I've got a PSP-3000, maybe I'll set that up for taking screenshots... I was too lazy to ever do it before -__-;; It's a really nice system, though! If you really like the PSP you should definitely consider upgrading, but keep in mind that some people have issues with the interlacing/scanlines on the screen? I'm not a huge tech buff or anything so I don't really notice it myself

It's a ~fantasy~ game, anything can happen!
This just about killed me while I was playing through P3P on my Vita earlier this year.
I CFW'ed up my old 2000 using that thread recently. Gotta get ready for the VC3 fanslation!
I wouldn't normally mind perma death, but it took my friend Doc something like three years to make it through the first GBA Fire Emblem thanks to perma. After sitting bystander to his anguish for that long, I'm kinda scared of FE's perma death now, haha.I am totally going to play it casual on normal like I did in the demo because fuck it!
I avoided the series before because of permadeath.

No. You must not sell your Vita. No.

It makes sense to me. Would be interesting if we did a formal survey.

Anyone want to take part in a Zelda marathon?
My boyfriend and I are powering our way through all the Zelda games. We got through LttP in 3 days. I'd never beaten it before!

That's okay, but you HAVE played Advance Wars, right?? If not, well, good day to you.

That's the only one I HAVE beaten! Great game, I liked Link's Awakening too, but I got stuck when I was a kid and never finished it. Not big on the 3D Zeldas, but I'd like to try Zelda 1 again some day...

Game Boy Advance emulators are easy to run, you have no excuse.
I partly blame Nintendo, they need to get more GBA classics up on the eShop.

Damnit SQEX, put BBS (and Crisis Core) on the PSN already.
Oh yeah, forgot about how nice that feels! But the PSP UI is so hard to go back to after the Vita.
No, no. It's okay. You can still sit here next to me.
Tempted. I've got a looooot of unbeaten Zeldas. It's embarrassing, really.Anyone want to take part in a Zelda marathon?

I really hate the Vita UI though so I wish I had the option of going back to the XMB.
You aren't suggesting piracy, are you? D:
Oh good! I still have a place.
I have a feeling my idea of essential video games is different from everyone else's. D:

I used to play handhelds a lot as a kid, but as I grew older I always got bored with handheld games no matter what they were. I really enjoyed Hotel Dusk but never finished it.

I love the kind of games made for handhelds, but they are so damn uncomfortable. My backlog of handheld games eclipses my console backlog.

I thought I was going to hate the Vita when I read that they'd tossed out the XMB, but instead I absolutely adore it. Favorite handheld ever.
Then what's the point of an emulator when I own a GBA? :s

I'll share mine when I get my Fire Emblem bundle but I'll probably shut down network functions if whenever I hear the kernel hack is getting released publicly.

Swapnote!
Just kidding, I don't think anyone uses Swapnote anymore.
*stays in the past playing all the PSP that were missed*
I think this might be a real trend. I've definitely played handhelds (DS/PSP/3DS/Vita) far more than home consoles this past gen.
Yup. For the last 5 years up until now all I have been playing were handheld games (Well, aside from WoW xP). Still love them and am glad I have a Vita now, just need a 3DS! >.<
Any girlgaffers read this?
Read up to part B so far. It's pretty damn good so far; definitely like the way it's presented, has a strong evidence-based approach eg rather than focusing on anecdotes or the authors own personal bias, it basically presents a lot of research in that particular area and allows it to speak for itself, while debunking a lot of clearly pseduo-scientific or poorly controlled scientific studies on gender differences, I'm slightly skeptical the book might have a anti-biological bent like a lot of work in the field, but the author makes a strong case for how external influences can affect us on a subconscious level and it's role in reinforcing stereotypes about gender!
Edit. Oops, I just realized the book is already in the OP! oh well. probably didn't notice because it has a slightly different title in australia.

probably didn't notice because it has a slightly different title in australia.Me too! Saw Style Savvy 2 at a kiosk. I really enjoyed the previous one for NDS.
My XBL is 'Mitsuho' but I'm not on often. Portable gaming, audiobooks when I do cardio - regular books when I need to escape, anime at night, and visual novels or import games when I'm on the PC.
Edit:
Not yet. Saw it on goodreads.com and put it on my to-read list though.

I actually don't like portable gaming too much but the systems get the games I want so I kinda have to buy them.

My PSN is in my user profile
Wish I had a 3DS code to share :'(
Sent a request (DoomXploder7)
I'm planning to get style savvy as soon as i get my refund cheque next week.
I think I like handheld gaming much more than console gaming, but it's like what I9 says, where the games I want are is what matters.
Most modern ones have TV out for the 'console experience,' right? I have the cables for my PSP3000 but I've only used it like three times.
Edit:
I imported the first one and as soon as I saw that you got 1 piece of the same for your own closet each time you bought a garment for the store, I was like, this game'll sell!
I've got Style Savvy Trendsetters and seriously it's one of my favorite 3DS games. It's devilishly fun to coordinate a really ugly outfit that "works" within the constraints of the game and then get people to buy it and tell you what an amazing stylist you are :3
Not yet, but it looks pretty interesting!
Also hnnnggg your icon <3 I just started watching Tamako Market and am dying in its cuteness. +10 for living in Australia, too

I haven't read a book in ~1.5 years. :\
Downtown Abbey is in my television backlog.
Just finished The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay about a week ago, probably jumping over to Slaughterhouse Five soon, and The Black Company books as several of my friends are into them atm. I'm looking for more good nonfiction to get into, so I'm open to suggestions (already eyeing Delusions of Gender mentioned above).
I saw the first episode of Downton Abbey a few months back, and really enjoyed it, but I just can never be bothered to start TV shows in earnest =/
more like determined!
*shrug*
I can't tell you what it is really, but portable gaming has had my heart since my first Game Boy(alongside a Game Boy camera and then later Pokemon), even if my tastes in types of games has evolved. If I had to guess, I'd say the DS has been the biggest factor in keeping this alive - there are simply too many beloved games on that system that couldn't be pulled off as well anywhere else, from Kirby: Canvas Curse, the systems original killer app, to Meteos and Ouendan, which dominated my time at bus stops and in-between classes throughout college. I'm currently playing a bunch of Picross 3D - these all represent some of my favorite games on the system(and of all time) and are experiences I couldn't find elsewhere.
I'm reading Shades of Earth by Beth Revis.
Teeeeen fiction I don't even care
Teen fiction is nothing to be ashamed of!
I'm reading Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, The Elric Saga Part I by Michael Moorcock, The Ghost Map by Steven Johnson, The Middle East: A History, and Web of the Witch World by Andre Norton. Oh, and Critical Thinking: The Art of Argument.
edit: Oh yeah, and Ulysses by James Joyce, but I'm more of pecking away at that one than reading it daily.
I watched all of it over my winter break before the Christmas episode aired. Damn that episode. :/

First post in GirlGAF! Woo! Thanks Lin.
Continuing with the whole Fire Emblem thing.. me and my sisters were so pressed about the whole marriage thing, hehe. Turned out it wasn't bad at all. Also haven't used my 3DS in a looong time. I'm gonna try to add some of you when I get home. I don't know my friend code right now.
As far as I know friend codes are not region locked, right?

No but I'm definitely goin to order it this weekend. It'll be a good read for my current body of work that deals with gender and femininity.
