That said, there was one boss that I died against in DQ8 because I thought that I was supposed to loose (it was also back-to-back with another boss battle that sapped nearly all my mana).

Is that the boss in the middle of the game that is sort of a climax to the first half and is actually probably the hardest battle you'll ever fight?

But yeah it's so sweet than in DQ8 you don't have to fight both forms of a multi-part boss several times in a row. It seems sometimes like it is designed for you to lose the first time, but since you're already halfway through the battle, you have less to deal with the second time.

How did Pandas suddenly come into the conversation?

Well if you hadn't commented on the issue before checking out the original topic then you would know! One of the rules is that the game must feature a panda as a prominent character or theme.

I've always liked Persona 3's system:

Basically you play the role of a normal kid going through school, but at night, a tower appears that only you (and certain chosen others) can go to.

So by day, you're building relationships with others, making friends, which improves your stats.

Then by night, you attempt to climb further and further up the tower, where enemies get progressively harder.

And as the days go by, the environment changes to reflect that. For example, in summer, everyone switches to more casual wear. There were also special events that occurred on set dates, such as festivals, or vacations.

I was so interested in Persona 3 but I can't bring myself to play a turn-based RPG with AI-controlled teammates. It's petty, I know, but I suspect that it's probably game-breaking. Too many awesome games come out these days to take risks with anything you might not like!

Safari is the default browser on OS X, yes.

I disagree because the correct name for the default browser in OS X is LAMO BROWSER FOR EMO KIDS

I've been waiting to see Bush get impeached for years now. I hope that this story finally starts the impeachment process.

Fat chance dude. He lost the first election in the eyes of the American people and lost the second election in the eyes of the law but somehow he is still our president! Scary stuff. I'm just glad that we aren't jailed and executed for pointing it out the way that people in Russia are. I am confused that such a blundering idiot has so much ambition because historically people who steal control of countries are people like Stalin and Putin and Mao and Jong-Il who are calculating, cold masterminds. George Bush does not strike me as calculating, cold, or a mastermind.
