doin the Elizabeta/Playboy X/Dwayne set of missions in GTA4,
In week two with Joshua I think day 3 or 4, both these games are so dope.
to all GTA4 haters: stop it, you truly do not know what you are missing out on.

SNES > PSO Chrono Trigger.
Who the fuck cares about Akira Boringyama anyhow?
His art style is incredibly over-rated and beyond easy to mimic. If not better his own style.
Not to mention the cut scenes were pretty dumb. The only cool one was when Chrono got owned.
Any ways:
Playing No More Heroes still. Loving it.
That is all.

Picked up FES and Arcana Heart. I am not feeling Arcana Heart at all. I thought I'd like it too because I've been a hardcore animefag, but something about the game is off. I hate the turtle-slow walking speed, hate how these new-age fighters make me dash all the time. In just one 1p playthrough my hands got tired. It gave me a good controller idea though, I have this urge to convert a regular controller into a keyboard-type, wasd style direction controller. I think something like that would help the game tremendously.

Plus, I'm about to go away for work for 15 months, and my checking account will re-build itself because I won't be spending much money. I can easily afford overpriced SNES games ATM.
That changes things.
The way I saw it, you dropped about $60+ on a game you could get for $20. I couldn't justify that. If you say you'll be facing no problems because of it though, then feel free to buy all the SNES games you want. Make sure you get Earthbound and Turtles in Time!

persona 3 fes update, i gotta tell the world how stupid this game is
akihiko/ken, just equip thor and rush. super easy boss fight. i didn't want to make thor because i used that power ranger lookin guy a lot, and i didn't feel like going through the dessert looking for more personas to fuse, so i fused what i had. but this fight was really easy. i left metis dead for most of the battle because akihiko does megidola if they're both alive.
junpei/koro was pretty easy, but i got kinda lucky. just had surt equiped for most of the battle, and spirit bracers saved me really early because of mudoon (aka waste of extra life). i almost gave up instantly because i had 5 hp on aigis and a dead metis by like the 3rd or 4th turn. anyways, took junpei out and equiped cybele for fire/dark resistance. keep metis in orgia mode and koro kept using stagnant air and mamudoon for some reason.
now i'm on mitsuru/yuka... OMG this fight was incredibly gay. i was using that one persona thats strong vs ice/wind/pierce (but weak vs fire, irrelevant). once again, spirit bracers was wasted early on because yuka starts doing primal force (wtf) and myriad arrows and hardly ever uses magarudyne. mitsuru was owning me with vorpal blade but eventually orgia mode took her out (used like 5 somas, 4 beads of life, and a bunch of bead chains in the process). so i'm left with yukari, take her down to about 2 hit left, then she starts using atk up/down skills. my aigis is sitting on a cool 71 HP, but here's the thing, vorpal blade does about 150 normally, 170 with def down or atk up, 190 with both. i knew that her attack was going to revert so i just used a medicinal powder, which brought my hp to 171...she does vorpal blade as expected, and hits for 179...WTFFFFFFFFFF
update - beat fes, ending was meh but it explained a lot of things. during the final boss, his HP was at 1 hit left and i used a megidolaon gem to make it epic...and it missed :sad: i might run through the journey again sooner or later, but spending over 100 hours to beat 1 game is intense so i might take another break from p3. now i'm gonna continue playing TWEWY and i just downloaded drawn to life. what other good DS games are there? is front mission any good?

Yeah, you see, the reason I asked is because I'm running NeoDS and I'm looking for games to play. I already copped Windjammers, Metal Slug 1-5, and Garou and now I'm filling in the rest of the necessary NeoGeo titles.
I ended up getting SamSho V special and Last Blade 2.

