Yeah, I agree.  I remember trying to get attuned for tempest keep and trying to find a group for it that could do it in the quest time limit.  

Anyways, we've been working on Kael'thas for 4 days and we've got him to 60% in phase 4.  Just 10% more and we would have had loot and access to Mount Hyjal pretty much.  I'm pretty sure he'll go down before the server reset.  I'm also pretty sure that I've spent over 50g on repairs and I wear cloth.  This is what makes WoW entertaining PvE wise imo and other mmo's like ffxi can't compete with (can't really speak for EQ though).

Overall a pretty amazing fight.  Definitely one of the top notch encounters to date and requires a lot of coordination between players.

Dincrest - About your new game+ experience, I too was dissapointed when I first saw that too.  Though I guess it kind of makes sense since


As far as the student council S-link, yeah she's a pain.  Once you get her to level 6 or 7, she needs constant attention or she'll go reverse.  I wouldn't go for her until you can devote time to her when she's available and not another girl.  That's what I ended up doing, at least.

Lately I've been playing .hack//G.U Rebirth and I really want to like but one thing that annoys the fuck out of me is the arena battles.

Glad I'm not the only person who thought they were on a ps2 at first.  I'm pretty interested in this game now, mainly how they'd fit a tales like battle-system on the DS.  I've never played a game on the DS that required quick d-pad movements, so I'm curious how it would work (triggers involvement, perhaps?)

I was really happy when they announced it was coming out on XBL downloads.  I was hoping it would come out before I moved out (it was my roommate's 360), but it didn't.  I played the old version back on dreamcast with friends and absolutely loved it.  It's a really cool style of gameplay, even if we didn't have any idea on how to play it, due to it being in Japanese.

Hopefully the 360 since the FPS is supposedly a lot better than the Ps3's for some reason.

I'm really interested in playing this game.  I have some questions for you.

-My roommate said something about how the shooting, while similar to nhl 07, allows you to shank the shots if you don't pull back on the stick straight.  How does that play in the game?

-How many one-timer goals do you see?  I come from the old school games where one timers ruled the earth, yet when I played 07, I had a really hard time scoring like that even on really nice one-timers.

-Also, one of the biggest flaws in the 07 if you ask me was the ease of scoring with manual dekes even without a breakaway.  Even on the hardest goalie difficulty, my roommate was generally able to score on easily 50-65% of the manual deke/fake-outs that he was able to get.  Was this fixed?

Jylan -  I definitely see where you're coming from.



Persona FES Ending Spoilers



End FES spoilers, but adding to my spoiler post about P3:

ending spoilers.

I'm having some wi-fi problems which I don't believe that are my fault (the landlord sucks and she knows jack shit.  what's worse is that she tells me there's no number to call for help.).

A lot of times the internet is slow and pages often don't load at all and time out causing a very simple page to take a few minutes to actually load.  Needless to say, this pretty much has killed any online gaming I like to do.

My question is, when I complained yesterday the landlord told me everything is fine as far as she knows (which it's not.  My wi-fi at home worked perfectly fine before I came back to school).  I'm using Net-gear to connect to the internet and I notice when I scan the available hotspots, I notice many from my apartment (ones with different channels and different mac addresses).  However it won't let me connect to them even if I push "connect" on that one.  It always connects me to the very first one (which isn't even the best signal) and I'm wondering if that's a software problem.  Maybe it's just that specific channel/mac addresses that is pure shit.

Any ideas on how to connect to different channels?  I tried using the windows software to connect but I didn't see any channels at all, just the main "X apartment" listed.

Thanks in advance!

Speaking of Sony's future...

Wasn't FFXIII and MGS4 (or whatever the next one is) supposed to come out on multi consoles?  I'm not sure if that was a rumor or a fact.

I'm interested in hearing about Star Ocean IV and The DS Dragon Quest remakes.  I'd be interested to hear about release dates and just generally how they are going to do it.

Nothing really surprising really.  That kind of thing happens a lot... and this is the reason why I left alliance shortly after starting wow and went to horde.

edit:  hahaha.... i retract my statement.  that is pretty funny shit.  gotta love e-hardasses

you're probably right about the third party thing.  I just hate leveling up a feral druid.  I just want to hit 70 and go resto =p.

As for the tier 3 part, I don't recall what numbers he exactly used, but we all knew he was full of crap anyway.  He might have been talking about how many bosses he downed, I'm not sure.  He types like a 7 year old so half his sentences were incoherent.

Fucking A I now remember why I switched to horde.  These last two nights leveling my night elf druid have been annoying as shit, mainly because my guild is fucking retarded (it seems to be a theme no matter what guild I join, since he's too low for any decent guild).  

I never can let things be when I hear stupidity spewing from someone's mouth.  What makes it worse is when you state facts or try to explain why it is a certain way and they still don't believe you.

Two nights ago someone was adamantly arguing with me trying to tell me that warriors are weak in arenas and outdoor pvp.  Also that they can't do any damage in raids.  I told him that most people are crying nerf in arenas about warriors and fury can do a nice amount of damage in raids, but no amount of explaining seemed to convince him.

Last night one mage was arguing in a rather childish manner that frost spec is the best raiding spec.  Even after telling him the facts that he was wrong and someone else asking a mage friend from the best raiding guild on the server, he managed to say, "I HAVE A DRUID WITH 4/7 TIER 3 NAXX I KNO WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT"

This is a guild that's supposed to be an alt-leveling guild for a raiding guild.  God almighty.  

I have some spare cash at the moment so I'm considering getting my druid power leveled to like 68 so I can just switch to resto and start getting some gear to raid on him.

I thought about this for awhile and there aren't too many games out there that I put down and actually came back to later, but there is one noteworthy game that came to my mind after a few minutes of thinking.

Fire Emblem.

I don't remember why I originally bought it, perhaps because of the hype here, I can't remember.  I do remember my first play through that I pretty much did all the things possible to really screw yourself over.   I did dumbass things such as evolving my characters at level 10, using that over-leveled paladin to kill just about anything he could reach, and not picking up the optional characters in chapter 16 (I think I got that far).  I can't really say I HATED it the first time around, but it was frustrating as hell because my characters were a lot weaker than they should have been.

I then read much later on how to correctly play Fire Emblem so I restarted my game and played it correctly.  I ended up beating it this time around and loving every second of it.

WTB new Fire Emblem for the Nintendo DS!
