Oldskool? I just bought a new PSP with all the classic FF games. Replaying FF Tactics is great with the new anime cutscenes and new characters to recruit. Im still trying to unlock the new job class Dark Knight. Crises Core is good aswell, playing as Zack and finding out about the events that took place before FFVII (Cloud was a wimp).
Tonight I am going to the midnight showing of the new terminator movie. Hopefully it doesn't suck.

My old save-file of Oblivion got corrupted so I started a new one, in tribute of Jin's favorite game. Made me a Breton this time and just managed to turn him into a Vampire ~ fun business biting necks.
But in un-related news I was sad to see one of my usual DS ROM depot go offline.. looks like I'll need to find a new source of DS ROM-ness, having fun with ye'ol FFIV on the DS but it needs moar! I got Settlers and FFIII a while ago and they are pretty fun to tinker with.
Work work work work work.. my back is sore ;_; gettin old like Scorp.
Scorp:
Ha! Keeping track of me on Facebook when I haven't even touched the internet in a week? (Twitter via phone... everything's mobile these days!)
Jin:
And yes, I have been BlazBlue-ing. WE NEED TO PLAY ONLINE TOGETHER.
Dawezy:
Told you FFIII was good times on the DS. Glad you're liking it thus far. I could recommend a whole ****ton of games on the DS that you'd probably enjoy. Just say the word and I'll come up with the perfect list for the old-school enthusiast.

Playing BlazBlue with you would require me to get a copy of the game which isn't likely to happen. =P
I know, for shame. I've just been kind of...blah lately. I start playing one game, get bored of it in about 10 minutes, have a desire to play another game, get bored of it in another 10 minutes and repeat. I think I'm just tired. I need a vacation.
A glimmer of hope though as yesterday LucasArts released some of their classics via Steam. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, baby. So many memories with that one. In non-old school news, I finally got my platinum trophy on Infamous, so I'm happy about that and I'm kind of sort of playing through my second file on Uncharted.

I've been playing Namco Museum Virtual Arcade on the 360.
And I think it might be what I need to sharpen my skills again as most of the games aren't too forgiving on the default settings.

Hey hey, folks! This is Ponk, making his semi-annual stop at TFF. Will see about sticking around a while, but we know how that usually goes. Nevertheless: Optimism!
So I recently did a 'spring clean' which involved swapping out a bunch of furniture in addition to throwing out maybe six month's worth of accumulated shit. I now have twice as much wall space and need something to occupy it. I already have these big 1-foot square canvas prints of friends and pets and stuff so I wanna do more of that type of thing, but slightly different.
Here's the challenge to you: I want to do a giant canvas print, A3 size or probably even bigger, that's just an enormosized sprite image/game image. Mostly because the problem with big canvas is image quality, and vector images or vectored sprites don't have to worry about upsize quality. I'm not sure what to go with though! Of course, you lot are the foremost experts that come to mind with all retro gaming issues so I present the question to you. Who/what to go with?
My top two at the moment are:
- Mario, probably mid-jump on a coloured background
- One of the vector style images (or one I build myself from references) from the Katamari games - I'm imagining a landscape canvas with the prince pushing a giant katamari that takes up most of the frame. Nice and colourful, pastelly or at least bright.
Any other suggestions? I welcome all comers. As for FF/Square Enix characters, who would you say is the most distinct or interesting in the Sprite Age?

Batman: Arkham Asylum (PS3)
Ah Katamari, just hearing that name gives me flashbacks of when I played the Simpsons game not too long ago. Gives me the shivers. Anyway I would go with the Mario print but with a better background than random colors. I say add one of those small castles with the flagpole in the background with several of the fireworks going off.
Now you’re getting me thinking of updating my walls. Anime wall scrolls are nice but prints look much better. There is an art school here in town somewhere maybe I'll commission one of the art majors there for one.
The sprite age I would say most of the characters from FFVI. Edgar, Mog, Shadow and of course the chocobo. With Enix I would go with the slime from the Dragonquest series.

