Did you watch the 5 episode OVA's of black lagoon? I am upto those last 5 now, loving it!

Hey, if you're interested, here is the opening intro to that anime I mentioned on your thread. This is the intro to all the episodes it changes slightly in the way later ones).

Yeah that's the problem with ebay, either the item you want doesn't ship out of the UK or the States, or the shipping is ridiculously high. When I was looking for ff6 advance some people were asking for nearly $30 for shipping alone, and the game I got in the end turned out to be a glitched Taiwanese bootleg of all things.

How're you liking Tag Tournament? It's really cool to be able to play as some of the older characters like Prototype Jack, but I was a bit disappointed to find out that Kunimitsu is only available through a DLC. I'd like to hear what you have to say about Tekken 4 as well, it's the only one I haven't played, but I'd like to see if all the hate it gets is justified or not.

Oh and Happy Birthday! With the different timezones i'm not if it's just started or it's already over, but have a good one all the same.

Oops that's my bad, you recommended it to me a while ago, so I assumed you had played it. Hope I haven't given away any spoilers

I understand your problem with some games costing a lot though, I still haven't found a copy of Final Fantasy IX that doesn't cost upwards of $70 or $80.

Hey how did you manage to get past the first area on Liquid's Submarine on Guns of the Patriots? I've been trying it for ages now and I can never get past the bit at the end where the Gekos keep spawning, it's been really frustrating. Like i'll reach the door at the end and one will land right on top of me haha

Did you get Ground Zeros? I've been thinking about it, but it costs quite alot for what I've been told is essentailly a demo.

Uhm. Honestly. Why haven't I befriended you on TFF?
I'm shocked, you're a fellow XII-fan and you're not on my friends list. Till now. >3 Mwahaha. Prepare to get... a friend request!!!

And thanks!

Honestly, I love it. Any publicity is good publicity.

Hey sorry for the late reply, I haven't been playing XIII as much lately. Since I upgraded my ps3 harddrive Tekken Tag 2 and Guns of the Patriots have been taking up most of my time. Nearly finished with GoP though, I just started chapter 4, so I'm thinking i'll try finish XIII after that.

How's your playthrough going, you must be done/nearly done by now. Don't worry about any spoilers, I found out most stuff about this game long before I played it.

XIII's good, it just hasn't blown me away like previous Final Fantasies. I can understand where a lot of the hate is coming from, but for all it's faults it has a pretty good battle system, i just wish I could use it to its fullest with a party of three that I can pick.

Sahz is pretty cool, I was worried he'd turn out to be a bit too much like Eddie Murphy and just deliver one liners but I'm glad they mainly avoided that steriotype lol. Also his Blitz is meant to be one of the strongest attacks in the game, because it hits up to 8 times. Fang seems cool too, I just haven't had a chance to try her out yet. Who's your favorite character so far?

I think it's going pretty good, how about you? I'm up to chapter 6 or 7, where you control Sahz and Vanille, I just wish it would get to the part where everything opens up a bit. Battles just seem to work a lot better with 3 characters rather than just two. Have you gotten the hang of the Battle and Level Up systems?

I know what you mean. I get the same exact feeling. I can't seem to shake this place off.

I'm glad someone remembers me. I've been great, thank you. I finished my Games Development course with the grades to get into University but I wanted to take a gap year to explore a little and earn a bit of money. Now I feel it was a dumb move because I can't seem to land a job anywhere. Still, at least I get a break from education.

Xanatos, I can't believe you're still around! How've you been, pal?

I wish I was into reading books but I doubt I will find the energy to do it. I'd be better off reading a quick synopsis on Wiki lol.

I've been really lucky with getting MSG games lately, my local EB Games had a pretty big influx of them over the past few weeks so I managed to pick up Peace Walker and Snake Eater roughly around the same time. I saw Portable Ops but PW stood out to me a bit more. So uber glad I got it.

Yeah I love being able to build up your Motherbase, I've actually got too many people in the R&D department so I'm firing all the rubbish ones and getting much better ones to replace them. Leveling up the weapons was a great idea too, I've gone through the shooting range missions so many times I know them off by heart.

The battles against the AI machines are a pain but that PKM machine gun is pretty invaluable when it comes to dealing large amounts of damages over a long time. It's funny because while i've been using those battles to farm Metal Gear parts, I can't get past that torture part where you have to mash 'Triangle'. I get to the third electric shock and my thumb wheres out lol.
