Anime & Manga / Re: Kiddy Girl-and...wtf?

« on: March 25, 2009, 04:41:14 PM »

You're angry.

Because they changed the name.



srsly man

I'm angry at the high possibility of the entire concept of the anime being changed. Imagine if Mega Man had been given to a completely different company and it was turned into an edutainment game, or Halo being turned into a Horse sim-thing.

Like "Kiddy Grade" sounds real serious.

There was a sense of irony about it when you got into the story.

Unless the only real difference is just the art, I'm pissed. I loved Kiddy Grade, and if the sequel (which looked HIGHLY promising in the trailers) goes from being what the sequel to a space opera should be to some crappy love-fest or cutsie comedy, then I'll be beyond disappointed with Gonzo and the entire company behind him/it.

It'd be impossible unless Konami patches it =/ (good thing I have them all already)

That's what I mean, you're playing a game that can't be played due to it requiring outside materials, and yet you are indeed playing the game. Hence, paradox.

Where is my Mega Man Mania, Capcom?!

When Duke Nukem Forever comes out.


Would playing Boktai as a download be considered a paradox?

In this day and age, Capcom can come up with SOMETHING to make a good co-op Mega Man game. The only question is, what series?

That could probably describe the movie as well! 

Nah, the game the movie is based on is closer to the original Dragonball series than the movie it's based on

I saw the commercials for the movie a couple days ago, and my GOD was a lot more changed than I thought it would. I talked with someone about the movie today and he said he was going to watch the movie just because of how bad it was going to be About him and thousands of other people!

I have to wonder who's cheaper: Justice, or the son-of-a-[sonic slicer] from Arcana Heart. Is GG (PSX) the only one with Justice as the boss? or just the only version with Justice as a cheap-ass boss?

That gets you angry.

Having to go out instead of being able to obtain a pokemon without leaving your house gets you angry.

You get angry over that.




Just... just think about this.

I think it has to do more with the fact that Toys-R-Us only ever seems to be in highly populated places, or very far off on the road. If it was something like Wal-Mart giving them out, then either: A. the comment wouldn't exist, or B. the comment becomes especially sad. Let's face it, TRU is never around in the area, it's always off some distance and only a small handful of people who care live near it, or only the most obsessed Pokemon fans are going to drive to there. As for Wal-Mart, they're everywhere, even in a freakin' hicksville that I'm living in.

No, Ocarina has nothing to do with playing the stages (well, unless you're doing it online ).  It only removes the restrictions in the level editor, it doesn't change anything about how the game reads the stage.  You can play with the codes off, you can send hacked stages to people who have never installed HBC on their Wii, and all that jazz.  The same applies to this thing.

I kinda doubt that, but I'll try.  15 levels is a long way.

Oh, and I confirmed the Hammerne thing.  Yes, it works on Dragonstones. 

sweet.

It may be possible. I mean, Gotoh's like lv. 18 or something when he joins, right? It's possible to get him to lv. 20 and he's an upgraded unit. I'd imagine Nagi being able to get way more exp than upgraded units.

I know that, all Manaketes can go to Level 30.  What I meant was, how much experience is available in the Endgame?  She starts at Level 15, that leaves a pretty long way to go.

Oh. My guess is if you use her enough times (meaning using ONLY her), then I guess it would be possible to get her to lv. 30. Just have a healer or two behind her and let'er go.

Can the program overlap them?  Yes.

Can you play the game that way?

Most definitely yes. 

Ocarina's been able to do that for ages.

I knew Ocarina could do that, I wasn't sure if this stage builder thing allowed for similar results without Ocarina being on the Wii.

It kind of was. The 2D and 3D parts were split, much like the video had it going. Granted not a huge split, it did shift from 2D to 3D.

Off The Wall / Re: Much Ado About Internet Explorer 8

« on: March 20, 2009, 02:06:19 AM »

I literally can't even get IE to work on my computer anymore. I couldn't care less though, when I used IE it froze up CONSTANTLY. Even with IE7 it would get to a page and then screw up.

