I'm disappointed in myself.  Due 90% to poor planning and 10% due to a few s.link dialog mistakes, there's no way I can get max S.Links in this playthrough of Persona 3.  Four links remaining, but there aren't enough school days remaining in the year to do them.  Too many vacation days in December and January.  I'll have to settle for a full Compendium (minus Orpheus Telos) thanks in part to my previous run.  After this I might try The Answer, but I'm not sure I want to. 

I think that Advance Wars 2 and Advance Wars: Dual Strike are better than any Fire Emblem game that I've beaten (4, 6, 7, 8, and the DS remake of 3.1), especially when you throw in multiplayer.  Days of Ruin wasn't very good, but neither was Radiant Dawn.  I'm going to give AW the edge for fun multiplayer and for how awesome Dual Strike is. 

I'm not going to vote.  These are two of my top five favorite games of all time.  **** all y'all. 

I'm not optimistic, but it's *possible* that they'll use this PS1 release (which is undoubtedly cheaper and easier to put on PSN than a fully localized edition of the PSP remake) as a barometer.  If it sells well, then maybe they'll be encouraged to put the PSP version up on PSN in the future. 

...all of that's probably a pipe dream, but game companies have done similar before. 

My 4 in February plan is not happening at all.  For some reason I decided to start a New Game+ of Persona 3 FES (currently in early November) and that derailed it a bit.  Then I decided to start up my Christmas gift of Skyrim on Steam (currently right in the middle of both the Mage College and the Companions quests) and that derailed it a bit more. 

Well, looks like $120 to $180 of my annual budget is going towards some new NISA titles....

Dragon's Dogma expansion is EXACTLY like the G versions of every Monster Hutner game.  Almost every Monster Hunter game in Japan has an expanded version come out a year or two later with G added to the title.  MH Freedom Unite is MH Portable 2nd G; MH Tri Ultimate is MH Tri G, etc.  You guys were right on during the podcast - it's a move to draw in new players and to sate existing mega-fans hungry for more. 

So while it seems like a cash grab, and people will complain, it's 100% in line with Capcom's Monster Hunter strategy and a slightly better deal than the recent shenanigans with Marvel vs. Capcom 3 or Street Fighter X Tekken (neither of whose second editions I support).  Plus, players of the original Dragon's Dogma get several in-game bonuses in Dark Arisen, including several thousand extra crystals and a bunch of free armors.  I never played Dragon's Dogma (despite being a Monster Hunter fanatic), but I'm kinda interested in Dark Arisen. 

That's Aksys and not Atlus.  But still... this kinda sucks.  I'd like to play both of the P2 remakes back to back eventually. 

I'm replaying Persona 3 FES, intending to get 100% compendium and to beat the secret boss.  Right now in early October and on pace to... do at least okay on those fronts.  After I finish this if I'm still hungry I'll play The Answer.

The only things RG has on SoA is some decent weapon / item / skill crafting systems and action-y combat (which might not even be as solid as SoA's, which is turn-based but often excellent). SoA has WAY better environments (especially its awesome world map), characters, story, and audio. Both games have some pretty good side quests and a cartoon aesthetic hat holds up.

Yeah, I really enjoy both games (I play layer Rogue Galaxy last year and liked it just fine; I played SoA for the first time in high school, at least 10 years ago), but Skies of Arcadia is better.

I'm interested in Dream Team, if only because I freakin' *LOVE* Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story.  Jumping into Luigi's dreams sounds like a good time. 

Decided to celebrate Valentine's Day by playing Persona 3.  I broke up with my girlfriend some months ago; don't judge me. 

Psychonauts is insane.  Currently fighting the Den Mother and having trouble in the second half of the fight.  She turns off the lights and I'm supposed to use Clairvoyance to fight her using her own field of vision, but I'm getting stuck. 

Also started (for the first time)... Skyrim.  I've never played more than 30 minutes of an Elder Scrolls game before, but I received Skyrim as a Steam gift so now I'm playing it.  Finished Unbound, killed a dragon, and now I'm hanging out with the Companions. 

Played some Persona 4 Arena at my buddy's Super Bowl party, and had such a good time that I picked up the game for myself two days ago.  HOLY CRAP story mode has a lot of dialog.  Combat is excellent, and I particularly like using Kanji, Mitsuru, and the MC. 

Started this Four in February nonsense after work earlier this evening with Psychonauts.  Neat setting, good dialog, and a FUCKTON of things to collect.  Platforming is... decent, but not the best I've seen on the PS2.  But I totally dig it so far and I'll keep at it until I get those credits rolling.

10,000,000 is the best match-3 puzzle game.  Mostly because it has some RPG dungeon grinder trappings.  Everything is made better with RPG elements.  Cost me four bucks on Steam, but I think it might be cheaper than that on iOS.