Old purists (such as me) will tell you SS 2. Although I've heard V Special and Tenka aren't too bad, either (haven't played either).
I just got my hands on The Adventures of Batman & Robin for the SNES. As one would expect from a Konami game, it feels and moves like a charm. The stages are well-planned, although one would expect more moves from Batman and less stun spraying. :bluu:
Also, LULZ @ sprite laziness for memory savings. Namely, the thugs that appear as common enemies. They're the same in every stage! So does that mean the same thugs work for the Joker, Penguin, Scarecrow, etc? Is it some kind of criminal agency? :wtf:
And that Batmobile stage is absolutely ridiculous. Crash but ONCE, and you will never complete the stage on time. And it's also the less-detailed stage of them all.... I almost felt like I was playing Spy Hunter. :annoy:
I've heard the Genesis version is better, is that true?

ever since I got my Wii I've been excited for N64 games becoz I never had one and I dont kno how to play them on the computer (the emulator always freezes on me... and I dont have a joypad that could accommodate all the buttons)
so... finally got Paper Mario... and it's BORING!!!
I've played up to the 2nd Star thing u rescue, but overall the game is too easy, too slow, and I dont see the story getting anywhere near as interesting as Super Mario RPG...
so... does anybody have anything to say in favor of this game???
and while you're at it, how about the gamecube version?? I've had that sitting in my backlog since like 2005 when I bought it on sale...
anyway, now I'ma start a new game from my backlog:
Onimusha - Dawn of Dreams

I actually really liked them. But I will whole heartedly agree they're for a very niche crowd. GC version wasn't as good as the 64 one though.
Super Star Saga IMO is the best Mario RPG that has came out. Even though you can break the game with in 5 hours. :X
I prefer SSV Special even to SS2.. and it really pains me to say that. I can't wait to get my mitts on SS Tenka sometime soon.
I've been playing Karoshi 2 (http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=369491) this week, it's free and highly recommended. It's like Karoshi, but every stage is like the infamous 'K' stage.

I'm just venting, pretty much. Walking is still useless altogether, they should have just dropped it and converted it to a dash though. Anything I say will have very little effect as to how fighting game fads will unfold, but I'm just pretty amused that Arcana Heart caught on while like a million other pretty good indy fighters got dropped like brick. I do like that sense of height in that game, I gotta give AH that. X-men children of atom is pretty much only fighter that I can think of that has stages with comparable height.

im playing PORTAL right now, well i completed it almost when i started it cos its very easy but im gonna make a start on those extra stages
Currently playing Disgaea Portable. I had two copies of the original Disgaea for the PS2, but I sold one of them to a friend and the other copy I can't find.

Same. I'm one Week 2/Day 4
Playing it at level one on hard mode = tons of fun. It makes the game way more challenging. You don't get as many spoils (due it taking a lot longer to kill things and time is a big final grade factor) but it's still fun.
I'm loving Joshua too and just the game in general.
I love the fashion/music aspect of it and how it ties in so deeply and well with the game.

I got the most recent poker game for the DS... It's kinda ghetto. When somebody else wins a hand it won't say which one they won with and the other cards barely grey out to show which ones are being played. The cards are blurry too... like you'll sometimes have to look at them multiple times to determine the suits/numbers. Nevertheless, it's still possible to calculate winning probablilities and build a photographic memory in the game. What would make the game 10 times better is if it trained the user to look for player tells. (Actions at the crucial points of the game... the deal, the flop, the turn, and the river)

Damn. It's been forever since I've posted in here.
Anyway, ever since that backloggery thread (which I have to bump yet again), I've been meaning to get around to the many PS RPGs that I've yet to finish. Watching various challenges like this one Youtube all day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMDs4ccdOU8&feature=PlayList&p=0D5D18B6A8AACE80&index=0) has only further spurred me.
Today I've finally started playing FFV again. I'm not sure whether I should try finish a normal game first or with one of the two SCCs that I've started, Blue Mage (just started) and Monk (at Level 11 and, IIRC, having just finished off Siren).
Well, that's not quite true. I only played for like a minute because I was just trying to get my barrings. I think that part of the reason I stopped the Blue Mage SCC was because that asshole Mauldwin keeps casting Aero on Faris, who also gets killed by it and then gets left behind (a very small bit) in EXP. Being the perfectionist I am, I don't want to waste a Phoenix Down on her on top of that, so....
*soft resets*
Anyway, I also plan to continue something else, though it will most likely be KHII since I don't think I could take two turn-based things right now.
Outside of those, I've finally taken a hiatus from Brawl. I'm also playing a freeware game called A Game with a Kitty 2: Darkside Adventures. I feel so damned stupid for being stuck on 4-1 for so long, but then again, I very rarely play computer games.
(Oh, and for that link I posted for those who didn't click it is for a very interesting patch of Final Fantasy Tactics. It looks incredibly tough, like doing a True Calc SSCC.[/nerd])

I remember that it was good.
Wasn't there a Item you get for winning the league with all the teams/players or something?
The only real reasons for blitzball in X was for Wakka's overdrives and final weapon.
I had like 800 hours on my X file and a good 500 was probably blitz. I was addicted to that game.

