@Yoska:

I really hope Fallout: New Vegas manages to combine the best thing about Fallout 2 & 3. Fallout 3 was mostly a step forward but there were still some things which it still failed to replicate. But since New Vegas is developed by Obsidian which consists some of the old Fallout developers I think New Vegas has potential to be the best Fallout yet.

Obsidion has yet to really prove itself as being anywhere near as good as Black Isle. They've given us one decent game brought down severely by LucasArts rushing them (KOTOR II), two bad games (vanilla NWN2 and SoZ), and one genuinely good game (MotB). A far cry from their golden years, and I fear that Bethesda intervention could just be as bad as LucasArts breathing down their necks.

@Polygon:

Becoming a man is a really abstract thing. It's not like wham you're 18 and now you're a man, unless you're talking about a purely legal perspective.

In terms of cultural perspective, as in Oda's, 20 would be the age when one "legally" becomes a man.

@DaGoomer:

Me too… I hate Fallout 3. I only like JRPgs.

Why would you restrict yourself from ever liking a genre of gaming?

@Satsuki:

Shinji's power is really cool, but it's lost on such a broken characters like Aizen.

Really, I'd say anybody could overcome his ability when he tells them exactly what it does down to the very last detail like a dumbass.

That said, Kubo did foreshadow Shinji's ability beforehand. The first time we ever saw him he was standing upside down in the sky. Nice to see Kubo thinking SOME things in advance.

This is actually more than likely a case of him once again reading through earlier volumes in an attempt to find a random plot point to fill in a hole, like with Fura.

@Jarhead:

So sasuku pulled a hawk out of his ass.

At least Kishi's admitting to pulling stuff out of his ass now, with Madara saying he had no idea Sasuke had learned to summon hawks.

@Panekai:

losing to mid-boss gets me a new character in NG+? or is that not what you meant?

Losing to Mid-Boss causes the earliest ending one can get in the game, which leads to your file turning into a New Game+ one, because technically you had already "beaten" the game in some fashion.

@Panekai:

Disgaea DS (emulator): It seems I'm at "Midboss" XD. Still lagging and the game is easy so far, still having fun though.

You think it's easy now? Purposefully lose to Mid-Boss and get Pleinair on New Game+, saying goodbye to any hint of challenge.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (if they decide to throw Phoenix in there), No More Heroes, and Mega Man 10 for Wii. Investigations, Strange Journey, Infinite Space, and Shantae for DS.

Overall not a bad upcoming year, at least on the handheld side of things.

@GiantGuy:

I hope the short chapters finishes when the war finishes, because now Oda hasn't any Strong World excuse longer to not do his best.

This chapter was made around the tail-end of the promotion for Strong World, when there was still a lot going on. We'll most likely be seeing page count jump back up soon enough.

@Shandian:

Erm so Shunshui can just one-shot all hollows/arrancars with this. If Hollows/Arrancars attack with black first Shunshui dies.

well okay now, but lets hope Shunshui never fights ever again this series.

Why would the Hollows/Arrancar know how Shunsui's ability works if they get the first strike?
