Mmm, I have cravings for a smoke, but I keep myself in line knowing that I don't have the money for more than a pack a month.

I recommend Benson & Hedges premium.

I thought the story and characters in the first one was fuckin horrible, how well do they fare in the second?


Story tries too hard to be dramatic.

Buy it for the gameplay, not the story.


How are the characters? Is there "Boy-Scout" Characters like SNOW? Did Snow man up and realize he can't save everybody?

Any good character development???


Spoiler:
Also... NTR?


Dunno what you mean by boy-scout characters. Snow is a minor character in this series so there isn't really much development with his character - I suppose there is some though.

In terms of general character development... I guess there is some? Frankly it's difficult for me to figure out how the main characters progressed through the story since throughout the entire story they're so dramatic about everything. Noel is pretty frank, reminds me of Tidus.
Serah is drama personified.

Spoiler:
Depends if you mean NTR as in Serah being Noel's bitch in a sexual manner, no. If you mean NTR as in Noel and Serah getting closer than Serah x Snow emotionally, yes.

Every second 3 people die.


I thought it was every 30 seconds 1 person dies.

Boring lectures.

Edit: I guess the more politically correct statement is: lectures that are boring.

So I got my copy of the collector's edition. I think I got a pretty good deal for an extra twenty bucks. The soundtrack they included, they're (Square-Enix) is wanting 35 for it separately. Plus I got the collector's edition guide. Yeah I went all out on this. The game's really good too.


Yes, the soundtrack is awesome. Damn, I should have bought the collector's edition.

Been playing it for 6 hours now. Pretty tired of hearing "paradox, future, past" and pretty much any sophistry attached. Ugh. Still like it though.

I have one, and the graphics are amazing :V It's pretty cool and all, but there are some things that could use fixing:

1) battery life is max ~4 hours of continuous gaming
2) lack of ability to turn off auto-sleep
3) console is locked to a single account, swap memory cards to swap accounts

It's pretty nice, but I don't feel it was worth the $540 I paid for the console, a game (Lord of Apocalypse), a 16GB memory card, and a leather case (all that with $60 shipping) I imported it for the sake of having circle as my confirm button :V a lot of the interface is touchscreen, but in-game, use of touchscreen is very limited from what I've played:

Uncharted Golden Abyss Demo
Star Strike Delta (Stardust)
Lord of Apocalypse
Ragnarok Odyssey Demo
Wipeout 2048 Demo

However, one demo that really stands out in terms of using the touchscreen is a game called Sumioni (Ink Demon), scheduled to release early February in Japan. It's like a hack and slash with Okami elements to it (drawing stuff to interact with objects and enemies)


How's the backward support for PSP? Could you dl your psp games easily no prob?

A very calming album, with the exception of "Brainforest" where I felt like I was being fucked up by aliens - in a good way. I searched your name on Soundcloud, but didn't see it. Have you tried uploading your tracks there? It's a good way to get noticed.

"Lesser Metroid" - Sound isn't "unique", but executed very well. The ending felt abit unexpected, as in it felt like it came out of no where.

"Dull Stars" - It may be because I don't listen to much ambient, but this was a very "unique" sound to me - I enjoyed it. At 31 seconds there seems to be static - is this intentional or is it my setup? After 20 or so seconds the static dies down.

"Brainforest" - This sounds scary, in a horror way - is that intentional? I love it, it has a very creepy feel.

"Silver Complex" - My favorite in the album. Something about the rhythm of the chimes in the end feels nostalgic, can't recall from where though.

I'm pretty annoyed of hearing/seeing the word "life" added to sentences. It makes it seem like the speaker has been enlightened to some stupid self-aggrandizing belief that's stupid. Did I mention it's stupid?

E.g. [In ranks of stupidity]

1. "That's life for you."
2. "Well, that's life."
3. "I learned in life [insert stupidity here]."
4. "Life is all about [insert stupidity here]."

If you're curious you should read this article.

"The Megaupload case is unusual, said Orin S. Kerr, a law professor at George Washington University, in that federal prosecutors obtained the private e-mails of Megaupload’s operators in an effort to show they were operating in bad faith.

'The government hopes to use their private words against them,' Mr. Kerr said. 'This should scare the owners and operators of similar sites.'"

Shit. This is bad news, a large number of legitimate files were on megaupload. And let's not forget the large amount of VNs stored there.

As you said, it has negative cannotations in Japan and people have been killed in the past for being one. The term's been somewhat adopted into the English language to some degree, and it doesn't have negative cannotations in the West because none of us take the term as an insult, can't take an insult for something that you know is true, right?


People have been killed? Thought it was all just suicide.

Sigh, you wanna know so bad huh? They are mostly hackers and whatever else that is bad that the internet can offer that earns money. THAT is why people avoid them.


I don't mean to call you out, but I'm going to call you out. You are drawing an immediate correlation to 4ch and Anon. Hasn't it circulated that stereotyping is somewhat counter-productive?

(Sigh)...(-_-;;)
