Well, I'm sure fans of X will be happy with the added content/difficulty, if it is indeed the international version SE decides to HD-ify. Yeah, it is... I guess because it makes other people uncomfortable, so most try to make a person feel kind of guilty about crying so they don't have to deal with having to try and comfort a person. Oh gawsh.. Riots. That would be scary to see, at least to me. I'm not a fan of violence, especially irl... Awww~ I'm glad you liked those movies. ^^ Do you like Adam Sandler films? Which ones have you seen if you do? Oh man... Makoto and his epic sax-playing skills. ^^; I can't call that the worst weapon ever in a game, but it is among the goofiest. Maybe one of these days there will be a gay character that isn't so stereotypical. Oh yeah? Is it more like a day of rest for you all then. I'm sure it's greatly appreciated, since Christmas can be kind of stressful. ^^; Wow, talk about "missed you by a hair", eh? And you're right, it is good that it's at least working now. ^^
Naw, we Europeans got lumped with the same version as you on 10-2. Well, apparently 10 international was supposed to be too hard for you. I think we talked about that one time before. x3 They will probably give you it when 10 HD comes. Isn't it weird crying is considered weak? It's just an emotional out-burst. Our football is a big deal, did you know? There are sometimes riots here when a fan-favourite team loses? :/ Really not a fan of the sport myself, though. Thank ya. :> I did watch that Tim Burton one you liked, but I think that one was definitely too American for me to "get" ^^; Edit: watched it! Actually really liked that one, thanks for the recommendation! It was well done, yeah. Hahahaha, I forgot about that guy! xD Yes...they should make a gay guy and handle it maturely instead... We have Boxing day! It came from our country. It's the day after Christmas, only here hardly anybody goes out on Boxing Day. It is not considered a day for shopping. Unless we all decided we like America now and want to be just like them, I don't think that will change. That's a good start. Nice to know MSN added us both properly. : > Aye, will just keep on tryin. Six hours behind shouldn't be too hard to catch you at some point! I think I just missed you by a few mins since seem to remember I stayed until just past eleven.
Lol, you do that. You have access to the international version, right? Wonder why America never gets stuff like that? :/ It's a mystery... Yeah, I'm of the belief that it takes a stronger person to cry than to just bottle it up. Plus, who wants to carry that kind of emotional weight around? Hah, no problems. Hope you enjoy the film. ^^ I think it has more appeal for Americans, since football (or handegg ) is kind of a big deal here, but maybe you'll enjoy it all the same. Yeah, his sexuality is left pretty ambiguous. I thought it was handled pretty nicely though. Methinks that full-on gay characters are so rare, because most of 'em turn out to be rather...camp. At least the ones that I can think of have been that way. Ever play Enchanted Arms? There's a gay character in that one, and he is...so very flamboyant. I think there are some other parts of the world that are starting to adopt black friday, and I know that Canada has somethng called Boxing day, which I think is after Christmas. They go out and shop then too. Gah, i got on about an hour after you did.... I did see your message though! :3 Maybe we'll finally catch each other...eventually.
It was a pretty awful game...I almost feel like playing it again. Deary me...I'm beaten, huh? :/ I don't see how. One of the girls that said I seemed tough had seen me publicly crying just a few weeks before. xD I guess it takes some guts to cry in public and not feel embarrassed about it being in public, only that you're crying at all? I dunno. It could just be I'm being hard on myself. Maybe I am really a tough bad-ass. Awesome, thanks for the info. Will probably try and watch it tomorrow. He seems to be bi? That's how it appeared int he last episode. Shame. Seemed more interesting when I thought he was supposed to be plain gay. Why are gays so rare in games? :< Cyber Monday....>_> What a name. Special days just for shopping seems so American somehow. Wonder if you guys are the only ones who set days aside for it? You're welcome. Seems like I missed you this time, but I did manage to get on, so that's a start! Not me. I'm always on time, I actually get really bothered if I'm late. Hee, seems like we are. :>
Yeah, the combat was pretty good, and some of the dresspheres were quite nice, but as a whole the game was just "meh" to me. Haha, you wouldn't be the first to give X-2 a positively positive review. A guy on this site called it the best FF game he ever played. Hmmm... Maybe you have a courageous front. That's good though. ^^ "The Waterboy" was good the first few times I watched it. Definitely a straight-up Adam Sandler flick. If you enjoy his type of movies, then you'd probably like it. Well, I hope that he's doing better now. He shouldn't waste his efforts on places/people that are just going to make him feel like crap. Not particularly, no. I don't dislike Kanji, but he's not among my favorites. ^^; I do sort of like how ambiguous the game leaves the issue of his sexuality though. Makes for some interesting discussions (if it already hasn't been discussed to death though. ) Ha, well it's not so bad if you go in later in the day, but those early morning hours are when the best deals happen...and the worst customers. Staying in bed is a lot more convenient, especially since people can get their shopping done on "Cyber Monday" and get some great deals too (which is tomorrow, btw) ^^ Ah, thanks for looking that up for me. And it's okay if you didn't get on. I'm bad with keeping with a scheduled time... Dunno if that's the same for you, but I totally understand if it is. Haha, wow. We are a chatty duo, eh?
