There's been a few sig requests in the art forum, but no one has really jumped on board to make 'em. We used to have banner contests around here too, before the girl who ran those decided to leave this place... It's the little things like that which make forums fun. Yeah, I've seen a couple of pics. He likes to hide his eyes though. He must be the anti-ninja! Aww.... That's a shame... Maybe one of these days you'll get to attend. ^^ That's awesome you had a chance to go, and for FREE it seems! E3 isn't open to the public anymore, but you might be able to get a pass if you're still within the industry (journalism and such). Did you already know that? Sorry for being redundant if you did. ^^; I'm not picky about which one I attend, just so long as I get to see crazy cosplayers and purchase some overpriced merch! Would you ever do something like cosplay? I don't know if I would, mostly because I don't have the patience or skill to make a costume, and I wouldn't know who I'd wanna go as either. ^^; I think it did alright. It got a rerelease on the Wii at any rate, if that's any indication of...anything. I just watched that one last night! Holy cow... I teared up a bit too. It was interesting to me how the time for the Petalars was so short and how they experience mere moments as lasting much longer. That was done pretty well, but I knew it would only end in tears... ;-; I went to bed at a fairly decent time, for me anyway. ^^ Thanks for the well wishes! Hope you're having a good day as well~
Wow...really? Maybe I should start to take requests again. I'm glad you like it so much. Yeah, yellow is, like, the colour of Persona 4. Which made picking the 'pop' colour nice and easy. I should really lurk less around here myself. It still seems odd there are not more posts. This place must attract lurky people. Have you seen his pictures? He looks so tiny in most of them. <3 He managed to take a few where he actually looks older than he is. Which he was very proud of. xD No. They actually got me tickets to Eurogamer this year, but it's such a faff getting down to London, and I wasn't sure what I'd be doing on the day that I kinda passed on the opportunity. ^^; I wanna go to E3 one year. And since I wanna go to America as well, that works out. Maybe one day I'll actually go. I think it is in Vegas this year. Or was that Evo...stupid brain. >_< What one do you wanna visit most? Did Bully do well? Can't really remember. Maybe they will. Yeah, it doesn't feel like it, but it has actually been ages since GTA 4. Man, did you hit episode 4 of Thundercats yet? It's so damn good, I actually cried. xD Thundercats 2011 Episode 4 - YouTube <- if not. Aww...hmm...did you go to bed late? Maybe you are just a person that needs more sleep than most? Glad you're doing all right, sis.
That's perfect! I love the position of the character within the avy, and the bits of the red color in the background pick up well with the food that she's holding. :3 I'm glad you went with yellow as the color to help it pop. It looks great against the dark skin, and also yellow was the color theme present in Persona 4 (or so tv tropes tells me ) It fits on so many levels~ I don't really care for text in my avys, so this is great the way it is. ^^ Now I gotta start posting more so I can show it off~ Thank you much! <333333 I never heard his voice before watching the vid, and he really does seem to be a cheerful child~ Heh, he's nearly 16, but still sounds much younger to me. x3 Ah, andriasang is very good. That's the source that Siliconera and the Final Fantasy Wiki like to use quite a bit. They are indeed very fast. I wonder what it's like to report for a site like that? Having to attend/watch gaming announcements/conferences could be pretty cool. I wanna go to a place like PAX, ComicCon or something one of these days. Have you ever gone to a convention before? GTA V already? Geez... I guess the fourth one was released quite a bit ago, so I suppose it's time for another release for Rockstar's flagship series. I wonder if they're ever going to make another Bully? It was interesting of what I played, and had a bit more structure to it than the GTA series (since it was set in a school and had a schedule to keep). Stuff like that keeps my head in the game. I woke up at 10 a.m. in an effort to get my sleep schedule back on track (was so proud of myself~), but then at about 5 or so, I passed out and slept for like....3 hours? We'll see if that has any effect on whether I can get to bed at a decent hour or not tonight. Other than that, not too much else to say, but I'm doing alright. ^^
