But I already have both witchers! One day I'll play them...

On the note of videogames I'll probably never get to play. I ordered Gundam Full Boost from Play-Asia and apparently the game is already in my city but it's in a sede dos correios where I can't go pick it up personally. It arrived here on the 10th yet they tell me it could take up to 15 days, not business, for the alfandega to stop fucking around with it.

Here's hoping I don't get taxed and that I get to play the game this week or something.

Já é de noite e domingo e eu estou trabalhando aqui em casa por causa de um projeto que não anda ;_; , de vez em quando eu odeio meu trabalho. Eu estou pensando seriamente em pedir umas férias quando Dark Souls 2 e South Park chegarem para que eu possa desestressar. De lado positivo Bravely Default tá ótimo até agora (só que eu não to podendo jogar agora).

I bought BD on the eShop but barely played it (even if I enjoyed the little I played of it). Lately I've been so worried about other things in my life that "collecting physical copies" among other gaming things that used to matter so much for me are simply not that important anymore. Maybe gaming as a hobby is just kinda fading away from my life. It certainly wont go away completely, but it definitely lost its place. I used to play so much more... I don't know if thats a good or bad thing really. I think its a matter of priorities in the end, so I guess its just natural as people get older to adapt their hobby to their daily life. The free time I've got from work, school and social life I mostly spend on GAF than actually gaming, as weird as that sounds...

Edit: Btw, I edited my post because I forgot that I said to myself that I would be committed to post more in English here.

Eu comprei BD no eShop mesmo, mas mal consegui jogar (apesar de o pouco que eu joguei me parecer excelente). Ultimamente tenho me procupado tanto com outras coisas na minha vida que "colecionar mídias físicas" dentre outras coisas gamísticas simplesmente não são mais tão importantes como antes. :( Acho que video game como um hobby para mim meio que está ficando para escanteio com o passar do tempo. Eu jogo tão pouco comparado com o que eu jogava antes... Não sei se é uma coisa boa ou ruim pra ser sincero. É uma questão de prioridades I think.

Yep, that's true. Felizmente, estou gastanto mais tempo aprendendo a fazer jogos do que jogando. Infelizmente, também estou gastando mais tempo trabalhando do que jogando :(

Quero Bravely Default, mas o lançamento aqui é só dia 21 :/

O jogo me lembra de FFX-2. A história é meio fraca nos dois jogos , a de Bravely Default é meio conservadora e pouco inspirada. Porém, os dois jogos tem a melhores versões de battle system . FFX-2 tinha o melhor ATB e BD o melhor sistema por turnos e os dois jogos tem um job system.

But to be honest, I don't think that's a bad thing. The liking for games won't simply disappear. If we truly have it as a hobby it will always be there, even if we set it aside for some time. Like any other hobby it won't earn you any money (unless its related to the area you work with), it will actually make you lose some lol, so studying and working are certainly going to be more important at some point. All you gotta do is adapt to it... Like buying only the games you really know you will enjoy and actually play (hi, Steam Sales)... things like that.

E eu que comprei no lançamento e até agora minha ordem não foi processada :(

That sucks. Where did you buy it from?

I have a similar sentiment. The kinds of games that I like (quirky Japanese games, stuff like Okami, W101, Xenoblade, Bravely Default, Kid Icarus, etc.) are dying slowly, because Japanese devs are either bleeding, or going mobile (or both). Nintendo, the one who appeals to the types of games I like, are having troubles with Wii U, and because of their relationship with thirds is bad, people are going away from them. So gaming is pretty much dying for me. However, I came to terms with this, and I found retro gaming more appealing right now, so I will probably move to play older games as my main hobby.

My favorite games are also the weird japanese ones and while I don't think they will disappear, I'm pretty sure I will have to learn Japanese to actually be able to play them if things keep going like that. Actually, there are already games that made me wish that I knew Japanese and I'm seriously considering importing Jump Vs.

My gaming habits are weird nowadays but I'm never letting go of the pleasure of owning physical copies of my games. One thing that I'm noticing though is that my patience is much lower. For example, after I had finished GT6 last championship I just stopped playing the game and I didn't even bother trying the S class events (I plan to do that someday though).

eStarland :(

:(
Have you sent an e-mail to them about it? Did you pre-order it or just bought on release date? I'm asking that because I noticed that they can't see to actually be able to ship new games on the release date if it's not a pre-order.

eStarland :(

My friend bought animal crossing from them last year and it never arrived. Then after some months he complained, and they only gave him a refund for the cost of the game (shipping not included) and that went to store credit. He tried buying Golden Sun from them in December and all it says for the package is that it got to Brasil and nothing else.

He told me that if he gets GS he's never buying from there again.

It's one of the reasons that I'm learning Japanese :)

And I bought it on release date. Will try to send a e-mail later.

I bought Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon from them, and had no problems. it took a while after it reached Brazil, but eventually it got here.