Damn. It's been forever since I've posted in here.
Anyway, ever since that backloggery thread (which I have to bump yet again), I've been meaning to get around to the many PS RPGs that I've yet to finish. Watching various challenges like this one Youtube all day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMDs4ccdOU8&feature=PlayList&p=0D5D18B6A8AACE80&index=0) has only further spurred me.
Today I've finally started playing FFV again. I'm not sure whether I should try finish a normal game first or with one of the two SCCs that I've started, Blue Mage (just started) and Monk (at Level 11 and, IIRC, having just finished off Siren).
Well, that's not quite true. I only played for like a minute because I was just trying to get my barrings. I think that part of the reason I stopped the Blue Mage SCC was because that asshole Mauldwin keeps casting Aero on Faris, who also gets killed by it and then gets left behind (a very small bit) in EXP. Being the perfectionist I am, I don't want to waste a Phoenix Down on her on top of that, so....
*soft resets*
Anyway, I also plan to continue something else, though it will most likely be KHII since I don't think I could take two turn-based things right now.
Outside of those, I've finally taken a hiatus from Brawl. I'm also playing a freeware game called A Game with a Kitty 2: Darkside Adventures. I feel so damned stupid for being stuck on 4-1 for so long, but then again, I very rarely play computer games.
(Oh, and for that link I posted for those who didn't click it is for a very interesting patch of Final Fantasy Tactics. It looks incredibly tough, like doing a True Calc SSCC.[/nerd])
Dude.
Where do you get the modded version of FFT WOTG?? I really want to try it.
EDIT: NVM, i found it.

Same. I haven't heard anything about it, though. Can anyone feel me in?
Game-wise, I wasn't really at home much all of Wednesday since I had errands to do and then ended seeing the new Indiana Jones at midnight and then pretty much all of Thursday I was either unconscious or at work.
So really all I have to say right now is with regards to my FFV Blue Mage SCC or, more accurately, my gamedisk: Does anyone know why the save screen would screw up from time to time?
I ask because I've cleaned the disk and the Playstation 2 as best as I can and it still randomly does it and I just know it's going to fuck me over on Karnak on top of potentially corrupting my game even if I never (can) save when the screen is like that.
So, yeah, a little help?

Played FES last night for about 3 hours. Now that I finally understand how the Personas work, I beat the 2nd boss(es) and got a bunch of new Personas. This game is awesome.
beat the journey and answer on P3:FES. I don't know if I'll ever challenge Elizabeth.
Right now, I'm playing:
Breath o' Fire 3 - in the tower area. enemies are pretty tough so its GRINDAN TIME
Secret of Mana - in the upper land. yknow, I have to say that controlling your characters around is really annoying. I mean, the extra two characters always get caught up against things within the map, and when that happens, you can't move until they free themselves. I know I can just use Select but this kinda thing ALWAYS happens and it slows me down. Oh well.
Panzer Dragoon Saga - Just ran through the beginning, not really going to start it though. LOTS of FMVs in the beginning, damn. I have to say though, this game is quite something, even though I only played a half hour of it. The battle system is AWESOME and I really like how the story was set up.

You think that's bad? Wait till one of them gets killed because of that crap.....
Just started Advance Wars GBA. Pretty nice game. Almost done with field training. Those damn med tanks are a BITCH. My infantry and mech units couldn't even do ONE point of damage. And I had to capture the HQ which was right next to the med tank. Everytime that fucker fired, my infantry or mech unit was automatically killed in one shot.
FF Tactics is odd. I'm not used to banning swords. Nor am I used to the job system yet. I haven't played an RPG with a job system since DQ5? The main thing that's messing me up is my lack of experience with the game. That and the fact that there's no way to tell which armor goes to what job.... This is too damn important. I need a higher defense since they can ban items and/or white magic at any time.

