"So you want me to put the tip of this into that hole of yours?"
The slightly slippery tip wouldn't slip into the hole.

Yay, preordered from a good retailer!

I seriously hope that's only because they reached their limit already (which in itself would be surprising). I would really hate to find out I put down $50 on nothing.
Yeah I'm sure it is because they reached their limit or something along those lines. I highly doubt they were completely cut off and no one has said anything about it. PR nightmare if that was the case.

Is the Xillia CE GameStop-only in North America?  All I'm seeing is "participating retailers," which doesn't tell me much, and the promo image only shows a URL for the PAL version.

I'd prefer not to buy from GameStop if possible.

Might not be an issue any more since it seems that the Collector's Edition is no longer available even from Gamestop.....unfortunatly I found this out when I was planning on preordering it. >.>

I'm a day late for Lucina's birthday, but might as well jump in a little.

Code:
I would really rank Olivia above Sumia due to class spread, but otherwise that looks about right.

Persoanlly I like pairing Lucina with the avatar to get a Morgan with Aether.....sadly I don't have a lot else to throw in about her.

Spent yesterday playing to get a few conversations that would be a pain in the rear to get in my next two planned runs (pairing Mariebelle and Chrom, Avatar and Olivia, and the subsequent convos). Then I did some grinding to get Renown, finally getting the Tiki's Tear reward. I might grind to get the boots later, but I'm not sure yet. Also I just realized that the next set of DLC is probably going to be the Future pack rather than the Bonds pack because while the first Bonds pack was before the Future pack, the other two were after it. So another two weeks till I likely get started on my grindy playthroughs. x_x

So I watched Defiance last night, it was a very enjoyable sci-fi show. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here. Interestingly enough, it seems to me like it is the opposite half of a sci-fi/western than Firefly. I mean Firefly focused on a group of "outlaws" travelling from planet to planet in a universe consisting solely of humans, Defiance focuses on a sheriff on Earth that now has a population of aliens.....I don't know, the comparison makes more sense in my head than I think my explanation does.

I was expecting them to move straight into the season 2, but I was hoping for the bonds DLC first. Oh well three weeks till bonds I suppose then.

As an aside, I disliked the Spring of Truth paralogue. I first tried it with my normal team and then the NPC attacked the gods twice in one turn and died before I realized she was that stupid. Next time through just used spotpass characters that I haven't touched for half my team so that the mirrors were wimps.

I am disappointed that Sands of Destruction did not make the list. I went into that expecting something awesome and came out with a shallow copy of Xenogears storyline that didn't understand what made Xenogears great and the stupidest villian plot that I have ever seen.

Double post because "One Piece x Toriko x Dragon Ball Z Crossover" is as awesome and weird as it could be.
But seriously... we all agree that even Krillin could kill everyone in the two other shows, right?

That depends, does the "amount of talking till next move" counter get reset every time a DBZ character gets hit? If so then I think even Usopp could eventually take down Goku. :p

But really who cares about whether or not characters from each series could take each other down? What matters is how interesting the fights are....and sadly DBZ's fights are on average the least interesting fo the three, at least in my opinion.

P.S. Sunny from Toriko could probably take the DBZ crew with his most recent power up in the manga (because it is completely and ridiculously broken). I imagine the other three Heavenly Kings will be getting similiar power ups during the current arc.....so yeah.

Edit: Actually I just remembered Coco's current ultimate techniqu, so he he actually probably could win in a one on one fight against anyone in DBZ also. Only one who might be able to dodge that technique is Goku.

13 hours left at the time I write this. Looks like we will be hitting 4 million. I doubt we will hit 4.5 which is a shame because I want the stronghold. I am giving us 50/50 odds of hitting 4.25 though, so crafting numera should make it in. Yay.

Side note:



I think eleven levels might actually be hit, but only time will tell.

Been playing Defiance lately. I'm still not completely sure of what I think about it. It is enjoyable enough for me to keep playing it, but I'm not completely sure whether I "like" it yet.
25  Media / Single-Player RPGs / Re: New pick ups (curious about opinions) on: April 03, 2013, 06:52:24 AM
Only one of those three that I have played is Eternal Sonata (PS3 version). I am very meh on the game. It seemed like an interesting concept, but I just could not get into it. It has been a few years since I played it, so I can't recall what I disliked about it. I think I just didn't find myself drawn into the storyline enough to care about anything happening, but I'm not completely sure.

