It's not that she's younger than me that gets me ... just the fact she so totally destroys me at DS rhythm games (ie, Ouendan she's pretty much full 300'd or whatever. I can barely get through some of them. My timing with that just seems WAY the fuck off). The age thing is irrelevant really.

FE DS - Mechanics / ANGER
[spoiler]WHO THOUGHT PURPOSEFULLY KILLING OFF CHARACTERS FOR RECRUITING WAS A GOOD IDEA?

Oh well, Jeigan finally has a fucking use I guess.[/spoiler]

Edit: 3 Weeks. I hate waiting. Tagging to avoid clutter (ToV intros):

I actually quite LIKE the English intro, but that's probably due to Bonnie Pink having a pretty voice and not fucking up English words. Still, ToD2 intro was my favorite probably.[/spoiler]

If not for it being region locked, I'd have imported this already. Bah! Then again, if not for region locked games, there's a chance I'd have imported idolm@ster and felt myself die on the inside just a little.

...a little.

* Puyo Puyo 15th Anniversary (got it working for my PSP this time )

^ has full voiceovers during pre-match dialogues, while the DS version only has voice samples for character selection, when making a chain, etc.
I also assume that the Wii and PS2 versions act similar to the PSP version.

I beat Mizuiro Blood. It's a really short game, but really good. Not going for higher minigame rankings just yet, but I probably will soon.

I also completed 180 songs in Meccha! Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Nanatsu no Shima no Daibouken (the remaining 20 are all the hardest oni songs, so I'm a bit stuck now.) I also completed the story mode on karakuchi, so I finally got the samurai armor to match the samurai helmet I've had for awhile. My little taiko drum looks badass now.

I also got a used copy of Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town. I thought it was the first one, but I guess I was wrong. Now I'm stuck playing as a girl. Doh. It's still dope, though. I sort of started it, but I keep starting over because I can't think of a name that I'm happy with. Feel free to offer suggestions.

On a side note, the cancel sound is so wrong. It sounds like someone kicking a dog.

Just beat the original Puyo Puyo - Sega MegaDrive (Genesis)
Satan is a bitch, but got him on the 2nd try, a new record! XD

Rocket Knight Adventures - Genesis
(this one I actually own the cartridge of XD)

Playing Rune Factory again, and I FINALLY accumulated enough lumber to get a big house. >_<;; It took so long....

[scy]

Finally started playing MGS4 ... or should that be watching? Barring my habit of, "OH GOD ALERT restart," I'd say I've spent 75% of my time in cutscenes. Beautiful cutscenes but cutscenes none-the-less. Still, the moments I have been running around doing stuff have been pretty awesome though I do think aiming for 0 Rations, 0 Alerts, 0 Deaths, 0 Kills on a first run is a bit silly ... >>.

[Akarshi]

MGS4? WANT!

Anyways, I married Bianca. Woot. Delicious, sweet cake every day.

It's pretty awesome, fairly fast paced, and, if you're not an idiot like me and doing absurd runs already, not that difficult. There's so far been waaay too many ways to deal with the situations (ie, there's like 3-5 routes I can think of for the Middle East intro section that don't involve a single shot fired). Plus, it looks amazing (jesus christ his mustache is superb. SUPERB I TELL YOU).

That said, Code Geass R2 has been taking up my time as I've been berated over and over for not watching it yet so ... It's also making me very sad as the first few episodes have a lot of school moments.

[spoiler]I somewhat didn't like Shirley at first until around Episode 10 ... and then the Mao arc happened with her and then MEMORY WIPE and I was sad panda so all the attention she gets now, especially the fact she fell in love with Lelouch AGAIN, is pretty disheartening. Even Lelouch gets depressed on this!

Also, Rolo gives me the creeps, the ending song makes me unable to not see strange Suzaku x Lelouch images, and god tell me the name of the loli Knight already as I care not for everyone else.[/spoiler]

Edit: Only relevant to those who keep up with the Denis Dyack (Too Human) dramaz:

[spoiler]

For those who DON'T know him, he pretty much shit on everyone at GAF for thinking Too Human was going to be bad despite the fact it's been in development for 9 (10?) fucking years and he claimed it would be superior to Eternal Darkness, his last really good game (~92 Metacritic score). When called out on this by a GAF mod ($2000 to Dyack's charity of choice if he's right) he backed down and claimed LAIR (~55 score) would be "more" fair. Huh, nice faith there.

The FOR or AGAINST in there is in regards to a topic made by Dyack asking for GAF to be split in two (well, three) sides: those FOR Too Human and those AGAINST (and then those who don't give a shit). Those FOR will get a neat "OWNED BY GAF" if TH fails and those AGAINST get a "OWNED BY TOO HUMAN" if it succeeds. That's the basic gist of it ... but

Oh, the 6.75 would be the first review of the game by Game Informer ... who is pretty well known for inflating scores of shitty games (that is, they're on the 1-10 scale but rarely step out of the 7-10).

Oh yeah, there's also the Unreal 3.0 shenangians from awhile back. Yeah, he's THAT guy.

And one more, . Sure, it's a bit rough at GAF but it is the place for gaming inf0z ... there's people to shit on any Game ever made. Ever. To get whiny and emotional over it, threatening to SUE, because people don't like your game ... is ridiculous.

I forget if you need an account to lurk at GAF. You might. If so, oops sorry!

tl;dr version: Developer of game in development for fucking ages claims Game will be awesome on GAF. GAF is skeptical, he calls them stupid and unable to "get it." Game now reviews poorly, we laugh.[/spoiler]

Edit2: Boredom sets in!

Japanese boxart (oh god so image heavy):
[spoiler]The 360 ... slowly replacing the PS2 for Visual Novels. What the fuck.


Or maybe the DS is...


Both Order of Ecclesia boxes are totally awesome.


...huh...


Can't be worse than the 360 Spectral Force ... can it...?


NEVER COMING TO AMERICA.


SEE ABOVE.


ABOVE. AGAIN.


I have nothing to comment on this.


The sheer awesomeness of this is beyond words.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Scy... go on without me... I... don't think I can make it.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

^ Another game I would kill to have, but, again, will probably NEVER find its way to my hands in a form I could understand and comprehend.
