My town is pretty much Little Nepal over the past decade, I think they're good people. I'm not looking forward to the looming race war in 2019. Turns out, working class white people, super racist.

Indeed.
Jolly good.
Also there's a race war coming? And it has a release date? Where do I pre order?

It's complicated, but in the past decade the Nepalese community had exploded, this report says that 10% of the population is Nepalese now, that's an incredible influx - http://buzz.bournemouth.ac.uk/nepaldershot/
So much culture clash and antagonism already, dark times are coming. The weird thing is that a massive proportion of these people are very elderly, so it might not be such a significant problem in a decade, but it's still changed the town. It was already poor, rough and bitter around here, way worse now that the underclasses have a scapegoat for their miseries.

Man I love my boss. I got in today at 10.30 which he knows and approves of (as opposed to term time when I get in at 8). He just popped up to my office to see how I was doing, then on the way out he said "don't bother sticking around today if you don't want to, way too nice to be stuck in the office today"
what a fuckin mensch. If the world was like this, we'd all be happier.

I usually go for the chicken tikka biryani. Don't need to order separate rice AND comes with a vegetable curry AND omlette? Winner winner chicken dinner.
Some places replace the vegetable curry with a "curry sauce" and the omlette with a sliced boiled egg. Those are shit places.

Just did a mint morning shift at Atlas, shaping lamb koftas, mixing up humus, making garlic mayo and some primo salsa, just generally getting on it in the kitchen. It's good fun actually, time flies!
Back home now waiting for Sol the blinds lady to come and measure up, and finishing off all the little jobs that need doing around the house. The place has been transformed in the last few days, it's looking top now. I'm so happy down here man, it's great. Such a buzz about the place!
Going to see about this leather sofa and a new bed this afternoon, the one that was left here is totally screwed. Plus, fuck sleeping on a second hand bed, so gross.
Hope y'all are good peeps, feel like I've barely been posting in here and what'sapp this last week or so. Busy busy busy...

I've got the rest of last night's chicken saag aloo for lunch, tasty healthy shit.
Presumed sudden visibility of anything different frightens idiots who then turn their fear into anger, form mobs and give up thought.

Tearaway
Killzone Mercenary (best since 2)
Gravity Rush looks interesting from the little bits I've played of it.
Dynasty Warriors
Persona 4 is meant to be amazing
Freedom Wars?
Lots of weird Japanese games
Perfect indie machine given the small screen works well with the simple artsy style of those games
Use it as a best of Playstation/Final Fantasy machine (Crash, Spyro, R&C, J&D, Metal Gear Solid 1-PW, FF1 through X-2, etc)
There's lots more but my mind is going blank.

There's a 'Big in Japan' sale on at the moment (and for the next week) where some of those are discounted.
Tearaway and Gravity Rush sound good. Not got much interest in the rest. Indie titles are a maybe considering I can play some of them in steam or Android. I currently use my PSP as a PSOne machine so I definitely wouldn't pick up a Vita for that reason.
Hmm, What's Persona like? Is that a fighting game?

I really enjoy the Vita but there aren't very many really exceptional games that you can't get elsewhere. It works perfectly for me because I use it for lunch-breaks, train journeys, holidays etc. Remote play is brilliant though if you can get a good wifi connection.
Game-wise, if you're the kind of pervert who enjoys JRPGs you'll be in heaven. If you're sane / sensible / normal (oh ho ho ho) then there are a smattering of decent games -
Tearaway is the best game on the system by far and the only one that really uses the device's potential fully.
Super Stardust Delta is marvellous, TxK owned me for a good month and OlliOlli is very addictive although riddled with bugs.
Killzone is a great portable FPS and although it's a fairly shonky port Borderlands 2 is really suited to being a portable game.
Overall though, there's probably enough of a back catalogue to keep you busy for a while. The future looks pretty bleak though - indie ports are fine but it's sad that the promise in games like Tearaway etc isn't really ever going to be fulfilled. Sony have botched it horribly outside of Japan and I don't think it'll ever recover.
Nein!
Dynasty Warriors is button-mashing musou junk.
Persona 4 is a dating simulator crossed with rock/paper/scissors.
Japanese games used to be amazing. Now they are crap.
You can import all those great Japanese visual novel titles like:
何らかの理由で私は私の妹の奴隷となっている。
妹はニンフであるが、彼女は実際に私のいとこであるため、それは大丈夫です。
助けて！私はビジュアルノベルに取り組み始めて、私の妹に夢中になってしまった瞬間！
私はそれがバターではないなんて信じられない。出来そう？

I will bet my entire existence that they are uniformly utter shite.
YEAH
F YOU JAPAN AND YOUR RUBBISH GAMES
BRING BACK CONTRA AND CASTLEVANIA
BRING BACK OLD SONIC
BRING BACK SHOOT EM UPS
These better be legally pornographic in nature.
Cheers sploat! So apart from Uncharted, Gravity Rush, Tearaway and remote play I can't justify a purchase
Price is too inticing to ignore though...argh.

