Yeah, I think I'll stick with my classic PS2 release. It's doing me well so far, though I do have some questions: Like, Seymour is an unsent now, so can he still become a Final Aeon? If not, then his plan sucks. Also, to become a Final Aeon, the summoner and guardian need a strong bond. HOw is Seymour gonna get that from Yuna? Even if she does marry him, she won't have those feelings for him like that... His plan still sucks. He didn't think this thing through. Heh, I don't doubt that (the controls). Wii motion sensing is all over the place sometimes... Even with the Motion Plus controller, I kept having to recalibrate the thing. Not good in the middle of battle... Oh well. Still had fun with Skyward Sword. Is it some kind of racist for me to say that all English accents sound pretty much the same to me? I guess I haven't really heard too many variations though... Hmm, maybe I'll check out some Fragile Dreams scenes on Youtube. I can't remember the last game I played that had limited inventory. Maybe Mother 3, but I barely used items in that game anyway, so I didn't notice. ^^;
Aw, that don't sound too good. :/ Oh right. Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter is an old game now. Aw but X HD will be coming out! Then again, you're probably not gonna pick that one up, ay? Will do! It came in the post this morning. The classic controller I ordered on the same day didn;t, but I'll probably just start it with the Wii remote (apparently it controls way better with the classic pad). Oh, it'll be funny playing a JRPG with southern English accents. xD Hopefully they won't re-dub it for the American release, you guys should have to put up with our accents for a change! Normally with American dubs they seem to put people without strong accents, but for these JRPGs that are coming out here first they seem to be picking people with pretty strong ones. You can play it with Japanese audio, but gonna leave the dubs on for this, haha. Hopefully they won't pick that kind of accent for Pandora's Tower though, that one looks too serious for those kinds of accent. Oh yeah, and Fragile Dreams is good (still not finished it). The scenes are really good, anyways. It can be pretty annoying in terms of gameplay since your inventory is waay to small so you end up doing a lot of backtracking to save points which is the only place where you can really sort bag problems out. That gets frustrating pretty fast when you wanna get on with things. It also suffers from the dreaded weapon breaking problem. It is worth the money for the scenes though. Pretty sad stuff, mind!
Yeah. I remember last year during the hot summer months I would lay on the floor to try and get cool. Hopefully it doesn't get as hot this year, but I'll live. I always make it through. Well, I was talking about the bunny game where your avy came from, but cool that you've found a game that is challenging for you. Finally, eh? xD Oh well. They picked the wrong side to be on then. Nah, you don't have to bother with it. I'll find some vids sometime soon. ^^ It's fun playing through some of your older gems anyway. That's what I'm doing with FF X. Not gonna do a complete run though. Just in it for the story. :3 Tell me if you enjoy the Xenoblade game. I'm sure it'll be a long one, being an RPG and all. Good luck and have funtimes~!
Do you find your own weather unBEARably hot sometimes? (sorry, that was a serious question, despite the bear part. ) Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter? Probably becuase it was "too hard" supposedly. Other people think "too hard" but for me it's more like "Hu hu hurrr, don't think you've seen the last of me, game!" Naw, twooth. <3 But you do kill, you starve them to death. :< Ugh, I dunno...that sounds like it could be way too much for my heart-strings too... Heehee. ^^ Yeah, I wudda and everything, but it's like they're trying to kill this collection now. They've been heard now...the new voices for Silent Hill 3... At first the new ones sound fine, but it's just to lure you into a false sense of security as they soon plummet to the poo-side. Sounds pretty rushed. Nail is in the coffin now. (actually it doesn't sound half as offensive today? Same happened with the SH2 dub, maybe the brain needs time to adjust to the new? They're definitely a lot cheaper actors though) Gonna play through the PS2 game again instead. It's gonna look much better with the decent component cables I brought the other month anyway. Might record it, but dunno if there's any point? There's probably a ton of SH3 playthroughs on YouTube already (although they probably do have annoying on half). Would still record fer sure if you wanted to see it on the PS2. Anyways, went and ordered Xenoblade Chronicles instead for the same price to make me feel better. Time to see what all the fuss was about!
