Easier said than done 90% of the time. =/

Best thing about the conference: The CoD dog is still cute. :D

I bet EA pitched and paid for the "no-used games" idea.

^ Perfect. xD
Some of those gag are really cheesy and dumb, but that one was good.  Loved the dandy they got too

Probably the coolest version of Star Wars A new Hope that isn't the movie itself

^ very cool

Maybe just a bit.

Amazing. xD

Yikes, that's it?  I'm glad the multimedia aspect is booming.... but at least PS4 had more to show off

Haha it didn't even show any game.  Good ol' EA, I guess.
Then again, the sports games are a big deal, so...

EDIT: Yeaaah.  "XBox One" throws me for a loop when they say it.

Giving it the benefit of the doubt, the kinect capability stuff for multimedia looks pretty damn seamless.

I don't give a fuck how it looks, so long as it doesn't look like a dildo.  So I say a lot of those complaints are whatever.

THe name is dumb.  I get the "all in one" approach.  But it feels like "Oh they got PS4?? WELL WE GOT ONE."
But enough, it doesn't matter.  Yay games time!

Bad day, Dade?
No need to be a mean if you don't like people sharing something as simple daily "haps" -- just ignore it or something.

Anyways.
My toe is more or less better.  There is stil nasty granuloma tissue and a good part of my nail is gone. :C
(GOD I hate blaming my problems on a goddamn nub on my foot)

boo hoo hoo hooo

It's gross, but the pain is gone.  It was a pure relief the second it was gone (but there was a nasty tingle the first day...like it was reminding me something is missing).  Apparently it bled like mad but then that was it; I guess the nail really clogged things up.
It was a bit infected too, so I was on painkillers (which knocked me out the whole day) for a few days and antibiotics (which upset my stomach) and now I'm behind on summer school work (it's a full course crammed into 6 weeks).  
F^#%@.  Can't catch a break.  I hate when I start a New Year and hope/think it'll be a great year but have nothing to really contribute to that wish.

Ah well.  I got my doggy to keep me company when I write papers.  She's the cutest most wonderful bitch-pup ever.  And food.
Our city square is showing The Sandlot on Thursday on their outdoor jumbotron thing.  I'm looking forward to that and pizza.

Yum

I thought Panopticon had a way better name, freedom wars is as generic as monster hunter as far as a title goes...but hokay.
Hopefully more info soon.

Given mages are all pretty...whatever (and you get like 8 of them), I based largely on aesthetics.  Jelanda has a massive forehead too.  I kept Lorenta for hard mode because switching her out in Lezard's tower was a pain in the ass and she packed some good spells.  Eugh... I'm getting close to that part too.  Not looking forward to it.  "5% Chance of Breaking" doesn't sound bad until you're playing with scarce save points.
I may have to give Liseria a try though.  I love her casting animation.

And yeah, I loved the Yoshinari sister's art for the game and it's weird version of cartoony-realism.  I think that's why I loved Yumei, she looks somewhat real, but that bright green mermaid form was just a nice surprise for a realistic-enough looking person.  Every shot of Valkyrie is damn near perfect too (eugh, except for the goddamn crying image they settled on for the PSP artwork....like ANY version of the cover was better, as usual, than what NA got).

The game hasn't aged terribly well, but it works as an awesome handheld titles for the 3DS.  I honestly do think it was one of the better (if not best) Tales story and character ensemble, even when compared to a lot of other ones out there.  The politics also felt vaguely realistic....for a magical anime JRPG.