One avatar done and done, m'lady person. Uh, it might e bit gross? I wanted it to look kinda meaty/blend with her steak. Preview of it in-use (needs zooming for full-size): http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/8629/unled2xec.png Hope it sticks out enough. Actual avy ~ http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/6191/dodava.png Hope you like it, man! That's a lot more info than I'm used to getting when making graphics for people, aha. Cheers. You forgot to mention if you want text, or not though. Shame about your graphics course. Cool pick in subjects though, I must say. Bear (Fate) makes stronger graphics than I, but I try to do something a little different with mine. Yursh. Imagine he will get as addicted as I seem to have gotten, ^^; Haha, he sent me that as well. Doesn't he pretty much always sound happy? <3 Haha, true. At least it was...um...all dried up...I guess...xD Yes, hopefully I can save people from some snotty experiences of their own. Hopefully not. It does sound pretty bad. Hope it doesn't weigh down on your mind too much, lass. My main sources are andriasang.com -- Japanese Game Database (really fast, love their write-up's. Japanese news only). My second main source is actually a forum. It's full of awful people for some reason, but they're awful people who are fast with putting up the news: Gaming Discussion - NeoGAF There was a lot of crying on there becuase a site gave Uncharted 3 8/10 in a review (Eurogamer). ;_; That's what happens when they get too used to so many games getting 10/10, I guess. Ooo, just noticed GTA V was announced when I went to fetch the link. Hopefully they'll take something from Saints Row and make GTA fun again. The fourth one was pretty 'meh.' Last, but not least: Shoryuken for my fighting game needs! <3 I looked on Siliconera a couple of times. It does seem like a good one for the things that usually slip by. Glad you liked it! Hope you're well/having a good day.
Oh, man. If you feel up to making it, I'd really like an avatar! The max size for an avatar on this site is 125 by 150, so if it's okay to work within that size of an area for ya, then that's the size I'll take. ^^ As for color, I love vibrant colors, so go crazy with whatever you think will stand out (I use TFF Dark). You don't have to do anything special to the render, just so long as you can see Chie's face and her jacket, I'll be happy. On the border, a simple outline will be fine. If you decide to make one (and you totally don't have to), I will appreciate it very much! Hope I gave you enough information to go on. ^^ I didn't know Fate had Dark Souls. Last time I talked to him, he was really into playing a Rune Factory game. He linked me a vid of himself playing, and narrated a bit on what he was doing too. "so rainbow-ey~" Haha~. x3 Pretty disgusting way of learning a moral... :/ But it's good that you can pass on your experiences so perhaps other people will be wary of such things. I know that I'm definitely going to peruse through the game manuals before I buy a used game, kiddie or not (if there is one). No worries. ^^ I should really stop talking about money issues anyway. Things aren't as bad as I probably make it seem. Oh yeah. I remember seeing that on Siliconera, I skimmed the article though, because I'm not all that interested in Teddy and Noata as characters. Where do you usually go for gaming news? Siliconera is pretty good for me, since they like to report on RPGs and other games that don't get a lot of attention on more "mainstream" sites. I used to hit up Kotaku a lot, but with all the layout changes they did, I stopped caring for 'em. Nice~ Very nice. For a "versus" theme, it's got a pretty subtle buildup, but when it gets going, it's pretty rockin!
