The fun. You sucked it all out.

Pokémon comes out tomorrow. I had originally pre-ordered it from Amazon -- but apparently because of the weekend holiday they won't be sending it out until the 17th... canceled my pre-order and just went into GameStop. There's no way I'm waiting close to a week for the new Pokémon Generation.

I'm going to be unavailable for the next couple of days..

I was looking for a good place to get a haircut and stumbled on this. I was laughing so hard at the childish reviews and owners rebuttals: http://m.yelp.com/biz/bolt-barbers-los-angeles

You're just getting older and interpreting your not giving a shit about the new generations of stuff as meaning its not good or doesn't have merit. It happens almost everyone.

Believe it or not the shit from when we were teenagers was just as crappy and the people were just as dumb as they are now. Everything just seemed more fun and interesting because it was new and let's face it, we were dumb. Same goes for the previous generations.

A lot of us are born when our parents are in the type of mindset you seem to be in. Angry about the "current state" of the world of art, they tell tall tales of the good old days and hype up the era they grew up in to a mythological status at a time when your mind is most vulnerable to that kind of malarkey. Then the grandparents jump in and tell you your parents are wrong and what youth should really be like.

I'm not saying we shouldn't respect the past. I love the past, all of my life took place there. I just want everyone one to realize that we're looking at it from Inception-like layers of nostalgia. Starting with the haze of newness and nostalgia for your own youth and then adding another layer of thick illogical fondness for every generation of nostalgic ancestors relating the stories of their generation to wide eyed descendants before us.

It has created an over emphasis on past triumphs and a weird deification of any person or thing from a previous era.
Great things are accomplished during every generation. Its just this weird nostalgia-ception thing we call history that tries to make us think only great things happened during the time of our predecessors. And that our achievements are somehow not as great. Ok now I'm really rambling. What I meant to say was:

No matter what anyone tells you, whatever time it is right now is the very best time to be alive.

This game was a favorite just over a decade ago. I remember buying it as a kid because the box looked awesome (hadn't heard of it otherwise), and lo and behold, the game blew my mind with its seamless blend of on-foot hack-n-slash and aerial dragon combat. This game was really something else.
When I thought of it again recently, I just had to find a copy of the original big box version.
Kind of surprised this isn't on gog.com or something now, but it's no matter; it works perfectly on Windows 7 with a simple patch and a tiny little trick when getting into the game.
Had me ecstatic as hell when I played a bit of it yesterday.

This is so hot.

oh my goodness I am in love with this Cherry Pie strain, most excellent sativa. I also got this other strain called Lambs Breath, that weed almost actually smells like doo doo but it doesnt taste like that at all, it has a very distinct flavor. Also got some OG Kush but the cherry pie was definitely the show taker of this batch.

That sounds horrible, I wonder how many cases there have been of this?

Weird how I will feel perfectly fine buying a handheld on launch, but never EVER a console, except maybe a nintendo one.

Working on independent features is perhaps the best way of keeping your script not tampered with. I can only imagine what some dumbass producers would do with your scripts to make it more "marketable" or whatever...best of luck anyway, hope something comes out of it for you.

These were pretty hilarious, the most I've laughed at YouTube videos for a long while:

Since I decided not to pass on to next gen anytime soon I decided to get a new controller for my PS3 since my current one is shit

A quick clip of mine from Ryse son of Rome. Should point out I'm only playing on normal on my first run.



And yeah I sort of forgot to block a little towards the end.

Game looks beautiful on my TV.

Some cool stuff in here. Particularly the PS Vita reference had me going all "well damn!".

I have a spare copy of Oath of Felghana on Steam if anyone wants it.

Anyone else into flight simming? I know it's nerdy as fuck and all my friends take the piss out of me for it as i'd expect them too but there is a good community

Just thought i'd test out fraps and tbh it kind of destroyed my framerate but enjoy my video anyway ..

so dead sexy, and I have one just like it.

I just saw that tonight too and was like daayumm should I pick one up doe? Then I woke up and realized id be an asshole for buying that after getting an XBO, PS4 and multiple games.. Good buy though. Want to play that zelda sometime next year or so.

