Video game name aren't nearly as bad as naming your daughter Reagan

I have heard of Americans with the first name Reagan a bunch of times and it only now occurred to me that it could be a Ronald Reagan thing. Is that the whole reason why some people in the US are called that?

Yeah because it reminds people of a foul mouthed, crucifix-loving, priest-killing demon.

Or that little girl from The Exorcist.

It's really good. They basically expanded upon everything good from the first and cut out bad things. Both chaotic and stealth paths are fully fleshed out now and have a nice arsenal, it's a really cool game.

Christina Fallin is one thing, like that's someone deliberately being super lovely. I'm only 1/4 Native and have no tribal affiliation but she can gently caress off and die forever. But come on... why must everything be terrible :(

Opinions differ on whether it's slightly better or slightly worse than D1 but it's certainly up on the same level.

Naming your kids after Game of Thrones characters has to be the worst trendy nerd parent thing, because at least video games are actually good.

Dishonored 2 owns but the plot is somehow even worse than 1's. You can easily ignore it though.

This poo poo is fascinating to me

quote:

From one of the Final Fantasy Games. My daughters name is Rinoa. It is as unique as she is. A lot of people try to pronounce it Rinella! But its just like Noahs ark with a R at the front. We call her Rinbug.

quote:

We also named our daughter this, and as previously said, most people unfortunately have a hard time pronouncing it. The most common mis-pronounciation for us is Rinola. Didn't think 5 little letters would be so hard! Our nicknames for her seem to help though...Rin, Noa, and our favorite, Rinny.

quote:

As I am a "Rinoa" I have lived with being called granola,Rinola,Rinona, Etc... So people spell me name R-i-n-o-a-h .. They were soo close... Lol... Anyways... My mom called me Rinoa of of Rinoa Heartily... I guess that's all.

I pondered the idea of eventually grabbing a heavily discounted Wii U to have The Nintendo Machine with it's virtual console.

But, then I realized most of the games on VC are still $10 each. wtf.
