Number of times Rory or Lorelai treat their bff like shit:Lane and Sookie are forced to do irritating tasks multiple times because Lorelai is a shit event planner. Seriously, who the hell allows their client to change a party theme multiple times? Sookie worked hard on a golf ball cake and Lane acquired flags, only to find out that Ridgemont changed his retirement party theme for the fourth time. Those two should revolt until Lorelai wises up and learns how to write a contract that doesn't drive everyone fucking insane.
I don't know why someone in the writers' room didn't stop everyone from going forward with this shit show. A flashback episode on "Gilmore Girls"? Did ASP drop a bunch of acid before showing up to work? It's a difficult concept to execute, especially when working with what I assume was a micro budget. I'm enthralled by it in retrospect, but at the time it actually aired I was probably annoyed to see other actors in two important roles.
the walkmen everyone who pretended zip
Back in the 80s, Lorelai's pregnancy has been revealed and the elder Gilmores and Haydens sit in the parlor, discussing what should be done, while the kids lurk on the stairs and listen. Straub, Christopher's dad, suggests abortion and everyone is absolutely horrified. As far as Emily's concerned, it is absolutely NOT a viable option. Richard suggests that Christopher marry Lorelai and take a job at his company. No one asks the kids what they want to do; every decision is made for them. Christopher is less horrified by this than Lorelai.
In the end, he has shown to have grown from being isolated and abrasive into a compassionate, selfless and caring young man. However, this does not necessarily mean Neku likes humanity in general because the player is asked by Megumi Kitaniji if he does, and the player is free to answer either way, resulting in ambiguity in Neku's characterization. Regardless, Neku sees the value in listening to people and not shutting everyone else out, and will always want to defend Shibuya even if Neku tells Kitaniji he doesn't like people. Additionally, Neku has shown to be quite merciful, as he was able to remain friends Joshua and become friends with Coco when their actions, although well-intentioned, resulted in three years of his life being trapped in the void remains of Shinjuku.
A week later, Neku walks around Shibuya, addressing an absent Joshua about how he grew over the past few weeks and how they were very hard for him, learning how to trust people and having that trust broken. Neku is glad he met everyone which opened up his mind to the world and invites him to meet at Hachiko. He meets with Beat and Rhyme at the Statue of Hachiko. A while later, Shiki joins the group as well, no longer in Eri's body. Joshua never appears proper at their meeting, but he watches them with Hanekoma on 104 Building's rooftop. Neku is seen finally taking off his headphones.
From the end of the first week up to the second day of Week 2, Beat is mistaken to be Neku due to his appearance being similar to Neku's own. Neku himself would make his true appearance on Week 3, Day 4, saving Beat and the rest of the Wicked Twisters from the Noise form of Sho Minamimoto (Leo Cantus Armo), to the shock of everyone there. Neku joins the Wicked Twisters thereafter.
On the Final Day, Rindo helps Neku meet up with Rhyme and Shiki, although neither can see or hear him as his existence is confined to the UG. In order to help save Shibuya, Neku has to sync with everyone in Shibuya. Neku helps the team defeat Phoenix Cantus.
Neku comes to Shibuyapalooza with Beat, who hasn't been able to sleep because he was so excited to see the show after many delays. When the Wicked Twisters pile on Fret for losing the tickets, Neku tells them to stop because everyone makes mistakes and Fret is probably more disappointed in himself than anyone. Neku thinks to himself that it means a lot when he planned his whole summer around seeing Shibuyapalooza. When the Wicked Twisters sign up for Reaper's Romp at Statue of Hachiko, Beat tells Neku that they aren't getting a lot of screentime. Neku tells him to let the younger characters have fun and their lack of screentime means they can play Tin Pin Slammer. At the end of the scenario, Neku is satisfied to forgive and forget Fret's mistake because they still saw Shibuyapalooza due to the Reaper's Romp.
Following the duel, Joshua has a change of heart and spares Shibuya, having observed the changes in Neku firsthand. Neku then wakes up at the Scramble again, only to realize that he is back in the Realground. In the ending, Neku wishes to see Joshua again, hoping he will show up at Hachiko with everyone else. He states that while he can't forgive him, he trusts him. Joshua does not arrive however, and watches the friends from atop 104 along with Hanekoma.
Neku wakes up after dreaming about Udagawa. Neku wants to see Udagawa; Joshua thinks it's because of the energy signature, but Neku wants to so he can find out why he died. At Tipsy Tose Hall, the Udagawa wall is closed. Joshua makes a deal with Def Märch where they let down the wall if they find their missing microphone. At the phone booth, Neku suggests someone might have turned the microphone into the police as a lost item, but Joshua interrupts with a video of Minamimoto taking it for his art. 777 releases the wall as promised. Joshua explains the camera can record the past, but only allows two shots a day and drains the battery. Sota and Nao meet Joshua and Neku while fleeing; they warn them about the Noise and tell them to turn back so they can all live. Joshua says that not everyone can come back to life, and those who don't have to play again, like Neku. Neku blames himself for Shiki not coming back to life, but Sota and Nao run away before they can continue speaking.
