Damn, the internet speed some of you guys have is so fucking high. Mine is not even worth mentioning.

I don't really mind it though, since I only use the internet for gaf, wikipedia and youtube.
And occasional porn

It's too late for you.
This game is pretty legit. Better than ATB (and I didn't think ATB was this beast to be hated, either).

Wasn't aware they made a FF-specific variant, though.
Pictlogica: Final Fantasy. If you have an Android device, you can just use it to log in with your google account and get the app from the Square Enix store.

It's just a 5x5 grid to work with, but it's pretty neat how it factors into battles. The more mistakes you make, the less damage you do.

Seriously, tho:

Okay. Now that I've played a little bit more of it, the Picross aspect doesn't seem to get harder and harder as you go on, which is a huge shame.

It's really really easy, and I do wish they made it harder and harder as you progressed... hm.
 
I have no idea how to get into this game because kanji :D

Seriously, if you hit the button on the left, it asks me to say "yes"/"no" to something, but I'm not sure what. Button on the right does nothing.

I'd imagine the thread you linked has info on this, but I'm lazy. I'll look it up later.

EDIT:

Nope. You visit the SE Market and click on the game and you can download it there. When you install it and it gets all set up, it'll ask you to log in via a site, so you say yes and then you can use a Google account to log in no problem.
Okay

You need to sign-in to Square Enix with your Google Account on your tablet/phone, though. If you do it on your computer, it won't work. I was trying and was like, ok.

Either way, Super Mario 3D World looks like the bee's knees. Holy shit that game looks soooooooooo much better than it did at E3.

Yeah the E3 trailer was bland. I mean, I wasn't one to doubt EAD Tokyo, but I'd be lying if I said that the reveal trailer didn't give me a pang of underwhelm.

Briefly, since I kind of want to turn my brain off right now... You guys need to listen to more Falcom stuff, Sigma Harmonics, Kyd-composed Assassin's Creed, Virt, and Koshiro, clearly. :V

I remember saying that Ezio's Family was one of the more representative pieces of VGM this generation, and I still agree with that assessment. That also goes for some stuff from Halo.
Ok so I listened to some of the Virt and Koshiro stuff (this gen only mind you so Streets of Rage doesn't count). Initial impression: Koshiro is a high quality but not mindblowing composer, Tier 1 for sure but not the true peak, though I obviously haven't had the time to go through too much. Virt has impressed me more though. His work is both unique and incredibly good. Also seems to be a pioneer for good synth etc.

Perhaps it's becoming clear that I'm slightly biased toward music that has either an electronic feel, like Virt, or a steady beat like modern Sonic music tends to. Finding Falcom and the other guys will be harder though I think, so if you could link me some of the better tracks when you feel up to it that would be swell. I love finding new music to enjoy so this is great.

To back up a bit and throw another hat into the ring of kickass modern-day composers, Danny Baranowsky.

Speaking of the comics, the latest batch of covers is neat:


Sega's not the only one with 3D promotional renders now, Team Dark vs. the Battletoads, and Omega hunts for the fabled Red Ring of Death.
 
I don't like most of the redesigns, save Sally (she kinda needed to gain some clothes) and maybe Rotor.

Also, going by that last image, Team Sonic are #teamsony and Team Dark are #teamxbox confirmed

(Console wars: even when you try to avoid them... you can't.)

"Shadow gone evil" may as well be an oxymoron.

I peeked in there, but I bailed almost immediately. Those type of threads just seem so toxic.

That thread is worth it just to see Cboat give Penello the proverbial smackdown. Even Bish has taken shelter from the inevitable fallout of everything.

It was obvious enough why him and Major Nelson registered here in the first place, but having someone call them out on it is always great. Someone in that thread called it the "Avengers" of gaf insiders and the comparison is all too apt.

is the fallout of the cod ghosts thread really because the ps4 version looks slightly better? i honestly don't get that shit at all.

speaking of not caring about graphics, i preordered the wii u lost world, and i didn't even know it was $50.