Called the correios right now. Apparently my game is already in my city but it's in a sede da alfandega. When I asked when I could be receiving it the guy said that he really can't say but if I haven't heard anything with 45 to 60 FUCKING DAYS I should call back.

45 to 60 goddamn fucking days. Lesson learned, the one time I order something delivered straight to Brasil this happens. Never again. Fuck this country's bullshit.

I sent an e-mail to eStarland and they said they're having trouble stocking up the game due to high demand. It still wasn't processed. I feel I'm going to get my game in june this way ~.~

Good to know.

I will eventually get this game, but I'll wait a bit since I won''t be able to play it right now.

My plan is to spend carnival playing through Resident Evil 4 on Steam. I`m going out of town tomorrow morning, but I'm letting the PC on pre-loading it. Latter I can turn off my PC using ammy or something else, and when I'm back in town friday those ganados will suffer.

Meio ridículo considerando que todo dia no Big Brother mostram aquelas duas moças lá se beijando e etc. Se em um canal aberto isso já é considerado "aceito" pela sociedade, não vejo problemas de fazer o mesmo em um filme com distribuição de cópias limitada e tal. Essa discussão nem precisaria existir pra começo de conversa, maaas, vai entender...

Edit: Aaaaand I am back to speaking portuguese. lmao

Oi gente, comecei a ler o livro O Papagaio e o Doutor e confisso que to tendo a maior dificuldade entender o que esta acontecendo nele. A linguagem parece muito mais dificil do que esperava de um livro muito mais moderno do que Iracema.
 
I am sure you all have seen it already, but I seriously can't stop laughing at this video.

lol wut. Some people are amazing lol

Olha, sinceramente nunca tinha ouvido falar deste livro, tive que dar uma pesquisada no Google. E, pelo que eu vi, o livro realmente usa uma linguagem estranha, a maneira que ele formula as frases é bem "antiga". É um livro difícil de entender até mesmo para brasileiros.

Oh good, I was just worried that I'd like, had an aneurism and suddenly couldn't read Portuguese.

Li um trecho (umas 20 páginas) que achei online. Senti falta de ter uma professora de literatura por perto para que eu pudesse perguntar "mas que diabos está acontecendo aqui?". Muito estranho. Devaneios da personagem muito extensos (eu precisava voltar no texto pra me situar) e a estrutura é toda "errada".

Tu que escolheu esse livro, ou te indicaram/"empurraram" pra ler?

I thought I should share this.

Basically, this guy made the animation to celebrate his son's birthday. He animated all of it in 5 months, on his off hours. The Brazilian voice actors of Goku and Bulma also voiced the characters to congratulate his son.


I guess this is thread worthy, but I'll let the more active posters do it :p

So in three days it will have been a month since my game arrived in my city. I've yet to receive it. Fun times this country, fun times.

I wouldn't be able to take such a risk, I only did it twice, with Ouendan 1 and 2 being shipped from Hong Kong to Bogota. First time I was glad customs in Colombia are terrible and care more about what is going out than what is coming in ( for obvious reasons :p). Here in Brazil, I wouldn't know, as a gringo I'm happy I travel back home regularly and family comes to visit regularly, and friends as well, so I just arm myself with patience until I can get someone to get me what I want.

My friends have bought stuff online, but no video games, things arrive most of the time and the charge is mostly fair, but with that specific case I wouldn't know.

What are the chances of the Skylanders box being taxed in the same way as the inner box since they are both WiiU boxes ?

Charge at the MSRP instead of the price you payed? I believe they wouldn't do it unless the declared value for the bundle is much lower than the WiiU MSRP/street price.

And I never got my console boxes opened, nor heard of such from my friends (I always got mine from Amazon, but I know a bunch who bought on eBay).

My question was more on the fact that :

If my friend ships the WiiU simple box, it will be taxed less than the WiiU skylander box with the wiiu in it ?

....what if I put a random Mario there ? xD

The 2000 reais that you find on fnac or the 300 dolars on the USA ?

Because I payed 200 dolars....

Don't think so. The smaller box would make it less likely to be taxed, maybe? Not sure if it would make much difference.

300 dollars, if they think the value is wrong. May happen, may not.

Ninfomaníaca também não vai sair em blu-ray no Brasil.

http://oglobo.globo.com/cultura/nin...o-brasil-por-cenas-de-sexo-explicito-11858594

Da reportagem.

A explicação da Sonopress para a recusa de “Azul...” é que Microsoft e Disney exigem que seus fornecedores não trabalhem com conteúdo de sexo explícito.

Então o motivo pelo qual "Azul é a Cor Mais Quente” não saiu no Brasil são a cenas de sexo ao invés de homofobia...
Bizarro que o Brasil não tenha nenhuma distribuidora que possa fazer Blu-Ray de filme tão nicho como esses .