Awww, that's harsh. You didn't enjoy 10-2 even a little bit? It had great combat. xD You know what? If the site sends me 10-2 HD, I shall giving it a friggin GLOWING review, it will be the kindest 10-2 review out there. It will even praise Sphere Break, and how great the story is. Hmm...I dunno. I feel kinda wussy. But people often seem to think I'm tough-stuff, so who knows. Oooo, is that a good film? The clip was enjoyable. Yeah, he worked really hard for them when he could, he was very serious about his work for them. I never got as far as meeting Kanji in the game, so I can't say, sorry. : ( Don't usually like mean characters, but I like him. xD Maybe because you see his softer side pretty fast after meeting him. What about you? Are you a Kanji fan? :3 What...that's crazy...I guess it's well named at least. Maybe you should stay inside during that day, it sounds just too dangerous. Ah, I kinda didn't manage to get on, sorry. :/ I'll try tonight instead. ^^ If Google is right, then I think I'm six hours ahead of you, so yeah, pretty much. Heehee, I joined here about two months ago and we spoke almost every day since. ^^
"Contaminate" is a good word, yeah. Really? Most people shock the hell out of me sometimes. Guess you really are made from stronger stuff. :3 Haha, when you said that they "really, really suck", I got that one scene from The Waterboy in my head. xD But yeah, I totally sympathize with that guy... I know what's it like to feel really pressured with a workload and feeling overwhelmed. :/ **** move on those guys for making him feel guilty, but it's their loss, not his. ^^ Yeah, it is good to know what happens to characters when the story is over. :3 Though in the anime sequel of P3, Aki became a police officer, but that's not considered canon, so it's not important. I heard it wasn't that good of an anime anyway. Yeah, I figured Kanji was supposed to be a bit more srs in the game, with only a few butt monkey moments here and there. I guess when the story gets a little further along, we'll see a few stark changes. There's quite a few horror stories about black friday, and people do more than just push each other out of the way. I've heard people getting trampled, shot, and hospitalized because of it. Stuff like that doesn't happen around here though, at least not what I've heard. Shucks... I wasn't on when you were... Your night is like...my afternoon time, right? Maybe next time I'll catch you on.
I knew it! So what you're saying is...you think the other games being on the ame disc might contaminate 12? Nothing surprises me anymore. It's okay, it's like you said before. People suck. They really-really suck. One of the other volunteers there, when he started back a uni couldn't post news everyday anymore, he was getting really stressed because of the work-load...then they cleverly start to make comments that he is just too lazy. Wtf? It was probably just a joke, but it was in horrible taste. They really hurt his feelings, he was obviously a very sensitive chap from things he had said in the chat before too. Anyways, my point is, these people...they really-really suck. With extra suck on top! Meh, I guess it was hardly the meanest thing to say, but it just seemed pretty naff. Thanks, though, Dodie. :> You're welcome! Still not sure how to feel about it, but it's nice to have any explanation anyways, huh? Good, I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. <3 Yeah...it doesn't suite him. Hopefully he will toughen up again. Crazy...? Do people push each other out of the way in crazy scrambles for deals? Hm, I think I will try to come on MSN tonight, maybe will catch you this time!
