Oh yeah, guess that would be the problem with walkthroughs. >_< There's no way they ran out of disc space. They're really just that cheap. Maybe they'll announce another one with SH4 and Origins. >_> Konami have been really crappy recently come to think of it. They delayed the SH collection SIX times. They just delayed the Zone of the Enders one to Autumn, and towards the end of MGS3 it became apparent why people complained about the MGS collection. There are a lot of pretty nasty frame drops, saw a graphical error where somebody lost half their face for a scene (forget who), and the audio skipped during a different scene. Never played MGS3 past the start on the PS2, but I'm guessing there wasn't so many problems with it before? Then there's the dumb changes they made with Silent Hill for the collection, but I'll stop rattling on about it now. Shame you can't shop online, even the real oldies are usually pretty easy to pick up on Amazon. Think it will be fine since it's only three days a week? Gonna try it anyways. Yeah, dread to think exactly what he meant by "the gunk" of the human body though, ew. xD That's right. Hahahahaha >//< NO! That is not a good look for a lady. :s Only a handful of people know this about me but I have scoliosis., it has made my muscles grow abnormally in my back. The left side of my lower back is freakishly strong/dense muscle, whilst the lower right looks as though there's some missing (almost like the left leeched from the right). It may be impossible, but a big part of why I am so keen to gain muscle is becuase I would like to repair some of the damage done now that my spine is a lot straighter (thanks to treatment). That and my body looked so feeble before, it's not good to look so vulnerable. Don't get me wrong though, I love my body, despite its flaws. If only more girls loved their bodies, but for some reason they all seem so darned insecure over them. Sad times. Me beated Metal Gear 3! Got lucky and achieved all the gold trophies too. Such a good game. Feel like a real dummy for putting it off for so long.
That's true. I watched a bioshock 2 walkthrough, but they pretty much blitzed through the game... Didn't even pick up a lot of the audio tapes, much less listen to 'em. :/ Oh well, shouldn't complain over something that I watched for free, really. When people are essentially "talking to themselves" and feel they have to be entertaining for their faceless audience, I think that's what causes most people to be annoying. Yeah... That's not really a collection... More like a double pack. Maybe they didn't have enough disk space? I bet my money on the "tight bastards" comment though. Yeah, it was interesting seeing titles that I wasn't too familiar about. :3 I'm sure I'd have to really dig around to find some of those...mostly the JRPGs. Those aren't too big in my neck of the woods, unless they're mainstream (like FF). That sounds like a good way to strain/damage your muscles... I'm more of a 'slow and steady wins the race' type of gal, but if it works, more power to the people who try it out. The "never sit for a whole hour" tip seems legit though. Maybe I should start doing some light exercises every hour on the hour for a few minutes. At the very least it'll kick start my energy levels. You've got toned abs and a slender build, right? Are you wanting to look like a body builder type? I'm joking, but I think as long as you feel good, then you're doing just fine. I can understand wanting to see actual physical results with all that work that you put in.
Maybe next time? I believe in you. ^^ Oooooh, right! That never dawned on me. ^^; That is kinda cool. It might be better searching up walkthroughs, those usually spare you from the dreaded commentary problem. Really though, why do 90% of those get done with people that have annoying voices? You don't encounter many people with annoying voices in the street. Do some people just sound more annoying when you can't see them? Only two and three are in the collection, how cheap is that? A lot of people complained since 4 and Origins are also PS2 games. They could have at least put in a download code for the first game, those tight bastards. Thank you! Guess that's to be expected when I own so many. Did it make you feel like looking into more different games? ^^ Haha, but that just shows you really love those games, right? :3 Heehee, I'm glad. ^^ Ah, you always give the same story on that front. xD Hmmm....nope! It's good to do that anyway, of course. Apparently the intensity of your work out is more important than the quantity. What they say to do it get on an exercise bike and pedal AS FAST AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN for twenty seconds, pause for a breather, do another twenty seconds, pause, then do a final twenty. Do that three times a week and apparently it's as effective at shifting fat to your muscles (which is where you want it to be for it to get burned off) as several hours in the gym. :s Carries on.... They didn't say how much it would do for changing your shape, however. Apparently there are several ways your body deals with fat, sometimes it will move it to the expected/healthy fat deposits (like your ass ), but sometimes it will stuff it in around your organs (which is bad, obviously). It says that when you're moving about an enzyme is produced which causes your body to send any fat to the muscles which is the place it'll get burned off the easiest. So it's good to walk before you eat something fatty. ^^ The best thing you can do is walk around as much as possible, one scientist type said you should never sit for a whole hour. Saying that the "gunk" of the body starts to collect if you sit for too long, ew. Even just standing is much better than sitting. Oh, and apparently genetics play a huge role in how your body responds to exercise. Some people's bodies barley respond at all. :| Explains mine.
