I didn't even post on the old Gamestop enough to care about the layout, but after seeing the fiasco that it's turned into, I do miss it. Really, I remember on the old forums, posts would fall off the front page in around an hour so. Now an entire day can pass before that happens. If that's not an indicator of a dead forum, I don't know what is.

And yes, I am glad that it's dying. Maybe websites will learn that changing something that was functioning just fine for years for no reason except to change it is a stupid idea and may result in your userbase deserting you.

3. Opeth

4. Hammock

5. Iron Maiden

6. Nobuo Uematsu

7. Joy Division

8. Nevermore

9. Windir

10. Bad Religion

The last three change over time but the top seven have pretty much remained unchanged for years now.

Very much so. I love salmon and I particularly love sushi (as in a slab of raw fish, not that imitation crab nonsense).

I used to drink the occasional Rockstar Cola back when they were more widely available, but I don't really drink energy drinks. I can never finish a can and they all (with the exception of Red Bull) give me awful stomachaches.

Probably The Who (especially the Quadrophenia album), also like some Led Zeppelin and Dire Straits.

I'm about ten hours into the game right now (just got Esther in my party) and while I'm still thoroughly enjoying the game and, so far, intending to 100% it, I have a few minor complaints.

I wish the monster stat raising system was handled differently. It's sort of boring having to sit there feeding my monsters ten treats per level to maximize their stats. Obviously this isn't mandatory, but the fact that the option is there makes me need to do it; I've always been a completionist in my RPGs, for better or worse.

My other complaint is just how fast the battles move. When I go to defend against an enemy's oncoming special attack, for example, the attack often ends up going off way before I can defend. This applies to healing as well. By the time I've sorted through my spells to heal a party member, she's likely dead. Is there a way to "pause" the battle to sort through the menu to defend/heal or is it just a matter of quick menu navigation before the enemy's attack goes off?

The game is absolutely fantastic. It's shaping out to be the best JRPG this gen, which isn't saying much, but it blows everything else out of the water.

This. This game reminded me that JRPGs can still be whimsical without being cliched and obnoxious.

I bought the game last night and, for the first time in a long time, I lost track of time while playing. Logged in about 4 hours and it's already shaping up to be one of my favorite games of this gen. I'd say favorite JRPG, but like you said, that's not really saying much these days. :(

Neither.

I didn't care for FFXIII (pretty much lost interest in the series there) and I have absolutely no faith in Square Enix to remake FFVII without massively screwing it up.

I'm watching Dexter, but it's more out of obligation at this point than actually enjoying the show. In terms of quality, it's probably the most inconsistent show I've ever seen. I pretty much hate every other season. Liked 2 and 4, didn't care for 1, 3, or 5. 6 was decent enough (could've been a lot worse), and 7's tolerable so far.

As for The Walking Dead, I watched the first season and that was it. It just didn't hold my interest and zombies, both in television and video games, just don't do anything for me.

Nothing that I can think of...One thing I've been doing a lot lately is putting on my headphones to play music, but I end up not playing anything so I just sit there like an idiot wearing headphones for no reason... :|
