Venom

If this album ends up being half as good as people expect it to be, I'll be extremely happy. At this point though, there's been so much other stuff going on in music that waiting for the new Streetlight album has become incredibly tiresome.

Glad to see Magus get such a respectable spot, I was beginning to worry that he hadn't made the list at all.

I feel the same way - now that I've beaten Zelda, I have basically no use for the system, and my PS2 gets pretty much all of my gaming attention. At least I'm just loaning mine from a friend though, and I'll have given it up by the end of next month, at which time I'm going back to college where I can just freeload off of my housemates' games and systems.

I'm going to the one in NYC, ordered my tickets the second pre-sale was available. I've never been more excited for a show, seeing Rage alone is gonna be amazing, not to mention Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, and all the other acts. Nas and MF Doom aren't playing at the one I'm going to, though, and that kinda ticks me off.

I picked up a used copy of Rogue Galaxy yesterday for like 30 bucks, and I can already tell that I'm going to become completely engrossed in this game. Other than that, I played Tanarus, which is a freeware online first-person tank game. Anyone who's strapped for cash and is looking for some good online action, seek out this game, it's a great team game once you get the hang of the controls.

This could very well end up being the coolest thing ever for FF fans, depending on what characters are included. Kicking the shit out of Tidus as Auron? Having Kuja and Sephiroth beat the hell out of each other? Sign me up, please.

Haha, three replies within a minute. I think I'm gonna go ahead and defend what I like about FFXII's battle system... I love parts where I'm just roaming around a field, killing off weaker enemies to get to where I need to go, and off in the distance I see a huge enemy has spawned (maybe some kind of wyrm) and bolt towards him, swords a-swinging. To me, it adds a certain quality that I haven't seen in many games, as I haven't played any MMORPGs or other games which this battle system is based on. EDIT: I love the story, I love the characters, I grew to like the battle system, but I refuse to spend two hours levelling up just because I have to run from one room to another every sodding time.

I found myself hating the battle system early on, but later in the game I've found it to be a pleasure. My advice to someone who doesn't want to continue past Rogue Tomato: play for at least a few more days. What happened to me was that the story sucked me in so much that I didn't mind the battle system, and later on I grew to love even that. And as a side-note, fuck that huge final mark. Fuck him to hell.

Assuming you're looking for not-so-obscure tracks, "Rockaway Beach" by The Ramones is one that immediately comes to mind.

Here's hoping that a large enough number of people vote for Magus, I'd really love to see him with a respectable spot. Besides a few that I felt obligated to vote for due to name value, I found myself only able to vote for Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy characters (except for Magus).

I'm assuming Charlie couldn't have locked the door from the outside, which is why he had to do it from the inside, killing himself in the process.

1. Venom 2. Dr. Strange 3. Onslaught 4. Apocalypse 5. Wolverine 6. Spider-Man 7. Magneto 8. Galactus 9. Phoenix 10. Carnage Damn, that was even harder than I thought it'd be.

Ah sorry, I thought you were insinuating that that does definitely happen in the finale. My mistake.

Uhh... spoiler warning?

I'm also finding myself to be over-leveled for pretty much everything that has happened after Archades. Right now I'm just doing sidequests and whatnot, since I feel as though I'm practically at the end of the game.

When I'm playing songs on Expert and such (where "playing" is interchangeable with "surviving through"), I find it's best to wait until you're almost booed off the stage to use my star power as opposed to using it at the beginning of the tough part. That way you can do your best to survive through the beginning, and by the time you need to use star power, you're hopefully at least almost halfway through the solo, putting you in the clear for the rest of the song.

Seeing this thread bumped reminds me: is this game worth buying for the PS2? I know I won't be able to check out all the cool add-ons the 360 version has, but I've seen it used for under 20 bucks and can't decide whether or not to pick it up... it definitely seems like a really cool game that I'd be really into.

Damn, you guys made me get back into this game just as finals are about to start. My guys are currently at around level 30, and I think I'm somewhere near Archadian capital, trying to make my way to wherever I need to get to.

I've had mine for about a year and a half now, and I've never had any sort of problem with it.

We had more, but have since forgotten them. We just want some variation. Any help will be awesome.

The entire Jet discography.

Awesome news all around, especially GH3 coming to the PS2. Here's hoping they get "Over the Hills and Far Away" as the Zeppelin song, I was just thinking yesterday about how sweet that would be.