Can be, if you get the wrong nature.
Ex. Cubone is great at using the ATK stat, not the SPECIAL ATK stat.
Adamant nature is a increase in ATK potential, and the drawback is low SPECIAL ATK
But why should I care if Cubone doesn't really have SPECIAL ATK'ING moves
Thus making Adamant nature more sense to go after

See, all that I never really paid attention too. I know basics like what beats what and some strategy. I didn't expect pokemon to become so strategic and advanced.

Bleh. That figures. I could restart since it's not like I'm terribly far, but I also don't really think it's going to mess with anything except for maybe Karnak. However, given that I never save at Karnak AFAICR, I can't really think of anything that I know of where I need to save and it's going to screw me up since it eventually works.
Anyway, my Blue Mage SCC finished Walz awhile ago. It's funnier how Magissa was the easiest boss because I kept my levels at 8 and just 2HKO'd her with Goblin Punch--I should note for any SSCC that you should probably kill her in two hits if you can instead of waiting for her to call Falzter because you don't get EXP from either of them and get the same 6 ABP either way. (Also, don't play Reina obviously.)
Karl Boss was harder than it had to be because I was at Level 6 by the time I remembered he was Level 5, which meant that I couldn't 3HKO. I'll have to remember that I restart this or do a Blue Mage SSCC.
And Siren (and the whole Graveyard) is always a bitch because RIGHT after you get Red Feast/Blood Feast/Vampire, you get into an area of all undead with a boss whose regular form is immune to Aero and who will turn undead right before you get your Red Feast off (at least in Active mode). I wonder if you can Phoenix Down that whore?
Garula was just a matter of whoring Frog Song whenever it wasn't Frog'd since I didn't have the ability to Mute as a Blue Mage.
Ah, Liquid Flame should be fun since I apparently have to level up all the way to Level 19 just to be at the same level so I can Goblin Punch its burning crotch. Hurray.
I've also started a Summoner SCC, which I may or may not do concurrently; I still have that Monk SCC as well which is apparently also at Walz as well, so....
***
I'm almost done with A Game with a Kitty 2: Darkside Adventures. I just have to finish the last area, including the secret area, get the stupid last piece from Loka Lake (stupid fucking jump), and figure out the secret of Aurora's Secret. In reverse order.
Provided I actually get important things done for once, I can at least finish this for once.

First disc on Star Ocean 3; I gave up on Xenosaga for now. Xenosaga 1 was quite honestly one of the most boring exp I've had come across in an RPG since Final Fantasy 3 DS. Star Ocean 3 really, really needs multiplayer. The game is pretty fun, it looks really complicated at first but I realized it's pretty simple actually after 3~4 hours. Two attack buttons, alternate holding down buttons to get combos going. MP/HP system is pretty confusing in this game(why is my MP going down instead of HP when I get hit? Plus, HP goes down when I use specials). Fate is a crazy fucker, but I wish there are more cancels like the SNES SO1. I guess my biggest pet peeve would have to be that 100%Fury auto guard doesn't work half the time and I lose a lot of MPs when it doesn't.
Oh and that one wine or whatever, it gets more expensive every time I go to a shop and I can see that I'd never be able to afford it. They did this in SO2 too, fucken Tri-Ace.
Hatred Edge
05-26-2008, 02:54 PM
I have SO3 and I did quit Xenosage Episode 1 too. It was boring. I remember falling asleep during one of the long ass cutscenes.
Regarding MP everyone has some kind of MP attack. In SO3 MP and HP are one in the same meaning you can kill anyone who has MP by depleting their MP. Against some bosses it's a better strategy than going for an HP kill.
About fury..later on in game you can get an item that gives 100% in 1 second. An easy ass cancel combo with Fayt is W-Sidekick>S-sidekick. It evades and take up little fury.
Money issues... Bonus battle guage. A godsend. IMO the GREATEST RPG subsystem ever created. You can get 300% experience and 200% fol. Always go for it. especially if you need to level up. And when you get Maria use her. With her strong close range and long range attacks, she's perfect for lvling with the bonus battle guage and fighting afar.
The worse members though are Peppita and Roger and Adray. Mind you they don't suck. I'd say they're on par if not better than 90% of RPG teams but they're nowhere as god like as Fayt,Maria, and Sophia. Cliff, Adray, and Nel are excellent members too.
Make sure you complete maps 100% You get a free item that can boost how fast you move in battle and bunnyshoes, equip those as well. Why? Well let's say you can become fast enough to outrun missiles.:smokin:
Warning though: Really large places when done 100% can give you an item that can slow you down in battle. Don't worry, you can throw them away.