I forgot Soul Sacrifice and Toukiden! Could be your thing?
Dynasty Warriors is awesome. It scratches that itch when I want to play a goofy game in which I can be a 8ft general who has a kill count in units of villages.
But yeah whilst there's some decent titles on Vita, on the whole for me at least the 3DS catalogue is superior in the range of great titles on offer.
From now on for the Vita at best you can expect a sequel or two to existing Sony franchises from its Western studios, and a little bit more from its Eastern ones. Third party will be indies, run of the mill franchises like Fifa, and the occasional over ambitious port like Borderlands 2. Such a waste.

You can get it on XBLA for like 800 space bucks.
Word of warning though, it's gimped in the most idiotic way possible. Basically, you can choose to have continues or not, with no in between. So you start with 3 continues or none, than after a few game overs, (three maybe?) it will throw you another continue and it does this all the way up until 9 continues (I think). After that, a few more failures grants you infinite continues making success simply a war of attrition, because you are clearly too shit to be playing it.
Which would be fine if you could choose between 3-9 continues, infinite, or none. But you can't, it's either infinite, or none. So success becomes simply a case of perseverance or a nigh on impossibly.
Dumb as fuck, totally killed the game for me. I'm not sure if the Dreamcast and Gamecube versions were the same, but my god what a stupid design decision.
Well I guess you just lost your existence since I made all those titles up thus they can neither be good nor bad.

Do people remember the R-Type games?
Those were my go to schmups backinnaday

Lol, I played it on GCN back in the day. Great game, but never finished it, pretty sure the continue situation wasnt like that back then but could be wrong. Sounds dumb though.

I suppose you could technically delete your save and start the cycle all over again, but it's hardly the ideal solution is it.
Why not just scrap the whole drip fed continues, and allow you to choose between 0-99? Why even have infinite, if you are so bad that you couldn't complete it in less than 100 continues there is a good chance your brain has fallen out of your skull.
Shorty, I don't mean to be so negative - there are good things on it, but if you're used to the big PSP library and you've already played most of the indies you might find it a bit limited. If you're a fan of modern Japanese games though, there are loads and loads and loads.
Mumble mumble grumble mumble mumble.
There's a Steam version which worked well even on my non-gaming laptop.
ARGH! When do I have to pack it in?
Hell yes!!!! R-Type Delta!!! "Oh. I'm sorry. You died. BACK TO THE BEGINNING!"

Don't think the DC one was, haven't played it since then though.
I think I might need to dig out the PS2 for R-Type Final & Gradius V.

Delta is the one I best remember. I remember me and my brother kept renting and re renting the game trying to beat it but never could.
No worries sploatee
I'll sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning. Cheers again.The Vita is great, currently playing Silent Hill on mine. Though I understand a PS1 era game isn't a great selling point its no different to mentioning the indie games! (that aren't as good as Silent Hill).
Danganronpa is good as well
edit: the vita also has Earth Defense Force and recent studies have shown that anyone who doesn't like EDF are wrong about everything ever

Factually correct.
Dammit!
I've already given my life today and now I'm wrong about everything too?
If this is what you get for owning a Vita, I'm trading it in. Leave me alone.
QuicheFontaine

That's in the sale too!
And Danganronpa is well good. Can't wait for the sequel coming out this year (not sure how they can do a sequel really, but I'm still going to get it)
You like EDF though. You just don't know it yet.
I just bought FFX / FFX2 on Vita. Now there's a strange decision, I fucking hate JRPGs.

You just wanted to see the laughing scene on in OLED glory, admit it!
Why you do this? I did the same thing. After 10 hours, I decided that I hated JRPGs even more. Before this, I accepted that they weren't for me. Now I despise them and all those who play them. Everyone. Even you, Dave.
