I'll go back in time and tell myself to make my account in November instead. Then I can be your favorite November user.
Breath of Fire IV is an enjoyable game if you can get into it. It has a unique aesthetic compared to the other BoF games and at its best is pretty engrossing, although it's not anywhere near as good as III, or II.
can't say every PSG episode has been gold, either.
That's because it's been kind of an awful show until episode 6.
Love HBO original programming.
I was concerned over whether it directly bridges over to the next in line of the series, like a cliffhanger
The way people go on about R.R. Martin's awful pacing I figured it may have been something like that.
I may as well watch it
Most people are worried because of Martin's age.
That and the fact that he apparently doesn't take notes, so if he dies of fatness, the novels are fucked.
I will probably never watch Game of Thrones or read Martin's book series, unless he miraculously finishes it sometime. At least, a trustworthy friend recommended this to me. I'm still kind of leaning on checking out the HBO series if anything, but I may as well also read the novel at that point.
Tough decisions??
Tony Hawk 3 is the best legitimately good game that makes you feel like a douchebag for saying you played it.
Layton is by far better, if you want to compare them.
It's really superb as an overall package.
! I mean nothing ill directed at people who enjoy Gyakuten Saiban, but here are some complaints of mine if you want a second opinion on the franchise. Gyakusai is wildly inconsistent with its wacky flip-flopping on enjoyable-to-bad cases, there have been some character-ruining/laughable developments (Godot is just unlikable and poorly thought out by the end of Gyakusai 3), and its general sketchiness in its gameplay anyways- while minor- basically adds up to a kind of mediocre series to me. This is also a personal thing, but I dislike how its fandom is more attracted to gimmicks in general than actual good characters. Nobody really cares that Godot is kind of a mess of bad developments, but rather that he has a "toaster face" and drinks lots of coffee.
! I'm heavily biased because I spent a few years in the Gyakusai fan community and it ruined any enjoyment I ever got out of the series ever again.
I'd rather go on about how good Layton is. Layton is good!
I forgot to mention episode 6 is the first episode that I feel is actually good. At all.
It was enjoyable to see the show actually do something with its potential.
The reason I like the idea of an arcade stick is that it provides a more grounded, weighted base for a joystick, one larger to accommodate a full hand, which makes it easier to play on the right side of the screen facing left.
I occasionally find it harder to do some motions when second player, with my left thumb. But regardless I still do not own an arcade stick, nor do I really plan on getting one anytime soon, for they are costly investments for one who does not necessarily have the money to spend.
Today has been a rather lackluster day. I find myself an increasingly sensitive and empathetic person, pathetically so, and I seem to be getting into small ruts over this.
I played some piano, but I couldn't really find myself leaning towards actually doing anything, which made today feel like a rather large waste of time.
@Master:
I doubt it. The Puritans and overprotective parents who run this country will probably do everything they can to stop it if they ever found out.
United States' citizens tend to overthink "parental reactions", or this idea that the stereotypical soccer mom and puritan values are incredibly commonplace things. Regardless of what 90s media may have you believe, they are a small minority that isn't terribly vocal at all. When they are vocal, it does not always go their way.
Classic sitcom series Married… With Children had its life saved when a sole woman took to campaigning against the show and calling it filth that did not belong on the air.
If anything, it's more likely that someone would think it would be offensive, without actually feeling so themselves. As in, people make up these puritan soccer moms in their head far more often than they actually exist.
My point is that wacky sensitive values do not run the media, especially not anymore, and if anybody felt that Panty & Stocking was a marketable show, it would indeed have absolutely no problem airing uncut on a station such as Comedy Central. It all comes down to marketing.
I don't find meta-references, self-awarenes, and a simply cavalier attitude to be automatic laughs and some writers stick him on cruise control with it, so Deadpool can fall into the trap of being derivative in his appearances. He is at his strongest when he's given quality writing to go with it, so I feel it's quite difficult to portray him very well. This is honestly very valid reasoning for just not caring about him and why I don't. I'm not reprimanding your humor, though, if you feel otherwise. A lot of comedy can be found in the simple act of breaking conventions and boundaries.
Topically, though, MvC3 is actually the first time in a while I've seen him and gone "oh, that's kind of silly, I like that," which I don't often do.
Still, I've never realized Deadpool is a sacred cow to people, to the extent that just personally saying "I don't tend to care about him" can set people off. If you honestly think he is in every way, shape, and form a flawless paragon of comedy, I'm not holding it against you.
