He gained Esau's blessing by deception. At the very least, that was grifting. Esau's birthright meanwhile was gained via extortion.

No dude, it still doesn't count unless he literally climbed his ladder into heaven and stole God's ash tray.

He stole God's divine blessing and in the process made his own bloodline into that which was to be safeguarded by God as His people.

Nope, not buying it. Face it, judaism just doesn't glorify outright theft the way Greek myth does.

Given that this is the start of the hostility between the Israelites and Edomites, who are now the modern day Israelis and Arabs, I think it's fair to say that Jacob definitely qualifies as a grifter. Perhaps not an ultimate thief, but a grifter nonetheless.

God gave Jacob's mother a vision that Jacob would rule, she never tells her husband about the vision, she tells Jacob to trick his father Isaac into giving him the blessing, and you all know the rest.
Oh and Jacob got into a wrestling match with someone who was a either an angel sent to test Jacob, or God himself. Jacob almost won until the dude touched his thigh causing that leg to go bum.

Is it a bad thing that the only thief-like character in the bible I can think of at the moment is David?
Also, as a Southern African Persona fan, I'm both hyped and in complete and utter despair, it's gonna take forever for it to be released in the markets down here, if ever, will you believe me if I told you guys that the only people I know of who know Persona were either introduced to it by me or went overseas, usually South Eastern Asia? Still, I'm just far too fucking hyped for it to matter much, 'cause all of this is just way too stylish and reminds me a lot of my favourite JJBA Arc so far, Battle Tendency and it's theme Bloody Stream.
Can I be a little selfish and ask in advance that whoever gets it first does a blind Let's Play on SV? It'd mean a lot to me to share in that "just bought this on the release date" feeling.

I am a Brazillian Persona fan and I feel much the same, due to stupid laws about taxing merchandise from outside the national market any console here costs a ridiculous amount, and I am not likely to buy a PS4 or a PS3 any time soon because of that.
And count me in as another person who would enjoy someone doing that.
Atlus has a history of fucking over everywhere that isn't NA or Japan. I definitely know the feeling.
Is a physical copy of SMT 4 so much to ask? It doesn't seem like the best SMT game, and the redesigns and DLC are not my cup of tea, but still.
Know what you mean, brand new, just released on the market consoles here can cost between $600 - $1,000 depending on the store and its popularity. Games start at $60 and can go up to $100 when released, it usually takes about 8 - 12 months for the price to drop to half and then depending on the store, sometimes games can go right down to between $10 and $21, but that's for PC Games, Console games are often more expensive.
*frowns*
I haven't done much reading on this now that I think about it, how does this compare with the rest of the world? Keep in mind that these are prices for products that are put on the market from between 4 - 10 months after they are released and it's not a simultaneous world-wide release.
I honestly wish it was just Atlus, at least that way I can have a plan made for their games whenever they're put on the market. We get our games filtered down through Europe if I remember correctly, and sometimes certain Titles just aren't bothered with until months later when the cash I saved up for them is no longer available. It's not just SMT, but more than likely the stores I buy from as well, small market means narrow range of games.
A new PS4 in Belgium, where I live, is 400 euros. That comes down to $451. Same for Xbone. A Wii U is 299 euros, $340 rounded.
Games, meanwhile, are 70 euros new for the PS4. Which is $80, give or take a few dollars. That's brand new, though, and usually with accesories included. 3DS games are around 40 euros ($45) for normal games. 30 - 35 for worse games, usually. There's also second hand, however, which vary much more in price. These prices are from a specialized gaming store, though other electronics stores are sometimes cheaper, sometimes not.

At which point the angel or God asked what his name was.

Mind you, ever since then they have been cut to between 1,500-2,000 Reais, but I was still very scared when I first heard those news.

unless you have supertaxes couldn't you just import the game from a different region that speaks the same language? After all the PS4 isn't region locked so you can do that.
also Persona 5's soundtrack will have acid jazz influences

I'd love to actually, but ya know, difficulties in recording things.
Before then, I might actually do an LP of Persona 3 FES or 4, though it won't be blind especially in the case of 4; I have the equipment to record either of those, I've just never done it.

personally my PS2 has failed, been replaced, and failed again; and I've gone through nearly a dozen controllers. So I'm not likely to ever see these games
edit:I could probably emulate these, even on my laptop, but The House that Humble Bundle Built is backed up for a good year or two already
I'd likely watch the shit out of it, provided the Audio/Video quality was at least passable

I need to go and get a better mic at least, the one I've got is one of the shitty little stand mics that sit on your desk from like, 1998.
Unless people would rather see a screenshot LP, which I don't really know how to do.

And you can export this, how?
Also if I wanted to do that I'd have to buy a new controller, my Dualshock 3 has a problem staying connected to the system, so I use a Dualshock 4 and just reset the console when I want to use the front end.

you can store the pictures on a usb drive, or just drag them on your PC through your network.

Neat. I dunno though I don't really like the idea.