The number one thing that I love about Firefox that IE has troubles with is when a page isn't loaded. With Firefox, you can reload the page several times and it will actually reload (that way if some error occurs, you can keep trying until it gets fixed). With IE, I have to close it down EVERY time. Not just the tab, the ENTIRE thing. It just refuses to reload the damn page.

- IE8 now has tab "grouping" by use of tab coloring. I dunno you people, but I find that feature to be completely useless. Tabs are isolated entities, why the [tornado fang] would I want to group them?

Probably for the sake of making sure you know what sites each tab has. Though, I doubt most people have more than 4 tabs open when they're seriously browsing stuff (the only time I've had more than that is when I look up the webcomics I have bookmarked).

- Tab processes are isolated from each other, akin to Chrome. This is a step in the right direction; if one tab crashes, it won't take the entire window down with it. Fx will have to rework its development model to adapt to this, because when one of its tabs crashes, since the software is written as a single-process entity, the entire application goes down (all windows of it). One plus point for MS over Fx and Opera.

The good part about Firefox is (and I don't know about this for Chrome, though I kind of doubt it), whenever it shuts down unexpectedly, it keeps what pages you visited memorized until you manually close them out so that you can just restart Firefox and go back to browsing while closing the tab that screwed you up before it has a chance to load up again.

I haven't tried out Chrome yet, but considering that Firefox does exactly what I want it to do, there's not a huge problem with it.

That never occurred to me.  Fog of War does not exist in Shadow Dragon's single-player, so I hadn't taken notice of any sight differences.

Of the course the fact that I have no long-range attacks doesn't help any either.  Cursing the fact that the only Swarm in the game comes with Gotoh, and my first play was covering all the sidequests.  >.>

Hm, I wonder how high you can level-up Nagi in the Endgame?  I should find out sometime instead of Warp-finishing it in one or two turns.

Any unit that can't be promoted has a max level of 30, so I'm assuming that Nagi can only go up to lv. 30. 

Personally, Swarm isn't that great. It's accuracy is low, and is pretty much only useful for hitting units like Generals or Marth from afar, and even then it depends on how many resistance increasing items have been used on them. Dracoknights still have better Res. than most units, so Est and Caeda just shrug off the damage from Swarm thanks to their higher-than-average res. as well as decent HP.

If you do plan on making a WiFi team, or a re-run, make your WiFi team by the last Arena, and then Arena Abuse them until they've maxed out in levels and skill ranks (which helps since Gotoh isn't lv. 20 and doing so takes forever).

On a side note, can Hammerne work on the dragon stones?

Sounds like there's a good bit coming out/is out. So far, the particularly interesting ones are:
Star Force 3
M&L3
Perfect Prosecutor
Chrono Trigger
7th dragon
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Izuna: The Unemployed Ninja
Kingdom Hearts DS
and Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword

What's Knights in the Knightmare and the Yatterman games like? Does anyone know if the Hitman: Reborn! games are any good?

Why do they refuse Square-Enix? Square-Enix's graphic is better.

I think they're afraid of the girly-men (tell me Vaan is manly and you're lying).

Honestly, I don't know why they refused to be under SE's wing. Considering the money they're making, it seems like financially that would be the best call.

I think that was Tecmo, but Correct me if i'm wrong.

I think I messed up somewhere, it may be Tecmo that Square Enix wanted, I think Team Ninja is a subsidiary or something (the 2nd party to a 3rd party developer if that makes any sense), and by owning Tecmo, SE would have control over Team Ninja.

Either way, Square Enix didn't buy them out because they were put down, but I heard another company was trying/succeeded in buying them out.