Cliff is pretty cool, dude reminds me of my friend irl. Helping out Nel ATM. AI Nel is retard, she rather burn MPs on attack spells than healing a fukken dude who's at yellow HP. I actually had four bonus things going at the same time once, but it got broken. What breaks the gauges? It sucks when it does.
The wine is a food item. It has crazy name that I can't remember. It goes up in price in proportion to the playtime and it's really difficult to buy.

Really strong attacks break the guage. Like guard breaking strong. I say save a lot. Also reseting the game resets the guage too. Whenever you an enemy doing an attack that's coming out REALLY slow or a magic attack, switch characters.
If you plan to train for a long time you better have a long time on your hands but later on as the game becomes harder you can level up faster. Like 7 million exp in a few minutes....
And a bit of info regarding spell usage:
-You can turn off what spells you what. When you get Maria she loves to use def and offense boost spells. I turned that crap off. You really don't need it. And also battle skills and spells can level up too. 10 levels IIRC.
As for the statues you don't "use" them. They take effect. The more and more you collect is the more obvious it becomes. Don't bother with the wine. It's pointless. Eventually you can make or buy food far more effective for cheaper.

I beat Devil May Cry 4 yesterday. Critics are pretty accurate when they say that this is basically half a game. You play as Nero in the beginning, switch to Dante about halfway through, and switch back to Nero at the end. You revisit each place like twice, and you fight most bosses like 3 times. I wish you could use Dante more in the main game because IMO he is so much better than Nero in just about every way (more weapons, more styles, easier to combo with, more powerful in most situations, etc.), but oh well.
ps. I though maxed out Swordmaster was broken. You can literally use the Rebellion alone and get easy SSS combos with it. Plus, it becomes stupid powerful with all the B button abilities. This alone made Dante better than Nero for me.
This game is still fun and worth playing, however.

I like sidekick. Shit looks damn great when that crazy fucker Fate warps left and right beating on dudes. but yeah the problem is that it doesn't hit tiny guys. So I set up my cancels so that X = sidekick or Aerial, and O = Charge, so that I can cover all ground.
I talk shit on final fantasy all the time, but one thing I do miss is that when character x leaves party and comes back, in ff games, they re-adjust their levels according to current party level. I accidently got carried away with the bonus gauges and Nel is now 8 levels behind Fate and Cliff right now.

Is Nel really that good? Seems just kinda retarded to me, she did a lot of retarded shit in my play. Oh and dude, how do you build characters in this game? I'm just spending all my sp on HP with Fate, and Defense on Cliff, and uh.. Cliff has higher fukken HP??! and I'm spreading sp all-around on Nel just in case.

Nel isn't bad at all. Do you need her? Not really. The God children(Fayt/Maria/Sophia) are much better but Nel is good it's just she is better in human hands than the CPU. The way she it though you have to be decent at using her.
About HP...I just tried to max out everything. HP is huge in this game. Like around 60K average if you lvl up high enough. In my playthrough I upped HP first. lvl cap is 255 I believe. I lvled HP first because the defense is low. I figured I might as well have a lot of HP since battle skills drain life too.
Defense is odd. Your defense hardly goes up. So you need specific items and armor to up your defense by a large amount.
Building characters. Man there's a whole lotta crap that goes into that. Not to mention relationship points that dicate what ending you get. What I did was simply train them. High HP, high MP, high offense. I trained the hell outta them. There are strats to building the characters but if you are playing on standard diffculty there's not much to worry about until you unlock the remaining 111 levels to the sphere tower.
And you fight your own teammates. But you're not anywhere near that. Decide who you want to keep and who you want out. Plan ahead who you want to train. And lvl up alot. I need to check the strat guide. There's some info that can give you high damage really early in the game. I'm talking killing bosses in 5 minutes. You NEED that. It makes battles much easier. But you're gonna need a lot of money.
Focus on:
-Lvling up
-Bonus battle guage
-HP increase points
-Your final team
-Money

