Finally played the demo of GAF darling Fire Emblem.
The hunt for a copy is on. Damn fine game, the characters' lack of feet aside.

I think I've set a bad example for Baltimore.
Hard is so hard. I'm doing something wrong.
Still awesome.
all teams will adapt the bend but dont break defense that Bill introduced.
After the criminals like stabby ray and reed retire, no one will be able get away with dirty hits and it will become the only future proof D

Dammit!!! We will regret letting him go. Would have been great in 3-4.

i beat it a few days ago. game of the year so far.
going to go through a second play through maybe next month or something on the hardest difficulty. nintendo has made a fire emblem fan of me for life!
You don't want to play lunatic +, it's stab you in the eye hard, hard.

i'll handle these sons a bitches!
do you (or anyone) know if the DLC is worth paying for? i got the free one and found the side story potentially interesting but i dont know if i feel like forking over $6 or whatever it is for a few extra maps
It's mainly made for nostalgia purposes, so alot of the appeal of the dlc isn't going to hit for a western audience as most of the characters showing up in the dlc only appeared in japanese only games.
If you want to spend around 10 bucks.
You'll want to get the the golden pack for six bucks, gives you a great way to grind for gold/xp/and some strong weapons.
You also want Lost bloodlines 2, since it'll give you a brand new class (the dread fighter).
Not sure it was a good idea to start the series on hard as a rookie.
You really have to know which characters to level up and focus on clearing levels and leveling them up at the same time. The further you go the harder it becomes to overcome those early mistakes. Maybe less than the other games but it still makes the game harder. General lesson figure out which characters level up at a good rate and focus on them in different classes. I am on chapter 19 and my main two guys are Gods. Vaike is also a superhero and Cordelia can take out anyone other than archers by herself.
I am a little sword heavy in my secondary characters so far, but they group all the different enemies so close together the weapon mechanics don't seem to matter as much in this game.
Get the GBA games of you have a DS or GBA. They are both awesome as fuck.
Also lunatic is pretty insane in Fire Emblem. In the other games you really have to take advantage of certain things to get through. And also a lot of luck.
I think I went all sword/spears with a couple of casters myself. Pair up really kinda throws off the balance of units compared to other fire emblems.
From what I've heard, normal in this fire emblem is really easy compared to previous normals, while say one of the snes games is harder then this game's hard difficulty in the only difficulty setting the game has.

Eagles targeting Amendola for up-tempo offense
Not sure on that. A lot of what he does requires a quick throw and some accuracy. That's not what Vick is known for

Does anything he says actually compute?

I still don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, it should be a great fit. On the other hand, they will probably end up paying Wallace more than he's worth.
On Bush: I like the guy alright and I enjoyed watching him in Miami but I'm not at all sad to see him go. He's just too inconsistent as an every down back for my taste.

Why does it matter if they pay him "to much"? The nice thing about NFL contracts is they are not guaranteed and you can cut or renegotiate with guys pretty much any time you need to. Plus the Fins are way under the cap. I think Wallace would be a great fit for them and really help their offense out. If they get him it will be a great move for them.

Can't remember the exact quote, but it's something like "few people, in any profession, work harder when they get more money". It was in reference to the draft, but it holds for FA too. That said, the Phins need to give Tanny some help, and if they have enough room, they can front-load it so they can cut him with minimal harm later if it goes bad

Yeah, I guess I'm more worried about the contract favoring Wallace too much besides just $/year. Regardless, there is a lot of risk involved with offering a huge contract to a FA WR so I'm just a little nervous about it, but you're right about it being a great fit for them. Tannehill has a great arm but no one to take advantage of it so it'll be great to see that need addressed (the biggest need for the team, in my opinion).
I just see stuff like, "third highest paid" and get kind of skeptical.
That's a great quote. I guess I should just embrace it though, this entire offseason was set up for something like this to happen, and it's obvious that going conservative with FA's hasn't paid off for Ireland so far.

The media always throws stuff like that out when guys sign but it never means anything. All that matters is how much is gauranteed, and how many years is the cap hit spread over. I remember when the Eagles sign Vick, and supposedly he was like the 3rd highest QB at $100m, he got $40m before he had to restructure. The agents leak these numbers to make it look like they are getting more for their clients, but unless the guy is amazing for his whole contract, they never get most of the money.

I'd actually be pretty happy if things played out that way.
So far so good! It would really suck if the Dolphins had to focus a lot of attention on finding a suitable LT replacement early in the draft, I'd much rather them have the flexibility available to go after a CB or maybe even a DE with their first pick. And heck, if Patterson somehow stayed around that long I wouldn't even mind that pick, although that seems a lot less likely given all the Wallace talk.
I hope we resign him for a reasonable number.
The thing about Long is that he says he is fully healthy and dealt with injuries the last two years, but the injuries stated were his arm injuries. That wasn't his problem. He was play stiff and getting beat by anyone with lateral quickness. Lost his ability to get leverage and change direction
I don't care if STL signs him to play RT, but just don't spend much

Only 29 hours 'till free agency starts! The disappointment will be immense.
Um ... it's published by Nintendo.
I couldn't remember if the other Lego games came out on PC. I'm so far behind on games that I wouldn't get to until Christmas. I do kind of wonder how much filler will be on the next gen consoles. Last time, MS was picky about what they would certify at launch. I wonder if this time they'll just let the floodgates open to whatever the publishers want to publish

Yeah, just saw that in the OP. Sounds like a port is very unlikely. I also saw that EDGE gave the game a 5 which is a little troubling. Their reviews aren't gospel by any means but it's still a red flag to me.
Eh, it seems pretty focused on American 80's action movies. Of course rotten toothed red coats wouldn't get it.

Indeed, Joe. Indeed.
They get better and better. The latest Batman was awesome. The problem is frequency of release has burned out a lot of people.

I've never found any of them mindblowing, no. Really depends on how much you value the license. I've enjoyed the Lord of the Rings Lego game for instance. It's light hearted fun that I can play with my daughter but I never find myself getting too attached to it...

Lego Star Wars is probably still the best but that's mostly due to the license for me. I really enjoyed Lego LOTR but at times it felt like it was phoned in compared to Lego Star Wars.