Well, I have tried, but failed, so I did it the easy way and altered the PS2 clock. You can also have him eat spoiled rations and it'll end the fight eventually. Guess that stuff doesn't matter to ya, since you can take him on in a fairer fight. I like them because of their character tics, also they're supposed to represent the emotions felt in battle. I like personifications of concepts like that, even if a majority of the confrontations were essentially filler. Still entertaining though. Well, once you beat the game, it'll make a lot of sense to ya. I watched a bit of a playthrough of the first game. Didn't get too far though. Just some part about finding keys. I didn't care for the commentary... Heh, that seems to be a problem I have with a lot of playthroughs... WHat all games are in the Silent HIll HD collection? I could google it instead of asking, lol, but I am lazy. Congrats on finishing the challenge! You played so many games that I barely heard of...or never experienced. That's awesome that you had a lot variety though. I feel like I talk about the same games over and over again. ^^; Aww, it's not a problem at all. :3 I like our conversations. And I'm keeping well enough. No real complaints, but nothing too interesting going on to talk about either... ^^; 3 minutes a week... I bet you really have to watch your diet in order for that to have any kind of effect, but I'll be interested to hear about it if you decide to watch.
Aww...I bet you could. He actually falls asleep sometimes, ya know? Plus it is easy to spot him becuase he leaves the cap off his scope so the sun catches it (and this guy is supposed to be the father of sniping?). Not at all! The game is so fun, it'll be my pleasure to play it through two, even three times! Why do you like them? Because they are unusual? They're kinda cool in a funny kinda way...but they really are a bunch of freaks. Oh right, did I forget a major plot twist in one of the other games? They talk so much that at times it's all in one ear and out the other. ^^; Thank ya, anyway. :3 Yeah. ;_; No worries! We'll remedy that with the HD collection. ^^ Oh, the first one is pretty darned good too. Back in the day it was AMAZING, it won awards for its graphics as well. That's pretty funny, when you load it up now it hasn't aged well for a PS1 game. For some reason some of the walls look as though they're wobbling at times + they look paper thin. xD Hmmm...multi endings. <3 Yep! Today is the big day! Numbah three-oh, baby! Um, Dodie? I know this probably seems random, but thanks. You talk to me pretty much every day and it still makes me happy to see replies from you. Thanks for being so nice to me all the time. I hope you are keeping well. :3 Edit! There's a tv show on soon that's all about exercise. Apparently it has a work out that's just 3 minuets per week...hard to imagine that being effective, but apparently it is? Will tell ya about it after if you're interested? ^^
Yeah, I have to have a bit to warm up to the controls for games too. Heh, but I only become slightly competent at games, never great. I'd never be able to do something like sneak up on The End, much less do the "sniper kill" when you see him on the dock with Volgin earlier in the game. Ah, already planning a second run. That's some dedication, lassy~! Yeah, Volgin is pretty gross, in a depraved sort of way (and in a general sense I guess too). I kind of like the cobra unit though. They have such interesting quirks, even if they are a band of killers. And yeah, Major Ocelot is a Revolver Ocelot in his youth. The Snake you see in MGS1 and 2 are not the same one you see in 3. I'll leave it at that. I dunno. I'm not really the one to talk to about this kind of thing. Not all that educated about my own nation's healthcare. Sad, I know... I just know that I avoid going to a doctor unless I just need to. Not in my area, unless I want to hang with a bunch of dudes, and guys tend to think about other things when they're with a girl. :/ Ah that's cool. Pretty sure SH is a big deal here in teh States too, I just never had a chance to get into it myself. ^^; yep, that one works. TY~ ^^ Bleck... That girl has to eat that thing he's carrying... Poor thing. Read on TV tropes that there's multiple endings. Replayability~! Oh wow. 30 days did pass by really quickly...and I'm behind on what you picked. ^^; I'll check it out when I'm on FB again.
