Has anyone played this or even seen it anywhere? I want to buy this for my Father In Law but am having no luck finding anyone who will ship it the US or a store in the states that even sells it. http://www.thudgame.com/

Yhitzak you have to be a subscriber and pay for access to the entire article otherwise you only see a small portion of it. I am a mother of two boys, one behaves politely and considerately of others, while the other is often times very rude and selfish. Does this mean I am a bad or good mother. I use to think my older childs behavior was a reflection of something I had done wrong. It took me years to figure out quite simply that he choses to be that way and there is nothing me or anyone on this earth will do to make him change unless he himself so desires to. A lot of people view children as these clean slates that we write behaviors and attitudes on by giving them examples of ourselves. Then when those turn sour we blame the parents. What a lot of folks forget is that there external influences in children's lives, relatives outside the household, neighbors, kids at school, books, magazines, television, and so many other things that influence children. Not only that there are studies that show some behavior can be inherited with some traits behavioral skipping generations in much the same manner as genetic appearance is affected. Now you average mom doesn't know what her grandparents or even the fathers grandparents were like especially if the child is adopted, or she was artificially inseminated at a sperm bank. This is by no means an excuse for bad parenting, but it is an example of how our children are not exact copies of us and how we behave no matter how much society would like to deem it so and push us to believe as well. There is a lot of pressure on women, and single fathers to be perfect parents and perfect examples for our children to teach them how to behave and be perfect themselves. the problem with perfect is quite simply that one persons perfect is another's version of flawed. It is probably why perfect was never defined in the first article to begin with. Each religion culture, community has its own ideal and not everyone will agree with it. So we try to fit all these ideals and we can't because they contradict with our true inner selves to the point of making depressed stressed out slugs.

Yes indeed happy New Years!

Okay I feel better. Zoto does mean something. It is Yakuza slang and it is basically like "giving someone your fist". As in you're about to beat them up. The equivalent of growling after every sentence. Not all Japanese use this term correctly as it is a private slang term for a mafia type group. Much like a lot of Americans will use several English words incorrectly without knowing what they for just because they hear others using them. Ingo is what the Yakuza call their own slang terms just as how the Mafia in the States refer to themselves as La Costa Nostra. For example in Ingo, an Unagi (eel) is a second story man while an usagi is a runner. Linguistics gets really difficult when you get into slang terms, especially when certain groups use their code for those said words.

according to my Japanese friends it doesn't have a real meaning it is just something you say to sound cool, and usually used by punks. I have been asking over the last couple of days and this is the continuous response I have gotten. Tsukasa Kotobuki uses it in his manga to emphasize the wanna be cool kids in a group, or someone who is flashy.

He says it in both the Japanese version. In the Japanese game it is written in Katakana (the written form used for non Japanese words), and all our friends said it is a way to sound tough like saying Yo. It is possible it doesn't mean anything and is just something tough people like to say. A lot of American kids in gangs say yo all the time, which is probably why they think that is why it is similar yo. The thing is he doesn't use the Kanji Zoto (which means gift giving) in the context of the definition. If you look up other variants like. Unless he is trying to state he is present, and making a play on Japanese the way some make on English, you can have present and be present for an event at the same time. The one Kanji with the Ramanji sound of Tsuto you get this a variety of definitions: rush; firm, enduring; to burst forth, which it could be... but the same Romaji can be done in a different kanji and mean this: sackcloth; female hemp plant

Because at the end of every sentence he says "zoto" which is sort of like saying Yo, trying to sound cool. Think of Chi chiri from Fushigi Yuugi he always nanoda at the end of every line, trying to be formally polite. Reno's lines are recited and written the same way.