I meant restart as in "reset".... :wonder:
Oh.
Well, in the case, it "resetting" hasn't been working, unless you mean a full-button reset, which seems unnecessary. The graphics go away seemingly randomly if I exit from the menu--they just waste time, which is what I'm worried about when it comes to Karnak.
Although I suppose should be more worried that now it's glitching on the main screen.....
Anyway, I've always found it funny how right after Walz (or right before, depending on if you were dumb enough), they have a boss like Shiva (optional or not) who just totally rapes you unless you whore her weakness (and even then, she can pretty much OHKO one character by herself despite the fact her damned soldiers hit you for 40 in the back row). It's even funnier that I can't go to Karnak to get better equipment because then I get caught up in the storyline and then get forced on the Fire Ship, which is even fucking worse due to Liquid Flame (joy for doing that fight again).
Oh well, I managed to beat her with the Summoner SCC (and I think the Monk SCC quite a few months ago) through Remora and Slyph of all things--it's funny that I've never really use FFV Summoner.
Blue Mage will have to wait to down her until after Karnak since my damage potential and healing are both so poor against her and I'll have both Flash and Aero2 by that point. (I'm not sure if Flash works on the Ice Commanders, though. You can use Frog Song on them anyway, but Frog Song seems to only work 75% or 66% of time.)
That and Fire Rods to her face. (Note to self: Buy Ice Rods for Liquid Flame since Aero probably won't do shit to him.)

The Composer needed to re-assert his dominance over the UG. Neku had just kicked the Conductor's ass. So the Composer challenged Neku to that final showdown and shot him, retaking control over the UG. Now, his initial plan had been to destroy Shibuya entirely. But he had a change of heart upon seeing how much the past 3 weeks had changed Neku, Shiki, and Beat for the better. So he not only chose to keep Shibuya functioning, but restored Neku, Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme to their original lives.
The final video is supposed to be Neku writing a letter to the Composer. He really improved over those 3 weeks in the UG. He's learned how to open up, let people in, and really make some friends. He's shown to be hanging out with Shiki, Beat, and Rhyme on a regular basis. Neku says that he is still mad at the Composer for everything that the Composer put him through, but he knows that he will eventually forgive the Composer. And not just because it really did make him into a better person despite the hardships, but also because they were friends too.
Incidentally, the secret reports are mostly for filling in some aspects of the backstory that aren't made particularly clear through the main storyline. They're written by Mr H. Be ready for one last whopper of a twist!
did you get all the secret reports? is that extra scene worth the trouble, i.e. is it just a cutscene or another playable day/week/whatever?It's just one small additional sequence in the closing cutscene of the game.

I guess that video game stuff is the only thing I've really done so recently:
Let's see....
FFV - I've progressed all my SCCs to Karnak's Fire Ship. I've only beat Liquid Flame with my Blue Mage SCC, but that's because it's only one that I tried to beat him with. It only took me three tries because I leveled all the way up to Level 19 so that we could Goblin Punch him since he's apparently Level 19. (Once again, what the hell with the huge level disparity right after the Watere Tower?) I have finally realized that despite being back row okay, Goblin Punch is dependent on Vigor outside of being on the same level as the opponent. So apparently Faris, with her front row Mythril Row set up, could 3HKO him, which was rather great considering he counters everything. Ugh. After that, I decided to get the Blue Mage ability, View!, before I went to "save the crystal" and I decided to get all the ABP in Walz rather than Karnak since I was trying not to level up. (Although not that I think about it, it's probably because I could just hold X without paying attention--I'll need to level up a bit to 20 anyway to get on the same level as Death Claw.) Since I was in Karnak, I decided to smack that hoe Shiva around after Frogging her Soldiers and then I proceeded to sodomize her with Fire Rods. It was glorious.
Other than that, I've finally started FFT up again:
FFT - As of yesterday, I've just started a SSCC Wizard with Ramza--renamed to "Coinneach" for my own reasons--as a Cancer instead of the recommended Capricorn both because it's my own Zodiac sign (not that I believe in that stuff in real life) and because I just wanted to see if it was doable with a different Zodiac considering I got screwed over in my Summoner SSCC on Altima because I just used Capricorn.
(I'm the Twisted Willow that's mentioned in the guide.) (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/197339/27673)
I kind of want to save videos of that SSCC, but I've never done that before and this is probably the wrong thread to try and learn how....
gouls and ghosts...

