No that's not what they dream of that's what they count while they wait to fall asleep.

I want to make a petition to change Shadow Yukiko's name to Yunalesca 2.0. Wait, 3.0. That hydra thing in Lost Odyssey still takes the cake.
Also, this game is absolutely awesome!

Let's talk about how Philip K Dick is one of the greatest sci-fi authors of all time!
Seriously, he is.
Also, you should all join the Steam group. Chat last night was pretty neat.

I need to....read books...someday
Yes you do. Start with the big four Sci-fi authors: Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, and Dick!
I need to re-read VALIS one of these days. Shame The Owl in Daylight was never finished.
This post reminded me of the platformer series Valis.
Now I'm bummed out.

I guess you could say my favorite book was The Odyssey, but I haven't read it, or any book really, since high school. I bought the book because of a work there too...

A fellow PKD fan?
High five!
It's a shame that The Owl in Daylight was never finished, but the way I see it is that he wrote a serious amount of fiction, which is more than can be said for some great writers. It makes me sad that he only achieved full appreciation of his work after his death though. Ridiculous.
It's worth it. I re-read the final few pages earlier, and they're just amazing.
I'm off to see the film in about fifteen minutes. Can't wait to see how much the Wachowski's have butchered it. Anticipate anger upon my return.
Ah yes. So many of his works have been adopted into movies after his death. Almost everyone has read one of Dick's stories, they just don't know it.

Give me an example of a popular dick story that many have read without knowing it
A Scanner Darkly. Blade Runner. Total Recall (Both versions.) Paycheck. Imposter. Minority Report. The Adjustment Bureau.
All movies adopted (directly or indirectly) from his novels and/or short stories.

Can someone make this into an avatar for me please?
Its a shame this is fan art though. The MC looks cool and it has a university vibe.

How's this?
Its great. Thanks.
I liked it quite a bit. Its main problem is that it doesn't have the same luxury of time that the game has, and as a result loses a lot of subtlety and nuance in the process. The result is characters end up as sort of caricatures of the game versions and more slapstick-y comedy.
Yeah I've heard it feels a bit rushed at times.
I was never terribly interested in it because I actually never really liked the idea of the P4 main character being an actual character. Strange I know, but Yu always felt like Gordon Freeman to me, in that he was more the link between the player and the game universe than an actual character.
Either way, looking forward to watching it now.

So the Cloud Atlas film is interesting.
Heavy, significant changes were made.
Kind of interesting that the only one that is even slightly similar to the original story is A Scanner Darkly.

Wow, that's DC from SoFla commentating. I fought him in Miami(and got mutilated).
This is only kind of Persona related, but what's the deal on Soul Hackers difficulty? I've got a friend who could barely play Nocturne but beat P3 and P4 and was looking for a new 3ds rpg. I just don't want to give him something that's 90s Atlus style 'fuck you get killed' difficulty if there's no easier modes.

Soul Hackers does have easier modes, but it's much harder than P3/P4. Not as hard as Nocturne though.

Or Hollywood is just whitewashed and typecast. yep.
I remember that 21 movie, yessirre.
The amount of Asians was fine.
In case you were wondering also, the film is much, much worse than the book. It's okay, whereas the book is incredible.
They also absolutely butchered my favourite plotline, which was annoying. It went from poignant and sad in the novel to OH MAN EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE.
Woohoo got the plat in P4G. First platinum as well. I'm a few trophies away from the Demon's Souls platinum but never got around to a new game+.
You can add me to the PKD fan club as well. I've read a few of his works but not in a long time.
I guess I'll pick up Fire Emblem Awakening after two full runs of P4G. That will probably keep me going until Soul Hackers.

I don't know if I'll actually ever go back to Demon's Souls. I did most of it last summer and still haven't gone back. I think I just need the trophies for all spells and all miracles if I remember correctly. I would have had to do multiple completions or use the dupe trick on some Demon's Souls.

Only plat I have is Demon's Souls, but I'm content with that.
Really close to Tekken 6, and I plan on getting Catherine eventually.

I don't have any platinums. Closest I had was Crack in Time but I ended up burning out on that game. That and I really don't care about Platinums all that much.

Only platinums I have are Playstation All-stars (because it was ludicrously easy) and The Walking Dead (just beat all 5 episodes). Other than that, I could never care enough to get other platinums.