Neku wakes up in the Scramble Crossing, alive. Confused, a passerby bumps into him. Neku stares up at the Q-Front, seeing an advertisement rather than a days countdown. At Statue of Hachiko, Neku runs up to Beat and Rhyme waiting for him. Beat doesn't understand why they're alive, but Rhyme says it has to be something Neku, Beat, and Shiki did. Neku asks where Shiki is - someone taps him on the back. It's Shiki in her real body, holding Mr. Mew. Neku removes his headphones and greets her like when they first met. Beat mentions there is new graffiti in Udagawa. Rhyme says it showed up overnight, and Shiki says everyone's been talking about it. Neku says it was done by Hanekoma and Beat teases him for his graffiti enthusiasm. Beat asks how they could perform a Fusion like they did on Draco Cantus, and Neku guesses Hanekoma was cheering them on with his keypin to the Shibuya River. En route, Neku, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme meet up with Sota and Nao at Tokyu Hands. It is shown the graffiti at Udagawa is a dedication to Neku: purple headphones surrounded by angel wings.
Otherwise, "everyone has had enough of NES games" is a narrow-minded and egocentric mentality that continues to dismiss the influx of future gamers who may have not grown up to access the classics even around the time Virtual Console was all the rage. Now there's yet another opportunity, this time bundled with what many people will have other reasons to use anyway and offering a bit more than Virtual Console did for its whole digital ownership (the ownership that a lot of fans STILL write in parentheses for its digital nature). Forget online multiplayer, I can only wish my Pokemon Blue and Gold had online trading, dagnabit! XD
Much like we learned with Wii U, the retro offerings only are worth it if everyone is involved. Without the Capcom, Konami, Square and other good publishers from that era it all wears thin fast. Throw in that some of the best games were licensed (Batman, TMNT II, Little Nemo, Disney Capcom, Little Samson, Willow, and others) that will never appear because of licensing nightmares, and the service looks thin.
On Xbox Live, cloud saves are free for everyone. Not just Live Gold subscribers. EVERYONE. Sony is the only other company that paywalls their cloud saves. Both allow all games with local saves to be backed up to the cloud, not just some games with caveats like Nintendo's half-arsed system. Both also allow users to manually back up their own saves on external devices, also unlike Nintendo. Neither Microsoft nor Sony hold your save data hostage like Nintendo is attempting to do.
I'm sorry but if you think what Nintendo is offering is worth $20 a year, you're not paying attention. Because what they're offering is a "service" that isn't even up to par with what we had in 2007 from everyone else.
@tedko No one likes leasing because everyone knows buying is a better ROI, but the truth of the matter is that buying is not good ROI on publishers who have to recoup $1M of dev costs; many have to do shady things like crap DLC to cover loses. It doesn't help that the used game industry still exists and are dipping into publishers profits. Top it off with people who give their passwords to other people to play their paid digital games purchase and you have entire communities that thrive on pennies of a dollar that takes hundreds on a penny to upkeep.
The police chief, some officers, and a physician waited with Jonathan at our house until his parents could make the three-hour drive from Lenoir City. He told the detectives how his abduction had unfolded. He had been riding his bike near his home when Peck's van nearly struck him, causing him to crash in a ditch. Peck had pretended it was an accident and offered to help, but that was just a ruse to get him into the van. Later, Mr. Peck made up the story about Jonathan being his grandson Joe from California. He kept him indoors most of the time and threatened to murder Jonathan's family if he tried to escape or told anyone who he was.
Dr. Ray Stantz returned to the Paranormal Studies Laboratory excited about the library, nearly killing the mood Peter Venkman had created with his latest volunteer, Jennifer. Ray exclaimed, "This is it! This is definitely it!" Ray grabbed a Camcorder off a table near Peter then asked him if those UV lenses came in for the video camera and for the blank tape that he erased the day before. Ray gathered equipment from a shelf. Peter turned to Jennifer and asked if she would excuse him. Peter crept over to Ray, hopped off the floor, and cartoonishly slapped him on the head as he told him he was right in the middle of something. He pretended to be talking to Ray in normal fashion by the time Jennifer peaked over. Peter insisted he needed a little more time with Jennifer and asked him he could come back in an hour or hour and a half. Ray told Peter about the sighting at the library. Peter, uninterested, tried to handle him and told him get right down there, check it out and get back to him. Ray shook his head and told Peter he was coming, too. He told Peter about Egon took P.K.E. readings and shared he believed they were close and he could feel it. 2ff7e9595c