Yeah, their extreme loathing of the game is just a front, totally. You know deep down that they'd be totally jelly that you got it. I dunno if I want the FF PS2 collections (excluding the online one) all on one disk. Me wants FF XII as a glorious stand-alone~ With possibly some added content...pwease? :3 Ah yeah, I heard that rumor before XIII came out. Lots of people were up in arms about it too. Quite a few thought that a lot of content got left out because the 360 couldn't handle a game that size...or something. Well....shit. I was gonna give 'em the benefit of the doubt, but these people are kind of shady if they didn't even tell you that they're going to redo the review... :/ Sorry that it happened...again... :/ Haha, Aki is so whipped. xD Guess that does explain his new look though. ^^ Thanks for the info~ Yeah, it was pretty nice. ^^ We did eat a little later than expected, and I kind of messed up making the gravy, but all in all, it was good. I got to finally watch it when I woke up this morning. Lol, poor Kanji... Totally getting pushed around nearly the entire time. Nah, I didn't get up to go shopping. No one else really wanted to either, so we all just slept in. Probably a good thing too. Some of those bargain hunters can be crazy. Lots of people on my FB page are saying that they had a pretty decent time though. ^^
Yes, aren't you lucky? Haha, it would make a great joke present. Yeah, everybody I know offline HATES it. I'll be waving it in their faces, and they will be secretly jealous. They should do X, X-2 and XII on one disc, man. Seems reallly cheeky if they don't put at least two on the same disc since you just know they will all get a HD redo eventually. They had a ton of unused stuff and DLC they were originally gonna put out with FFXIII, I believe. So FFXIII-2 is like....it's like...the sloppy seconds? Nasty left-overs? xD No, they have not spoken with me at all. It was pretty much totally redone. ^^; Ah, I wouldn't know, but it sounds like you do. Me still want the game pretty bad, though. Gotta play Kanji, or Chie. <3 edit: I guess I kinda found an explanation "Set 3 years after the events of Persona 3, both Mitsuru and Akihiko are now both grown up college students. Mitsuru also happens to be member of S.E.E.S. and is searching for something in Inaba. Akihiko meanwhile, has been training all over the world to to perfect his punch and is in the tournament since Mitsuru asked him to join." Hehe, sounds like you had a good time, then? ^^ I not sure if it was up when I sent that, but it was up before I went to bed. Was a pretty good one too. ^^ Are you gonna go Black Friday shopping, or whatever it is?
Oh, joyous of joys... Heh, were your friends and bro not much for FF X-2 either? I can just imagine the look on their faces when you come strolling through with a new HD copy of it. xD I sort of hope that XII gets some HD love too, though it sure wasn't as popular with the fans as X was... It's also not that old either. :/ Holy cow, it sure is. I'm surprised at just how quickly the game was made, though I'm sure making a sequel is a lot less time consuming. Aw... I'm sure it didn't suck... Have you got a chance to read it and see the changes that they made? I guess you did, since you said most of it was redone..but I wasn't sure if they just notified you and said something like "Hey, we redid most of your review. Hope that's okay!" Awesome? Why thank you~ Never really thought it was awesome, but I suppose it is at least a step up from just worrying. I know! When I saw it, I was like..."Aki...what happened to you???" I think he's trying to channel the spirit of Shinjiro, who was a lot more rough and tumble than Aki. I dunno. That's my validation for it at any rate. Well, as long as they're not reckless (i.e. driving while intoxicated, or anything else that could danger someone's life), then I don't mind if a young person drinks, even if they're not the age yet. Doesn't mean that I'M going to be buying some kids booze though. Oh man.... I feel pregnant after all the food that I ate today. Urgh... Now I gotta really double up on my exercise routine, which I probably should do anyway, since what I started out with wasn't very much. Just enough to get back into the swing of things though. ^^ You got a new episode already? I checked the site that I usually go to, and I didn't see a new one yet. Should be up later today for me though. ^^ CAMPING TRIP EPISODE, WOOO~!