Nothing happened that I can think of, other than the weather being so nice. We really didn't get much winter this year. Not that I'm complaining. I just hope it doesn't become unbearably hot soon. ^^; Well, it didn't take me too long to update the thing, since I really own a handful of games now. I did add some that were formerly owned as well, just to keep track of my gaming experience. Drawing a blank on some of the things I've played for some reason. ^^; I guess my brain is an "out of sight, out of mind" type. I have never heard of that game before. Maybe looks neat though. ^^ Aww, shucks. You flatter me. :3 Nah, I don't usually kill unless I have to....or I become too impatient to do the mission using stealth. So, yeah, I'm a bully. I'd say it's worth a watch, mostly if you're curious about how life was for people in Japan after WWII. It follows two kids, and they try their hardest to make the best of things. So... If that sounds like you'd be interested, I say go for it. Just be sure to have a couple of boxes of tissues handy when you do. Yeah, I'll still watch. Didn't mean to insinuate that you HAD to have commentary or anything. I'm down for whatever you feel like recording. :3 Eesh... That is not good business practice. I would totally hold off until the price dropped. That's just me though. I'm a cheapskate no matter when the release happens.
Hee, thank you for the vote of confidence, again. ^^ Yeah, what we need is some kind of confidence mirror so we can reflect it back at you. Heh, nice one! You sounded happier in the last two messages. Think it's related, or did something good happen? ^^ Yeah, there's pretty much no way a normal person could be bothered unless they added two games per day, or something. Haha, good luck deciding in that case! Nah, too lazy to make animations (plus I think I might have forgotten how). That's an an animation of Vib-Ri the rabbid you play as in the game Vib-Ribbion. Such a simple but awesome game...maybe that should have been my pick for underrated game... Ah, but the shades you picked seemed perfect! Plus the composition is really good. Maybe you just have a natural eye for it, but oyu should be chuffed. ^^ But...THEIR FAMILIES! Haha, that Peace Walker trophy (the one for killing nobody) was cake for me since I usually trank everybody anyway, but I guess it would have been tough for a bully like you, huh. xD Wow, cry even AFTER the film is over? You've out-done me, sir! Never had that happen...should I dare watch that film? Hahaha, there's no way I'd play it on Very Easy mode. x3 Yeah, only smelly people talk over the scenes. Aw, I thought you were gonna watch even if it had no voice. Hopefully my voice will stand up to the challenge, it's really wussy sounding so gonna have to try and speak up if my PC is tamed in time. Just nine days until release now! Edit: oh jeez....Konami Europe has done it AGAIN and moved the release date back to March 30th. Coz, you know, we're not allowed to get a Konami game first. Should probably be grateful to still be getting it in the same month. Might even just cancel it and wait for a price drop now tbh. Wasn't terribly impressed by some things I read in a review today and all this dicking around is a bit much.
Only if it's interfering with their normal functions would I think that something like that would need to be stopped. If you're doing it for fun, and you enjoy it, doesn't matter how many you get. :3 Just don't let it become an obsession to the point it becomes the ONLY thing you do. I don't foresee that happening though. ^^ I am the confidence maker! Now if I can just do it for myself, I'll be in business. I did pretty good today. Started back on my piano practice, and told myself to not get back online until the evening. Granted, I also had a nap which passed a lot of the time....but it's a start. ^^ But yeah, it's hard to break, for the very reason you mentioned. Haha, I can imagine how much work it would take just to organize your collection into something like that. ^^; Nice page though. I should get me a banner and avy for the site, but I'm drawing a blank on what I want...again! xD I'm a fickle one when it comes to that. Speaking of new avatars, I've noticed yours is quite different. Did you do that animation? It's cool. ^^ Yeah, the backgrounds aren't really anything special. Just gradients and brushwork slapped on to make it a little more visually appealing. Gotta start somewhere though! Thank you for the nice words. Heh, maybe one day I'll get work designing greeting cards! Yeah, I know. I should be ashamed, but I'm not. >:3 On the battlefield, its kill or be killed! Fight