Only one thing in Thailand can scar a man this deeply. Was she post-op or pre-op Peter?

Pssh, you kids and your dealers.

All I have to do is walk down the street and waltz right into a nice, air conditioned facility.

Well I just woke up and saw Amazon had a flash deal for Skyrim Legendary for $20, so I bought the PC version and bought this fancy 1000 page hard back guide for $35, I was so tempted to buy it yesterday, but hesitated, now im glad I did.

As much as I love my consoles/handhelds, I need more PC games, my PC has barely been touched since i built it last year. Only a few games I even want though.

Just bought shadowrun returns on the steam sale. tempted to get borderlands 2 or the witcher 2 seeing how cheap they are but I'm not sure when I'll get my gaming PC to be able to play them, ah well hopefully they will still be going for cheap at the next sale

Hey everyone,

Last week I went on a little trip to Dobuita. Thought you may enjoy some of the pics I took, especially Tom's snack, the famed Yokosuka Burger and a very familiar staircase.

I also did a little write-up on my blog: http://blog.oyatsucafe.com/dobuita-street/

If you have any questions about the area feel free to ask here.

The holy pilgrimage.

Once you have walked the hallowed streets of Yokosuka, you are permitted to enter Shenmue heaven.

Sony aren't doing it for me currently with the PS4, the games announced for it so far have been a bore. PS3's upcoming games means I shall stay happy with PS3 for a long while yet.
I'm actually much more interested in Microsoft's current line up for Xbox One, way more Japanese games coming for that system, it's sort of reminding me more of the original Xbox, for that reason; plenty of Japanese support and the Western studios work like Ryse and Killer Instinct is also great to see.

Why Wii U you ask? Well, since Nintendo have now tried to appeal to their original audience again for Wii U, by doing away with mandatory motion controls (which I was never a big fan of in games outside of the ones I played with my brother). The upgrade in motion controls a nice bonus and the party games on offer for it (typical Wii Sports etc fare) will be fun to play with him. For myself though, I like the tablet controller they have made for the Wii U; it's going to be great for adventure games, strategy games and RPG games when you need to quickly look at the map and you don't need to pause the game to do that.

The actual games available for Wii U do appeal to me. I mean, there isn't a lot on offer (if anything, it's a fucking travesty how little Nintendo have done in the extra time they have had) but what is there interests me greatly. I'll bullet points the games that I really want to play:

-It appeals to me in an old school fashion with games like Wind Waker HD since it's my favourite Zelda next to Ocarina of Time and it's been a long time since I last played it.

-I'm also guaranteed a Zelda without motion controls for the Wii U. Finally. I found Twilight Princess incredibly difficult to control and didn't touch Skyward Sword for that very reason. I'm also guaranteed plenty of Mario games, since that seems to be all that Nintendo like to make nowadays. Not played a console Mario in decades.

-Platinum Games support for the system is another big factor for me, I love their games since it's classic Capcom that I am greatly missing in my life nowadays since the actual Capcom have gone to shit. Wonderful 101 is very much made to be a nostalgic game, reminding me of those Saturday morning cartoons infused with classic beat 'em up action goodness.

-Then there's Monolith Soft's next RPG, X and even though I didn't love Xenoblade as most people on the internet, I did really like it and X looks to be a big improvement over Xenoblade.

-That Atlus & Intelligent Systems crossover, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is a curiousity. And really, I'm obsessed with Atlus games and want to play every game that they release. Just seeing all of the mainline SMT characters (such as seeing Demi-Fiend from 3...in HD) in one game is enough to get me excited. I'll be especially excited if it's mainline SMT gameplay meets Fire Emblem SRPG gameplay.

-Fingers crossed for a game from Treasure for Wii U.

It just seems apparent that they rushed it out to get out to next gen first, to beat the competition but it has actually ended up making them look weaker and crushed most of their third party support. They're in the same catch 22 as Sony are with Vita; third party publishers/developers are waiting for the systems to sell better before committing to them and in return, Nintendo and Sony are not willing to pay for any exclusivity since they feel that their name brand should be justification enough. It's just class A arrogance on their part.

