Familiarity may breed contempt, but even factoring its ubiquity in the back half of the year, the amount of vitriol that's been hurled at "Royals" has been remarkable. Much of that bad feeling no doubt comes by the accusation that the song's "anti-hip-hop," stemming from a misreading of the lyrics so flagrant that it seems almost deliberate. Behind signifiers like Cristal and gold teeth (which haven't been specific to hip-hop for a while now, as anyone familiar with Ke$ha and Katy Perry is well aware), it's a song about a bunch of broke kids in the middle of nowhere who think they have it all figured out and resent society pressuring them to conform their desires to someone else's priorities— in other words, pretty much the same story as every piece of art about teenagers that's ever been created. There’s also the fact that it’s actually a decent rap song, at least as judged by the definition of rap songs that pop-minded artists like Drake (an acknowledged influence on all of Lorde’s Pure Heroine) have been radically expanding. Whatever the song is and what it’s about, it’s a radically strange and aesthetically daring composition to have spent so much of the year atop the Hot 100. —Miles Raymer
And as I've heard, Namco High was designed more for Namco's smaller, forgotten characters. Putting in more, say, Tekken characters would have nullified that point.
And Namco doesn't have anything that can compete with Homestuck on sheer levels of internet popularity.

Mistakes people make: Square did not buy Enix. Square were financially ruined after they made The Spirits Within. (Which almost scuppered the merger, incidentally.)
Well I say that today we will play in the grey fields of hey while the clay monsters bray at the fey by the bay where we may run away from the fading sun's ray cause no way will we stay and let the day end-not 'Kay!
Fight the night, and light the dawn alight! This twilight's not a fright cause it's gonna all be alright.
The day won't end, won't end my friend; cause we've still so much to do all through the new world with you in the dreams teeming with screamings that aren't what they're seeming.

nwor-das
that sounds like a name that of the blue skinned dudes from Avatar would have
It is not quite as strong as the lotus flower, but it does have a similar effect on people.

You know it might get lost given the constant re-runs, but man that's a good movie.
The father is pretty great, and it has some of the most non-intrusive kid acting I've ever seen.