or die! Gotta make you're own kind of fun in situations like that. Oh yeah. Me brains aren't what they used to be. Looked up some more info on wiki, and a lot of reviewers said it had more style than substance. I also read this: Bitmob writer Jasmine Rea called the game an "experience rather than a game" and cited that it had an emotional impact similar to that of Isao Takahata's adaptation of Akiyuki Nosaka's novel Grave of the Fireflies "Emotional impact similar to..Grave of the Fireflies"... I dunno if my heart could take that kind of sadness. That was a hard movie to watch. Cried so much after it was over... T^T I don't think it makes much of a difference to me. Just don't go for super easy, or you might get some trolls commenting how much you suck because you're playing on easy. :/ And I don't think it's bad if there's gaps in commentary, especially when there's a cinematic playing (pretty sure you wouldn't talk during something like that anyway). Just have fun! And if you do an LP in the near future, I'll definitely watch! Best of luck if you do. :3
Indeed. They probably figured they could catch a bigger break this way though. You don't think there should come a point when a person put their foot down? xD Maybe? You seem sure, which inspires confidence. Internet addiction is probably the hardest to break, huh? :/ I've broken the gaming one before, but internet seems impossible when ya got some really great buds online to talk with. Aaaah, backloggery! Had a quick look at yours. Your total count means it should be pretty easy for you to finish all of your games at least, right? :3 I have one too, but it's pretty out of date now (plus I was too lazy to add even half of my games in the first place) ~ HappyCake's Backloggery. Waah, you do the backgrounds too? "pretty good?" Don't you think that's a pretty big understatement? Your banner is awesome! Great work, Dodie! For a second (becuase it was actually early when I wrote this and saved it in notepad) I forgot what I was looking at and thought I'd opened some design to go on a card. It looks really pro. <3 Aw, that's so mean! They have families you know? Yeah, silly sally! That's the game I mentioned I was gonna get the other day. It looks like a JRPG in the sense that they look like anime people, but it plays more like a survival horror. ^^ Hm, I should have read my emails with a bit more care. Seems they charged for the game and didn't send it out. Pretty weak. Hey, I want your opinion, please! Are playthroughs/Let's plays more entertaining when the player goes through on higher difficulties, or does it make no difference? Also, do you think it would be bad if there was a let's play with big gaps between the gamer saying anything? There's a chance I might be able to stop my PC being silly, but can't imagine I'd be able to keep blathering on and on like most people.
Oh man. That's lame. I doubt most gamers care if a game gets released on it's anniversary...especially a collection like that. Nah, as long as you're having a good time, get all dem platties that you want! Yeah, that's kind of steep for as little time that you spend with the doctor. If you feel there's no reason to go, then save your monies. ^^ You seem to be doing great with your exercises on your own time. I bet that helps more than a chiropractor would do for you now. Ick, maybe... I never thought of it like that. I know my neck and shoulders hurt quite a bit after a while of computering, so I'm working to not be on it so much so I don't wind up hurting myself. It's sooo hard to break the addiction though. ^^; Hah, sorry. I will try and think of something more fun. I registered some of my games at a site called The Backloggery! This will help me keep motivated to finish up the ones that aren't completed, and also keeps track of my wishlist! I dunno how good it'll be for me, but it's worth a shot. :3 I'm Dodie16 on there if you want to see my stuffs, but don't expect to be blown away or anything. I made a thing for a friend! It's a FB Banner for his timeline. He likes foxes, so I tried my hand at chibi fox character. It turned out pretty good for me. ^^ He liked it a lot too. :3 xD I can't help but bully them. They have such awesome reactions. Did you know if you destroy thier food surplus in MGS 3 that they'll complain that they're hungry sometimes during the game? It's also a great way to have them eat spoiled food if you lay it out for 'em, if you're going for a more peaceful playthrough (i.e. no kills). Have I heard of Fragile Dreams? It sort of sounds familar... JRPG? Glad you're enjoying it at any rate. :3 So many games, so little time, eh?