So I would prefer you don't hold it against me, for I've said nothing with any intent to offend. Deadpool as a whole was brought up and I threw out how I feel, as simply as that. I care not for some territorial "opinion war" over a comic book character and neither should you.
It was just expletive gibberish I stuck into google translate.
To be honest, I think Deadpool is a really lazily written 'comedy' character and I think he got old exceptionally fast.
That is to say, Hunchback was also awkward as fuck, because in-between things like Hellfire they had juvenile and out of place gargoyle antics, a similar problem with Hercules's muses. I'd attribute it more to the 90s if anything.
I'm actually looking forward to Mort to see how it goes. I feel optimistic.
Disney did make the hunchback of notre dame.
This isn't exactly great strides from that.

I started playing Devil Survivor but stopped for some reason, I need to continue that.
I'm very iffy on Devil Survivor. When I was enjoying it, it felt exceptional, but other times I was feeling lackluster on it. I'm just not sure if I actually really liked it a lot, or not at all.
Persona 3 and Persona 4 are very different from Persona 2:IS and EP, so it's a bit of a silly argument to begin with.
I'm personally more fond of Persona 2: Innocent Sin than I am either of the contemporary Persona entries.
I'd say Persona 2: IS is the best, followed by Persona 4 and Persona 2: EP, which are about equal. Persona 3 after that and the original Persona is actually just a flat out mediocre game.
I've been a long-time Megami Tensei fan. Exceptional franchise.
I own a physical collection of every entry in the series, although I am missing a few PC ports of the earliest entries, I do own the Virtual Boy title Jack Bros., which makes up for it.
As I've said, Atlus makes a lot of really amazing and creative RPGs besides Persona.
Though I'll probably be tarred and feathered for this, I would recommend Persona 4 over 3. But 3 is still very good.
But that's just my personal preference.
No, everybody likes (or should like) Persona 4 more. It's just better in every way. It's infeasible to enjoy Persona 3 more.
12 is a lot of fun in the gameplay department. It's just a very dry, boring world, with characters nobody cares about and a bad narrative.
If you treat it as a "dungeon-crawler" it improves a whole lot more. Too bad skipping every cutscene still creates dissonance, even if you don't care about its story. I tried replaying it after I stopped years ago halfway and just couldn't ass myself.
FFV, VI, VII, and IX were the only FF games I really cared much about, though.
I stopped playing HeartGold around the Kimono girls. HeartGold was the first Pokemon game where I really "got" Pokemon and actually bothered to make a team and not just storm through with the one starter.
However, I did rather poorly overall and by the time I got to Kimono girls, I was a few levels under-leveled and I didn't have the proper types to beat Espeon. I just gave up and I'll play when Black rolls around.
Fun while it lasted, though.
You're replaying FFVII? I am too.
I planned to go through and accomplish everything I had never done before, or seen. I'm just after Costa de Sol.
I buddy listed taboo before I realized it wasn't similar to NPC's friend list and then I just ignored it.
I guess I'm a one buddy person
I've never actually heard of anybody using a forum's ignore list before, to be honest.
She drew so many people smoking cigarettes that she developed cancer from second-hand smoke.
Oh Deej you're such a fighting game nerd~
It's not that good. The series that is.
It rode the Cloud/Sephiroth 'Who am I? What is my purpose? Do I belong?' wave of popularity and got far more attention than it deserved.
Is this a joke
Who the fuck played Parasite Eve because it reminded them of CLOUD STRIFE
You guys realize this is a five-minute, five dollar time waster to get TF2 items right
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that what made acid semen an interesting dream to me was that my dreams are usually incredibly heavy on dialogue and character interaction. They're most akin to serial dramas, except a bit more nonsensical when interpreted outside of a dream environment.
So having a dream where there aren't 40 characters talking about dramatic developments and mysteries was new to me.
I wouldn't say I Am A Hero is incredible, or the epitome of my tastes or anything, but it is basically a lot of things I really look for and enjoy in manga and what makes the seinen demographic so appealing to begin with.
I was enjoying it from the getgo, but its "crazy" twist you mentioned basically ensnared it on my interests for at least a good while just to see where everything winds up.
Most impressive was the horror angle is actually pretty well done.
I was dying when he was just throwing out constant jabs hoping the guy would dash into them, or that it would prevent him from getting near. Supa competitivu
I think some mirror matches are just doomed to look as boring and stupid as possible though, especially in a 'competitive' environment. Balrog is one of them.
Although when the second Balrog whiffed on the super and the first balrog survived it and then fucking knocks his skull in, I grinned pretty hard.
