It's good, it feels like a total throwback to the old keychain digital pets - for better or worse. If you're like me and you enjoy that stuff, it's much the same here: you have to keep each Digimon from becoming overworked, you have to keep their quarters clean, you have to move them from training pen to training pen to boost their stats, all while keeping them fed and rested. That's the primary focus of your hands-on involvement.
Battles are hands-off, you merely set basic instructions and choose which Digimon will battle. It's cool to see the Digimon you've trained face off, allowing you to earn cash to spend on new training pens and whatnot.
Catching Digimon takes place in the wild, in a way that's clearly inspired by Pokemon Ranger. You can set traps/bait to lure Digimon out into an open area, then you try to stun them and circle them to lasso them - where you then have to keep a firm steady tug on the line while they try to get away, without snapping the rope. It's pretty fun stuff.
Overall, it's like a fleshed-out version of the Digimon toys from way back when. Definitely a nice change of pace.
I'm currently on a Tokyo trip with the wife to finalize her visa stuff at the U.S. Embassy on tuesday. This is probably our last trip here while living in the country, so we are buying crap left and right. I spent the most on new clothes but don't really see the point of showing them here!
More stupid figures I don't need. Found them (mostly) pretty cheap in some Akiba shops.
Gaming haul. I owned Ninja Gaiden DS and Bangai-O before, but sold them off with a bunch of other games that got stuck in my backlog months ago. The DSi has me playing DS games again. I think I might buy back Space Invaders Extreme too. Really wanted to pick up Motorstorm 2 at an import shop but I think I got enough. The Memory Stick shown is a Photofast Micro SD to MS Duo adaptor that lets you use two micro SD cards at the same time, so it's a cheaper alternative to buying a memory stick. I got the adaptor for 2400 yen and two 8gb micro SD cards for 2600 yen each. Not bad!

MarkMan said:How much did the Asuka and Otomedius ones run ya?
Nice pickups
I was looking for those while in Hong Kong, no dice!
The Otomedius one was 1000 yen. All of the ones I have seen are that much on in 2000 yen sets. Asuka was more than I would generally pay at 5200 yen but I have never seen that one anywhere and like the design (plus Asuka is my main in Tekken!) so I got it. They need to make a Bob figure!

The first paragraph sounds a little like Digimon World 1. Also, I'm not very interested in the idea of "catching" Digimon. It sounds so odd to me.
Well, my near-launch xbox 360 died from ROD last week, and i am waiting on UPS guy to come pick it up. So with the new dashboard and ability to install games, i decided to buy a new one, a 60go, manufactured 2month ago, hopefully it will be more reliable.
Yeah im a sucker, but i love Microsoft !!
Managed to find an arcade stick as well, first one i see in stores here in ages.
Now to find someone to buy those games, maybe i'll play LEGO Indy one, might not be that bad :lol

Most certainly.
In the beginning, it is very hard to do. I probably broke it or something but now it turns pretty easy.
2 micro RC choppers(one of them is 3 channel, the other is 2), Midnight Club and Star Ocean PSP and finally Sony Bluetooth headset, for use mainly with Skype and steaming A2DP audio from PC movies and iTunes.
those Sony BT headphones are going back tomorrow for a refund/exchange. The fit was very awkward and uncomfortable, i want a normal ear bud phones or the type that go around the head.
or i just might get a normal mono BT earphone, I don't care for stereo for now.
the package is the type which is impossible to seal back, so i hope they don't give me a hard time even though i packed it perfectly well, bit the back paper won't fit.
and Midnight Club LA sucks too, so im exchanging that too.
bad montt purchase for me!
wish me luck with the BT headphones exchange.

Finally, it was pretty unbearable using the Mac with only 512 MB RAM installed. Ugh.
Now that I'm at a nice and cozy 2GB, nothing should come between me and my Mac-related happiness anymore.
Anybody know of a good burn-in program for Macs? I want to see whether the RAM is detected correctly and working like it should. If it's faulty I'd like to know it now, not in a bunch of months when it eats my data.
Sounds reasonable.JEKKI said:
I doubt I'd ever want so many songs per month though. I take it there are cheaper plans?
Also, what formats? MP3 only?

I've been buying a lot of PC games lately, now that I actually have a PC capable of playing games from the last few years.
Also got a new pair of shades on my return from Rhodes.

Some stuff I got in September and October (apologize in advance for the crappy quality):
Toki Tori was my first Wiiware purchase in June, but for some reason I have posted it till now.
Potential GOTY!
Got some Nike Dunk Low Pro SBs in Black/Gold (aka Takashi) last week. They're so damn comfortable! :lol
Went to a Jay-Z concert with the purpose of supporting Obama. My sister was going and she had an extra ticket so I decided to go with her.

The Zelda hardback guides are really cool. I picked the PH and TP ones up when they were pennied out at GameStop. The cloth map in the TP guide is especially neat.

This sucks, I was just at Bestbuy with the same guides in my hand but the bastards refused to sell them to me. They were even marked 1 cent on the damn shelf. F##k bestbuy, but nice pickups.

How much and where did you buy it? I'd like to buy one for SFIV
I loved that song as a kid, and am currently working on getting all my childhood favourites back.
Yes, I loved to sing along to "my ding-a-ling". I could do that and not get my parents arrested because I had no grasp of the english language at that time (and no idea of the double entendre). Nobody told me. NOBODY.
I'm not so sure how I feel about that fact 20+ years later.
Also, a bunch of HD videos to watch on my SDTV.
They're cheaper than DVDs. CTLance am happy. HDDVDs are awesome, the best format EVER.
