  1. Rule of Rose

    Game magazines absolutely hated this game! Their ratings were almost as bad as those for Superman 64. Problem is that I don't agree with them one bit. Sure, the fighting was terrible, but that was just from a poorly-designed collision-detection program. Great story, awesome music by Yutaka Minobe (Panzer Dragoon, Skies of Arcadia), beautiful character designs and FMVs. I love it.

    Chalk another one up for Rule of Rose. I bought this game knowing full well of the ratings it got. Like ifirit said, the only thing wrong with this game is the battle system and it sure hasn't stopped me from enjoying this game in the least. If you love survival-horror, there's a very good chance you'll like this game.

  2. As much as it pains me to say, the movie did suck for the most part. I really tried to like it, but after seeing it for the third time in theaters, I came to the conclusion that the acting was subpar, the dialogue was just terrible and the progression of the storyline did not achieve much coherency. Playing the game helped fill in the holes A LOT. Many of my friends who hadn't played the game before were pretty much like, "WTF is going on?" the entire time.

    Let's just pray for some redemption in the second one.

  3. O.o

    What do you guys make of *this*?

    A Silent Hill arcade gun game? That's a little much, don't you think? Admittedly, I'd *love* to know exactly what happened on the Little Baroness, since the game never exactly said what happened, if I recall.

    EDIT: Here's a link to a thread with a bunch of screenshots. This *definitely* does NOT look like anything in the Silent Hill canon (Even if, somehow, the story actually seems to be - just not in the gameplay sense of canon, I guess)....and it's just weird...but it does kinda look fun! There's pictures on both the first and second pages of that thread there.

    If I saw this in an arcade, my normal reaction would be, "Hey, cool. I've gotta try this." 30 seconds later, I'm sure I'd be cursing the creators. Smells like a lame-ass spin-off.

    No thanks

  4. Wait, what? We didn't get any earth magic either, unless Gravity counts, and I don't think it does.

    Oh, God... You're right. To think I spent 103 hrs on that game and can't remember what elemental spells I actually used. I remember seeing the symbol for sure when fiends used it against me. Damnit anyway.

  5. What really pisses me off is that there's no multi-hit water spell available to humans.

    And thinking about it, Blue Magic wouldn't've been too hard to implement:

    1) Add a technick called "Capture" or something like that, that allows you to perform a Poach-like action on critically injured foes. Capturing a foe would give you a chance of acquiring a licence for a specific Blue Magic.

    2) Add a section of the board for the appropriate skills.

    AND REALLY, SQUARE, WOULD IT HAVE KILLED YOU TO PUT WATERGA ON THE LICENCE BOARD?

    Hammer. Nail. Direct hit. I was like:

    Fire? Check

    Ice? Check

    Wind? Check

    Earth? Check

    Black? Check

    White? Check

    Water? ok, but where's ga?

    Waterga? ....? You've gotta be kidding me

    Seriously, just excluding it is mind boggling, but having enemies use it against you on top of that... wtf?

  6. Also, Shadow Hearts: Covenant IS much better than Shadow Hearts. Haven't finished the first, have finished the second, so that speaks volumes for me.

    Sarge out.

    Yeah, man.

    Shadow Hearts: meh

    Covenant: Hooray!

    From the New World: Woohoo!

    Judge those last two responses however you will.

  7. An unnecessary, painful death caused by on overdose water... That just sucks. So, video game consoles apparently have the ability to make people murder their infant child (the xbox incident) and commit suicide. Soon, fanboys will, literally, be at each other's throats in what will soon be the real Console War. Stay tuned

  8. Anyone want a significant discount on a PS3? No problem. Just trade in your PS2, your second controller and your memory card. Now you have a system that also plays PS2 games, and it only cost you $400 to $500!

    AWESOME DEAL!

    Who in their right mind would take this trade? Get rid of a system with shitloads of games for it, that only costs a little over a hundred bucks, and get rid of not only your extra controller, but your memory card as well? For a system that only has one controller (with no rumble and an unused tilt feature), no pack-in game, and you still have to pay three to four times as much for?

    Yikes. That's pretty weak. I actually almost gave my PS2 to one of my friends when I got the 3, but soon realized the HDMI conversion discrepancies when playing PS1 games. PS1 games actually do look worse on the 3 than the 2. Of course, I take into account the size and resolution differences between the TVs I used. Nasty looking edges and some other eyesores that weren't all too apparent on my 27in Wega, show up quite vivid on my new 32in Phillips LCD HD. I was praying there wouldn't be quality issues with the backwards compatibilty, but it looks like the Sony gods have smited me.

  9. Raw chicken

    Raw chicken hearts

    Live sea urchins

    Raw squid and octopus

    Swallows nest soup

    Algae and vinegar with a raw quail's egg

    .....WHAT? :vomit:

    That's Fear Factor shit right there. A couple I could see maybe being somewhat tasty, but that last one... Jesus God, man.

  10. I don't really mind the lack of formatting TOO much because I've seen how badly it can be abused on MySpace.

    I think Facebook does a lot of things right, though:

    -The Ads

    -The Feeds that you can choose to IGNORE certain people on -or- NOT send out certain information YOURSELF. Which leads into...

    -Shares+ are like what MySpace "bulletins" should be. Plus then you could COMPLETELY ignore the people who're posting random SHIT, and actually see what people who AREN'T fucktards are trying to share.

    etc etc

    Factor in the customizable Firefox toolbar and the Google Search, and Facebook is the only site of it's kind you'll ever need :o.

    Myspace bulletins are a freakin joke. Your homepage shows the 5 most recent bulletins and more often than not, all 5 are stupidass surveys by the same girl. If it's not a survey, then it's usually something lame about how much they miss/love their boyfriend. I don't have a facebook account. Maybe I should look into that.
