  • Since I'm already too far into Re:CoM to start, should I do a liveblog of Final Mix+?
  • ^^ What games are you playing? And what's the application for?

    ^ That'd be pretty cool.

    As long as I make it shorter than what I had for the Mass Effect 2 one I did the start of and then went "fuck it".

    4-5 pages for the game up to the opening credits. Though, I was transcribing the dialogue as well. So long as I don't do that, I should be fine.

  • ^^ Wow, that's a lot of writing.

    ^ Good luck with that app, and I can understand how those games would be very distracting.
  • Wait no, that's ridiculous,

  • I haven't made a thread in a while. Maybe I will. Also, if any gives a shit, my Video Game Timline Blog should be back and rebooted as of February with a new format.

    Got a wee question for people who are better with computers than me;

    1) How hard will be to get a Windows 98 game to run on a Windows 7 PC?
    2) PC games aren't region locked are they? If I import games from America they should work on my European PC right?

    But you never had any to begin with.

    1) Depends on the game.
    2) Depends on the game. Although it's pretty rare.

    I just bought Septerra Core from Good Old Games.  It's a Win 95/98 game.  Though I think the GOG version has been patched to work up to Vista.  (The GamersGate version is original though.  Part of the reason why I paid 49 cents more for the GOG version.)
  • Thanks guys. The game I was after is, more or less, on GOG and for cheaper so I might just go with that option.

    Cheers.

    What game were you looking for?
  • I'm now back from Christmas in balmy Yorkshire, where it rained a lot. Me and my parents spent a lot of time stuck at home in front of the TV watching repeats of Agatha Christie adaptations from the 80s. Also something called the Murdock Mysteries which must surely be the only Canadian detective series set in the 19th century ever to make it to British TV.


    I met my nephew, whose current hobbies are drooling, trying to stand up and walk and staring at doors.


    He's eleven months old, by the way. 

  • I think IJBM's one-year anniversary is coming up soon.

    Yep, it's the eight.

    Also, moving sucks.

    I haven't made a thread in a while. Maybe I will. Also, if any gives a
    shit, my Video Game Timline Blog should be back and rebooted as of
    February with a new format.

    Me neither, and it's not like I haven't had things to make threads about. For some reason, nowadays I just post what I'd post here instead.
  • No rainbow star
    I played Skyrim for over 12 hours straight

    I learned during this time that dragons stalk me:

    -One attacks me when I have rescued the battleborn guy for the companions
    -I then become a werewolf via that ritual, slaughter the silverhands in that quest, then go for the greybeards thinking I'm on my way to Windhelm for the first time. On the way a bear chases me while I'm a werewolf (sad, I know). Right when I get away, bam, dragon and no werewolf uses. Had to drop my stuff and kill the fucker. A witch tried to ambush me during this >.>
    -I realize that I am nowhere near Windhelm really late, check the map, go fuck that, and continue, using werewolf mode to travel fast and avoid my crippling overburden. Up on the mountain a dragon attacks me... Then gets murdered by a snow troll. I had dropped a ton of stuff because of the dragon fight so it was then down to running the fuck away. Had to go werewolf later and roar-slash the troll to get my stuff back
    -Finally back in Whiterun, I overburden to sell stuff to the blacksmith... When a dragon attacks Whiterun. Just... Gah, had to drop a ton of crap to help kill it
    -Then as I head out to Riven or whatever thief town is called... A dragon swoops by one of the farms. Thankfully it only wanted to taunt me
    -And I think a dragon attacked me outside of Windhelm when I finally arrived, overburdened. Although this one could be a false memory D:

    Tl;Dr - Dragons like to attack me when I am overburdened, and one made me drop stuff only to then fly away
  • Bandai Entertainment is officially going to be no longer releasing any new anime or manga after February.

    It kind of sucks that the anime industry in America is doing so shittily... :/

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    I get the impression Funimation's doing okay. If they weren't, they probably would have stopped putting stuff up for free on Youtube.
  • Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    ^^ :/

    I'd have started buying anime/manga if it weren't so damn expensive. Right now, all I've got is the Death Note manga, which was from Christmas anyway.

    Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    ^^Problem is Funimation is pretty much the ONLY company that's still afloat, that's not a good sign for the industry.

    ^Also this. Anime and Manga is pretty expensive, especially for long running series. Which is no wonder why so many people flock to free fansubs and the like.
  • edited 2012-01-02 16:34:26

    ^^^ But Funimation is pretty much the only one that's doing okay.  And even then it's mostly because they own the licenses to FMA and One Piece.

    Other anime licensors (Media Blasters, Sentai Filmworks, etc.) are apparently doing well enough that they haven't gone out of business yet, but they still aren't doing all that great, as far as I know.

    EDIT: Ninjad.

  • OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^^That is true, but I'll take that over there not being any company at all afloat.
  • Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human
    Something tells me that Funimation is going to swoop in and grab Bandai America's licenses, the way they did with ADV.
  • edited 2012-01-02 16:46:28

    Well, Bandai Entertainment isn't actually going out of business or anything.  They're still retaining their licenses (at least until they expire) and will still be making the same products that they have been.  They just won't be releasing anything new.  Though when their licenses do eventually expire, you're probably right.  At least, even if Funimation doesn't it's likely that most of their popular licenses will be picked up eventually by someone.

    Still, I'm a little upset about this.

    It's true that anime is kind of expensive, but really... it's absurdly cheap compared to the Japanese versions (where ~$100 for 3 episodes of a 27 episode series is pretty common) anyway.  Not that that means much I guess.

  • Glen: I was looking for the Ultima Collection, a set that contains Ultima 0-8, but GOG has sets of 1-3, 4-6 and 7.