To be honest, I suck at a lot of games when I first start them, but yup, real fast learner with games so you'd soon never suspect. Yeah, it's really fun! Sort of having a lazy go at collecting trophies, then next run will be a trophy clean-up. :3 Partly hunting the animals just because it's enjoyable. Will probably go for the platinum, it seems like a really fun one to get. Snuck up on 'The End' and held him up for a trophy, that was a great one to do. xD Thanks for the vote of confidence! <3 And wow, that game sure has a fine collection of freaks, creeps, and assholes, huh? Oh right ~ retarded question here. Is Ocelot a young Revolver Ocelot? Even though it wouldn't make sense for him to be so much older than Snake later? ^^; That is really terrible...how can they be okay with making sick people pay lots of money? :| Awww....heh...not many gamers in the toasty south of America? Naaaah, Silent Hill is pretty well known here (for a Japanese game). Haha, yeah...only way to cosplay as her would be in her wedding dress or mourning gown.... That IS dumb, like, REALLY dumb. What the heck? Just in case you still never saw the trailer ~ Pandora's Tower - Trailer #2 - YouTube Hopefully if will work on this channel. Apparently it comes out here in April? But only one retailer has it listed and it has no release date on there. Seems strange. Will let you know if it's any good when I get around to picking it up. ^^ Ah, hope inspiration strikes soon! Lemme know if you want a hand with the creation of it. ^^ Just one more day left of the gaming challenge. Crackers stuff.
Maybe. Never too late to pick up a bad habit though. Quick learner! Nice to hear you're enjoying it too. Since you're hunting animals, are you trying to collect as many trophies as you can in this first run? Some of 'em seem like they'll be tricky... You can do it though. ^^ Probably, sad as that is to say. Luckily hasn't happened to me yet. Hope it never does. Well, as long as they have the interest in games (even a casual one), that's a big step up from the people I tend to run into. ^^; Do you think you'll have to explain who you're dressed up as though? HOpefully there's some uber SH fans that will spot you before you have to say anything. Well, at least she's a lot more modest than Miss Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca. But yeah, if you feel too uncomfortable, I'd just add in some nude colored tights or something. Aww, the video is not available in my country... That's dumb! It's all the same internet, why can't i watch the video! >< Sounds pretty grotesque, but unique too. TV tropes likened in to a mix of "God of War, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and a Dating Sim." Pretty sweet. Might actually check it out if it hits the US. My avy says "I steal from the riches, and give to my bitches". It's a temp avy until I can think of a new one that I really like. Kind of having a brain fart as to what I want though.