Bwu hah hah~
Yeah, soon as DSH scooted off and gave it to me it slowly decayed but I got the hell away from that place, not long after the DSH leaving / dumb**** Hobbes drama. Dont feel bad about it tho as this was long overdue.. how many mindless drones were there now you think? several thousand? lol
Also - draw me some Sonic if your in the mood, the old school style not this modern GBA/DS/360 human looking nonsense.. man that style makes me sick, despite the amount of content in those games (due to updated hardware storage, etc) they really make me frown ; ;
Been mediating my time between work / FFXI / Supreme Commander / FF3 DS / FF4 DS / alcohol / Hentai / Porn. Ah peaceful times in Australia :3.
No change i see
What is this? Can i join and talk about games? I think i have the evil thing covered >=)
Oh fuck me, I disappear and KC comes back and posts?
Too much going on to really catch everyone up at once, so let's just look at some games.
I also like KC's "desperately awaiting" segment and might steal that for a moment.
This is mostly a post informing you of my existence.
Currently Playing, in reverse system age:
PC/PS3 • Final Fantasy XI
PS3 • BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
Wii • Animal Crossing: City Folk
XB360 • Left 4 Dead
PSP • Monster Hunter: Freedom Unite
PSP • Dissidia: Final Fantasy (demo)
N64 • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
N64 • Mario Tennis
N64 • Dr. Mario 64
PSX • Wild ARMs 2 (via PSN download onto PSP)
PSX • Valkyrie Profile (via PS3 with original discs)
PSX • Tales of Destiny II (via PS3 with original discs)
SNES • Uniracers
SNES • Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars
SNES • Final Fantasy VI (NA III cartridge)
SNES • NBA Jam
NES • Crystalis
NES • Super Mario Bros. 3
NES • Super Mario Bros.
If you didn't notice... lots of multiplayer stuff on that list. Rebecca and I moved all of my retro consoles out of my parents' house, and she's been wanting to play everything lately. Works for me, a girl after my own heart. ^_^
Also, gratuitous amounts of Dungeons & Dragons, as well as Magic: The Gathering.
It's almost ironic... almost all of my systems are getting the love right now EXCEPT for my DS, which is probably my favorite device out of all of them. Strange, isn't it?
And I suppose I do have a quick story to tell... that copy of Tales of Destiny II I'm playing? A customer of mine gave it to me the other week. For free. No strings attached. I was so helpful with her sale/purchase that she up and gave me the game even after I told her I couldn't take it into my inventory. Said it was for me, not the store, and then traipsed off to go sell the other old merchandise elsewhere. WIN.
Anxiously Awaiting, in release order:
PS3 • Madden NFL 2010, 14 August (SHUT UP I KNOW)
PS3 • Batman: Arkham Asylum, 25 August
PSP • Dissidia: Final Fantasy, 25 August
XB360 • Rock Band: Beatles, 09 September
XB360 • Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, 15 September
This list could go on through mid-2010, but I figured my next month's purchases would suffice.

Completely ignoring the thread for a month is much easier than saying "no, you can't join". This is a good policy, guys.
Anyways: BUMP! Because I'm bored. Which of course means that I'm not really playing anything right now. I'm waiting for Uncharted 2 and don't want to start anything until then because I know I'll forget whatever it is I'm doing when that comes out. It looks godly.
There's another reason I'm not gaming though and it will deteriorate into a rant. I bought a PSP Go. Friends, don't be like me. Don't buy a PSP Go. Or if you do, at least be like me enough to buy it somewhere that has a 30 day return policy, because DAMN, did Sony ever **** this up. Looking past the fact that the lack of any UMD transfer plan is a big slap in the testicles to all current PSP owners, and the absolutely mind boggling $250 price tag, Sony has no intention of properly supporting this console. Last week, when it came out, I was ecstatic that something like 95 PSP games were uploaded to the Playstation Network. At least I was until I got there to see which ones they were. Where the hell is Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops? Where in the unholy mother of **** is Dissidia, Crisis Core or Final Fantasy Tactics? Aside from first and second party Sony games (and, to be fair, EA, Activision, Capcom and Nippon Ichi), the store was filled with utter crap. Oh, but I thought, surely next week they'll complete or at least expand the offering of PSP games. Oh they sure did. Today we got two whole PSP games, both of which are NBA games. WOW. I emailed both Konami and Square-Enix and got the same response from both of them, that they have no information for me regarding whether their back catalog of PSP games will be uploaded or not. We've all dealt with customer service before; that means no. Also, I recently learned that Sega has not yet confirmed Valkyria Chronicles 2 for digital download. They confirmed it for UMD, but not digital; why would they do that unless there is no guarantee that Sega (and therefore all third party publishers) intends to universally support the digital distribution method which means that there is no guarantee that all PSP games in the future will available to PSP Go users. So way to go, Sony. You've created a digital distribution only device when apparently even publishers aren't ready to fully take that leap, sell it to us for $80 more than the PSP already available (which is fully capable of playing downloaded games btw, it's just a bigger hassle having to deal with memory sticks instead of flash memory), offer absolutely no incentive for current PSP owners to upgrade and even manage to offer a smaller library of games than that which is available for older PSP models. And congratulations on having idiots like me around who will buy it. But this idiot still has his recite, you pocket lining, wheel greasing highway bandits!

