@KatyGaGa: Yeah, that's the most common feeling: "Why should they be able to get away with it?". The most reliable answer is that life simply isn't fair. But think about it, your friend will most likely get what's coming in the end anyways. If the same behavior continues, no learning experience will ever come and the same mistakes will be repeated over and over again. Your friend will most likely never have a solid relationship again. And if your friend stops and learns from it, then you will have both learned from his mistake and be better off. We all gotta learn someway, and as stupid as it sounds at the time, sometimes this is the only way. It all depends on the maturity level of the person that made the mistake.

I know someone who still hasn't learned and is completely miserable as a married man. With that said, you don't have to forget, but the whole concept of forgiveness (to me) is just accepting what happened and moving on without holding a grudge. I don't know the extent of the relationship, but if you are still with this person, then you can decide the break it off if forgiveness will take more time than it's worth, or try to repair the damage. The problem is, you will never see the same person in the same light again (at least for a long while). The trust that was there was broken and it takes time to repair if even possible.

All in all, the person did not get away with anything. Our mistakes almost always follow us until we die unless we learn from them. It's just how it goes. I hope you're able to forgive though. Don't let the person win, by causing you to hold a lifelong grudge of unhappiness and misery.

I'd just like a better "footsies" game, but that seemingly goes against what MK is. It's always been a game about committing to what moves/combos you make.

@katygaga If you want to be able to move on with your life, then you must forgive the person to an extent. Being able to forgive means more to you than it will to them. It makes it easier to continue on, because those negative thoughts/feelings will eat away at you over time. Don't forgive them for their sake, forgive them for yourself at the very least.

The thing about forgiveness is that you can never forget what they did. Remembering what they did and being cautious is what helps you learn from their and your mistakes. Just don't hold a lifelong grudge. It hurts you more than it hurts them.

@Ravernparadox: I've never heard that quote before, but I have been in that mindset since I became an adult.

@Korolev:  I understand what you mean, because that has happened in other games. However, I can't say that happened to me in this game. Classical seems to help calm me when doing the puzzles, so I still enjoyed hearing the tracks over and over. BUT, if I had to pick one that was played a bit much, I'd have to agree with you.

@FluxWaveZ: That one is my second favorite. Golden show is definitely good too! I just like all of it! 
 
@Slayer22 I actually just started P3 and P4 is on the way from amazon. I'm not too far in, but I'll report back here if I really dig the music. Catherine got me into P3/4 believe it or not. After those two, I'll move onto the Devil Summoner and DDS games!

 ..is so damn good! Anyone else really appreciating the 'remixed classical' theme the game goes for? There are some songs off of the soundtrack that I just had to have to carry around with me. Sorry if this was already discussed. On that note, I love how Atlus has been providing the physical soundtrack with their games.  
 
Favorite song: Little Fugue in G Minor  
 
Have a favorite?

Depends. Look at Portal 2: it had a female protagonist and I loved it. Also, in RE5 I don't mind playing as the female character and would play through the whole game as her (wouldn't bother me). However, I hate games, like diablo, that choose a gender for you based on your class choice. For example, in Diablo, the hunter character is always female. Also, in Sacred 2, the hunter character is always female.  
 
Now, I enjoy playing snipers in games, but I hate having my gender chosen for me in video games. If I want a male hunter, and the game does not allow it, I lose interest. Same goes for when I want a female warrior and there are only males available. It bugs the hell outta me!

@somejerk: I think your point is a bit flawed. You said that people aren't turned into psychos by their upbringing, but then pointed out that those kids that beat that old lady were not raised well at all. I'd say that their upbringing has a lot to do with why they are the way they are now. I also think  that games/music could influence behavior in a negative way, BUT only if the person/s have violent tendencies before-hand. It's just like music/movies/television - if someone has violent tendencies and then violent material is presented to them, it makes it easier for them to go through with the idea.  
 
However, that's not saying that I think that violent games should be banned. Violence is never going to be fully-prevented - it's impossible. Even if parents took more responsibility, violence would still be widespread. It's just so easy nowadays for someone to get their hands on a gun/knife/wrench/can of lysol and a lighter and kill someone. The media is not the source, and the parents are not the end all be all (although raising children correctly is the greatest deterrent). We can do our best, but at the end of the day whatever someone decides to do, they are going to do it. Welcome to real life, Supreme Court.

@rebgav: I've considered switching, and I've been trying out other characters. I've gotten good results with Dhalsim, and his zoning is really strong (and all he has TBH). I just use normals and then throw out some fireballs to make them react. It sounds simple, but when they get a good read...all I can do is pray, lol.
