KEY EXCERPTS:

“Why is this Japanese video game addressing us in German?”

“Nietzsche is telling us that we cannot transcend our limits by adhering to popularly held values. These values are chains. One is free to adopt the same values as the herd if one wishes, the important thing is that one comes to these conclusions on one’s own.”

“See, the NBA won’t allow its athletes to take so-called performance enhancing drugs. As a result, we all are forced to watch a bunch of subpar basketball.”

“Xenosaga II deals in the real, he says.”

“Two and a half minutes into this game we are seeing chaos, who looked about fourteen in the first game, look also about fourteen fourteen years ago.”

“When it comes to Xenosaga II, the player is always either 1) watching movies or 2) killing mobs.”

“Eminence can be whatever the player wants it to be.”
