For a second there I thought you meant Ashley Riot.

I fucking LOVED Vagrant Story, even though I still don't fully understand how it works.

Flagship hasn't closed.  There were layoffs.

Layoffs of everybody. I think that counts as "closed".

Castle of Shikigami for Wii is awesome. Everyone should buy it.

I've been playing Stalker lately with the Oblivion Lost mod, and I must say getting mauled by a pack of dogs never gets old.

Dwarf Fortress implemented the ability to build more than one wall/floor at a time.  About time, too.  I mean, it would've come in handy back when I was building a four-story high dam in front of an artificial lake, but hey, fie on me for not waiting.  Although now that I think about it, I could stick noble housing inside of the hollow dam, rig up a few floodgates along the lake side of it and add a lever or three for easy disposal...

Mist is meant to make Dwarves happy, Habuki. You're a monster.

As for me, it's my dwarves that are the monsters although sometimes I am the invisible catalyst that accidentally turns them into the Tolkien flavoured Batman villains they sometimes become.

I decided one time that my fortress had way too many puppies and dogs in it because I don't have a magma vent and so metalcrafting fuel is too valuable to me to waste my charcoal and coke on making cages to stop dogs from fucking when I should be making metal barrels, armour, weapons and tools. So, after training a lot of them to be war dogs in my new kennel, I decided to set the majority of the remainder to be slaughtered, many of them puppies that the children play with because you can't train puppies and you can always use more meat and bones to make practice bolts for your marksdwarves to train with. None of them were claimed as pets yet so no one got depressed or pissed or anything but then, one of my children dwarves fell into a secretive mood.

This alarmed be because I didn't think children could get strange moods since they can't do work or have any labours enabled. But little Strolaf ran off and commandeered the craftsdwarf's workshop and drew some pictures of animal bones. Within a month he had created VOLKANOV the legendary dog-bone coffin...

I never bought all the hoopla about how the highly randomized but very complex and patterned inner workings of Dwarf Fortress often created very interesting stories despite the game's almost complete lack of scripting but now I'm a believer.

I am having a bit more fun with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. now that I have a gun that can shoot straight. I'm not sure if I quite understand all the hype, but damn, it is atmospheric. Too bad it has so many other flaws.

Gungrave was like four hours long, but it was an enjoyable four hours.

The World Ends With You is the first game I've gotten to play that made me feel really happy I have a DS. This is the first game I've gotten to play that made me think, "Ah, the stylus is the most natural control scheme for this game."

This probably says more about me, my DS purchases, and the price of tea in China than it does about TWEWY, but whatever.

It is a game with a control scheme that would only ever work with a dual screen and stylus.  And it's an awkward scheme.

This is true, but I'm still having a lot of fun for some reason.

New Culiacan's background music is one of the things I like about Lunar Knights.

EDIT: It'd be kind of nice if youtube addresses didn't parse into embedded videos when part of URL tags.  I'm being lazy by leaving it as is; the alternative would be tinyurl-ing the youtube address and then linking to it.

The icon looks like an up-side-down top-hat.

...Something tells me it'll wind up being something like a keg tap for the human neck.
