I want Fire Emblem but I'm still hoping they do a second run of the physical game before I take the plunge.
Rayman Origins, I saw the 3DS version at Costco for 18 bucks but left it there because I've never heard anything good about it and the demo sucked.
Good to see your game blogs here. I haven't played a Bit Trip game yet. I ran around for about 2 minutes in Retro City Rampage and then died. I wasn't sure what my goal was.
Nothing better for a "Case of the Mondays" than some Metal. :)
100 bucks for a 32 GB card is complete bullshit. There is no reason the thing shouldn't have been designed to take SD, Micro SD or MS Pro Duos like the PSP did. It all boils down to greed. It probably would have taken Pro Duo cards except that you can now buy Pro Duo shells anywhere for next to nothing and stick a Micro SD in them.
Well we see how well greed is working for them now. Costco in Canada reduced their bundles to $197 two weeks ago with an 8 GB stick, a case and Hot Shots Golf. This week they pulled them off the shelves completely because they still didn't sell.
The Vita is a nice piece of hardware, I don't understand why Sony is trying to kill it.
I've got one Ash. 50 quid plus shipping. LOL nah I wouldn't do that to ya. Besides you probably can't play NTSC games. 
It is kind cool, It's one of those games that uses both analog sticks to move around.
Well that's no good. Anonymous isn't a good look for you. I have a remember me thing going. Isn't there a password reset option or something just in case. Stupid question time: Is your Caps Lock on?
Yep, random silliness is A-OK. Welcome to the neighbourhood.
I actually liked the Sphere Grid but I can appreciate why you don't like these things Joe.
I don't like random battles much but as long as they aren't every 5 seconds I can handle it.
I like grinding because in my case it helps me finish the game. I like being able to get past a previously nasty boss by levelling up so they drop like a stone.
The draw for me in RPGs is being able to poke around and find secrets and hidden stuff. I like to explore and I love puzzles.
The reason I don't do well at many other games is because if I can't beat a boss I will just stop playing after 3 or 4 failures.
That happens in some RPGs too. I ran into that in Nier. Fighting the boss in the junk heap has 3 sections to it and seemed to go on forever.
I can make it to the last part just fine but then I have to pick up bombs and throw them back at the boss and I just die over and over. There's no way to strategically beat that section and no amount of grinding will help. I'm uncoordinated and there the story ends. LOL
If you can find one for $5 at Gamestop just go for it. Thing is you will never find one in great condition for that price. Most Gamestops/EB Games don't even take PS2 games on trade anymore.
If GS is selling for $5 then you can bet they only gave the poor sap 50 cents for it in trade and anybody stupid enough to take chump change for their games is not likely to have taken care of them.
As an IT professional I've always said that the best "downtime" or maintenance window is the one that no one notices.
Didn't feel a thing so good work.
