The history of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is now so complicated that every time I tell it I contradict myself, and whenever I do get it right I'm misquoted. So the publication of this omnibus edition seemed like a good opportunity to set the record straight--or at least firmly crooked.

I give it a month before capcom files a complaint.

Lol yeah, pay attention to who's posting it. Capcom-Unity is owned and run by Capcom, it's just their "community" page. Capcom (USA) is actually really cool about promoting fan-made stuff. They had OCRemix do the entire soundtrack for Street Fighter II HD Remix, and they've had "Mega Ran" (Random) perform nerdcore hip-hop at events and let him record Mega Man related music without having to pay licensing fees.

And yeah this game looks AMAZING. Can't wait to play it!

Agreed with Dice on the insanity behind getting characters for Stella Deus. But beyond that, I'm really glad Ryan "Shiguma" warmed me up to Stella Deus before I played it. He played the import, and then I played the domestic version. And frankly I really like it. I like the weird no-nose character art, I like the desolate world, and I LOVE the 3-way conflict between a religion of pacifists who pray for God to kill everyone, a bunch of militarist activists involved in the wholesale slaughter of the resigned pacifists as part of their hope to save the world by man's hand, and then the insane middle-ground where you find yourself as the protagonist.

Seriously, it's a very memorable SRPG for me.

Also, I still love FF8, mostly for its plot THEMES (not so much plot execution) and the art / music.

Also also, I love Ash attacking FF2.

Never played SO3, but I know why people panned it.

I found Neal's selections to be the most surprising! TWO Idea Factory / Compile Heart OSTs? Very strange, but very exciting.

Also <3 DUST, and that PSP Suikoden has some surprisingly good tunes.

They exist for a special purpose. Maybe they'll do a third album after the Aldouin expansion is out ...?

Ya I know. Sounds dumb. I get that.

But if you're down with some sort of weird derivation of Zelda *and games inspired by Zelda* (3D Dot Game Heroes, Sword&Sworcery), you're gonna dig this.

A small island in the bay next to Fukuoka (southern Japan).

I will go here. When I go to Japan I will spend a full day here, if not more.

WHO'S COMIN WITH ME?!

Games don't cause depression. but depressed people can play the crap out of a videogame. (Living proof right here!)

Also, "responsible" for addressing depression? No. but it's probably a really good idea. Some games have tried at different levels. And I appreciate that.

I have more to say but I can't word it properly this early in the morning. I'll try again later.

Good to see ya on here Deg.

The first time I played CT, I was pressing A to acknowledge the text box telling you to enter LARA, which would mean me pressing ALARA each time. As she was getting closer to the machine, I started to panic and swear at the game until *SCREEEEAM*
I loaded my prior save (which was a while ago) and redid it until I figured out what I was doing wrong.
I refused to let her be crippled because of some stupid mistake.

You and about 10,000 other people, amirite? Can't keep going through that game without loading prior save and waiting through that whole camping cut scene so you get another shot at it.

WOW that's a pretty beastly list of stuff.

I've thrown a pretty sizeable bid on Actraiser OST but I doubt I'll be able to hold it. Good luck all. That'd be a great thing for Yuzo Koshiro to sign when he's in the US (MAGFest, WashD.C.) in January.

One question: what's the deal with that Secret of Evermore "promo" CD? Was that officially sent out by Jeremy Soule, or is that just some bootleg rip-off?

If you jump on the Phoenix Wright train, also get Ghost Trick. Fantastic game IMO.

But yeah, 999 is my fav DS game ever.

a friend of mine gave me a 3DS. FOR FREE.

So I was about to buy VLR, but then I heard the 3DS ver has some save file corruption issue ...? Anyone have any more info on this? Any reason I should hold out for Vita to play this?

I cleared two of the stories (Jedi Knight, Sith Sorcerer) and then unsubbed. Now that it's F2P I plan on doing Imperial Agent next (apparently a VERY good story).

Really great content in this game, absolutely worth taking the time to play through.

Aw, now I feel bad for coming here just to post a track from somebody's comedy routine.  But I'm gonna do it anyway.  Beware, the volume is kind of high.  FYI, it's also got some bad language.

(Since we are just getting through elections, I should mention that the first bit is about Obama running for President in 2008 while he was a Senator.  Not trying to stir anything up - it's just a funny bit that could be about anyone who's in one office and trying to get elected to a better one.)

Hannibal Burress is so awesome. I listen to him at least once a week, often before bedtime (I laugh myself to sleep ... it's better than crying oneself to sleep!)

I already own the IGTM soundtrack and I love it (because I love all things Jim Guthrie). Other than that ... "Shoot Many Robots" is from Rich Vreeland, aka Disasterpeace, who did FEZ. Very interesting acoustic / folk soundtrack. But the best of those soundtracks for my money is Dear Esther. That said, I ain't listened to Spelunky OST yet. RCR is cool but ... intentionally a play off of classic OSTs, so it's cool but sort of a novelty.

Among Tier 2 (almost all Joypad releases), Kanto Symphony is of interest to me. I'm also interested in listening to Jottobots just 'cuz it's Josh Whelchel.

I'll probably do some sort of special coverage on OSV for this bundle.

I'm actually ... kinda excited about this one. Is there something wrong with me?

I mean, it won't be great. But it could be fun. I like Rolfe in general ... not the most knowledgeable guy on games, but he's got great delivery.
