Got the Accomplice ending in P4G. I enjoyed that way more than I thought I would. I kinda want a non-canon follow-up to that ending to see what would come of it.

As an aside, did anyone click that my name was a Metal Gear pun?

I thought it was a play on "Dante" at first.

 

[buddha0991]

Nice boat.

Where does YOUR name come from anyway? It seems like some sort of reference I should get.

Speaking of nice boats, our ship docked right next to this ship in Cozumel, Mexico.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/11/travel/cruise-ship-fire

It was also returning to its destination after being out for 3 days. Strange, I talked to some people from that ship as they were going back into the ship, the lines to the two ships were right next to each other. Apparently, no one is hurt or anything, but man, they are still stranded out there with no AC or power.

 

[Omikaru]

It's a running joke between me and my friends that my handwriting is essentially Russian...

...Studiyng isn't fun, especially with pen smudges due to being left handed.

I get pen smudges and I'm right-handed. That's because I don't hold pens and pencils properly.

As an aside, did anyone click that my name was a Metal Gear pun?

I worked it out when I added you to PSN.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Aw man, my handwriting is getting put on blast! D:

You play fighting games, Smedwicks? You play P4A?

 

[Sophia]

You obviously haven't seen mine. I write in all caps just to be legible. Barely.

.... no seriously, I don't think you can beat mine. Mine isn't legible pretty much period.

I thought it was a play on "Dante" at first.

That's what I thought at first too, but he signs all his pictures so I realized it had to be his first name...

 

[SloaneRisette]

You play fighting games, Smedwicks? You play P4A?

Yup! UMvC3, P4A are my main games, trying to get more into SF4, SFxT, and KOF for Evo this year. Which system are you on?

 

[Omikaru]

.... no seriously, I don't think you can beat mine. Mine isn't legible pretty much period.

I might just write something and take a picture of it now, so GAF can see if it's really all that bad. I'm pretty sure I failed Philosophy A-Level because the examiner couldn't read my writing.

 

[Squire]

Also, I was thinking, where did everyone's user names come from? We have some really peculiar ones in here. Mine came from my Xbox Live GamerTag that I set up back in '04. I was only 14, and my friend and I thought it would be hilarious to have Metal Gear themed pun-names. My real name is Dan, and so, PsychoDantis. Shortened it to Dantis in the later years to remove the Metal Gear association, and here I am.

FFX is my favorite game.

0991 comes from September 18th, 1991

Birthday? Mine is 09/20/92

Anyway, another Liz:

And a really slick Mitsuru. You may be in luck, Deadpool!

 

[jello44]

It's the name of my band.

Oh. Simple enough.

I thought yours was jello because you really like pudding or something

Hah, I do like pudding. But not that much. ;p

 

[Jintor]

I claim god tier handwriting.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

Nice, Inorigo. Sweet figures.

I just bought a whole set of these smaller ones from plamoya.com:

PS3, and I'm going to EVO with some people and cj_iwakura. (buy your ticket already, cj)

You going to EVO? I think that PersonaGAF should roll deep out there, we'll all go out for dinner and drinks or w/e.

 

[cj_iwakura]

cj = Christopher James
Iwakura = Serial Experiments Lain's main character's last name. Yeah, I'm kind of a fan.


And my handwriting is the worst.

 

[Noi]

I wish I could fly freely to stuff, but living in PR means that any US ticket is already $400+. :| This year's trip is already spent on going to PAX East.

 

[Squire]

I'm conflicted. I've had teachers tell my handwriting is good. My mother swears it's awful.

Maybe. I Dunno. I'm not all that into fighting games, but I do need to get out more...

I'm going to Evo, my dad is treating me to the trip out, so I'll probably be spending most of my non-tournament time hanging out with him (too young to drink anyways, lol). If you ever want to grab any matches of P4A online, just him me up!

 

[Omikaru]

I'd go to EVO too, but I've got about £2,000 which I'm keeping for travel around the US during PAX Prime time. I may be going to that this year, since it's still feasible being as it's later on in the year, but I dunno. Have to think it through.

Yeah man, check the P4A OT for my PSN handle and plenty others. Yeah, EVO is going to be pretty amazing, probably the only time we see Persona there.

Help me convince jello to go!

 

[SloaneRisette]

Anyone/everyone should go to Evo if they can (or at the very least watch it!) because even if you don't follow the FGC intensely, fighting games are easy enough to follow and hype enough that they're a blast to watch even without that much knowledge.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I've played so much P4A... It's unfortunate I won't be able to go to EVO.

(side note: this might be blasphemous, but I've realized I actually don't like the Persona Team logo)

 

[buddha0991]

So like, I check the PS Blog to see what is going on the PSN next Tuesday. Persona 4 Arena digital download. Is this a sign, am I meant to buy this again?

 

[Sophia]

If you already own it, why would you buy it again?

