If people think Radiant Dawn is hard, maybe they should play the old Japanese FEs. Somehow I doubt the critics played Thracia 776...

Fire Emblem has never been as easy as the first three that came over here: GBA one (with Hector/Lyn/Eliwood), Sacred Stones, and Path of Radiance. Maybe Intelligent Systems thought the Western audience was broken in enough? Because seriously, even hard mode was a bit of a snore in those games..

But I'm biased and I digress.

One game I've noticed people love to hate (what? I'm too lazy to think of 5) is Xenogears. Although I'm not sure if the hate is entirely at the game, and not sometimes at its, er, fandom. Complaints ranging from, god this game is really fucking long (and then the same people go and bitch about how Disc 2 was rushed. MAKE UP YOUR GODDAMNED MIND), the graphics suck (yes the pixelly characters can be a headache :P), the story is complicated as hell for whatever reason (and it is, but I'll take it over a lot of stories).

But I know the game gets a lot of love too so maybe I'm crazy and just stuck on the wrong end of anti-Xenogears rants. =P

Habs are killing me. UGH. I swear, if they go out, fuck the playoffs. After them I really could careless.

Well. Not true. I care enough to not want the Pens or Wings to win it.

Texting is easier. You can reply whenever the hell you want :P

Played some Brawl, saw lots of Final Smashes (I FORGOT ABOUT SNAKE!) and a couple intros. Failed epically at actually playing. Should really open my own copy.

PLayed two missions of DMC4..... yeah, I really need that game.

Rooted around for extra crap in Super Metroid. Now all I need is an energy tank, a reserve tank and uh... six missiles :P

I got my license a few months ago.:P

Could have had it ten years ago.

Haha.

Just beat Ridley in Super Metroid (yes, I'm slow, but I work like 60 hours a week and there's playoff hockey on!) and pondering whether to hunt around for extra missiles/tanks/bombs, or to just go to Tourian.

Nice.

I want to see this rap video. That's bound to be hilarious. :P

Downloaded Super Metroid a day ago on Virtual Console. Last thing I beat was that lava boss.

When I finish I'm going back to Fire Emblem. Still in chapter 9 of Path of Radiance I think.

Beat chapter 9 of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance after a bunch of days of not playing. Was easier than I thought.

Not terribly fond of the laguz in battle yet though.

Actually tried playing Sacred Stones too since I never did beat the English version, wondering why the hell I kept this save. I lost so many units... delete time! Also a little lost with the story since it's been a while. Time for a redo :P

Fire Emblem: Seima no -- err, Path of Radiance. Finally beat chapter 8 but had to restart a lot because Boyd and his shitty growth doesn't like staying alive, apparently. So, I had to throw a bunch of bonus EXP at him.

Now in 9, had it going well and Marcia showed up, almost done before fucking Mist had to die. :P Can't seem to save the homes in the far northwest, though...

Wondering when's the last time I posted in one of these... anyway, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Gotten to chapter 7 with all my units intact and hoping I can recruit the mage before anyone dies. Failed twice so far.

Got a lot of extra stuff than the FEs I'm used to, like the bonus EXP. Yeah, I'm a couple years behind.

EB is ridiculously painless for me to go to. I work in the mall and it has.. EB! Shocker! I tend to miss the school crowd thank god, and I avoid weekends at the mall unless I'm working. (Hell I'd like to avoid it then too but that's another story...)

Sometimes Future Shop is cheaper though (like in the case of the Wii component cable.. $10 less at FS? Okay!) and in the mall, so still painless.

Staff pretty much knows me by now. (One of them even said they haven't seen me on WoW for a while.... I said I don't play! :P) Ex-staff remembers me. When I pre-order stuff and come in when it's out they go 'Oh yeah, you're Liz and you're looking for Metroid (or whatever)'... before I can give them my receipt.. XD

I actually haven't pre-ordered anything since Metroid though.. I've gotten lazy. Wonder when Fire Emblem DS is out...

I almost fell asleep reading this thread.

I'm serious. :P

But yeah,. I used to fall asleep playing PSO.. and watching Excel Saga, of all things. WTF. I tend to not dream when falling asleep while doing something, it's weird.

....Interesting. :P

I got an audio in an e-mail about a month ago telling me that my lover, Raymond was conspiring against me.

In a creepy Optimus Prime-like voice. :P Yeah it was the TF DVD promotion thing. Which I never did buy...