It probably would have happened by now if it was going to, right? ^^; All this stuff just goes straight out my head again, so there's not much chance of me becoming a very good trivia junkie. xD Kinda, uh...already got used to it! <3 Had a pretty damn good time playing it today. Probably not far in. Just got to the fairly dark cave. It's pretty fun hunting down all the animals. A better radar sure would have helped, they're kinda hard to spot before you get used to the game. But then you get the thermal goggles and everything is suddenly very easy, yeah... So that does happen? people get financially screwed after being sick? :< Aww...I hope you find some who like the same kinda stuff soon. That's the main reason I wanted to try cosplaying to be honest. I read it's a good way to make friends who are into gaming/anime. Only one of my pals offline is as big of a nerd as me. ^^; Met a fair amount of other girl gamers, but all of them were pretty darn casual. Yeah, one of the things that appealed to me most about cosplaying Heather was that it won't make me stand out much in public. Dressing up as Cloud or somebody like that then walking down the street would be kinda embarrassing. The amount of leg she shows is a bit embarrassing, but maybe it's time to stop being quite so old-fashioned, it'll only be the once, anyway... ^^; Basically (on Pandora's Tower) ~ there's a girl & a boy. Girl is cursed. Curse slowly turns you into a monster. Eating monster's flesh is the only way to stop the curse (the girl is a vegetarian, just for an extra sick little twist). Boy must hunt monsters for their flesh to save girl. There's also some relationship system in place. You can make her like you more by giving her gifts. Can't remember mucha bout it, but it looks damn good, and impressive for a Wii game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHBvq...eature=related What does your avatar say, by the way? It's too small to read. :<
Not a problem. Just hope you don't become a trivia junkie like me... ^^; Spend too much time learning things I'll never use in the real world, but it's interesting to me, so I suppose that's good too. My bro didn't like the control scheme in 3. He'd just come off from playing 4, and I asked if he'd like to play the third one. He tried it for a bit, and got to the ruined building to rescue Sokolov, and he quit. Said there wasn't a good enough detection system like 1 and 4 had. I told him "Marc... This takes place in the 60's.... They're not going to have stuff like that back then." But yeah, it takes some getting used to. Good luck if you decide to take on the rest of the game. ^^ Well, luckily that hasn't happened to me yet, but I am afraid what will happen if it does. Probably go into debt pretty quickly. Haha, yeah, that'd be nice to have some irl friends who actually like similar stuff that I do. You could wear the Heather Mason outfit as just everyday wear too. Way to go, you! Pickin' something that has a lot of uses. Lol, when I did a google image search, one of the first things that popped up was a comparison shot of her and Ashley from RE4. Way to go stealin' Heather's look, Ash. XD I've heard of the Xenoblade Chronicles, but this is the first I've heard of Pandora's Tower. Might look into it to see what it's like. ^^
Thanks for the tip! Sure was some interesting stuff on a random Silent Hill forum. Sweet, thanks for the info. Played it a little this evening, but it was a little tough going to get used to the controls after so much Peace Walker. Shame it does that annoying thing that 2 did where you gotta be really careful about how you let go of the square button. ;_; Should get used to it again pretty fast though. It seems harder than the others, or am I just being suck? Got spotted a couple of times at the ruined building. ^^; Sure hope not, that price is just insane! What happens if you get seriously ill? They must rob you of all your cash...thanks! Will definitely come over on holiday one day. :3 Aww...but maybe it'll be fun even without a bud? Maybe you'd make new buds. ^^ Gonna do Heather Mason (Silent Hill 3), it seems like a good one to start with since she's a cool character + shouldn't be too difficult to do. Haha, gotta do Tao one day if it becomes a thing after this. Will do! Hope you enjoy Last Story! Xenoblade Chronicles & Pandora's Tower look real interesting too. ^^ You probably already heard about them if you heard about Last Story though.
