Meat Bun shirts. Rawr.
I wore the SF one to work today
Ha! A friend emailed me this today: http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/04/secret-mission.html
Speaking about the SF shirt, we got a kick out of when Capcom first found out about it: http://blog.capcom.com/archives/1033

Wheee. Roughly 15€ each. I lurv play.com and my local malls' clarance isle with old GC games. I paid for all three as much as I would've paid for the FF game alone had I been so stupid to buy it in around here. US-versions of Okami and No more Heroes are on the way, again both together cost as much as one PAL game. Kiss my pasty white behind, NoE (and Capcom EU, for that matter).
experimental gaming-age?
I wonder how Geometry wars will play on the tiny DS screen... an how much I will loathe myself for buying yet another SRPG in full knowledge that I can never advance beyond the easy tutorial stages. Le sigh. Odama is just an experiment. I mean, for 15 European funbucks it's OK, ... isn't it?

Man it's been an expensive week. Apologies for the camera quality, pics were taken on my N95 8GB. My old Canon G7 is already packed up ready to be sold.
Selling my other New & Sealed 400D Photo Kit. And bought...
A Canon 450D Instead. Figured I'd make more use of the extra features than the extra lens and battery grip.
Epson R2400 A3 professional printer.
Epson V500 Scanner.

Gotta catch up for the last two or three weeks.
Everything pictured was under $20 each.
Picked up at Toys 'R' Us. At (I think) 8 bucks each box, probably overpaid, but still cool to have. Will actually set up on a shelf once I buy a house and move into it.
Picked up cheap at a Best Buy sale.
Also got Rondo of Swords, but I'm saving that for the "holy crap I spent a ton of money on new stuff" post with P3: FES, GTA4, TWEWY, and Mario Kart.

You are talking to someone who died twice on Mission 1-4. TWICE. In the FOURTH MISSION of the very first chapter. It's like clubbing a baby seal, only the other way around.Flock said:
To be honest though, the difficulty is pretty OK for lil' ol' me, all things considered. This is the strangest experience for me: I actually have a chance at doing OK in an SRPG. Hasn't happened since FFTA, if that. You really don't want to know the epic raping e.g. FE
oR delivered to my by now sore behind. :lol The pathfinding algorithm is my biggest enemy, by far. I have had it happen several times now that Penelope and her useless healing bunnies have gotten stuck in some random corner (or behind the other party members) while Vaan is being tenderly loved by flying baddies. ARGH.
Another thing is: I have absolutely no clue why I should like the guys I'm controlling. I haven't played FFXII, which seems to be a prerequisite to actually get anything that's going on in that game. They just throw you right into the middle of it all and expect you to be up-to-date on all recent Ivalis happenings.
There are a bunch of short text-only log entries on the ship, and I'm starting to see how they're connected to each other and stuff, but honestly, it's just really bad storytelling on S-E's part IMHO. So far I want to strangle the main character and most of his companions. And the story...
Enslaving that lizard thing didn't feel right, too. What a shitty thing to do.
*gripe* *gripe* *gripe*
One can tell I am having fun, right? Because I totally am.
I can't really express how much that bugs me. This wasn't supposed to happen! :lol

Don't really expect Revenant Wings to impress you to much though, its a decent game. But its nothing special. i too haven't played FFXII and yeah, i found the story boring as fuck. I really didn't care what was going on. I don't even think i would of kept playing the game if i wasn't on holiday and it was all i had.
Revenant wings isn't even really an SRPG more so its an RTS. If you want a really good fairly easy SRPG check out Jean D'arc if you haven't .
These days there haven't been any new games that interest me enough, so most of my gaming has returned to my long (and sometimes forgotten) love for point and click adventures. Discovering some new ones, replaying the favorites...and trying to find some of these favorites in their proper form, that is, the big boxes:
..rummaging through my collection reminded of the suck that is incompatibility between different versions of Windows, bah.

I can haz good games?
I guess Maximo might be the odd one out cause I definetly don't read anyone giving it praises as much as the others but I played the first one a looong time ago and it was cool enough.

I think I actually never beat the first one. I think I'll need to replay it before doing Army of Zin.Urban Scholar said:

I got a new digital camera. I got the Canon Powershot SD790 IS. It's sweet!
Picked up a bunch of stuff today at Car Boot Sales. Found Theif 1 for $1 and SOF2 for $2. I love SOF2 and seem to keep selling the damn thing. For $2 I'll keep it
Bought Ratatouille for $13 from a second hand video store booth they have there. Disney don't seem to go much further down than that anyhow. Ratchet Gladiator for $10. Might as well at that price. Megaman X from ebay in my "build up my PSP library" phase I'm in.
The 3 Mega CD games are Demos of Fatal Fury Special, TimeCop and Sensible Soccer. Apparently these were sometimes on some UK Magazines - and yet TimeCop didn't come out here, and FFS is the second-to-rarest Mega CD game available. Dunno what the Demos are worth.
Shadow Warrior (Aka Ninja Gaiden) and Cyberball for the Atari ST, complete in box for $2.50 each. I don't have an Atari ST, but I've always liked specifically these kinds of boxes they used to use. They're not stupidly huge like the Big Boxes and not just DVD cases. I'm surprised they didn't continue to use them in the CD era.