Hm, I agree. Looks like she is offering one? ^^ Thanks for the link. Hmm. I'm not brilliant myself, but not terrible either (usually). I'll have a go at it you want. I won't be offended if you don't use it. I did my signature & avatar. If that helps. Fate like doing avatars more than me, but he's probably a little busy with Dark Souls, and school. Yeah..that wasn't the best freebie I ever got. xD You know kids, though. Wipe their noses on everything. Just don't get kiddies games second-hand is probably the moral of the story. Oh, right. >_< i had imagined you had spent a while saving for it. Sorry. :/ Hehe, you were probably tiredish. Really? I should watch it again. Talking about it reminds me I only remember about three things from it. Hmm...would be good if they did. I'm glad Japanese Teddy didn't sound so scary like he did in the Persona arena game trailers. xD Speaking of which, he got confirmed as a playable character. Will be interested to see his play style... Seems like it's needed for ze tv. All those cartoons/anime. Need more Persona...just one left I didn't watch. ^^; Hee, I know you don't play it or nuthin, but since you liked the other Blazblue track I linked, thought you might like one of the new tracks they just released. Been listening to it a lot, me likey. BBCS:EX Theme of Carl Clover VS Relius Clover~X-Matic~ - YouTube
Yeah, the steak really adds a lot to the appeal, imo. Here's the stock image too if you want a better look. :3 If Fate ever decides to run photoshop again, I'd ask him if he wouldn't mind making another avy using that render. I like the one I have now, but I wish it was slightly wider, and had a little more "pop" with the color. I suck at making my own graphics, which is kind of sad since I studied it a little in college. :I "..the manual had snot in it..." EW EW EW EWEEWEWEWEWEWEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! D: I cringed just reading that sentence, I can't imagine your reaction when you actually discovered it.... >< Stronger willed, eh? That's a nice way of saying it. I was thinking more along the lines of just plain broke. xD Hahaha... I didn't even think of that. I was racking my brains trying to come up with game titles that had OTT as the initials. Whoopsies~! ^^; I'll check out the game footage sometime. Always good to have a nice laugh. Not really a completionist, just get distracted by all the stuffs to do. :3 Yeah, Sailor Moon at the time it was first aired here in the States was pretty awesome. I still really like the character of Sailor Mercury. She had a good head on her shoulders, and seemed really sweet. ^^ Too bad once the show got more and more characters, she started to fade to the back... :/ Heh... I had a little mini-marathon of Persona 4 goodness this morning. :3 Can't wait for more episodes to come out, and I wonder if they'll get the original English voice cast for the characters when it gets dubbed? I'm glad they gave a bit of personality to the MC as well, but I don't mind the "blank slate" characters when I play games. It makes playing the game a bit more immersive, imo. Yeah, a fast connection is good for gaming....or streaming movies and shows. Tee hee~
Yer. I'm starting to like Chie a lot now. Awesome picture of her too. I like dat one. Yeah. He added at the bottom, written by Rosalyn, and Rich. It was still posted under my name as well (says it in the regular place at the top). Twas rather, but I'm not 100% surprised. seen them be pretty funny with their volunteers before. I'm not sure, either. You seemed so hype for it. :s Man, that is some rotten luck. Why can't people take care of things? Seems odd. Last time I picked up a game second-hand was Crash Team racing. I guess it belonged to some kid last becuase the manual had snot in it...yeah, never again...xD Sooo excited for Novembers games. I dunno how you can be so restrained. You're stronger willed than I am, I guess. Oh, sorry. it equals over the top. Agreed, games seem to be getting more serious as they get prettier. That's why Atelier Rorona is so awesome. I swear, there were maybe five scenes in the entire game (ignoring the ones where you hand in your assignments) that didn't at least make me smile. Recommend watching the scenes if you ever get chance. Oh. ^^; Well, it's good you don't have it. You're just a completionist? :> Glad you liked it, duder! Hehe, sailor Moon, huh? That was the first anime I ever saw, so it seemed super different. xD Think Nanako is one of the few that was better in the game, but yes, She is very cute. Had trouble not watching all four episodes today. Aw, the main character is so much better in the anime, he was really boring in the game. I guess you were supposed to put yourself in his shoes more easily since he has no personality of his own, or something. Oh, good. Sucks to have to use anything slower than broadband if you're into gaming.
