Except AC3:L.
Anyone know if these things work? http://www.gomadic.com/sony-playstation-vita-portable-aa-battery-extender.html
It's a battery extender for Vita that uses AA batteries. I have a long road trip planned and won't have access to a cigarette lighter or any other kind of outlet.
It's listed on Amazon, but doesn't have reviews yet.

PSP lives on in all of us Vitabros.
Which reminds me, wanted to look up what the No Heroes Allowed guys are working on atm.

I would just spend the extra cash and get the Sony one, just to be safe.

Trying the Youtube app post update (in the US btw), really nice. Haven't tried playing video with it but the video playback was already stellar. Now the added functions in at this time make it about as good as the browser based site minus all the perks of plugins on PC.
On a separate note, why does the Vita disconnect from Wifi after like 5-25 minutes in random intervals. Sometimes while browsing or downloading I get random stops and I have to go into settings and disable-enable wifi again. Is there something in router settings or in Vita I can change to make this not happen?

Oh damn, the badman games were made by Acquire, which in fact already released a game on Vita -> Orgarhythm & Sumioni. I hope they continue making games for it even though Orga and Sumioni probably sold like shit :/

I did my part. Orga is quite fun.

Acquire were also involved with Sumioni, and Shinobido 2. I believe they were also involved with the Badman calendar app on Vita. Acquire were acquired by Gungho, who are a big Vita supporter with Ragnarok Odyssey, Dokuro, and Picotto Knights.
Is it? Tempted to pick it up just to support them. Short blurb why you like it?
Ah, nice. Might give Dokuro a whirl then after all. These guys seem like a company we should support considering all the games they publish on Vita.
And god damn, that Badman calendar app? Its not really only a calendar app and looks mighty awesome actually:

Including ACL. Not touching it again until the save update anyway so doesn't make a difference.
For those who aren't following the PSASBR thread, EGM has screenshots of the new Heavenly Sword x Wipeout stage along with everyone's favorite Vita character.

Orgarhythm is a hard game to recommend to nearly anyone because it's so unlike anything else out there that it's hard to give a point of comparison to explain what it's like. But i'll try...
The gameplay basically works like this... there is a giant guy (a god, i believe, in the game's lore) walking and he has followers. You don't control him, he walks on his own. The object of the gameplay is to command your followers to attack all the enemies that want to kill this god. You do this by taping commands on the screen and then using swiping gestures to basically paint the route that you want them to take.
The thing that makes it all work is that if you do your taps and swipes to the beat of the music you get more followers and they do more damage. So it actually turns into a rhythm strategy game.
When you get in the zone with the game it feels wonderful, the strategy isn't the deepest thing in the world (you have different colored troops who have strengths and weaknesses vs different colored enemies... and then you get different troop types so you can send in foot soldiers while firing from afar with archers) and the rhythm isn't nearly as complex as, say, expert on Frequency. But mixed together it's pretty wonderful.
Drawbacks are that it's kinda obtuse. Very little is explained. I died many times before it clicked. In fact I almost gave up on the game completely. Also there is some trial and error as the enemies can surprise you. They always spawn in the same spots though so part of it is just learning the levels and I know not everyone will love that.
Another plus is that there are boss fights which are very cool.
Another minus is the game is kinda short but the replayability is pretty decent.
And sometimes I just completely lose the beat to the music. The music is good but it's not exactly perfect for this type of game. Well some of it atleast. It gets weirdly ambient and not beat-heavy, which as you may guess doesn't help you keep time much. Some songs more than others.

WTF is that stage! That looks great, haha!
Hm, you make it sound quite a bit like Patapon, did you play that? Thanks for the impressions btw
So, he sees what some of us saw: It's a decent system and while it has ports (gee, sounds like another handheld we know *cough*) those ports and original games were fun, even if they had warts.
But him not getting the successor and instead holding onto a backlog of PSP titles is just LOLWUT.

Somehow I have not played a patapon game yet. I don't know why. I should remedy that.
SO GOOD.
Definitely recommended. I think you can skip over 1 though if you have no urge to play every game in a series and skip right to 2. They added a few features in 2 and I think its the best in the series.

In a weird strategy by sony, it will be free for limited time. So better watch out for the release date or you'll miss the free offer and have to pay money for it.
Oh okay, thanks. Do we know when it's releasing?
EARLY 2013
I wouldn't worry about it. By then you can get the game for dirt cheap.
You should be able to get the DLC without buying the game anyways.
Cool, thanks.
Every once in a while, Sony will defy the odds and put some neat feature in the Vita that nobody else has. In this case, being able to browse your subscription videos while watching a video on the Youtube app. I do this all the time on my PC via two separate windows, and I wouldn't have even thought about having it in a mobile device. So awesome. I realize this is a really niche feature but it's great for me.

I'm starting Uncharted now, I'm hoping I enjoy this too. 
Huh, how does that work. You guys have different PSNs right?

It's good but it has lots of touch screen shit thrown in just for the sake of it.
Some of it works well but some doesn't (touch screen boss fights can fuck right off).
Even so, the story is great, characters brilliant as ever, some great locations and lovely gameplay. My favourite Uncharted game in the series. Enjoy.

Haven't gotten far but so far it seems like 99% of it is optional stuff and then you can ignore it for normal controls.

As long as you can see it in CMA (on Vita) under PS3 > Vita, I think you're *cough*golden*cough*.
Hell, until recently, PS3 couldn't even recognize trophies that you earned on Vita.

Yep. Posted in it earlier.
Capcpom can still redeem themselves by releasing MML 1&2 on PSN..
i know they can't...a.k.a won't...sigh

A lot isn't optional though. Don't you need to use it to finish almost every melee? Climbing is optional except when a hand-hold crumbles and you gotta swipe to grab hold of another. As well as the boss fights you will see later being not optional.
I actually found the climbing where you touchscreen draw the path to work VERY well. I used it quite a bit just to save wear on my x button.
And new update? Gotta turn on my vita. Hoping to finish gravity rush tonight so I can go back to focusing on my studies. -_-