It's how we roll bro~
And thanks for the heads up, that's pretty ****ed :\ for a price-tag like that you would think they would toss some effort into it (then again I cant really talk, I keep saying to myself get a DS/PSP get a DS/PSP but I never take the time off to go cruise past a EB shop). I hooked up with a new computer rig tho week before last and its a fricken beast - albeit from lagging when it shouldnt, for that I dont understand with such a badass video card (ATI Radeon HD 4670) that there is any form of remote lag in ANY of my games.. been grinding Supreme Commander : Forged Alliance, awesome rts. :3

I enjoyed that rant on the PSP Go. I never liked the idea of a digital download-only game system in the first place, this just puts my mind to rest. I'm broke as poo right now, but sometime after Christmas I plan to buy a PS3 for myself, or maybe update my 360 library, or... something. Debating polishing off my FFIII (VI) cartridge and playing it this weekend, buuuut I never actually beat II (IV) or even played the cartridge I own (played it via the GBA) so... yeah.
The old school FF bug has bitten me, though.
CP: Just got Prince of Persia for the 360, firing it up tomorrow, and soon to play either my II or III SNES Cart, when I decide which, also playing Kingdom Hearts for 2-3 hours a week whilst my girlfriend watches, since she's a Disney freak and I never played more than 10 hours of it.
Edit: Actually, what do you (whoever is reading this) think is better for playing FFIV. The GBA Cart or the originally released SNES Cart? I'm not sure if any story-telling elements were changed between the two, or if sounds, etc, were enhanced any.

I'm not so much down on the idea of digital distribution itself, just Sony's piss-poor way of going about it. Home consoles is one thing, but for a portable system, I think digital distribution really makes sense. But really, 16 gigs isn't quite enough. If Sony comes out with a 32 gig PSP Go that doesn't suck, maybe I'll try it again.
At any rate, anyone that has a PS3 owes it to themselves to get Uncharted 2. I can quite honestly say, without hyperbole, that it is the best game I have played this entire console generation and it sets a new standard that I will be measuring all other games against from here on out. Simply amazing.

I have to say on the matter of FFIV, I have completely in chaotic love with my buying of the DS version. Between the beautiful cinematics (which the ONLY complaint I have on them is the lack there-of) and the voice-acting, which is some of the best I've heard in quite some time (especially for a portable system), there's no reason not to love this version, tho the pronunciation of Cecil's name (Sessil, instead of Seesil, as it were) grates on my nerves, but eh, that's my mistake I guess.
My only other gripe is that it wasn't made up to at least PS2 standard graphics, which I would've just sat and drooled over (considering what they managed to make FFXII look like at the time). And that's just me being a whiner. XD
Currently Playing: WoW, and still too much of it (yeah, I know, I always say that, and I said the SAME THING back when I was playing FFXI.)
Think I may go load up Mirror's Edge and run some more time trials in a few tho...assuming my fingers still know how to play it at all. XD
What's the last DS game you've seen with PS2 graphics?
Until now!
Considering my DS collection is kinda pitiful, not too many, tho Need for Speed: Pro Street was pretty close to first gen PS2 graphics. I just meant the graphics in general tho. I just wanna see FFIV beautifully remade in the kind of graphics we got in FFXII at the least. As much as I love my oldschool versions of it, and the DS remake, I gotta say, I think that game (and 6) both deserve remakes in full glorious current graphical detail much more-so than 7 does. ^_^What's the last DS game you've seen with PS2 graphics?
Also, holy f'ckin sheeot batman, i'm doing something other than playing WoW. I'm typing on a second Mega Man X story in sequel to my first one. O_O Nevermind that I'm supposed to be asleep atm. <.<;;;;
