Seriously. Elementary mistake there, Jedeye.
I justified it by knowing that my sister has a 3DS she says I can borrow to play stuff. Would be nice to get my own if I can convince myself some day.
Edit: 7 is my favourite final fantasy, it was also my first. I think there is a strong correlation between these two things.

I LOVE me some Ressie, but the bar was set too high with 4, Sheva made 5 really annoying, and 6 I'm just not bothering with, it's not survival horror anymore. I'd like to try Zombi U, but the reviews are a really mixed bag, and I'd have to buy a Wii U, which is £100 too much right now.

The first review on RPGFan sums up a lot of my feelings regarding it:
http://www.rpgfan.com/soundtracks/ff6ost/index.html
Every song uses leitmotifs and Wagnerian styles to full effect. Characters, events, and emotions have their own distinctive themes and tones. Uematsu had a full grasp of what was going on in the game and pretty much every track fits the game perfectly.
It's one of those rare soundtracks (alongside other games like Chrono Trigger) where the music stands firmly side-by-side with the graphics and gameplay in being totally integral to the player's experience.
Note: I own physical copies of the CT and FF1-10 + 12 soundtracks alongside numerous other games. I'm rather proud of my VG soundtrack collection. I once nearly paid $400 for a sealed Terranigma OSV, but it bounced to $550 in the last minute.

Never underestimate the ignorance of reviewers.
An unfair generalisation.

I did like how each character had their own themes although tbh I only really noticed the Locke and Celes opera themes when they'd pop up.
It's certainly not bad by any means, but the gamer community love of the OSTs mystifies me a bit still.
I'm also glad you didn't spend $400 on that OSV, I would have to reach through the internets and clip you around the ear
I miss all the daytime BritGAF fun since I can't really go on GAF much at work anymore
We need more late-night chat.
What do you think of Dead Space? I personally love the fuck out of it.

I like Dead Space. Visceral are pretty damn good at learning all the right lessons from Mikami's third-person shooter design, so even if it's not a patch on RE4 it stills hits the same beats in a satisfying way. I fully expect DS4 to include rocket slides.

You don't want to know how much the Lufia 2 soundtrack was going for before its re-release around 5-7 years ago.

Bingo.
I bought my 360 in 2009 with RE5 (the red Elite) because my best friend had a 360 and was getting RE5. We spent hours playing the RE5 demo alone mastering our teamwork tactics and weapons usage, and we railroaded through the full game in two nights. One of the best co-op experiences of this generation IMO.
My favourite multiplayer experience this gen was MW2's Spec Ops. A friend and I blitzed through it on split screen - getting all the stars - in one night. That was amazing.

The gadgets are fun. Unlike Steve I actually prefer the future bits to the Cold War stuff, but I'm a sucker for near-future shit. Singleplayer is fun - some great environments and the whole multiple endings/mission outcomes thing gives some replayability.
Best CoD since MW2, IMO.
Edit: I also love the bad guy. Plus you get to punch Noriega in the face.

Holy shit guys it's cold out.
I agree to such a degree that I wonder if it was actually you I was playing it with. Motherfucker took both sniper rifles! Alright, you're the distance guy, that's why I'm the one with the shotgun which can take down a crowd of twelve zombies in one shot, but why do you need the same rifle twice? Bastard.
For the record, I played RE5's story on my own. It was donkey shit.
I actually thought - along with Rayman Legends - it was a fun third-party Wii U game when I tried it earlier this year. Atmospheric and controls were not too shabby. Why is it getting mixed reviews?
If you played on Easy and didn't bother with any of the lore items, maybe.

bitch I'm taking calls.
I'm struggling to fit this word into my understanding of Resident Evil.
nah i had kentpaul skills when it came to re4 and 5. i pretty much did anything in re5, and back in the day was in the top 100 leaderboards for speed running. if memory serves me correctly anyway. probably not anymore mind.
i dont think re5 is as bad as some claim, but it's definitely underdveloped and just going through the motions trying to get the player from setpiece to setpiece. if thats what you want then fair enough i guess, but for me it just made most of it unmemorable and missed opportunities. the african village at the beginning could have been pretty sweet with the idea of horror in daylight like it was originally pitched to be, but nope you spend like an hour or so there and then you get into the amazing on-rail segment shooting black people on bikes and then you ahve the el gigante boss battle where you just shoot at his knees.
i think the game needed some padding to it really, just something to develop atmosphere, introduce the game to the concept of pacing and builds up and maybe even develop the characters, bosses and story some more (lol).

I heard "Kentpaul" is the new secret difficulty level in Bayonetta 2.
I heard it was Dark Souls 2?

All I'll say about Papa Roach is that I resent all the metal-loving friends I had who adore Papa Roach, yet made fun of me for listening to emo music.

Ahahaha! I was actually thinking about glassjaw in relation to papa roach, their albums had very similar art styles. But Glassjaw, as with everything, was better.

Tegen (I tihnk it's Tegen) has the face of one of the teenagers from Eastenders. It's freaky. Good song, though!
Just read that Marnie Stern's got a new album due in March. "The Chronicles of Marnia" is a fucking fantastic title, and the song sounds good so here's hoping it's a cracker. I hope she plays over here again too- I missed her last shows due to circumstances beyond my control.
this is the first I've heard of her, but I like it. She sounds Icelandic.

Nah, she's American, I think. Her second album, *deep breath* "This Is It and I Am It and You Are It and So Is That and He Is It and She Is It and It Is It and That Is That", is pretty fucking great. For example.