Not really sure about any of that stuff to be honest, it's just something I read. When they come over to Europe they need more subtitles added (like German ect.) and sometimes voices + localization. But in this day and age the European releases are usually later the same week. Back in the day we would sometimes have to wait for months and months for our versions to release. Apparently they actually delayed the MGS collection here becuase they decided they wanted it to come out for the anniversary for the series. >_> Haha, thanks. Gonna have to start taking it easy on the plats becuase it is getting kinda silly now. Hmm...it would probably be a smart move, but doubt that I will. ^^; It was something like £20 for a session (which usually lasted between 5-10 minuets). Got a bit of a computer posture? Hmm...yoga probably would be a smart thing for me to try. Nah, never even heard of it but it does sound barf-worthy. Bleh, this is a pretty depressing topic. :< Heh, you soldier bully. x3 Played an hour of Fragile Dreams. It was really good so far! Apparently it starts off well but then turns pretty bad, but we'll see. Heehee, and Street Fighter x Tekken got sent out early so that'll be here on the same day it releases in America/tomorrow. Exciting gaming times ahead this week. <3
I didn't know an actor still had rights to the work they did. I figured once you got paid for you job, the company gets to do whatever they want with it. I suppose that's why a lot of voice actors are in unions and such so that they still get their fair share. That's weird when games get such drastic differences in release dates, especially when the countries are english speaking. Maybe there's a difference in localization or something. *shrugs* Well, at least you have the option to import. :3 Moar games sooner! And congrats on yet another plat. Maybe someday a game will come along that actually presents a challenge for you. Yeah, that's a good call. Don't want to waste your time and money on something that isn't benefiting you anymore. Do you think you'll ever go back for a quick check up though? I'm sure since you're taking care of yourself so well, you don't have to worry about it, but I'm just curious. My posture could use some improvement, but I don't think it's terrible or anything. Yoga just stretches you out and makes everything feel so inline. It's a good feeling. ^^ I've heard on MSN a while back of an 8 year old who got botox... I didn't read the article, I was too ashamed. She may have been one of those pageant girls. I dunno if you ever watched the show "Toddlers and Tiaras", but if you haven't, don't start now. WTF moments make it memorable, but what makes it fun is being able to sneak around and mess with enemy soldiers. >:3
Oh, it's becuase they were in legal trouble with one of Silent Hill 2's original voice actors. They had already used his voice without consent, so he was kicking up some fuss. Anyway, he isn't a bad guy, he gave permission for them to use his voice for free because he wanted the fans to be happy. So yeah, since they didn't expect him to be so nice, they just went and re-dubbed the game...(badly). See, thing is, this is entirely being handled by Konami America and they clearly don't know what the fudge their up to. Could be worse though, could be Konami Europe. Then we would have gotten the collection next year. MGS HD collection only came out here about two weeks ago, and apparently it has glitched trophies... so glad I imported it last year. Speaking of which, I got the MGS3 platinum.The game is very short when you know what you're doing. :< At first it was once a week, but after a year or so it changed until eventually it was once a month becuase it wasn't so needed. It seems to stop having much effect after a long time, so it started to seem like a waste of money and I stopped going. Thank yew. <3 Oh yeah? Will have to look into Yoga! Are you saying your spine isn't straight too? Man...that is sad. :/ We gonna have nine year old girls wanting surgery? Do you want a bigger bust for the same reason? :s Please learn to like what you have because I'm sure it's great. ^^ WTF-ery is great. The snake was just kinda dumb. Aren't the WTF moments a big part of why MGS is fun?
Oh man, that would have been so cool if it came out in October, since the holiday and all. The 20th of March will be here before ya know it, then you can dive into some SH goodness...again! Some other game was late with the Trophy list too..can't for the life of me think of what it was though.. ^^; No, I didn't know about the drama... Mostly because I"m not on the up and up on gaming news like I used to be. ^^; Can't imagine the reason for really changing the voice/music tracks if the originals are being kept in... Maybe for clearer audio? I dunno. Game designers make some pretty interesting decisions sometimes... Maybe they cleaned up the streets to make a good impression on future tree-huggers? Lol, I'm kidding. Yeah, stuff like that makes a place seem a lot more atmospheric. If you take it out, it looks more "sterile". When you went to the chiropractor for those couple of years, was it a monthly thing or something? Or did you have to go a lot more/less? I can imagine straightening out a spine would require a lot of pressure to be placed on a person, and not very comfortable at all. Good on ya for all your progress. These Yoga exercises are supposed to help align your back, so I'll probably just keep working on those...when I get more batteries for my Wii balance board, that is. ^^; What's really sad is that girls are developing body issues at a younger and younger age. Heh, your friend sounds a lot like me some days. I'd like a bigger chest too, but I'm learning to like what I have. I'm sure guys have their own issues as well, but they're not as vocal about them. Sign of weakness and all that. Yeah, the snake thing was kind of narmy...but the ending was so moving that it didn't really take away the impact. Plus, there's all kinds of WTF-ery things that happen in the series. The snake thing is probably one of the least "huh?" inducing things compared to some of the others.
