  1. Okay uh

    I have so many books that I've broken two sets of shelves. 90% of it is manga.

    I have 3DS, PSP, 360, Wii, and PS3, although my backlog on all of those is embarassingly large.

    My DVD collection is also equally large and backlogged.

    I like listening to music.

    I'm a college student attempting to go into psych.

    I adore the Mana series, but own about everything outside of the insane ultra-rare promos for old games for the series.

    I take care of my parents and open gifts with extended family who still aren't keen on what this "innernet" thing is so if it's something that polite company wouldn't like, find some way to warn me, on the box or through baha and I can hide it or something.

    What else goes here?

  2. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/yxx3m/suspensions_for_offensive_names_and_inappropriate/

    ArenaNet is responding publicly to people who think they were unfairly suspended. NSFW, but pretty hilarious.

    Some people are also already hacked by goldsellers, which makes me think this email sitting in my inbox saying a password reset attempt on my ArenaNet account that has only ever played GW1 is SOMEWHAT FISHY.

  3. Some time ago I posted a list of all my Nintendo Power issues in the For Sale thread. The deal was they'd be free to a good home, you only pay shipping. If there's any interest, I'd be happy to go through and list all my issues for those interested in adopting them.

    Is there any interest in the community? I'd rather they go to someone who would appreciate them than to the recycling center.

    There's 3-4 where Secret of Mana is the main focus. I'd be interested in those, somewhat.

  4. I just want to say that if you play Demo in MvM, and you don't use the Loch n Load, you are missing out on the number one murdercannon in that mode.

    Equip the ScoRes for popping medic groups and getting some big chunks off on the tank as they roll out, pump -all- your cash into the LnL (I do Reload Speed, then Firing Speed & Clip Size, then Ammo) and you will decimate anything.

    It is wild fun to see a huge pack of scouts or demoknights drop down, point your 10-round rapidfire grenade launcher at it, and just watch them all EXPLODE.

    Now to just get my 6th and final mission done for my first Botkiller weapon, hopefully.

  5. All four of my Mann Up victories have been me rolling the Scout.

    Self -> Move Speed is the second upgrade I purchase in the game. I buy resistances tailored to what we're facing -> explosives for demo and soldier, flame for pyro, bullet for Heavy. If your team is good enough, you'll be picking up money fast enough to make health regen pointless. If your team is not that good, you won't win anyway.

    FaN -> Upgraded last or second to last. Generally clip size or damage.

    Mad Milk -> Giving it slow is the first purchase I do in the game. As the game pushes on, I'll max out recharge time reduction, ESPECIALLY if it's scout-heavy

    Fan o War -> No upgrades at all. Use the increased move speed to dart in, whack a priority target, dart out.

    Overall, just pop a few shots in a clusterfuck, make it a priority to collect money, and circle behind the swarms and meatshot things like Medics and Snipers. Lining up a good shot on the multi-medic giants can let you take out all the medics while the giant is busy trying to take out the heavy from a distance.

    Overall MvM Loot: Demo battery bandoleer, Sniper Robot Fedora. Neither are things I want but eh.

  6. $2000 and $500 on virtual items!? 8-O

    And can't you get the items in the crate at random, for free? Each to his or her own I guess, not my thing. Wait, why I am posting here again?

    Oh, yeah, do people still play on the server? I've never seen anyone on. Probably a time difference issue.

    EDIT: Not that there's anything wrong with spending money on that, I was just surprised.

    Strange items come from crates only. Examining my list again, there is a huge increase in key purchases once strange items could come from crates.

  7. european SNES?

    Yes. ONe's NTSC, one's PAL, one's NTSC-J. PAL & NTSC-J were a gift from a friend, along with the guidebook off in the corner over there. Also not shown is the Square Millenium Collection Legend of Mana, which came with Elazul and Peral figures and a music box.

    Also yes, Neill Corlett. Square, find him, ask him how much he wants for his translation, give him this, there, the time-consuming part is done.

    Also on the subject of soundtracks, the entirety of Disc 4 of the Dawn of Mana soundtrack is nothing but arrangements of SD1-3 tracks. It is wonderful.

  8. They should do something with the Seiken Densetsu series.

    They did. It was called "World of Mana", and it was a catastrophic mess. Heroes of Mana was okay, Children of Mana was incredibly repetitive, and apparently Dawn of Mana (Which was Seiken Densetsu 4) was the absolute worst sales-wise, enough to cause them to shuttle the whole thing.

    Which, as someone who enjoys the Mana series very much, pisses me the hell off. The game was an action platformer with the havok engine, and it just had so many problems. Soundtrack was incredible, though, but the game itself just

    Ugh, Square-Enix, you dumb motherfuckers.

    WoM was them attempting to tie all the games into one cohesive storyline. Heroes of Mana took place directly before SD3 (The in-game bios flat out state which characters in your party are Hawkeye's Parents), Children of Mana has you visit an area from SD3, Dawn of Mana was going to be the start of the whole series just....ugh. Was so excited, then they screwed it up every step of the way.

    But no seriously, Square-Enix. Listen. Take Secret of Mana. Keep the Woosley translation if you want. A new translation would be nice but it's not a deal breaker to me. Track down whoever did that fan translation of SD3, cut them a check. Bundle them, add netplay to both, release on Steam for $20. Talk to the ZSNES guys if the idea of PC netplay scares and frightens you.
