Many fans of Persona 3 have been wanting for a proper remake for a long time now. With the release of Persona 3: Dancing Moonlight, the desire to see a modern take on the members of SEES have only increased. While the game is very beloved by Persona fans and JRPG fans alike, there are some problems in Persona 3 that haven’t aged gracefully.

A Point By Point Breakdown Of Michael Jordan S Double Nickel Masterpiece At Madison Square Garden

It’s easy to remember the 55-point outburst just five games into the superstar’s return to the NBA. Jordan, wearing No. 45, broke the record he previously set for most points by an opposing player at MSG. He scored 50 against the Knicks on Nov. 1, 1986. You remember all that. You might have forgotten how the Bulls won that 113-111 thriller against New York.

A Record Year

Steely Dan’s gone back into hibernation (sorry, old-timers) and Eminem didn’t come out with an album. Last year, the many nominations for the cantankerous white rapper made the Grammys seem “with it,” and even added a bit of controversy to the mix (someone so mean can’t win for best album!). Steely Dan’s win fulfilled the Grammy promise of staying unflappably irrelevant–no one knew the 1970s group had even made an album in 2000....

A Sanctuary Shooting

The toll this time: seven dead–four of them teenagers–plus Ashbrook, who shot himself in the head as officers arrived. Seven people were injured, three of them critically. Inevitably, the tragedy, in the home state of Republican presidential front runner Gov. George W. Bush, took on political overtones. Bush attributed the shootings to “a wave of evil passing through America now,” and urged Americans to “pray for love in people’s hearts....

A Second Stimulus Check This Month Is Unlikely Here S Why

The $3 trillion House-approved bill includes a measure for direct stimulus payments to individuals of around $1,200 and up to $6,000 for families, as U.S. citizens continue to reel from the nationwide impact of COVID-19. The Republican-dominated Senate looks set to reject it in its current form, with Majority Leader Mitch McConnell among voices criticizing the act and those behind it. However, even if it were likely to be passed, the Senate recess looks set to push any decision back, leaving it unable to get through Congress before the end of this month....

Vallow and her husband, Chad Daybell, who allegedly subscribed to apocalyptic, cultist beliefs, are facing multiple counts of conspiracy to commit murder and first-degree murder in addition to other crimes.

Los Angeles Lakers Loss Of Farmar Crippling To Bench Unit

Farmar, who won two championship rings with the Lakers in 2009 and 2010, took a $4 million pay cut this summer to come back to Hollywood, leaving Anadolu Efes, the Turkish team he played for in the 2012-13 season after signing a three-year, $15 million deal contract at the beginning of that season. Farmar has so far excelled this season, averaging 9.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists in close to 20 minutes of play per game while anchoring the league’s highest scoring bench (per Hoop Stats)....

A New Identity For Europe

American Moralism? I was surprised by Michael Elliott’s article “What We Owe Them” (Special Report, June 21). Elliott takes on an extremely American moralistic tone with his view that “For two generations, West Europeans got fat and happy while their near neighbors in the communist half of the continent led stunted, fearful lives.” Also that we Europeans “should prepare to discharge a moral debt to [our] neighbors.” In this very assumption, shouldn’t we expect those Americans, who are also fat and rich, if not more so, to discharge their moral indebtedness to Latin America?...

A New Republic

But the long night of French democracy is not yet over. Le Pen and his ilk (including former aide Bruno Megret) have qualified to run candidates in at least 319 constituencies when France votes for the 577 members of the national assembly. While it’s doubtful the far right would win more than a small fraction of these seats, it’s got the potential to wield a lot of clout in individual races....

A Piece Of Shrapnel Behind Bubba S Tears At The Ryder Cup

And it really didn’t have anything to do with losing. The source of his tears at the Ryder Cup in France can be traced to a piece of shrapnel Watson had removed from his father when he died. Gerry Watson was a lieutenant in the Special Forces during Vietnam. Watson says his father was injured by a grenade and removed one piece of shrapnel from under his eye. The other piece was too close to the kidney, so it stayed there until his death from throat cancer in October 2010....

A Political Football

The Indonesian government doesn’t have the luxury of forgiving. The world’s largest Muslim nation is on a near-war footing, trying to track down all those involved in the Oct. 12 Bali bombing while simultaneously fighting radical Islam for the country’s soul. This two-front war is looming large over the ongoing investigation into the blasts. Indonesian police, assisted by foreign law-enforcement agencies, have thus far conducted a textbook investigation, say Western diplomats....

A Question Of Life Or Death

Biology and common sense alike tell us that we are dealing with human life in its earliest form. With implantation and luck (about 40 percent of embryos fail to survive naturally) each will become a genetically unique person like you and me. The ethical questions then become clear: what value should we place on human embryos, and how should their well-being be balanced with that of the millions whose acute suffering might be alleviated through stem-cell research and development?...

A Rare Chance For Change

President George W. Bush is now weighing how or whether the United States will re-engage to help fix Liberia–the biggest regional problem. Opponents of intervention argue that Liberia’s situation is hopelessly complicated, that U.S. forces are stretched too thin, that the United States has no strategic interests at stake and that this sort of “social work” is best left to Africans and Europeans. In fact, the United States today has a unique and unexpected opportunity to work in concert with U....