(I'd be tempted to sell my copy just for a digital copy tho. I hate having to get up to get it out...)

Yup. I probably will too and get rid of my physical copy.

...Or maybe I'll just keep both like I've done every version of P3.

 

[buddha0991]

Everyone has it for PS3 damn it!

 

[Sophia]

Everyone has it for PS3 damn it!

Oh, that's a good reason to get rid of your copy then and get it digital!

 

[buddha0991]

Oh, that's a good reason to get rid of your copy then and get it digital!

I am not gonna toss my 360 copy tho =/

 

[SloaneRisette]

Toss your 360 copy like a frisbee!

 

[Noi]

Toss your 360 copy like a frisbee!

Probably more valuable as a coaster.

 

[buddha0991]

I am lookin at the pictures on my phone, and I totally have a picture of the boat that would lose power and become stranded in the middle of the sea, on it. Carnaval Triumph. Eerie.

 

[CrazyTank940]

I have you all beat for sure in this category. My handwriting cannot be matched in awfulness. >.>;

I dunno, my handwriting is pretty damn turrible

Yeah I think that the PS3 scene is healthier.

Honestly, I like watching it more than playing it. High level play is crazy. Here's two of the best players in the US (Chie vs Teddie):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYAY2RzV_PI&t=3h14m03s

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Hmph, I beat Brkrdave 2/3! Though... that was netplay and it's different than local, obviously.

Still a bit funny to me how Dacid switched from Aki to Chie.

Edit: The last (and only time) I went to a P4A tournament was at The Runback a number of weeks ago, and I was absolutely free, went 0-2 ;_;

Coming from a PS3 standpoint, only problem is that ranked matches... well, lets say you're more likely to find a tumbleweed first before an opponent. Player lobbies however are still pretty lively so it's not a total loss.

Not much of a loss. Ranked matches were flawed in their execution and not a real ranking of anything anyhow.

 

[CrazyTank940]

And a really slick Mitsuru. You may be in luck, Deadpool!

must... have... now...

*foams at mouth*

 

[CrazyTank940]

True, PSR (which they use to determine skill level when searching for matches) is a flawed system in it's own merit. But I dunno for some reason playing ranked is my go-to thing. I blame Capcom fighters for that lol


But yeah, lobbies are all good

 

[cj_iwakura]

Is there a deadline for Evo signups or a fear of it selling out? I think I'm good for it, but just want to be sure there's no rush.
(Also, how are accommodations worked out? I'm sure there's cheaper places than the Evo sanctioned ones.)

Right now there's the earlybird rates, and as time goes on it'll just cost more. The Paris also has hotel deals for Evo too, so it actually is pretty cheap to stay there during the weekend. There may be cheaper places (actually, there probably are), but staying at the hotel Evo is at is not only more convenient, but also helps them get more rooms for future hotels, according to Mr. Wizard. (Also, as an aside, the Paris also has godlike restaurants too!)

Hey Kyoku is amazing, too! Marlinpie is incredible as well, I like how he plays Chie. I'm a Chie player too, and I'm free as hell.

Hey Smedwicks, you hear anything about JP Persona players coming to EVO? I'm not sure who all to expect.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I bet DC from Florida is going for P4A(he won the Orlando major), and he's godlike.

I have no chance of winning P4A. I went up against him at a small Miami tournament and got mutilated. Imagine Evo.


A BB tourney is my best chance at anything.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I'm a free as hell Akihiko (potentially going to switch to Mitsuru), so even just watching Alex Valle beast in the game despite being an SF-head was both an amazing sight to see and kinda saddening in the fact that who knows if I would be that good.

I don't know much about Japanese Persona players coming to Evo. I'm sure Dacidbro or LordKnight or one of the anime players would probably have a better clue, sorry.

 

[Squire]

must... have... now...

*foams at mouth*

I'll see if I can find release info for you

I'm going to watch Evo, but I appreciate your drive to bring the community together, Armada.

Hold it down Purseowners!! :O

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Nice! And you're not going to EVO? Who do you play as?

Yeah, pretty sure I'm not going to EVO unless I get real lucky. I'm a Shadow Labrys main. Currently ranked #8 in EXP and #4 in PSR, on PSN, in the world, haha. Doesn't mean much, but it shows how much time I spent with the game.

 

[TWILT]

Wish I could go to Evo this year. I'd enter Marvel, P4A, and Melee

Spoiler

and get wrecked in all of them

for sure.

 

[Noi]

Who I main in P4A is rather obvious. Haven't played in a while though... I should go back to that once I beat P4G.

 

[SloaneRisette]

Even if you guys don't go to Evo, do your part to tune in during the games, and if you have the money (I think it was 11$ last year) subscribe for no ads and to help out! Evo 2013 will probably be the craziest year to tune in or be there.

 

[Mr. Shankly]

Excuse me guys, but what is evo and where and when does it take place? orz