My emergency team is something like that. Only, I use Ramza and Luso. Luso gets shout before ramza and he automatically poaches on his base job, that dude is crazy. Black chocobo with beastmaster skill is good, but I usually team one with regular choco, for esuna.

Just beat the Halo 3 Campaign on Normal (yeah...I'm late). It's alright, I guess. Nothing too spectacular. It's just that Halo feels slow as shit after playing a Call of Duty game.

I'm current playing Dynamite Heady on the Virtual Console.
It grows on you but overall I don't find it to be as good as Treasures other games.
I'm also playing Advanced Wars: Days of Ruin. Pretty fun game.

Rumble Fighter, till I got tired of gettin' 100 bucks per match, just to try to buy shit that costs around 4000 and up. :/
Also, you can fork over real money to buy shit that seems more beneficial, but no thanks.

Persona 3 is fun, but it got too redundant for me after a while. I was on level 27 or so before I took a break.

I know what you mean. I feel like I've been doing the same thing forever. The highest I went thus far is floor 34.
The same music all the time isn't helping either. And I'm trying to boost the MC's charm and intelligence.

You can change the music if you press square, but I think this is only once you beat the 2nd set of floors, I'm not sure.

You can study before you go to bed, which I almost always do. Or after school you can go to the library and study.

I've been doing those too but I can't always go to the library because I need to up the social links and I can't always study then sleep because I need to go to Tartarus to level up. However when someone is tired I do go to the library and study and study at the dorm.

Yeah you gotta balance between social links and skills. I always try to get tired so I can go to the Nurse's office and up my Courage for trying his new concoction.

I just recently completed Last Episode of Sonic '06. Im crrently trying to:
1)Get all of Sonic's moves
2) S-rank End Of The World
3) Play everyone's act levels on hard.
Also Metal Slug 3 FINALLY completed Mission 4 trying to complete Mission 5, the last mission.
Besides that I might start over JSRF.
Edit: I STILL dont think Sonic '06 is as bad as people claim it is.

I play metal slug on 20 credits... you need like 10 remaining for level 5 on metal slug 3.

Also, it still has Shadow on vehicles (so dumb) and Silver is an irritating character with an irritating voice and dumb powers.
But mostly slow... slow running speed, slow movements, slow response times, slow slow slow slow.

The moment I saw that I had to not only watch a long ass fucking cutscene but then play a goddamn minigame before I even get to do the first fucking level, I knew that Sonic '06 was trash. Nevermind the goddamn humans all over the place and the princess.

Been playing Brawl again lately. The one fighter where all the characters I liked initially ended up as top. I've been trying to finish challenges. Mainly Boss Battles has been pissing me off. Who should I use for Intense? Toon Link's Dair has been pretty useful. Should I just stick with that?

I tried that too. The dodging always got the best of me though. I did two player boss rush with double charizard once. It was ownage with the quickness. Tabuu's rrod killed my friend every time though.

I've been playing the Link to the Past remake on GBA, and have forgotten how to get into one of the rooms in Ganon's Tower. On Floor 3, there is a long, skinny corridor with cannons on the wall that shoot marbles at you while you walk across a very thin platform. There is a wall which can be cracked with a bomb in the SE corner of this room, but i can't remember how to reach it. Does anyone happen to remember?

If its the room im thinking of, you should end up there after some normal progression. Could be wrong though.

Popped in Mega Man Anniversary Collection and played the first MM on Easy (screw you haters). Died twice on Guts Man's stage because I screwed up on those freaking platforms. Then I beat the stage on my last life. Then I killed Cut Man and then, Elec Man, both on my last life. Then I foolishly go to Ice Man's stage and get raped by those effing moving/shooting platforms! Worst part? The game pulled some bull crap where I took a hit while jumping ABOVE the bullets and feel through the EFFING platforms! Crap happened TWICE!!! I was so annoyed I stopped playing.

MGS4 and just recently got back into warcraft 3.
MGS4 is a great game, but as far as gameplay goes i still think MGS2 was the best one since there's more of an emphasis on sneaking
