  1. Like when MGS1 criticized players <i>in-game</i> for having mono speakers. I was one of those players.

    When did that happen?

    So I just played through the demo and I want this game so bad. Except I won't buy any games until I get money for school, which should be very soon. But First I need to play Darksiders.... and rent Brutal Legend.... And "insert random insult" Bayonetta.

  2. That was me. I'd give the new series a chance if someone could reassure me that the characters wouldn't make me want to stab my own eyes out. Seriously, the only characters in the original series that I didn't hate either a) got little screen time, or B) were killed off fairly quickly... and thus got little screen time.

    Why am I always so negative in this thread? I actually like anime. Maybe it's just easier for me to discuss what you don't like than it is to gush about whatever I happen to think is awesome. Which usually boils down to "things being awesome."

    I am a man of simple tastes.

    Well, there is no Dante this time which I'm sure everyone loves. Teacher? You'll just have to see for yourself. You get to meet Armstrong's older sister, the brigadier general for the fortress of Briggs (She's probably the coolest new character.) Kimberly is much more refined. Scar is bigger and badder than ever. Marcoh survives. There is no little boy wrath nor annoying mommy sloth. They have been replaced by much better villains. Rose isn't a liability this time. That role has been replaced by Winry. She played a much bigger part this time around. The new main bad guy is much better and the conspiracy goes much deeper this time.

    Trust me when I say that this is now my favorite anime and every week I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode to come out.

  3. All right guys. FMA-B is now my favorite anime hands down. I've never been this much in suspense before watching a series. This new series is undoubtedly superior to the original FMA in every way. Instead of focusing on the Elric brothers, they have this much bigger plot involving the whole country. Someone said about the original series that everything was reused. Alchemy, philosophers stone, and humuncolus (sp) were all made from humans the last time. But now only the stone is.

    I could go on about this but I really need to get some studying done. You should all know that it really is an entirely different work from the original. Not like Dragon Ball Kai which is the same story just without fillers. Is anyone else following this series right now?

  4. You can easily play the second one without knowing the backstory. But if you ever want to play through the first one second, you will be extrememly disappointed because U2 improved just THAT much. That's what I've heard anyway. I've only watched a playthrough of the first game and played the crap out of the demo. If you want, the U2 demo just went up on psn, and the first uncharted demo has been out for a while.

  5. So Uncharted 2 won 100 GotY awards.

    That's record breaking, Fallout won 63 in 2008 and Bioshock won 46 in 2007.

  6. I agree. I'm playing ff7 on my psp right now and I can't imagine how it was possible for me to have such a difficult time on my first playthrough. There hasn't been a boss that I haven't completely destroyed so far. Even the Prod Cloud was a breeze. Of course now it's going to be even easier now that I have unlimited megalixers (w-item materia)

  7. ps3's been hacked. Ever since I modded my ps2 and it broke 8 months later, I said that it wasn't fair to the developers and never got an illegal piece of media again. (I actually got another ps2 later) But it will be interesting to see how sony will handle this. Probably the same way as the psp where you can't access the internet without the latest firmware.

  8. Major film contracts for actors will usually include royalties or a percentage of overall gross. The majority of the film's budget went toward developing the camera technology necessary to film the movie. The rest would have gone to developing the computer generated visual effects.

    So you are saying that it cost nearly $2 billion to do that? Budget maybe, but profits?

  9. Yeah, I payed something like £9 to go and see it in 3d - usually it's more like 6 or 7. Not that it wasn't worth it, but still...

    I think I remember reading that, inflation-adjusted, it still has a long way to go to beat Gone With the Wind.

    If that’s the case, all we would be looking at is the ticket sales.

    So with the overwhelming amount made on this movie, where does the money go? I assume it first goes to cover the cost of the movie, but then what? To Cameron? The studio for upcoming productions? To the staff distributed accordingly?

  10. They don't feel pain, and their data (or "consciousness") is uploaded to a satellite in orbit, and downloaded back into another tackikoma brain, ready to be put onto a new body.

    In fact, the series has the original ones "die" in a battle at the end, but in the movie following the series, the Major somehow used her magical hacking skills to retrieve them and gave them all new bodies and they work for here in her various maybe-maybe not legal activities.

    That "shriek" is just the modem.

    Because we all know that a highly advanced think-tank runs on a 256k modem.

  11. I actually went and bought the Ghost in the shell ps2 game. ($7) It was a 3rd person shooter and you played as the Major and Batou. The game plays alright, and the story definitely has that GitS feel, but the level design is horrible, it's very short, the AI is retarded, and the story is broken up by these long empty levels. But I expected that. It wasn't a bad game. Major and Batou play very differently, the graphics are very well done for last gen, and there's vs multiplayer.

    But while we are on the subject, the creators of Ghost in the Shell also made IGPX.

    You can see that they did a nod to Ghost in the Shell with the GitS logo on its arm. Does anyone else think this show was incredible? It's actually in my top 3 favorites. There's no cheesy love story, the main character only goes emo for 2-3 episodes, the story is pretty darn good, the action is incredible, the voice work is mostly great(I like the announcer), and it's a show about racing. I hate racing, yet I like this show so much. What did you guys think about this one when it was on Toonami?

  12. Ruby weapon fool-proof strategy

    Start with 2 characters dead so Ruby's hands will go into the ground. Then cast Phenix to rise your dead party members.

    W-summon Knights of the round and Hades

    Hades will cause Stop.

    Cast mime and repeat.

    It helps if you have 2 mimes. And if you run out of mp, that hp/mp switch materia can help you there, giving you thousands of mp.

  13. I'm busy trying to get the uncharted 2 plat. All I need to do is get the rest of the treasures and beat it on crushing mode. (I'm on lvl 3) Oh yea, I also need to get 200 kills with the minigun weapon. It's kind of a pain to run upstairs and look at the web for the trophys and then run downstairs to go find them. But i'll manage.
