tLR isn't a bad game by any means. The problem stems from it being shoddily coded. It runs pretty terribly on the 360 (pop-in, unstable frame rate, semi-long load times if not installed to 360 HDD). The PC version should fix that (my PC runs it maxed out at a stable ~70 FPS so ... hurray!). That sai...

Actually, I'd definitely get Analysis. It's bonus damage on anything weak to an element. I'd definitely get it over boosting the Fire/Ice/Volt Ups. Sorry if I was misleading on that skill; I just totally blanked out and forgot about it in my initial build design. Personally, I find it best to just s...

...huh, I did forget Analysis in that build. Guess that's why it didn't seem too troubled at fitting things. I'm dumb. Ronin: [spoiler]HP Up 10 STR Up 10 TP Up 6 Clarity 5 Overhead 7 Seigen 7 Iai 1 Orochi 5 Kienzan 5 Raizuki 5 Minakata 5 Kubiuchi 5 Doesn't seem too bad, though I would seriously drop...

If you don't use Ricochet then you come down to the argument of which is better: Gunner wins out in Physical Damage and has cheaper Elemental shots whilst Alchemist has better Elemental Damage at the expense of TP. I haven't tested it in awhile but I do believe the Shots are a little inferior to Fir...

Edit: This post got SO much larger than I expected... The amount of hate my party gets is unbelievable. And the amount of "OMG BEST PARTY EVER." What did I create T.T (or steal from JPN without realizing? Who knows; just know that I was the first to use it on GameFAQs and subsequently beat...

afk, wb (to be honest, I've rarely seen w/b) and the like have existed since people used the interwebz to talk to each other. Hard to say if this predates AOL though since AOL was around since like ... '89 (for Macs at least; '93 for Windows 3.1 I think?). Play any game online (FPS, MMO, RTS, whatev...

SOIV and Sonic getting the same score is criminal

Playing nothing (well, Street Fighter IV T.T) until SOIV comes out ... two days! OH BOY.

1-10) Changes all the time. I hate nostalgia. Etc. etc. etc.

To be fair, warmongering is the easiest route to victory. Doesn't mean you can't get a Cultural or AP* win. Or, hell, Space Race. Just need enough units to make you not an easy target (or good relations) and maybe early warring (i.e., Axerush!) to get a good footing. *AP win is so lame and easy that...

Civ is, to me, all about the micro managing of individual cities (at the difficulty levels that matter!) and of other nation relations/techs. Gunpowder time is about when my games end (don't get much farther than Grenadier-era units, for instance) usually. In other news, wasting way too much time + ...
