Amazon is (still) offering 1 year of free Amazon Prime if you're a College student. Free two-day shipping is awesome (and $3 one-day). Edit: Word on the street is there's some European street day breaks for Pokemon Black/White (though seems limited to Spain area). Also, Costco broke street date for ...

in b4 different boxart They .... they posted the box art. It's the same. http://i.imgur.com/xqhVT.jpg Mind you, it could still change but, for the time being, it's the JP box art. Incidentally, this game will either flop ("lolz puzzle game") or raepfaces ("omgfap").

And has better raw damage too ... though that's irrelevant if it's killing things off, I suppose >>

Erm, the first attack done (always, every single time) is the only thing really capable of killing you. Everything else is pretty trivial assuming full HP. Mid-20s should be fine and 30+ should kill him before turn 4 even comes around. Personally, he's the easiest boss in the game due to the ridicul...

20% base, 40% with high enough LUC and TEC. That's pre-resistance. Factoring in Swashbuckling makes me hate my life but it's not as good as you think since it doesn't just add (seriously, 4 tries of 20% isn't 80% why does everyone think that's how it works). Comes out to a 59% for at least one succe...

If you want "Umineko-like" mysteries than go after Knox or Dine's novels. There's good reason Ryukishi used them as a basis (and, for that matter, why there's even a mystery "ruleset" involving them). Their works are far closer to the "the reader solves it alongside the dete...

Don't get me wrong, I quite like the whole "map fills up as you go" kind of deal and the exploring and all that. I just hate the tedium of drawing the walls, painting tiles that don't get crossed, and so-on. Replaying the game for challenge files is a herculean task of sorts when I realize...

Off-hand, you had an 11% chance to land it (55% Stun Attack, 20% Resist). The only real perk Stun has going for it is that it doesn't suffer the -30%/application penalty that every other status effect has. Edit: The game uses "Resistance" as a multiplier so 0% is Immunity, 100% is Neutral,...

Generally speaking, they resist them across the board to the point of it not really being worth it. And, for what it's worth, the slotted status effects aren't super effective (6% for the first slot, 3% for each after that) so they're nice to have but I wouldn't base a strategy around them (i.e., us...