Haha~ 'Twas just little ol' me. Yeah, I changed it. Felt like this fit me more than the other. Plus, Chie is awesome. :3 James Cameron lost the rights to the franchise after the second film...which is a shame because it was his idea. I guess that's showbiz for ya. So, since they basically rewritten all the article, are you still credited as the author? That's a pretty messed up way of doing things. :I I am not sure why I'm waiting. I could walk to the mall and pick up a copy, but it would suck if I make the trip and it's sold out. That tends to happen around here. Took me 3 stores to finally track down a copy of Crisis Core when it first came out. Second-hand games have come to me in a variety of conditions. Mostly good, but some are a different matter entirely. One doesn't have a case (just an envelop type of thing...). Quite a few have no manuals, and one game doesn't work at all. I can't take that one back either because it was a Christmas gift, and I waited too long to get around to try and play it (it's Godhand, btw). The good experiences far outweigh the bad though, so I'm okay with it. I'll have to go back and watch his Saint's Row review. Been meaning to hit up the site anyway. ^^ What's OTT? I'm drawing a blank as to what that stands for. Haha~ That's hilarious. xD Glad to hear it's more comical. Ridiculousness should be embraced in games, since they're a nice escapism tool. Yeah, that's pretty much it. So much to do, I get a little anxious about what I should do next. ^^; Too many lurkers. A lot of our long-time vets are probably tired of posting about the same stuff. Plus, I'm pretty sure most of the interactivity between members happen in MSN convos. Ah well. Such is the way it goes. I don't really have ADD, or at least I was never properly diagnosed as having it. I just like to joke that I have it, because it gives me an excuse as to why I get distracted in games. ;p Thanks for the link~! I'll have to watch it. Edit: Wow. Not too shabby. Not too shabby at all. I like the redesigns of the characters quite a bit, and the show itself seems pretty interesting to me so far. Will have to hunt down the rest of the eps. soon. :3 Yeah, I can see how a lot of anime would seem the same after a while. A lot of shows I used to really enjoy seem that way to me now (Sailor Moon being the biggest offender). It was good for it's time though. ^^ As for my favorites now: Cowboy Bebop, most anything Studio Ghibli makes, a few Satoshi Kon films (namely Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers), Fruit's Basket, Peach Girl (it's fluff, but enjoyable fluff nonetheless! :3), and Escaflowne. I also catch a few abridged series on Youtube (mostly DragonBall Z and Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged). They're hilarious~! xD You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I was really surprised at the quality of the animation. Looks pretty fluid to me. I can't wait for the other episodes to air. :3 I didn't get to experience Persona 4 in game form, so when I heard it was getting an anime adaptation, I was hoping it would be a good substitute. I highly enjoy it so far. ^^ Nanako is very cute, and the main character is pretty nice looking too~ Tee hee! I dunno. I have a wireless connection, and I think sometimes it just gets disrupted somehow? When it works, it works really well, so I can't complain too much. ^^
Dodie is wearing new colours! I was like...oooo, "who posted on my profile" for a second. x3 I guess the newer ones weren't worth rememberin? Yeah, they just went ahead and deleted everything apart from the contents of the special editions and the banner I made. They actually added in an error, so I got a smile out of that. I wouldn't have minded so much if they hadn't taken a chipper post and made it into something miserable (and fairly stupid). I wondered why they would do that. These guys know their stuff, so moans must be what people want to read? The way you put it makes sense. That must be why they did it. Are you waiting on Batman to pop in second-hand? You're safe with second hand games, right? I people probably wouldn't put a disc someplace strange...? I hope? ...*shudders* Man, that sucks. I hope you can experience that new-game smell more often in the future. It is like GTA, yeah. But as Yartzee (spelt?) says, they seem to have a better understanding of their target audience than Rockstar did. It's far more OTT than GTA. You can do things like run up to a pedestrian, smack them in the face, then strike a pose. xD No, I don't think you have mentioned that before. But my memory stinks. Because there's so much to do, huh? Thank you, thank you. <3 Naww, never did. They changed it from Demon's souls to it's hard to meet friends in-game. Real shame. Loved co-op with friends on Demon's Souls. Yeah...it's strange. This place has a ton of members, and says plenty of them are active, but not many new posts seem to get made? Okay, you already answered my question on sandboxes. xD (never reads whole