  1. I just went through a whole T1 run with six Tunnels missions, and only managed to find the cake dudes once, which is a bummer. I'll take another crack at just running one mission repeatedly tonight, to see if that produces better results.

    The slightly-frustrating thing for me at this point is that I can't continue to progress through the remaining missions, since I'm stuck at the full 5-star loadout requirement. I've had my Levi Blade for a while, and I managed to craft an Aegis recently, so now I just need to hoard up some CE and grind out the armor and helm requirements. I did pull my first FSC run with a few benevolent strangers the other day, though I didn't have the equipment to attempt Vanaduke.

    It won't get incredibly better I suppose, but it's better to spam 1-2 stages than a whole tier. It's an energy sink for the impatient, it was like that for me in Halloween. I had my friends and guildmates all over it.

    Now about the star stuff, that's new to me since I kind of haven't done the missions but same basic principle for getting your gear up. It's going to take a little time but you'll get there. I hope the armor you have ready for 5* is elemental or has fire protection though if you're after FSC. (Shadow is ok, but some of those have fire weaknesses so that could be terrible there lol)

  2. I'll probably do this, not sure. I'm glad to see they've made a year and I was there for most of it.

    Anyway, just like punkin, this guy spawns in clockwork tunnels, so just look for d9 stages with clockwork tunnels and farm those. It'll still waste your energy, but you won't have to run entire gates looking for them.

  3. well I was holding on playing until Missions Released, then I got exams so I'm sticking with something lighter (FPS game since disconnections don't "cost" me there).

    Anyway, today's update adds to missions but as of this time, it's steam only and requires payment. No workarounds at this time. Steam gifting is an option but only if you have steam. I'll wait to see what happens next. Kind of tough that many have wished for a shadow bomb and one gets released like this. I won't be mad yet though.

  4. You just explained exactly why it's good for the demo to have limited uses.

    I own the game =.= I bought it because I wanted to know the story of the game. However, it's much more convenient to just play the trial at school than to install the full game to every random computer I use at school.

    Sega had competitions for fastest times on the demo of Sonic Generations to win a copy of the game if I'm not mistaken. I'm sure people had to play lots to come up with the best times possible there. Playing a demo as much as you want is good as long as it is limited enough to not like giveaway the entire game experience.

  5. Yeah, I think 30 startups is plenty to get through it enough times to decide whether you like the taste you're getting of the game.

    I've opened the demo 4 times so far and I'm sure it will have worn out its purpose by the time the game is released.

    I probably won't go through it 15 times, however, when I play game demos, I just expect them to be unlimited in play if not limited in features. Never know when I might suddenly feel nostalgic and want to play it again. I probably spent more time in the Halo PC trial multiplayer than I did the actual purchased game.

  6. Must've been the exploding 'zombie' that set off somehow.

    In case you fellas didn't notice, when you clear 'Normal' mode, you unlock a very-hard 'Hell mode' where the enemies are more deadly/numerous and resources are fewer.

    Speaking generally, I love my 3DS. Can't wait to play all the games coming out for it this year and also see what surprises they unveil at e3.

    didn't know that..if that's true, that's another reason for me to be unhappy about the 30 uses rule...

  7. so my SD card crapped out and I used a different one from my house. now in the process of re-downloading all my apps :/ gonna be more than a little pissed if it also lost all the gamesaves and data D:

    anyway, the resident evil demo scared me shitless. I couldn't fucking figure out how to use the knife though so I died.

    and super mario 3D land is one of the best games I've ever played on any system

    I was horrible at it, somehow I managed to finish without dying but it was close. I did get scared one time when two jumped down from above.

    I basically only played RE4 though (had some experience with 1 and 3), but I actually was weirded out when I entered another room with two zombies and ran back out and they didn't follow me.

    I actually kept doing that and one of them died somehow?

  8. yes, this one was around before SOPA supposedly, but the current state of this is unknown to me at this time.

    Honestly, I worry a bit more about ACTA right now as it was already signed here in America and is coming close to being signed in Europe. But since it is a trade agreement, according to a friend, it really doesn't matter if Europe signs or not, we're already in. There's multiple parts to ACTA but relevant to this, it seems to do something similar by forcing ISPs to monitor what we do otherwise they'll get sued.

  9. Oh, is this rich...

    Like Hollywood is really going to get people on their side with this kind of typical misinformation...

    hey, TV reaches a lot of people even today, I imagine a lot of people hadn't heard of SOPA before yesterday and of those kind of people, some of them didn't go on the internet yesterday. So if they hear about it on TV first, they'd support it.

  10. And here I thought my state couldn't be any dumber, you just made it a "slight" bit better.

    I hate Paducah, the day I move away from here, will probably be just one of my happiest days of my life.

    yeah. It's sad but what can you do. Glad it's mostly not enforced, or at least doesn't appear to be. At least the public library system around here is great (free internet and whatnot).

    People are starting to backpedal on this issue.

    Now, I don't know much about the "OPEN" act (which a Senator from Oregon proposed) but apparently it might not be too much better than PIPA.

    It's rather annoying that so much time is tied up in these kinds of things. Is piracy REALLY that big of a deal? Maybe it's because I actually have money now, but I find that it's nowadays much easier to just buy stuff rather than to try to pirate it. With iTunes, Steam, online distribution, Netflix, Hulu, or advertisement-supported streaming, buying is easier than ever.

    Sure, there are going to be people who pirate, but really, they're probably doing so because the material is hard to get, or they're not going to buy stuff anyway.

    I think they're going to pass something sooner or later, it's just more about how much can we get them to take out of these bills to get them to tolerable.

    I don't have much of an opinion on piracy, I have my own personal limitations. In general, if it is obtainable here, I'll get it, or not get it. If it is something that is refused to be sold here for whatever reason or near impossible to get (like some anime for instance), then I might not pay as much attention to the rights of that company...

    though is youtube-ing something really piracy..perhaps but I'm not counting that myself.

  11. I wasn't necessarily saying if they blacked out, but if they had a banner at the top of the page talking about SOPA/PIPA and why it's bad, then Hell would really rain down on Congress.

    On the other hand, I can understand its decision not to. They have a lot of power by directly reaching out to users. It's important that they only use it in the most dire of circumstances so as not to hurt their business model (as you mentioned), and so that the option remains an effective one.

    yeah they have too much to lose, it would be a really nice sentiment though. Me and a few friends have small references to it, blacked out profile pictures/covers, another with a STOP SOPA sign, etc. But I've been talking about it prior to today in small parts, I think anyone passing by my profile already knows.

    Oh hmm I haven't tweeted anything though but I rarely use that..

  12. Incredibly excited when I saw the title logo from Sonic Advance 1 on the right side of the screen.

    The site has plenty of Sonic arranges of the old console games, but the handheld games get no love. Which is a shame because the music quality is just as good. Hell, the gameplay is just as good. Seriously.

    Anyway, great arrangement. Would love to see more arranges of these songs, in particular, egg rocket zone 1.

    This so much. Though a similar story could be said for the 3d Sonics as well. Past Sonic Adventure 2, it is hard to find love as well (we got one mix from 06 but that's it). Still, gotta start somewhere, and this is an excellent start