Gaming / In need of a list of good DS games

« on: March 18, 2009, 10:15:34 AM »

Like the title says, I'm in need of a list of good DS games that are coming out within the year. If there are a couple of good ones that exist as well, go ahead and put them up. As of now, the games on the DS that I've played are:

Pokemon Pearl/Diamond
All three Phoenix Wright games + Apollo Justice
Fire Emblem
Super Mario 64 SD
New Super Mario Bros.
Mario Kart
Star Force 1 and 2
Trauma Center Under the Knife 1 and 2
Advanced Wars Days of Ruin
Yoshi's Island DS (the one with the different babies like baby DK and baby Wario)
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Feel the Magic
Wario Ware Touched
FF 3 and 4
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
Jump Ultimate Stars
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Kirby Cursed Canvas
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Mega Man ZX/Advent
Sonic Chronicles
Trace Memory
The World Ends With You

And that's about all I can really remember. My current DS is broken and I want a list of good games I've missed and that are coming out (as for the location, if it's a Japanese action game or fighting game or something where the plot isn't something that's need, then I'll take that, but if it's like a Japanese RPG (in the language sense), then it really won't help me out unless a guide for it is up and available). I plan on trading in some stuff and (hopefully) get a job to buy a DSi.

On a side note, does anyone have an MP3 to MP4 converter or something? I used to have one when I had my PSP, but it doesn't list MP3's as something it can create an MP4 of).

Yet another reason Wifi blows, is a reminder of why I hate Fog of War:  The fact that you can't see anything until AFTER your turn is over, therefore anything not within two spaces of a character is effectively invulnerable.

Wait, can't Theives see farther ahead? Didn't you raise Julian up well to use? Why not equip him with your best sword and have him in your WiFi team?

Possibly because of one entity. Sega.

Possible, but isn't Sega falling? Besides, couldn't they make more money by airing a different show? I doubt that Sonic X has been topping the charts for 2 years, or even enough for it to be running any more. Granted that kind of holds true with all of their shows.

Now they just need to get the freakin' subs up and they'll slowly start to move from absolutely horrible to just horrible. That, or not make the new dubs so freaking bad.

Good job, 4Kids. Now please bring out those uncut Sonic X episodes here on YouTube as well.

Speaking of which, isn't the series over? As in, a new episode hasn't appeared in at least 2 freakin' years? Why are they still airing it?

Gaming / Re: Best combat system of an action game?

« on: March 18, 2009, 06:10:30 AM »

I like over the top like in No More Heroes, but a fixed combat system since God Hand's is broken (seriously, during some of the arena matches, the dodge is useless, the item rate for any item is insanely low, and they REALLY should have made it so that a full tension bar is used up, not used until the original first bar is depleted, and then stops, leaving you with a chunk of tension left, and they REALLY needed to have included a way to recharge your Roulette Orbs without having to use freaking items ><). Ninja Gaiden moves well, and everything is placed where it should be, but the battle system is just messed up. Ninja Gaiden and God Hand have a habit of placing a lot (as in, a minimum of 6 hulking beasts) of enemies in front of you, each one with insane health and the ability to dodge in the blink of an eye and expect you to get through them when you can only attack one target at a time and enemies attacking you from behind. No More Heroes has it so that you have attacks that have a wide range, only stick about 3-5 enemies at a time, some requiring a bit more skill to kill while the others aren't too much of a huge threat. That is a system I like, but it need special attacks (or something somewhat more uber, like if instead of what the Roulette System does, you can only use the special attacks with a full whatever meter).

Pretty much take what's good about No More Heroes, what's good about God Hand, mix the two together, and tweak it so that the game is hard, but allows the use of an ace up your sleeve to get you out of the rock hard moments, and that to me is the very definition of a perfect game.

Am I missing something here? Last I heard, Team Ninja couldn't use any of Itagaki's creations whatsoever, which pretty much shot down the dreams of any other game aside from DOA5 or whatever the next one was. Plus, wasn't Team Ninja about to be bought out by a different company?

Someone mind filling me in on the details since those were the latest? I know they refused to be bought out by Square-Enix, but I thought there was a second company that attempted and succeeded in buying them.

I have a question about this: can pirated games actually trade with regular systems? I mean, can I emulate Plat. and have whatever I catch go straight to my Pearl version?

If not, I highly doubt it'll give me a reason to go out and get Plat., since I want to get a job and (if anything) get a DSi. Then I have to find games I'd actually WANT to play on the DS, so until a good handful come out, I doubt I'll be getting a new handheld soon.
