  • The site said that it would take a couple of days to process your code and then they would email you with the way to get Juggie. I submitted it two nights ago (release day night) and haven't heard anything yet. I'm going to give it another day before I call up Gamestop and ask them what's up.  So far I'm really enjoying the game. I never played MUA1, so ...

  • Played the full demo at GameStop yesterday and thought the game was really fun! Definitely looking forward to it.

  • Already did. CE. Very satisfied with what I've experienced in the beta. It gets significantly more interesting post-20, but I even enjoyed the earlier levels.

  • The ring thing is Lunarsphere. I use it on my Mage and Hunter specifically because they have a lot of abilities that I like to have in a click's distance without needing to open the spellbook and page to them (portals, buffs, tracking, pet stuff, et cetera).Sorry the pics are small... you can zoom in on them in my pic gallery if you want to see the area (or my ...

  • So, tonight in Ulduar, I tested out a little bug I had heard about where you can blink through the floor in the entrance to Freya's room. Basically, after you teleport to her room, you run forward to the middle of the lip in the doorway and then blink. It took a bunch of tries, but eventually I ended up shoulder-deep in the floor just inside her room. Then I ...

  • I'm a huge fan of the original. Call me a hardcore jaded old school lamer if you must, but it's the definitive Final Fantasy game as far as I'm concerned. That said, I probably won't be getting this because from what I've heard, it clocks in at a whopping 4 hours of content. That's just not enough game for me to shell out $8, considering the graphical and audio quality ...

  • Best SRPG in Years!: It is a rare thing to find a strategy role-playing game (SRPG) done right in this age of first-person shooters, third-person shooters, and soon massively multiplayer online shooters. But here we have a game that combines two elements many players cherish--turn-based military strategy and story-driven role playing--into one gorgeous work of art. I could not be more thankful for it.I started playing Valkyria Chronicles early this year after having a ...

  • @Gambit: That was my point. The difference between being good and bad at Street Fighter games, in my experience, basically comes down to knowing when to block. I find SCIV offers greater complexity than that, which I appreciate.

  • That's good news because I just bought this one. I skipped the Edy one (for now) in part because she's not a very good, and I honestly found her annoying. :)Anyone try the hard mode DLC? How was it?

  • They become more interesting as you get later into the storyline. All of the characters start out as very one dimensional, but I felt they were each fleshed out more, to varying degrees, as we learn more about them and as events unfold in the storyline.I agree that the story and characters do take a very long time to develop in this game, though.

  • I'll wait until someone other than the people who practiced a choreographed set of motions in front of it uses it and reports that it works amazingly well. If it does work as well as they want us to believe it does, I'll be impressed. If it doesn't, I won't be surprised. Either way, I didn't find it overly impressive, personally.It will be a decent gimmick for some games, given ...

So, tonight in Ulduar, I tested out a little bug I had heard about where you can blink through the floor in the entrance to Freya's room. Basically, after you teleport to her room, you run forward to the middle of the lip in the doorway and then blink. It took a bunch of tries, but eventually I ended up shoulder-deep in the floor just inside her room. Then I ran forward and started falling, and falling, and falling. Then I used Slow Fall and landed in one of Yogg-Saron's nightmare rooms. Honestly nothing to do in there, and you get trapped, but it's something to do if you're bored waiting for a disconnected Shaman to come back.

Some screens of it:











Also note my l33t DPS. ;)

"FOXHOUND" rank in MGS4... second highest rank! Next up: BIG BOSS!




























Yes, finished the game on BIG BOSS HARD in 3:47:37 with 0 continues, 0 alerts, 0 kills, 0 recovery items, and no special items used.

Conferring the title of FOXHOUND! Got a shiny new gun as a reward... but now it's off to THE BOSS EXTREME to do it again!

Oh, and Liquid is a @#$%! on BIG BOSS HARD... not looking forward to that fight on THE BOSS EXTREME.

Oh, and this:
That's right. I'm INSANE!
That's right. I'm INSANE!




























Plus, I bought and downloaded The Last Guy and Piyotama!

But now my girlfriend is dominating the TV playing Piyopiyo. Didn't think that one through in advance!

Probably won't sell my Wii. I'm still working through their "core" games from their first round of releases, and there are other games coming out for it that I'm interested in, so I will keep it at least until I finish those up.

The Wii doesn't appear to have a dearth of good games coming out in the future.

Awesome question of the day, by the way. MAKE IT LONGER NEXT TIME!

10,000 words, 2 weeks, 16 pages, and 70 references later, my hypothetical proposal is DONE. Or at least the third draft is. I'll be reading through it tomorrow, polishing it and sending it to my committee. Wish me luck!

So that means as of Thursday when I present it, VIDEOGAMES ARE BACK, BABY!

I'm tempted to do the following:

1.) Finish up Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Love this game.
Love this game.





















2.) Start and actually finish a new game of FFXII
I cannot explain why I didn't finish it the first time.
I cannot explain why I didn't finish it the first time.



























3.) Practice Taki and Yoshimitsu in SCIV and play it with my friends... maybe even convince my g/f to try to learn it?
Voldo, anyone?
Voldo, anyone?






















Blarg, but I get ahead of myself.

Time to start working on the presentation to go with my paper. Sigh.

That's me in the middle.

Last night, my girlfriend had to stay at her apartment because she had to get up very early to go to Anaheim for an exam, so I was sleeping alone. For some reason, I dreamed about Team Fortress 2. But not like I was playing it, like I was in it. It was pretty much awesome. I was Spy, then Scout, then Spy again. Yes, those are my favorite two jobs in the game. So... here's to hoping I have another TF2 dream tonight, and that Valve updates the Scout or Spy in their next update.

And yes, apparently I dream about videogames. Dorky? Yes. Do I care? No. It's schweeeeeeet!

(See, I just quoted Super Paper Mario, doesn't get much dorkier than that.)