Yeah, if you need facts for just about anything, tv tropes is the way to go. You could try the Silent Hill wiki too. Fan communities are some of the best places for diggin' up obscure and interesting tidbits. :3 Nah, not too long. I think you should be able to complete the story in roughly 15 hours or so. If you're going for completionist, that will of course add to the time. Yeah, that's what I thought was so weird... Maybe it happens when just one ear is infected, because my other ear is fine. Well, I went to a specialist, and they charge a lot more than a general practitioner. I'd love me some free health care though. Heh.. Sorry, I'm sure it's not as bad as what I make it out to be... Still hope you make it to the States one day. Yeah, there's a few that pop up every now and again. There's apparently something called Glitch Con that's gonna happen near to where I live. It's a more general kind of con, so there's something for just about everyone who's into that stuff. I don't think I'll go though. No one to really pal around with. Something like that seems like it'd be more fun when you can nerd out with a buddy. NICE! What costume are you gonna pull together? I still say that you could sew yourself a pretty sweet Taokaka hoodie. Wow, she does look good. Cheap gunblade is cheap though, but it really doesn't distract too much from her appearance. ^^ I do not... I only have the two Zelda games (which I finished Skyward Sword last night~), Mariokart, Wii fit, and Smash Bros... No JRPGs for me yet, though I might check out the Last Story when it finally hits the States. Tell me if Fragile Dreams is any good. ^^
All righty! ^^ There didn't seem to be masses of interesting facts laying about, but thanks for reminded me about the tropes thing! Hopefully that'll have some more facts. Yeah, you survivor! Huh, they shouldn't have made him so annoying. One of these days will get on with MGS3...one of these days...is it a long game? Yeah, it can happen with glands, but I think you can usually feel the one on the other side a little big if one swells up real big? What? o_o And you say it isn't too costly? That's pure madness! Check-ups are FREE in this country...I wanna move to America one day, but that's kinda off-putting. ^^; Hopefully your condition will go by itself very soon. >_< Thankies! You should! Aren't there an awful lot of them in America? Possibly mainly up north, but there's probably something down there too. You know? I might be a bit old to start that kind of thing, but I don't give a ****. Gonna go dressed up. ^^ Haha, okay. Thanks for the advice! Well, I hope you meet the ones you wanna meet, then. :3 Will tell you all about how it goes, I'm sure. Speaking of cosplay, this is probbers, the best Lightning I've seen in terms of actually looking like the character (the costume is a bit cheap looking, though ) http://i.imgur.com/xyuwC.png :3 Say, you got any of those JRPGs on the Wii? Some of them look interesting. Just ordered Fragile Dreams.
Oh yeah, man! I love learning random facts about things. It's my addiction...which is why I'm always on tv tropes. I've avoided the Silent Hill pages, for the most part, so anything you have to say will be news to me. I say brave, though as the old saying goes, "those that fight and run away...live to fight another day". ^^; Aww, poor Snow really can't catch a break. Even his creators might have it out for him. Oh, lol. I should have figured, but with all the MGS3 talk..and you have the collection too! Hope you have better luck than I did. I'm sure you will though. Yeah, I thought it might be a swollen gland, but it's only the one side.. I'm sure that happens though. Heh, I would get it checked, but man, I really don't want to wait in a doctor's office...or pay the fee. It's not too costly, but definitely a lot more than I want to pay just for a quick check up. Last time I went to a doctor, he examined me for like 3 minutes, and I wound up paying $150... :/ Robbery, I tells ya. SWEET! Hope you both have a blast. I'd love to go to a con. Are you going to dress up? Or just run around in casual wear? Also, don't buy any merch until the last day! That's when the prices get slashed (or so I hear...). I've never met anyone from the nets, no... I want to someday though. :3
yeah, will have to get thinking about subbies. Informative playthroughs are pretty cool, huh? Maybe I should do some reading first. :3 Brave, or foolish? You might just live longer than moi in some situations. xD Maybe even Square hate Snow now? One of the developers must have at least seen a cat recently. xD Nope! why didn't I say what game...that was pretty 'derp' of me. I was talking about the work out game, sorry. >_< Wow...weird thing to put in the game, but okay! It'll probably make sense if I ever get to there, huh? Is that not just your glands have swollen? Normally I'd say go get it checked at least for some peace of mind, but they charge a lot in a America for check-ups, don't they? :/ If it isn't too costly, you should go get it checked for sure, Oh, might be meeting ViviMasterMage in July! I'm going down to Manchester for the Manchester Comic Con, so figured I may as well go say "howdy" at the same time. :3 You ever meet anybody from the internets before?