It's not about the PS4 version looking "slightly better". It's about how, even at launch, a game as unimpressive looking as CoD ghosts has issues running at anything higher than 720p on XB1, a console that's supposed to be superior to it's predecessor. Other posts suggest that running at 720p is the least of it's problems (crashes, hang ups, etc). For a console that is charging $100 more than the competition to be so significantly crippled IS something that's gonna have people talking.

Also, keep in mind that more power does not only equal better graphics. The worst case scenario for the XB1 is for every multiplat to be a Bayonetta 360/PS3 comparison.

I was pretty excited about it from the get go (playable Peach! Super Mario Bros. 2 abilities!) but it's definitely looked better each time they've showed it.

Looks like exactly what I need after Lost World.

Archie Sonic game confirmed (lolno)

I like pretty much all the redesigns, but Antoine the least. He does look better in 2D, but still could be better.

Too bad Team Dark got stuck playing Sonic 06, Team Sonic is obviously playing Sega Superstars Tennis on a PS2.

Urgh, I overslept today and got to work 90 mins. later than my shift, thankfully they let me cover my shift for a different time period to make up for it.
...but still I can't believe I forgot to set my alarm, and I just now figured out how to have an alarm on my iPhone ring on set days.

...Final Fantasy Picross is addictive as hell.

Someone help.

Is that a 3DS game?

Er, that's on phones. Not 3DS, notice the top half not being wide and the fact the first and 4th snapshots aren't "split" UI-wise.

EDIT: She even said google accounts which means android, did u reeddddd :V

I only read that one post about FF Picross and just quoted it @_@

So the next SU arc is gonna be focused on Team Dark, huh? Wonder when we'll see Scourge again, want to see what he's been up to...

ah okay. i'm not sure people are really going to be that aware of it though. i get a feeling most of the fanbase will be on ps3/360 until at least 2015, and the people buying the xbox one will be getting it for forza, dead rising, and other exclusives. microsoft's doing what they can to keep the dudebro segment around, and sony's still on their cinematic lean with stuff like killzone and infamous. i don't see how this changes the split in america much.

When the comic and SatAM first came out, someone told me Antoine was Tails' older brother.
And that Tails has two tails because he took Antoine's
.
And 8-year-old me believed it.
This redesign actually makes it look like that now.

SonicGAF's Song of the Day - #29

Song: Sky Fortress Zone Act 3
Game: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 2 (Manchester 0)
Composer: Jun Senoue

Senoue Senoue Senoue. I just can't get away from the guy. He's everywhere, having been with the series for twenty years now, and that's the story of how the least qualified composer on staff got to do Sonic 4. Or, given the way the games turned out, maybe that's exactly why he was assigned to them. It is a mystery.

Sky Fortress's music is basically Final Fortress redux. A little less sleepy and a little more varied, but the principle, like the name, is basically the same. And that's really not too bad a thing, since Final Fortress would've been alright with a good kick in the pants (we'll be getting back to that). The worst thing I can say about this is that it's directionless; the intensity never changes, it doesn't build to anything, it doesn't go anywhere, and it doesn't even take a breather. There's a difference between being exciting and just being loud, and Sky Fortress doesn't get it. (additional reading: Metropolis Zone, Crank the Heat Up, Cosmic Angel, Terminal Velocity)

I find this noticeably worse then the Act 2 version with its messier beginning, sort of decent theme at its core that of course suffers from the Sonic 4 soundfont as well, more so because it has so much going on that it just gets too noisy if that makes any sense.
To reiterate Act 2 is better in pretty much every respect to me.

you guys

I've been tracking down old album booklets for curiosity's sake. One for the 1-disc SA2 OST has lyrics for some of the rap.

They're amazing.

They're not precisely accurate either, but the lyrics for all of the other songs are fine, so I can only assume that this isn't just a weird transcription but what Hunnid-P actually submitted.

Can you post whatever page has Wild Canyon? Was "Echidona" an intentional thing?
