    It's like Aphrodite being jealous of Venus.

    Dunno, is it strange that someone who probably defines themselves in a great deal by their looks is jealous when somebody else is complimented on their looks?

    I don't think I could be friends with someone just for the 'hookups' as it were

    mutual exchange of benefits is the reason you HAVE friends hakks.

    I know hakks likes to be the virgin whore of the chat thread, but I almost get the impression she doesn't particularly want throwaway sex.

    Basically I wantto know if I can/should play 2 without having played 1

    In some ways it might be better, they're both solid games (assuming you like their style and genre) but going from one 80 hour epic SRPG weird demonic anime number grind to a second 80 hour epic SRPG weird demonic anime number grind might be... umm... taxing.

    You'll miss the context of a handful of cameos and inside jokes, but not so much that you can't understand them at all.

    Also if you just want to do the story missions for Disgea 1 you could probably get through them in a day or two.

    It never ceases to amaze me how much shit Jeffe gives Obs the pass on.

    I think he must be like Jeffe's heavily autistic cousin or something. And whenever Obs gets temp banned he spends the entire two weeks bitching at their mutual relatives.

    In the last few pages of the gay marriage thread, as I see it, Obs was consistently wrong but never an asshole. Whereas the people who got infracted were being pretty dickish.

    Final Fantasy 10 was the worst for this. Just cut out the hours of pointless random battles and send me the plot summary. Because absolutely nothing I do with the controller is going to have any impact on the slightest detail of what is happening.

    Ehhh... it's pretty fair. You're wrong, he's wrong, both of you pull this "I don't care that everybody disagrees with me, I'm going to hold this opinion and you all should be okay with it" argument. The only difference is the incorrect view you hold, which in this case is secondary to the manner in which you hold and defend it.
