  • I like the large environments (having decent fast travel options helps a lot), but you're right on about the party diversity and how awful the sidequests are.  Those quests are WAY too specific and annoying, especially since NPCs are only active at …
  • Talk Like a Pirate Day was ages ago, but I'll post my favorite pirate joke ever here anyhow.  Apologies in advance if it's already here somewhere.    What's a pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet?    You'd think it'd be R, but 'tis the C. 
  • I was surprised at first; the manga was pretty successful overall and has its anime going into a third season.  I figured it would go the Eyeshield 21 route and unite the best players from the whole series into a U17 team and compete against a team …
  • Playing XenoBlade Chronicles for the past few months.  It's like the MonolithSoft folks played Dragon Age, World of Warcraft, Monster Hunter, and Final Fantasy XII for a whole year, then made their own RPG about a candy-colored struggle between man …
  • Well, one of my favorite SJ series ended its run last month, but at least it's getting a sequel before the end of the year! - http://www.fandompost.com/2014/10/09/kurokos-basketball-manga-sequel-launch-scheduled/   It's in Jump Next, so it'll prob…
  • I'm a little surprised that I seem to be the only God of War fan here, but whatever.  I won't raise a stink about it.  I think that the five I've played are really entertaining character action games, with the possible exception of Ghost of Sparta. …
  • So... the Base is different from the Headquarters?  And there is a rando Forest in between the Slums and the Secret Lab.  H'okay. 
  • Man, I really liked Guacamelee! but the final few challenges (which are required if you want to get the best ending) are BALLS HARD.  So I beat the final boss, but never got the good ending.  Too bad.    Currently wrapping up season 1 of Telltale'…
  • Slightly bummed out.  One of my current favorite shounen manga just ended its run of 230+ chapters (Beelzebub), but with a spinoff manga coming in May (WOO!).  Still, the setup for the final battle was rushed and I was really enjoying Beelzebub for …
  • Rayman Origins is pretty hard, guys.  It makes me never want to go scuba diving, ever.    (main quest is challenging, but with reasonable difficulty scaling and a forgiving checkpoint system.  The final few Treasure Chest Chase stages are INCREDIC…
  • Beat Pictimos in Ys Origin.  His patterns weren't *that* challenging, but his high damage and annoying revives were problematic for the first few runs.  It took me three or four times to get him, and I grinded for one level-up after my first loss). …
  • Achievements used to get on my nerves, but I guess I gave up and learned to love the proverbial bomb.  When I play a game that has trophies or achievements, I'll always look at the list and make judgement calls.  "That one looks doable so I may as w…
  • You think THIS is a dying forum?  Man, let me tell you about where I come from... (GMH knows). 
  • Kuroko's manga is pretty good - probably the second-best basketball manga out there, obviously behind Slam Dunk but right there with Real and Ahiru no Sora.  It gets a little too silly sometimes, though, with 6'10" Japanese teenagers doing two-hande…
  • Ys I and II Chronicles are great as history lessons and soundtrack listenings, but man is the bump system boring.  It's basically a test of "is your level and equipment good enough" rather than anything resembling strategy or dexterity.  The boss ba…
  • Purse-owner 5!    ...OK, so it's just cryptic shots of chairs and chains.  But then again, the first teasers for Persona 3 were teenagers shooting themselves in the head.  And the first teasers for Persona 4 were empty couches and TV static.  I'm…
  • TL2 is incredible.  I wish Diablo Tres was more like it.  Hell, TL2 could ditch the Embermage and I'd still love it.    Favorite build: Outlander with 5/15 in Glaive Throw, maxed Cursed Daggers and maxed Stone Pact.  Use Shield+Wand or possibly Sh…
  • The Republicans in the VA House of Delegates are already introducing new laws to try and curb votes from Deomcrats: http://www.wtop.com/120/3501230/Provisional-ballot-voters-face-obstacles   This entire election was totally bananas.  It won't be s…
  • Metroid Prime is pretty good. 
  • I didn't mind the 4th-monster item whores in Rain-Slick 4.  Vendorr was a fucking beast.    ...I ought to replay that game on Hard.  It seemed a little too easy on Normal and I'm pretty sure I missed at least one optional monster. I got the sushi …
  • Okay, my enthusiasm for Disgaea D2 has waned somewhat.  It's full of jokes and it's nice to see the original trio return, but this is probably the least-interesting Disgaea game in terms of plot.  The new characters and scenarios are on the weak sid…
  • Disgaea D2 does NOT rewrite the book on Disgaea at all.  Not even a little bit.  But it's a little more forgiving than Disgaea 3 or 4 and HILARIOUS.  Maybe funniest game in the entire series.  I'm only one episode in and I'm fucking DYING. 
  • http://gematsu.com/2013/09/atlus-opens-november-24-teaser-site   That better be a fucking Persona 5 announcement, or I will cut a guy.  Probably my roommate.  He looks like a bleeder. 
  • Sesame Street Fighter  
  • ...shouldn't you say "I don't like gay weddings" then?  I never say "I'm going to a marriage next weekend."
  • Sorta got pushed into asking a girl out earlier this week.  Basically we were set up by mutual friends and I have no idea exactly how much of it is genuine interest or how much is our friends pushing her into it.  Whatever - I'll pay for dinner and …
  • Let it be known that once Zeboyd Games' KickStarter page for Cosmic Star Heroine launches, I will pimp the bejeezus out of it.
