    ~*I got my copy of Project X Zone 2 in the mail yesterday. I only did the prologue battle stage & I was already reading sexually suggestive dialogue & the game’s T for Teen rating lists partial nudity as content. A female character even got her butt pinched! s/ I’m surprised the game wasn’t censored by the US government because of the law that says games entering the US must be heavily censored even when the content is perfectly acceptable for teenagers aged 13-16. /s Oh that’s right! There is no such law! My mistake. I guess ShadyKnights doesn’t know what the hell he was talking about & was simply a Nintendolt damage controlling for his Nintendo Overlords like the sheep that he is. *shrug* Oh well. That’s his problem.*~

        ~*Apparently. Matters not to me, though. As far as I’m concerned, he’s just another Brandon Headache, alexsmith113, & smashbroslink. No need to argue with them since they got their heads up Nintendo’s ass. Their opinion won’t change & neither will mine so just say my peace, try the “agree to disagree” thing if my first comment to them doesn’t get them to accept my opinion, & move on. If they don’t agree to disagree, oh well. it just shows who the real immature person in the argument was. Nothing says immature more than someone trying to actually win an opinion battle. Sadly, I still fall prey to my less mature Ridley X3 persona. Lucifer X3 is still a work in progress, it seems.*~

        ~*Calling him out on some of my comments in other articles isn’t doing myself any favors, though, by making me the more mature person. Then again, maybe I should implement more troll tactics into my Lucifer X3 persona. lol*

        ~*Either way, I’ve been on the internet too long. Time to go watch the latest Arrow & Supernatural episode on Hulu Plus on my PS4 with the wife then play some Toukiden Kiwami and a little bit of Project X Zone 2 on 3DS. Maybe watch Howard the Duck with her, too, before playing a video game or two.*~

              ~*32. Ugh. I hate that number. It looks & sounds so lame. But no. I’m not that old. You are off by 4 years. I’m 28 & will turn 29 in May.*~

            ~*Look further down for my right age cuz Lord Quadraxis was way off.

            Update: Apparently he’s got proof to back up his “facts.” Clearly I’m not dealing with someone that thinks he’s stating an opinion but a fact. This should be interesting. I can’t wait to see him give me these laws, regulations, precidents, etc to prove it’s the US government pulling Nintendo’s American Sect’s strings & not just NoA being puritanical morons. But since he misread my comment & thought I was justifying pedophilia in video games, he probably only read what he wanted to read out of the so called proof he has. Guess I’ll find out if he’s right or just crazy soon enough. I doubt it, though. If the US Government is to blame for Nintendo games being censored, why haven’t Atlus & their games been forced to obey this “censorship” law yet? What are your thoughts on the matter? Think he’s crazy or think he might be right? If he’s right, I’ll concede his opinion is indeed a fact & my opinion is now moot since there is a fact telling me my opinion is wrong. As for the pedophilia thing, I had to fix his misconception of the word. Apparently he’s in the group of people that think pedophilia incorporates being attracted to anyone under 18 when that is so not the actual definition of the word. *sigh* Popular belief, especially when it’s WRONG, can be so annoying.*~

              I have done zero research into who is actually responsible for the censorship of Nintendo games in America. I just assumed it was NOA. Bit honestly, I don’t play Fire Emblem, so I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to the situation. Browsed some of the articles out of boredom, but that’s about it. So I am not the best person to speak on the matter. But Commander is good people. He and I got into it a long time ago, but we’ve both mellowed. We don’t agree on everything, but we respect each other. You and I ate very similar in opinions, so you are also good people. So hopefully you two can make peace.
