up playing games I don't have to review. When I am 'working' 2/3rds of my work involves getting through a game I need to review and 1/3 is spent calling and emailing game companies for new games (for both myself and the various media outlets I work for).

I know this topic is WAY old but I just remembered when I was I kid I thought euthanasia was instead 'youth in Asia'.

Every DVD I've gotten in the past 18 months has been through them. Good stuff.

Twice I became a guinea pig for drugs at my nearby university hospital. I had done enough research to know that the drugs wouldn't have a negative effect (and they were already in use in other first world countries). Each study involved two weekend hospital stays. Also, I brought my game...

Unfortunately we only had enough air time to just talk about Phantom Brave, though this gave us another excuse to have them fly up here again when Iris is close to release. I'll personally do my best to get them to bring a preview build of Iris so the episode airs before release. Oh, no plans...

Atlus was heavily involved because of their resources and experience with Nippon Ichi titles in the past. They have a very good relationship. NIS definitely have a commitment to satisfy this part of the market, with Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana coming out 2005 Spring. It should be noted that...

Incidentally Atlus actually did both the US production and distribution for Phantom Brave.

We also ended up getting this sweet poster which I'll post here when I have time. One interesting bit of trivia I learned, when talking to them about the humble state of Nippon Ichi was that La Pucelle was pretty much made by just three people. According to the VP of NIS, Nippon Ichi in...