So I just caught up on the last two episodes of Magi....and all I have to say from having watched it is....what? I don't know if anyone else on the site either reads the manga or watch the show, so my following rant may make no sense to anyone, but I need to vent so enjoy anyways. >.>

Code:
So we are currently in the middle of the Zagan arc which is one of my favorite arcs in the manga, and the anime is just comepletely messing this whole thing up. I realize that things have to change in the conversion from manga to anime. They have had some changes earlier in the series that I didn't mind (even if I thought it worked better in the original). The changes in this arc however have just completely destroyed it. I guess I did get an alright fight in one of the episodes I watched today, but everything else....ugh. By placing the "mentor battes" where they did they got rid of the emotional ties that those fights had in the manga. Having Ren lose his arm in the dungeon removes all of the guilt that he feels following the dungeon for nearly killing both Sinbad and Alibaba. And then there is Alibaba.....having Alibaba fall just misses the point of his character. He had already been in that exact situation once before, only with much stronger emotional ties to what was going on and rather than fall into depravity he saught a better solution for everyone. That is why he is Alladin's king choice. Having him fall into depraviy in this situation just misses the point of his character so badly. And the previews had Morgiana fighting fallen Alibaba next episode, which makes perfect sense considering she is supposed to be in near death conditions right now. Yeah I'm sure Zagan healed her but....ugh. I'm getting two potential vibes from this episode. Either a. this is the start of a FMA style split in the story from the source material(which would be a wonderful excuse for me to stop watching) or b. someone on the production staff has a hard on for Ren Hakuryuu and is altering the storyline to make Ren 100x more awesome in this arc since the person thought Red got a raw deal in this arc (which is sort of missing the point of both the arc and Ren). Potentially both. *sigh*

Ok rant over, you all can get back to talking about whatever else is on right now.
27  Media / Single-Player RPGs / Re: Fire Emblem 3DS on: March 29, 2013, 07:10:00 AM
Well a new Spotpass character is up. I like how they are actually somewhat varying the reason you can recruit these people.

Code:
So Yen'Fe is an alternate universe version. Which is different from Emm who survived with permeneant damage. And that is different from Wallace who is probably a self aware Risen. And that is different from Gangrel who.....is never really explained. I guess he just ran away. Just two more characters left now.  

We are also getting pretty close to the Bonds DLC being released aren't we? I mean there are only two maps from the first DLC series left, and I doubt they are going to take a long break between DLC series like they did in Japan. Soon I shall begin my epic grind fest!

Edit: Hopefully fixed my tags. X_X

I'm looking forward to it..... not as much as the sailor moon remake but I'm on-board for some Goku with my Usagi this summer...

As an aside I will say this..... best promotional piece ever right here.... pure genious....



Yeah okay I admit that that is freaking awesome even if I'm not a much of a DBZ fan.

OH MY GOSH SUPAH SAIYAN GOD!!!!!!11111ONEONEONEoneoneunoichione

30  Media / Single-Player RPGs / Re: Megami Tensei Topic on: March 21, 2013, 07:52:43 AM
So on the topic of Naoto...

Code:
I was among the people who predicted Naoto's gender before the game came out due to her three or so seconds appearance in the opening video(for the original P4....not sure if it is P4G) where a female is walking in front of a TV screen with Naoto on it. Whether that was actually supposed to be a hint to her gender or just a giant coincidence is anyone's guess.

Yeah, as much as I love both P3 and 4, I'd rather P5 be darker like 3.. or even darker. But I always end preferring stuff like mainline SMTs anyway.

Am I the only person who doesn't find P3 to be dark? I mean originally I didn't want to play it originally because it looked like it was going to be so dark(which is a style that I don't care for), but then I was out of games and a freind kept recomending it so I tried it. And it turned out to not be dark. The storyline itself has a bit of a nihilistic tinge to it, but that is overcome by the power of freindship, so I can hardly say the story itself is dark and while the atmosphere has some dark trappings to it, they don't actually create a dark atmosphere but more or a....adolescent imitation of a dark atmosphere that misses the point. I think I was uneasy with the setting for like five seconds before I stopped caring about the copious amounts of blood in the midnight hour.

I personally would rather have something more akin to P4 because that was at least being honest about what it was. >.>
