please don't get started on game stories... they're not good, stop kidding yourself. planescape might be the best it gets, and guess what? it IS garden variety d&d... doesn't make it a bad game, suck it up, though, there ain't any faulkners in gaming.

i play significantly less than when i was younger, of course. i still dig the hell out of those shin megami tensei games... digital devil saga and persona and shit. i have a ps3 but it's mostly a blu-ray player. i nabbed final fantasy xiii and found it to be boring and incomprehensible 90% of the time. traded that shit in for the new smt on the ds and didn't look back. i'm probably comfortably settled into the fact that the only games i'm going to bother purchasing are smt anymore, they're the only ones that still got the magic. i am interested in alpha protocol, though, the obsidian spy version of mass effect, which was kind of cool but also kind of stupid.