Phew that was a large post. #-o

TL;DR version: PS4 bores me, Xbox One is the one that excites me the most but is too expensive for me at the moment, Wii U has only a few select games, but what little that they have, interests me greatly; quality over quantity - as with the case of the PS Vita.

doing a non lethal playthrough of DE:HR, picked up persona 4 again and playing some shadowrun returns

Ys V (SNES) fan translation released:

Ys V - Kefin, Lost City of Sand
At the end of December, 1995, Falcom released Ys V for the Super Famicom, choosing to take a gamble and radically alter the gameplay formula of the series to mixed reviews. The game is now much more in the vein of Zelda, though it's not nearly so involved as those games. New to the series is the ability to jump and manually swing your sword/hold up your shield, as well as a rather interesting magic system, based around the notion of alchemy. Different spells are created by combining three elements of varying types, for a decent amount of variety. The game received a bit of a lashing in the press for how easy it was, and an update, Ys V Expert, was released only three months later. This update primarily raised the difficulty and added a time attack mode.

The game spent many years as the sole entry in the Ys series never to have been seen in English, in any form, and for good reason; the process of hacking this game has been a nightmare and has been plagued with dozens upon dozens of crashes. Said crashes were crippling to my motivation to work on the game, but the translation is now complete. Enjoy!

Supposedly it's more like a Quintet game rather than an Ys game. This is the last Ys game in the mainline series that needed an English release.

Well I finally finished Tales of Xillia, and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the game. The production values could be a bit better and it was a shame all the sea port areas were re-hashed and re-skinned and it was blatantly obvious. But the story and characters are great, it reminded me of watching a well made anime, and its one of the few games I have seen that blends anime into a JRPG so well, and I think the character models looked pretty darn awesome too, but thats about the extent of visuals sadly, many area look and scope seem like it could have been done on PS2, it feels like a bit more enhanced PS2 JRPG, and while thats not bad completely, it leaves you wanting a little bit more, but with such involving story and characters you can almost over look it.

battes are fun, very addicting action combat system, the ability to link characters and customize them with a plethora of different skills really gives the ability to switches alot of things up in battle and experiment. Sure the Lithium Orb (which is basically the sphere grid from FFX, thus bringing up the PS2 again) is kinda of stolen, but it works well for this setup, and I enjoyed leveling my character other atributes with it. Here is another small gripe but doesnt end up really being a gripe at all, so the game is way too easy on normal, and I mean you could play it with your eyes closed, its that easy, thankfully the JRPG gods blessed these devs with a revelation taking from many other game genres in putting a difficulty settting in a JRPG. Wow how did they not think of that sooner? Its scarce but im glad its there, but i'll have to play again to see how difficult it actually is on other settings, which brings me to my next point...

New Game + in this game is alot more than the usual New Game + in many other JRPGs. So at the beginning of the game you choose a character and you progress the story through that characters point of view, you cant watch all the cut scenes or even do all the quests and see everything in one playthrough (which is probably a hit or miss with some people). And that works fantasically with new game plus because it gives you a bit more incentive to actually play the game again. You start your new game + with the usual fare, keep levels, items and character progress from the last play through. Just this time you get a whole other point of view, and there are many times in the game where your party, and the main 2 characters split and go off on their own and certain events happen that can only be seen when choosing that characters perspective, its actually significant scenes to the story and not felt tacked on or short events that really defeat the purpose.

All in all Tales of Xillia was a very unique experience, it blends so many different elements from gaming and anime, and does so blissfully like no other JRPG I have seen, it has a certain perfection for me since I love both (although the game is far from perfect). Tales of Xillia is a very focused experience and has many well done touches and refinements that other JRPGs simply look over. The game definitely isnt for everyone, but if you like anime, JRPGs, and want an 80 hour experience with a well told tale with little strings left hanging loose and fun combat definitely give it a try.

Are you sure that's what he means? That's a pretty standard storage container thing. I'm sure all mopeds/motorbikes I have one. Apart from in films. It's not cool to have one for chase scenes.
it's not identical but it's similar, same moped style. it's hard to find one identical to the 80s. these are the closest I can find
