Hot new music video by an AWESOME UK band....directed by Peter Serafinowicz.... if you're not "hooked" by the first minute, there's no amusing you.  The end is mind blowing.

I finally beat Ace Attorney Investigations.  I'm overall pleased with it, although I can't help but miss the old judicial feel.  This game felt a lot more like Scooby Doo at times than I care to admit. :P

I'm now a little ways into Apollo Justice.  Not far enough to form an opinion yet, but I can definitely say Phoenix sure as shit turned annoying. :P

Haha, Scooby-Doo comment.

Gotta love how it's okay for girls to pull a mullet.

Awesome magician- Jade Curtiss (Tales of the Abyss).  Witty son of a bitch; proving video game humour (rather, sarcasm) DOES exist in a non-geeky way.  He has a dark past, he's over the age of 20 (rare for JRPG...heh), and doesn't fuck around.  He's mature and a wise ass.  I respect that!

The stoic, wise warrior: Not really a fan of the stoics.  They're bland to me and come off too typical and one-breeded.  They're the "wise guys of few words".  Meh.  Whatever, I'm throwing this one...  Yuri Lowel (Tales of Vesp)l.  Maybe not a man of few words, but certainly wise ones.  He never preached and babbled about saving the world, he merely did what he thought was right.

The villain: Lavos (Chrono Trigger).  A being that is so evil and destructive and frightening... and so little to say about it.

The comedy relief: Vashyron (Resonance of Fate): "Daddy does NOT approve!".  Maybe its Nolan North's voice that makes anything smart-ass sound just heroic and awesome; but I like him.  He's a bit of a pervert, and a money-grubber, but definitely an unexpected hero, and quite funny.
 Honourable mention goes to the Supporting Cast of Disgaea, who's wit would always have me detour the castle.

.....though, Kefka certainly does clean up for the 1996 nominations. :P

Resonance of Fate:
Chapter 11/16.  Noooo, it's ending too fast.  I skipped a few missions when I realized I left some important items in previous missions... that, and some of the challenges felt more trouble than they were worth.

Just beat the first 1-on-1 boss battle... what a pain in the ass.  Not because its you and yourself as support for...yourself; but because he's a tricky and particular fucker.  Wasted a few "rubies" ($$) to retry this one.

But anyways; we've gone into some of the deeper and darker parts of the characters' past.  I like the minimal approach storyline; it runs deep, but just looks shallow.

This is also one of those games where the normal enemies can potentially give you more hassle than the chapter-end bosses.

....I love how all of the default looks for the characters are blondes with blue eyes.  It puts my brown eye+hair combo to shame.

Does this mean Jynx will be one of the legendary pokemon?

HAH!!!  Love it. x)

Even so, I would be delighted if there was indeed another VP game in the works for X360/Ps3.

Thats why I decided to post something that is, probably, "as credible as a sponge" haha

I would become ...emotionally erect if this was released.
6158  Media / Single-Player RPGs / Re: Pokemon: The Latest Generation on: April 09, 2010, 09:10:43 PM
I'm not really fond of the game's anymore; I personally think they gotta stop focusing on the amount of stuff to do outside of pokemon (and placing useless mini games) and more on combat dynamics.  I hated that my started pkmn could kill anything in one hit.

....yet, meybe its the kid in me; but I got a bit excited hearing about a new one.  Here's hoping they do something different with it.

Wishful thinking?  I don't know how reliable the site is either...
But...jooooy~!!! <3  I am crossing my fingers.  Its a shame the budget for the next-gen consoles' games has sky-rocketed for companies to consider bringing back smaller niche titles.  But glad to see there may be two of my favorites coming back (possibly).
=)

I've never played the game or have any interest even now....but this IS a first.  Usually forums would be flooded with five retards saying "OLD" within the topic's first minute.
6161  Media / Single-Player RPGs / Re: Radiata Stories on: April 07, 2010, 06:55:26 PM
Um; no real prize for collecting every character from what I recall.  

Some of the characters recruitments were a pain in the ass.  I don't know- to me this game wasn't worth the effort after.  I played it through to the end; I didn't mind it then...then I realised all that kinda lacked and it made for an unfullfilling experience
So, NONE of the optional characters added any side stories, or anything?

What you see is what you get.  Aside their blurb in the Friend Roster

Another fun fact: use "Clairvoyance" on your characters each chapter (preferably when enemies aren't around...)

They're kind of funny. For example, in the chapter you meet Barbarella...
Code:
Vash is steamy for Barbarella, Zeph is terrified of Barbarella, and Leanne "think her soil is fine, thank you!"

Mmmm, Chapter 8 and 3.1 million Rubies/Pesos/Dollars... and enemies can still ruin my day...

Chapter 8 of Resonance of Fate.

I love this game.  Nothing is more rewarding than destroying an enemy.  It was difficult to learn at the beginning (I thing I game over'd my first battle twice before I actually won anything).
Leanne is absolutely adorable; she looks like a doll (lit?).
Vash is hilarious.
And...well, Zeph kind of falls behind with his emo attitude.  But I prefer it to my initial "kid hero" impression that we see time and time again in JRPGs.  He has attitude, but he's caring, mysterious, and has a pretty messed back story.  His "B" set of costumes annoy me with that stupid scene-kid zipper.

The Richard flash-back episode was probably the best in a while.  I was pretty sad when they went to a Kwon "flashsideways"... they just don't have the same pull.

I hope it picks up the pace again tonight.  With only so few episodes left, and so many more questions, I don't care about how depressed Jack is, or how fast Kate can run, or how emotional Sawyer actually is, or what marital problems surround Jin and Sun, etc...
There's been enough of that for five seasons!
6165  Media / Anime, TV, and Movies / Re: Recently Viewed Movies Episode 2: The Vampire Bites Back on: April 06, 2010, 06:13:15 PM
The Men Who Stare at Goats - It was a bit silly but that's a good thing. I enjoyed it.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox - Clooney again. I didn't really like the artistic style of it but it was pretty funny.
Ponyo - I'm always a sucker for a Miyazaki film and this was good. I didn't enjoy it as muich as his others but maybe after repeating viewings...

Eww, I thought Men Who Stare at Goats was the definition of a "swing and a miss".  It was too silly; then went waay to serious.  The ending was nothing short on retarded.  There is no real justification for the "super powers" the one unit possesses, and it just feels like they were just a unit of idiots.  Some movies try to get you to believe in a "touch of magic" (or whatever), but I hated this flick.

I loved Fantastic Mr. Fox.  The red hues really started to wear me down, I saw blue for a while after since my eyes became desensitized to red haha.  I thought it was funny.  The whack-bat sport is awesome.

Ponyo...was a good one-time watch.  Aside from the numerous Little Mermaid remnants, I just thought there was something kinda missing.  The scene explaining breast feeding was just bloody awkward (I watched it with a little cousin).  Liam Niesen's character, the dad or whatever, looked absolutely too bazaar for me to consider classy or "arsty".  It was cute, but probably could have benefit from being longer.  Ponyo is a doll though, she brightens up the screen every time.

--

I watched Hot Tub Time Machine.  Perfect way to describe the plot.
I liked it!  The hah-ha's aren't there every single second.  Some of it was obvious.  But it was enjoyable.  Probably better as a rental.  But it does have probably the happiest ending you will ever see in a movie.
