Hello friends.
 
I figured that my current pile of things which never gets smaller might be of some sort of interest. It's certainly diverse enough.
 

ive always wanted to try a phoenix wright  game :(

Ghost in the Shell is great, except for a few of the "stand alone" episodes, but the main story is superb.

Could not get past FFXII's uneven difficulties. One moment I'd slaughter a boss and the next one would smack me down even with several hours of leveling before entering the "temple." I promptly returned the game once I began to fight some of the Judges. Will never return to it again.
 
On a more positive note, the Ghost In The Shell series is one of the few animes I've been able to get through completely and enjoyed. Some of the episodes can get a bit too convoluted (as well as the plot) and when I look back, I don't know how a show who's episodes mostly consisted of 20 minutes of explanation and 10 minutes of execution held my attention and gained my love but it happened.

You've got good taste. Metropolis is a fantastic piece of work along with the Ghost in the Shell series.
 
Curse you FFXII for my undecided feelings towards you!

I read Hound of the Baskervilles over the summer for an assignment. I don't read a whole lot of mystery, but I thought it moved pretty well and was (fairly) easy to understand for a century old book.

Yeah I'm kinda excited. But I'm bad at doing too many things at once :( "

Sexy Ghost in the Shell with a splash of Phoenix Wright.  Yummy.  :)  I still need to finish the third PW game.

Oh man, you have to let me know when you finish Trials and Tribulations as soon as possible. I want to know what you think about the last case
 
Also, good to see you are reading the Mushishi manga. Which do you like better?

I suggest you just skip FF12. It's not that good.
 
Gotta love how GITS looks and sounds like TITS, probably to fit the box art :P.

You are probably going to be disappointed by Ghost in the Shell, Stand Alone Complex. It's not nearly as deep as the original (or the sequel), and it's kind of childish. Metropolis is EXCELLENT though.

Beautiful Katamari suhweeeet! Nobody plays that game at all. I can rarely find anyone online. :( 
 
And Ponyo, yes! That movie is tons better than Howl's, and the animation is so fantastic. It seriously is one of the best animated films around. 
 
 yep.

I'm so old I remember watching Kung Fu on television as a kid in the 70's. I was mesmerized by this wondering man searching for his half-brother.

Count me in as being a FFXII fanatic -- or at least I used to be before I played it to death. 
 
Amongst my many playthroughs were two using solo Basch, and not only is it totally doable, I found it to be a lot more fun. As long as you buff yourself and stay current with equipment, it's not even much harder than having a party. You won't need to use gambits, so that aspect of micromanaging is gone. You're just free to be a dude (or dudette) exploring this fantastic-looking world as you please.

Watch ghost in the shell 2nd gig, it's way better than the first, way better.

Heh, your a Japanese freak, huh?

The first season of GITS: SAC is great.

Let me know what you think of Shadow of the Colossus when you get to it :D.

" @torus: Oh you mean the robots who had just awoken to consciousness so they were basically children?  Yeah, I can see why that would make the entire series childish... or not. "

I really hated FFXII. The combat (like you said) was way too uneven. The story was boring. And the characters were just awful. Admittedly I didn't get more than 10 hours into it (because I really didn't like it). But this is why I'm not gonna get too hyped over FFXIII... I don't wanna be majorly let down like I was with XII.

3 movies down :o

Which 3? "

I want to watch Ponyo...don't think it's out here yet. What'll do to hear Liam Neeson talk.

how similar is the mushishi film to the anime? (I don't read manga)  I've always been curious.     
 
also what do you mean by "loose" about the BK controls?

" Oh yes, the Phoenix Wright series is by far my favorite handheld series ever, and "Trials & Tribulations" is by far the best in the franchise.   Wait til you get to the last case...It's just awesome. "

I've never played Shadow of Colossus before.

Or frustrating for others... "

" @sidescroller: That's what I meant. I did come together rather interestingly (though some connections are difficult, some are pretty arbitrary). It does become a sort of trial and error at times. Some cases were pretty easy but that one just hated me. I'm not cut out to be lawyer...
@AgentJ: Hey hey (We're the Monkeys)! I love those those games as much as you do but damn it that case just did not want to be friends with me!!! I tried damn it! "

" @AgentJ: I was actually thinking Justice For All, the last case in that. (Yes I know you guys were thinking T&T but I never had the time to play it!) "

I thought was Casshern was

AWESOME