replies, just goes straight into replying by section). ADD...geez. A lot of people seem to either have ADD, or OCD. Sorry you got ADD, must be a pain. :/ An extra big pain if t means you can't play something that looks so ridiculous yet very fun. Can't say I was into the original myself. I think it was episode 8 I watched. It was super. Maybe I should watch more cartoons. If you wanna be silly and dip in at 8 like I did - Thundercats (2011) Episode 8 - YouTube I hope you enjoy it if you do watch it! I used to watch a lot of anime, but a lot of them started to seem kinda similar...there are still some I love, like Azumaga Daioh. Do you have a favourite? Is that in English!? Man, you are my hero now, haha. Thank youuuuuuuu! *snuggles* <3 Edit: wow! That was awesome! So well done. It's similar to the game, only I think it's better so far. The characters seem more likeable. Especially Youske and Chie. Definitely gonna watch this all the way through. Thanks again! They even use the same music...<3 Wow, girl! Your internet isn't boardband, I take it? :/
I think the third film and the tv series had lady terminators. I watched snippets of the film and I vaguely remember a leather-clad lady bent on killing the mains, but I never watched the show. They changed it? Without asking you or anything? That's some "Big Brother" shite right there. I guess the site is hopping aboard the caustic critic train. Seems quite a few sites do that so readers will get into heated arguments with other commentors. More activity=more monies, unless you have ad-blocker, then they don't get anything. I appreciate your sympathy~ ^^ I have a few second-hand games, though most of 'em I have because I can't find a new copy of a game I want. I would definitely much rather open up a new package (with that glorious new game smell~ Mmmm!) than mess with one that only Lord knows who or what touched it. :U I'd go with Saints Row as well. It seems like it'd be a great time-sink. It's basically a more gritty GTA type of game, right? Except you can do a lot more crazy stuff. I glanced at some news here and there, though I don't usually do those sand-box type of games. It's a little overwhelming for me. Have a mentioned that before? I had a sense of déjà vu come over me just now. I guess I could re-read the past messages, but I'm lazy. Congrats on your victory~! One game down....only 234645 more to go! No, but srsly, way to go~ Especially on a challenging game like that. Did you ever get to play with other TFFers (or anyone in general)? That Dark Souls thread had quite a few responses to it. Glad to see it generate some good activity. The site could really use it. (not that I'm helping much on that front... ^^; ) For real... I don't really play those types of games, but I just know that I would get so lost and a bit overwhelmed. Sandbox types like that have a lot of stuff to do, which is great, but I think my ADD would go into overdrive-mode and I'd be all like "LETS GO SEE ALL THE THINGS!!!!11!!" xDDDD I haven't seen the new episodes. I wasn't too much of a fan of the original run, but if you say it's good, then perhaps I'll check it out sometime. ^^ I'm sure there are some episodes lurking on the internets. Speaking of animation, do you like anime at all? I'm watching Persona 4: The Animation now. Here's a link to first episode if you're interested~ I definitely had my rage face going when my message wasn't sending. ^^; I hate technology sometimes, but only for a little bit and then I get back to loving it again. :3
*in Arnie's voice* That information is classified. Are there any girl terminators? I can only remember the first two films. That's maybe for the best, I made my first post on their new site and they totally changed. It was just supposed to be short and informative since it was just announcing the FF XIII-2 special editions + pre-order bonuses, but they decided they'd rather have a post that was a long moan about pre-order bonuses, of all things. I wasn't too impressed. Even when I'm writing about things I don't like I prefer to not sound like a total grump. Oh, I'm kinda okay with that...I feel bad for people who like to buy second-hand becuase they can't afford games first hand, though. That whole new thing about stopping games being picked up second hand seems a bit much. Thanks, ha. Only trouble is - Saints Row and Marvel are out on the same day. Dunno what to play first! I'll probably take a glance at Saints, then go to Marvel. Just beat Dark Souls. Not as good as Demon's Souls imo. Still an alright game, though. People keep going on about that, but I'm ignoring it. ^^; I do like some WRPGs, yes. Are you interested in it? We're both lazy. :3 Man, have you seen the new Thundercats? I dipped in at the last episode not really expecting much from it, but it was really good! Very well done. Enjoyed it a lot. Gotta recommend it! It's fine, it seemed kind of amusing. I had this cartoony image of somebody attacking the button becuase it didn't instantly send. heh.