Don't worry about it, I'm sure they will re-release it in HD, so you'll get another chance to pick it up, yay! xD I kinda wanna buy it if they do, just to see how my friends and brother react. Then I'll be all like "Y.R.P. in position. It's showtime, girls!" Yeah, it is kinda crazy...then again I think it is out very soon in Japan? They probably didn't plan on it, guess it just really sucked, so they had to re-do most of it. ^^; It said on the ad when I applied that they teach you to write well, but they never taught us anything, so it's their fault at the end of the day. Guess it's kind of the internet equivalent to getting some random stranger from off the street to do your work. I might have been upset about it about a week ago, but it feels like a lot has happened (even though it hasn't exactly), I guess it put things into prospective a little. Hmm...that's interesting, most people can't sleep becuase they are worrying, but you can't sleep becuase you're dreaming of a perfect life? xD That's kinda awesome... He used to be a smartly dressed fellow, didn't he? That really doesn't suit him...he would have looked cooler in his usual clothing. >_< What were they thinking? Yeah, 16 seems a bit young. But then again these kids will usually get the drink if they really want it. >_> Sounds delicious...you're making me wish we had Thanksgiving here as well. Oooo, Persona day today. The last one was pretty funny. x3
Yeah, big shame. I'm sure I'll get over it though. Oh, I didn't mean it like that. You can send me whatever you like. I just meant how all these cutscenes and stuff from teh game are already on youtube, so I could just check those out instead. Lame.... :/ If they were just going to rewrite the review anyway, why did they ask you to do one to begin with? Gawd... People suck sometimes. Good on ya for looking on the bright side though. It's not so much that I worry, I just daydream a lot when I'm lying in bed. Mostly fantasizing about a perfect life and such (and maybe a cute somebody as well ^^; ). Edit: Speaking of fighting games, some screenshots of that Persona Fighting game are up on Siliconera, mostly having to do with Mitsuru and Akihiko. When I got a look at what the design for Aki was going to be...well...to be honest, I'm a little less that thrilled with the new look he's got. :/ Wow, 16. That's pretty young. I guess not too young, since most kids that age get their driver's license at that time here in the States. I think 18 is a better age limit though. Thank you! So far, my mom and little cousins have been baking up a storm. Mostly pies and stuff. Early tomorrow is when the real food is going to be prepared. Can't wait!
xD X-2 is so bad, but it makes me smile. Shame you got rid of that amazing installment in the series. Haha, will stop sending you all this stuff if you want, sorry. xD Oh, man. They totally changed my review by the way. I'd be upset, but at this point I'm really not surprised. Plus I did get a free game, so I can't complain too much. Still, I think I'm done with them until the next free game they wanna send me, if they ever fancy doing that again. ^^; Aww...it used to be a problem for me, stupid brain wouldn't shut up. I guess I just learned to worry less. Things are usually better in the morning, and everything usually turns out all right, so try not to worry as much. It's easy to say, I know, but I feel like I'm living proof that you can get out of the 'worrying about things too much' kind of mentality. Aye. Ya damn straight! ^^ That are beastly. At the last minuet I realized I was too lazy to learn Rocket Racoon, since you need to be good at planning with those traps ect. Decided to see which character out of the new ones looked the most badass in black. My entire team is their black costumes. You should see the all-black Nemesis, he's damn cool. B) Yeah, I'm 'back in black' with Ultimate Marvel! Here in England you used to be able to drink at 16, I think? I never was very interested in drinking, so never paid much attention. Believe they bumped it up to 18 now. Ah, will have to try and remember to check it out, yeah. Oh, I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving tomorrow. <3
Well, from the previews I've seen of XIII-2, it looks like it's going the srs bsns route. At least that's my impression. X-2 was the only FF game I ever willingly got rid of. ^^; I used to have urges to pick up another copy, then I'd watch vids of it on youtube and was like 'oh yeah... THAT'S why it's not in my collection anymore....' xD Wow, at this rate, I can just look to youtube to catch up on the story and not even have to play the game itself. Thanks for the link. Will watch in a bit. ^^ Yeah, for real. Guess because there's so many distractions, like gaming, tv, internet... Heh, I wish I could sleep when my head practically hits the pillow. *jelly~* My mind usually races with stupid stuff, and it makes it rather hard to sleep. Ahaha... Traded up Dante for his bro, eh? Your team does sound pretty badass. Quite a powerhouse trio, if I do say so myself. ^^ Yeah, at 21, you can legally drink, so that's why it's a big one. Europe doesn't have an age limit as high as that, right? I think it should be lowered to 18 here myself. I mean, if you can sign up to go to war at that age, you should at least be able to drink and do other stuff then as well. :/ Crazy stupid laws... I don't recall seeing him in anything else, though I know the girlfriend in the movie was in Drop Dead Fred (probably some other films too). If you're curious, I'd check out "Billy's" IMdB page. ^^
