I was meaning in regard to cost of living baseline, and baseline standard pay rates. "of course" demand is a legitimate market phenomenon. That does not make the price "fair".

In the case of College Hill, (been a few years since I checked, so a little error is unavoidable) the average rate for "dungheap apartment with roaches" outside the college area is about 300$/mo, with "Liveable apartments" in the 400 to 500$/mo range. College hill apartments are borderline dungheap (students.. you know what I mean.), at 500 to 700/mo pricing.  that is more than 20% above baseline.

The Year of Luigi is apparently continuing into 2014.
In other news, Nintendo apparently doesn't know what a year is.

Before I continue the Nintendo note, I need to lay down some background information.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Shake_%28meme%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_Shake_%28song%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlem_shake_%28dance
Key quotes:
this rapidly led to it becoming viral in early February 2013
It was released as his debut single on May 22, 2012
a dance introduced in 1981

So, the background information is basically that the Harlem Shake is a dance adapted from an Ethiopian dance, that became kind popular in the '80s, but not that big of a deal. Later, a track was produced with the same name that brought those two words into popular culture by the power of memes. The dance involved in the meme also was called the Harlem Shake.
Okay, onto Nintendo relevance.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trials_and_Tribulations
http://aceattorney.wikia.com/wiki/Turnabout_Memories
Release date(s)    January 23, 2004
Trial Date    Apr. 11, 2013
So, as a thing that most people should know about Ace Attorney, every game is set in the future. This game was made about ten years before it was set. Now then...

You might want to clarify that you meant it was SET in 2013. I thought those were two different games and was slightly confused on why you were talking about an irrelevant game :V

Clearly Capcom can see the future. Which means Resident Evil happened in 1998 in Raccoon, KY and Mega Man will or has already occurred in 20XX.

Maybe it's a fiscal year, ending in April or somesuch?

All my Photobucket images just broke for some reason.
I hope this is a temporary thing. :-\

This morning I was awoken by that damn water pipe, and once again, in my post-waking stupor I thought it was the Apocalypse. But this time it wasn't the regular Christian-based apocalypse, but caused by some (literal) dinosaur deity, who it turned out was the only real god this whole time, and had just come back to devour humanity.

I think my post dream brain just came up with the coolest thing ever.

Hell no! It once convinced me my favourite letsplayer had bought a spaceship and was preparing to orbitally bombard the earth. I ran and hid in my bathroom.
