I made a video regarding what I think are the best (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lCmjjgig4E)

But I'm curious as to what other people think are the best songs from Chrono Trigger?

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on this video I filmed. It's a short essay on why I play video games. Anything you can add would be awesome!

For me, gaming is just something I enjoy doing. It's primarily the same as watching television or reading books; it's an entertainment form. I'm not bored with life, nor do I believe I ever will be, but gaming is always fun, so I'll pass the time with it.

It depends on what the Collector's Edition has in it. If it's just early access to DLC, then no, the extra $10-20 bucks is a waste but if it's got something nifty like a statue then I'd say, go for it. I also believe that the worth of a collector's edition depends on how much the person wants the game; I'm really excited for Batman: AC, so I know I'll be grabbing it's collector's edition but I can live without the Saint's Row 3 CE.

If you're going to get into Batman, keep a look out for basically anything written by Grant Morrison. "Hush" was quite good as well. If you're planning on reading anything else by DC Comics, check out "52" it's one of DC's best events. It focuses on the "B-list" heroes of the DC universe. (It follows the story of a world without the big three, Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, who "disappear" during "Infinite Crisis")

As for Marvel, check out Civil War, it's concept was interesting, but I personally believe it fell short on presentation. It's still definitely worth a read through, though. Check out Deadpool as well, he's a fun little character (the stuff written by Joe Kelly made the character, however so make sure you read those.)

I personally believe that if you have any sort of information on a character, then you can instantly pick up on what's happening. If you know Spider-Man was bitten by a radio active spider, than you're set to pick up any copy of Spider-Man at your local comic book store. (Of course, the Internet is always there to help you if you don't understand right away.)

And please, make an effort to read some indie comics. Stuff like Joe Kelly's "I Kill Giants" and James Stokoe's "Orc Stain" are fantastic and beautiful.

EPIC!!!!! Question though why does Solomon Grundy always say he was born on a monday?

X-The-Doctor-X

"Solomon Grundy, Born on a Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday, Took ill on Thursday, Grew worse on Friday, Died on Saturday, Buried on Sunday. This is the end of Solomon Grundy."

He's referencing that rhyme; he was actually named after the Solomon Grundy in the rhyme.

There are many reasons why they're terrible. For game based movies, the story of the game itself gets lost in translation due to the producer and director. The choice of game to base a movie off of is also pretty terrible. (Street Fighter? It's a fighting game, why make a movie out of that?)

Movie based games usually flop because they are rushed to match the release date of the movie. Also, if the movie is good, they'll more than likely try to throw in random areas that were never in the movie to begin with to "enhance" the experience! I personally can't stand them because I've already seen the movie, there shouldn't be a reason for me to play through a 4 hour romp of what I already saw.

Most of the time it's not the store's fault that the pre-order bonuses don't get handed out. The people who were handling it during shipping could have screwed up the shipping and lost it. It's not like it matters too much either. You're getting the game at least!

Demon's Souls by far. That game is just ruthless in it's difficulty. (It's name is pretty difficult to pronounce as well!)