Maybe you are some kind of android... Or a TERMINATOR! O_o Are you on a mission to find John Connor? I suppose you don't really know until you try, but I think I'll still give it a pass. I do appreciate the offer though. ^^ Well, if you buy the game new, the game comes with a code that you can use to download Catwoman, so you technically aren't paying extra. Methinks that was done so people won't wait until used copies start popping up, and the game makers can make their profit. Nice picks! I noticed no mention of Skyrim though. Loads of people are so excited for that game. Are you into WRPGs at all? My older bro loved one of those Elder Scrolls games, though I can't for the life of me think which one it was (it was on the PS3). He also really liked Fallout 3. Dunno if he got into New Vegas, but I'd be money that he did. Haha. You sound like me. Takes me ages to finally crawl out of bed. When my alarm goes off, I hit it like 5 times before I'm like "okay FINE! I'm getting up now! ><" Been ages since I had to be up at 7 in the morning...that's too early madam! I might try and push for 9 am though....or maybe 9:30... Yeah...sorry about that. My connection gets wonky at times, and I get really impatient and keep hitting the send button.
Heyy, you'll make me sound like the metal woman. xD Hmmm, but I thought the same thing, and now I write for one of the UK's best known video games journalists (I didn't actually know I'd be writing for him, I just got lucky xD). I think you could do a good job, you seem opinionated. All I did was some internet research on writing, and tried to think what other people and myself want when they go to read a review. Is it something you would be interested in doing? I could ask if they want any more bodies for you. Dunno if they would send review copies to America, but you never know. Hey, you were excited to see the game, I think it's cool you could get so excited. But it probably would have been better to wait... Oh, so you gotta pay for Cat Woman? It's really annoying they keep making you pay for content that's ready on release day/ they could have slapped on the disc. I certainly do got some awesome friends, yes. <3 Hm, did you just call yourself awesome? ^^ Hehe. Ha, doesn't it just. Kinda scary, huh? Man, money is that bad? So sorry to hear that. :/ Saints Row: the third (can't wait, looks so funny when you get to the free-roaming parts), Metal Gear HD collection, and Ultimate Marvel vs capcom 3. I had been looking at getting Sonic Generations as well, but I tried the demo yesterday, and that kinda put me off. Guess I'll have to wait until December for Uncharted if she does get me it. Might also get Batman. Gonna wait until more footage of it comes out, and I've finished more games. Most mornings I wake up at about seven, but usually it takes me at least an hour to bother getting out of bed. ^^; I'm trying to get myself to not be so slow to rise. You should try it. The earlier I manage to drag myself out of bed the fresher I seem to feel. Hehe, you been spamming the 'post message' button?
You don't take bathroom breaks? You must have a steel bladder to go along with those nerves of yours. I don't think I have the writing skills to be any kind of journalist. I wouldn't even know where to start with something like that, but a pretty sweet suggestion nonetheless. ^^ Heh, yeah... In hindsight, that was a really dumb thing to stay up so late just for that, especially when I can just go back and watch the recorded stream anytime. ^^; I was really excited to see the game in action though, and I doubt I could have slept anyway. 11:30 is a pretty decent time. It's not too early anyway. The opening was pretty sweet, I must say. I am sort of bummed that you have to download the Catwoman chapters, which make up ~10% of the story (or so I heard). I thought she was going to be included in the game proper, since there was a lot of hype for it. Ah well. You have awesome friends! And oh gosh... It's getting to be that time of year again. Holidays are coming~! Time flies so fast. Heh, 4 games in a month is a pretty good limit, though I'm probably lucky to get that many in a year. Which titles are you thinking of picking up? Wow, you really are an early bird. Not a bad thing in the slightest, btw. ^^
