I want to see that creepy art style in this game. I keep hearing more good things about it.

I heard that term "jacksy" on a sitcom a while ago (I think it was French and Saunders) and have been using it ever since. I think I was using it wrong though. I thought it meant crotch when it really means butt. I love British slang. So interesting. 

All I have to say is there better not be any "working out the kinks" in this one. No bugs in other words.

I think yes but you don't go into another screen to battle. You maneuver on the field, which has a grid underneith it. The monsters move as you move, a square at a time. Then you fight them when next to them by just using "x" or "shift and x" to use a special attack. It goes back and forth until one side wins. This was one on one. I'm not sure what happens when you get a team down there. I'll find out soon though.

Talisman sounds really cool. Monopoly crossed with an RPG makes me think of the Culdcept video games. I've been wanting another game like that for a while now. 

Preordered it today. May 22nd. Can't wait!

Just played the first dungeon. This game uses the same layout, art design, and type of music as Etrian Odyssey Untold Millenium Girl. The difference being it's in an isometric point of view in the dungeons instead of first person. The gameplay seems very similar if not the same but I'm not sure what happens with multiple characters in a group. The first dungeon I did solo, but now I have four other party members. Not sure how you orient them on the field and use them to fight yet. I'll do dungeon 2 tomorrow night.

I saw this five year old today holding an iPad like it was part of him. These kids are takin' to this new tech right away.

Well, I'll be posting more music stuff because I plan to go on a music hunt every Friday for a while.

I remember those extra minutes at the end of mix tapes. My friend Sean and I used to do little audio skits to fill the space. You used to have these tape players that would play forward and backward, so you'd leave the tape in to play both sides. Between sides you heard the bits at the end kind of like messages on the inner circle of a vinyl record (btw that James Gang Yer Album vinyl version had such messages I found out). At one point I collected all the bits Sean and I did at the end of mix tapes. It was funny stuff.

I'm interested in the user created levels. I wonder if they are still available? I've heard about some really creative ones.
