10 hit combos in Tekken, super long preset combo chains from MK3 onwards, Arcana Heart - Critical Heart, etc. memorizing them all takes way too much effort and just feels annoying. Combos that flow like in MvC , GG, and BB because of reflexes, reaction speed and creativity feel good to pull off, but the long-preset ones are annoying. Especially 10 ( Read more... )

Japanese fan bashes Dragon Age 2 localization.

How can he proclaim that the Dragon Age 2 localization is childish if he hasn't compared it with the original script(maybe he has, but I doubt it). Maybe the original English script was childish to begin with -- From the tone of his criticism, it sounds like he hasn't even considered that possibility.

How the hell do I escape from a musou attack? On higher difficulty levels against tough enemies, once the first hit lands, I'm pretty much dead. And if I'm playing online, me dying means my partner loses too. We get 0 exp. Not very user-friendly... If I die because of poor skill, that's one thing, but unblockable musou that the enemy can activate ( Read more... )

This song from Bastion won best song used in a game 2011 at Spike TV Game Awards.

If 2 friends in their homes can pull off something like this, what is the point of bigger companies hiring entire philharmonics for their game soundtracks? Often times, all that money just goes to waste. Same with To The Moon, incredible music done by just one man. 

I've used these dictionaries long enough to give my opinion, and now that I've passed Kanken Lv. 2, my opinion counts ( Read more... )

F*cking hate cleaning the toilet. It's the most detestable, most difficult thing I've had to do since coming to Japan. The principal and superintendent would laugh every time they asked me if I had trouble with anything and I responded cleaning, but I was never kidding around...

People tell me I should get a girlfriend/wife to clean for me... So I'm ( Read more... )

Everyone one of their games is worth playing. I highly recommend checking them out. To The Moon is the only one not free, but it's good enough to "buy". Perhaps the best stories made using RPGMaker. Quintessence reminded me of Legend of Heroes. To The Moon won game with best story of the year at Gamespot, amazing for an indie game. You'll be ( Read more... )

Final Fantasy Mythology

Been teaching Greek myth in Global Studies class. Was looking for pics of Apollo vs Python and stumbled upon this.

The usual 5th and 6th period may not be enough time, I'll have to cut into their lunch time and start class 20 minutes early. Reason: I'm still working on it, but 195 slides at the moment. Will probably surpass ( Read more... )

Roaches in Fallout are f****** disgusting. Enough reason for me to boycott the franchise. Way too much detail, it's like looking at an oversized roach 2 inches in front of you. WTF? They were nasty enough in Breath of Fire 3.