One of the delays was probably for the reason you thought. Originally it was gonna come out in October or something, but a lotta stuff was coming out late Oct & early November. One will be becuase they managed to get all the original voice actors to sign off on their voices being used for SH2. But as for the rest...who can say! They've been ever so quiet. It's supposed to be out on the 20th of March, but we still only heard one characters voice from Silent Hill 3, and no trophy list yet. Must have been. :s It was confusing that people complained about what seemed like an amazing collection, but the frame drops really were terrible. Worse than any in FF13. They have dubbed Silent Hill 3 becuase supposedly they couldn't find one of the original voice actors (even though some small site journalist tracked her down for an interview in January...). Dunno if you know about all the drama with the new voices on SH2, but people were not happy after hearing them. Not surprised they're being very protective over the SH3 ones. Thankfully, enough fuss was made so there's now the option to have the game in the original voices for SH2 (but yeah, still not for 3). They didn't just re-do the voices on 2 though, if you select for the new soundtrack it also has different music. ;_; The worst part (?) is possibly the graphical changes they made (just becuase they could?). There's a scene at the very start with strange looking light fog, in the collection it's suddenly at night time, the background has been changed, the fog is different, and the ****ing streets have been CLEANED up (as in litter and dirt has been removed from the ground). One thing about Silent Hill is that it's SUPPOSED to look dirty. Dirty is gross. So what the **** do they think they're doing by cleaning up the streets? Silent Hill is basically a work of art, and they're messing with it. It's very annoying if you're a fan. Haha, that's true. There really are a lot of temptations on that site. ^^; Thank you. <3 I went to a Chiropractor for a couple of years. It isn't very pleasant, but it seems to have worked well, considering. They poke you ( ) pretty hard, and they have this little metal thing that kinda punches into you (hurts like a bitch when they use it on your neck). One time the guy started poking around on the weak side of my tummy, and it felt like his hand was going through into my insides...it was weird and crazy painful, but thankfully he only did it that one time. Don't really understand how it works at all, so that's all I can tell you, sorry. It's a very strange business though. Probably wouldn't hurt you half as much since you're normal. Oh yeah, I probably made it sound like I got a freaky body, but it has come a long way, and it doesn't actually look that strange back there anymore. The left side of my back is actually kinda beautiful, imo. xD But no no no no no no no, don't be thinking about something so extreme becuase you have a bit of bone sticking out. :s Yeah...if only there was something that could be done to help all the woman like that. Really breaks my heart. The human body is so beautiful, but so many girls would go to extremes like surgery to change theirs. And there are just so many unhealthy attitudes about. Like the other day a friend made it clear she thought breast size was attached to womanly, and becuase hers were small, that must mean she's masculine....this is, like...the most girly girl that I know. Do you think guys will go the same way eventually? It was pretty darned good. The bit where the bosses scar turned into a snake was terrible, but overall it was good. Had to fight back the tears too. xD Such a good game. <3 Sorry, this one is pretty long. Possibly a bit of a ramble. ^^;
Hmm, that's really odd. Wonder what was up with all the delays? Maybe because 2011 was so strong with big releases, that they figured they would get more cash if they held off until later (when people have more money in their pockets). That's a pretty big glitch... Were the QA testers sleeping during that part? I never had any problems with my copy like that. Granted, I bought mine used, so if something like that did ever happen, I would have chalked it up to poor disk care or something. They made changes to the first game to accommodate for whatever happened in the collection? I hate retcons... If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :/ Heh, I know. Might be a blessing though. It's so easy to look through sites like that and find a crap load of stuff that I don't need. ^^; Good luck to ya. Hope you see some results. And yeah, I have no idea what "gunk" was supposed to mean either... >< Doesn't sound too pleasant though. Aww... I'm sorry you had to go through something like that... Glad to hear that things are a lot better for you though. What kind of treatment did you have to go through? I thought about getting a backbrace to see if it would help with my back. My backbone sticks out...but people have told me it might just be because I'm skinny. Well, methinks more ladies would feel more comfortable in thier skin if there wasn't so much pressure from society to have the perfect body, whatever that is. I have my own issues, so I can't really blame 'em. But I agree...sadtimes... Nice~! How did you like the ending? I teared up...granted it doesn't take much for me to get the waterworks going, but damn, that was a shock to the system. Heh, and don't worry about feeling like a dummy. I put a lot of things off for whatever reason, then once I get around to watching/playing/listening to whatever, I'm like "Why didn't I do this sooner???"