I think the worst match I ever saw though had to have been a Zangief match against a Blanka player. For god's sakes, the entire thing was just "I think my opponent is going to be doing this so I won't be doing that" and it resulted in both sides just slowly, slowly chipping at the other. I think the entire thing was normals until the Blanka just said "fuck it" and launched himself at Zangief, resulting in a hysterically easy victory. Say what you will about what's going through their heads and that it may be "smart", but holy fuck.
I think some people just overthink Street Fighter to dumb levels.
I had a dream last night where my ejaculate smelled strongly of battery acid. The texture of it was incredibly starchy and I kept smelling it. At one point I rubbed it across my palms and it started stinging, so I tried washing it off. It sort of worked, but residue was still stuck. I may have also licked it, but I mostly spent my time observing it.
And there was a constant squeak in the background throughout, like ungreased gears. If you've heard bad mouse-wheels spin, it was just that. Because when I woke up it turned out to have just been a bad mouse-wheel squeaking. I can confirm my semen was not actually battery acid, however.
The only thing I dont like about Vinland Saga is the author's stange sense of puttling love in most important scenes.. and his idea of love seems kind of off.
I really couldnt understand Prince's transformation at all, I thought it was rather comical really…
well although his last work also had this problem it was fine as it was fitting.. but for Vinland Saga I really dont know about this love lol
Man, are you kidding
Those sequences were the absolute best
Also I have to comment and say I've been adoring everything past the prologue just as much as I was loving it. Everything just feels fucking perfect.
Metroids, Pinball, Mario? Someone explain to me what do any of these have to do with Sonic running past a stage.
They're all things more fun to play.
Jerk Disease, what's your opinion on "Zeitgeist"?
I think I can speak for everyone when I say:
it stinks
If by remarkably faithful you mean an incredibly clean and simple art turned into rough and "realistic" textures, then…. I'm not sure what you mean.
Doing a Tin-Tin film with that exact same comic style reproduced in 2D animation may have been derivative, but this CG art doesn't look very good at all.
Sonic Spinball is the only Sonic game I really like, I think I've mentioned this before.
So suddenly remembering that Metroid Pinbal exists enticed me to check out how much it is. 6 bucks.
Fuck yes. I must get this.
Why? This one character really doesn't mean shit. I doubt she's gonna be some sort of bitch you gotta escort around or something. She will be in the game less than Roll, LESS THAN ROLL!
I… love Roll, actually.
I just really think Komaki's design doesn't really feel inspired or interesting at all, especially when compared to both of the actual winning options in the west and Japan. Komaki's design was really just... kind of a mishmash of his usual thing. He's an artist who doesn't have much of a range. Everything I've seen of his sort of works in patterns.
Especially when Suitsugu's design was full of character and already looked like a Legends design, whereas most of the others would/will have to be tweaked. I assume a lot of people gravitated towards it because it just seemed like a natural fit.
I would've felt better about Komaki's design if we hadn't been given the choice to vote, but even then I wouldn't have liked it that much. I'd have just said what I guess I have to now: "I'll get used to it in-game."
This kind of thing always happens when fans are given options. It makes them more involved, but it disappoints everyone across the board (the people who 'lost') until we just get used to it in the final product.
A long-time friendship of mine was ended in the creepiest, saddest, probably most pathetic way imaginable, with him ranting on about how he was okay ruining all of his friendships because I was the only one he needed. He started going on about this bizarre "friends forever" kind of spiel. It started getting obsessive, stalker-esque, and … really I have no idea how to describe it other than creepy. I was so repulsed I fucking cut it off immediately, said he was going crazy, he told me to "grow up", so I fucking ended him. What makes it sad was he had slowly been alienating everybody around him by being a hateful, spiteful person and just sort of demanding everyone be sympathetic to him. He just became this bizarre, sad kind of NEET.
Then taboo and I ended up laughing about it and that was all I really did today. The rest was just blankly thinking about how weird the whole thing was. But then I realized with him gone, everything is kind of nicer. I still feel bad that he's in this really awkward, lonely position when all he was trying to do was prove he was a "good friend", but man.
What a weird ass day.
@JERK:
I don't know why I didn't post this earlier, because it's one of the most important things you can ever watch (or read) regarding history and anthropology.
You've probably heard of it.
Guns Germs and Steel
It's a book in the first place, but a three part documentary version was made, and it was done by the author himself (so you know it's faithful).
This thing is fucking eye opening.

This documentary is pretty awesome. I got about 15 minutes in before I decided I wanted to watch this on my couch/TV and not the PC. It's hard for me to watch things on the PC, for some reason, for too long.
So I looked it up to see if it was on Netflix
Excellent.
