The Mask of Norro

As long as I'm our infiltrator everything's cool by me (Y)

Drat, I had all that glorious bid money and now it's gone Well if no-one else wants it I'll give it to Ruki (he asked first after-all!), provided of course my N7 Edition from Best Buy that they told me didn't have the DLC does in fact have the DLC.

$6 is a tough one to beat Ruki. You still want to bid against Summers or has he won this war?

$5.01 I hear $5.01, $5.01 from the large Canadian gentleman in the back row. $5.01 does anyone bid $5.02? $5.02 people $5.02

Hell I'll see about grabbing some gold for myself if it's for ME3's multiplayer. I have yet to touch it so I'll be the newbie of the group but it's mainly because I just want to wait until it comes out, honestly. I don't know how often I'll partake though since I'm gonna be sucked into the single-player, but I'm definitely down to play some multiplayer from time to time. Will give my XBOX Live ID when I can remember what it is As an aside: Tempting. Could use the spare bucks. Unless someone somehow gives a better offer I think I may have to take you up on it (sorry Ruki )

I must be the only one here who just couldn't get into Red Dead. I honestly don't know why, the concept was appealing and everything, but the gameplay wasn't my cup of tea. I'll have to give it another try down the road because I want to like it, but it just... it felt too clunky to me. The story didn't catch my interest either though, to be fair, I'm sure had I held out longer with the game it'd probably pick up for me, but yeah. Just couldn't get into it because of the gameplay.

So far I've had three decision victories, one submission victory and the rest have all been stoppages. No flash KOs yet though-- through loss or victory. Next fight is against Stefan 'Skyscraper' Struve. Fucking three inch reach advantage... I'm going to see if I can just leg kick him all match, because I have a feeling that even though my GnP is superior, once we go to the ground the fucker's just gonna spam submissions on me

I'm getting it from Best Buy and they pretty much told me it didn't come with anything but the N7 Additional stuff. I'm not too fussed, it was only $10 after-all. If I pick up my N7 Edition and it comes with it then I'm cool with that, I'll just give it to someone on here that wants it. It's the 360 version code that I'll be getting so yeah, I'll let you guys know and anyone who wants it just ask. Maybe I'll pick a name out of a hat or something

If Benji can have MaleShep I'll take FemShep. No-one's taken FemShep yet, right? Picking up my collector's edition on Tuesday and I've got my 'From Ashes' DLC code waiting to come in on launch day as well. Can't wait, this is going to be one hell of a month!

Dear Lord yes, this should be fantastic. I've been wondering for the longest time where they'd go next in history, but this should be an interesting time period. Was especially curious about more 'recent' time periods being involved anyway ever since I read that comic Penny Arcade did for... I think it was Brotherhood? The one set in Russia just before WWII I believe. I liked the idea behind it a lot. Now I just have to hope there'll be a bloody Collector's Edition that makes it to the states. I'm still trying to figure out how the hell I'll afford to import an Animus Edition for Revelations and the game's been out since November. I got the collector's for all the ones before, why can't I for the last one?

Best. Sound mod. Ever.

FMA Brotherhood. Though I'm slightly appalled you've not seen Trigun yet.

Novel was the best of the three for BR for me. Absolutely loved the characters in the novel more than either the manga or the movie. Movie didn't feel like it truly developed much on anyone (although I still loved it to death), and the manga was great but as has been said towards the end there it really flew off the handle. Spoilers in case somehow anyone here hasn't read the story yet, but... Anyway, never read Hunger Games but damn does the trailer have me interested. I would still pay good money to see an American Battle Royale-- though I'm not entirely certain how they'd pull it off-- but if Hunger Games does as well and is as good as it's being hyped to be, I can see it being on the horizon too.

Why is that anyway, with the UFC Career Mode? I appreciate giving me the option to fight in two weight ranges, but if I want to make this massive hulking giant of an axe-murderer who's like 6'7" I'm not going to be happy when I see his weight set to 210 after I set it to damn near 300. 6'7", 210lbs is a fucking twig is what it is. Granted my heavyweight was supposed to be 6'4" 240, but the point still remains: you set it to the tallest height, and the fattest figure, and the dude's still gonna come out cutting just around 210. It's insanity. Anyway, had to return the game yesterday and I miss it already. Such a great game, can't wait to buy it. The only thing I'd say about Career Mode is that while I do love how streamlined it all is and how fluid the training feels compared to last time (much less of a grind-it-out mentality to all of it), I kind-of miss the story aspect to the career modes in the past. My favorite part about finishing my fighter's story in the last game was watching him build his own gym to train new guys in, it was a nice touch. Still, it's not a huge thing, and they definitely improved everything else in the right areas for me this go-round.

So you missed how they use "retro" graphics as an excuse for being lazy, stealing game mods from lone programmers and incorporating them into the real game with no credit, released an unfinished game to market, and pointed out how much of an extreme cunt Notch is?

Fullmetal Alchemist wasn't my cup of tea either, LUKIE, but I assure you Brotherhood was leagues beyond what was set be FA's original run (in my opinion anyway). Story is so much better, character development is there in all the right areas... I dunno, I enjoyed it so much more to be honest. It's worth at the very least giving it a shot if you haven't before.

Hrm. Found an annoying bug in career mode. In the WFA right now training for my 6th fight and every time I try to do the transition drill training I get about halfway through and the screen doesn't return from black, all I hear is background noise and the game is effectively frozen there. Forces me to restart my whole system, I've replicated this quite a few times now. This happened to me once when trying the exact same drill training in a previous match so I don't know what it is about the transition drill training, but it just won't let me get through it. Anyone else experience this issue? I'm thinking it might just be the copy I'm borrowing. Hoping that when I buy this the problem isn't still persisting.

So Lorina and I just started watching Mirai Nikki today and holy fuckdamn it's incredible so far. We're probably going to cap off the day on Episode 10 by tonight, not certain yet. Right now we just left off on Episode 5, the character development in this is fantastic. We'll definitely be following this one. No doubt about that. Also, Ruki: you're only just watching Brotherhood? You're in for one hell of a ride. Quite possibly my favorite anime, it actually has more appeal to me than Gurren Lagann which, well, that conflicts me to say the least

Yes, and it works with saving to the cloud so theoretically you could be playing the game on your PS3, save it to the cloud, and pick up where you left off on the road with the Vita. ... I want one is what I'm saying here, basically

Anyone else picking this up on the PS3? It's lonely over here Have the option of picking it up for either console but damn it, I prefer the PS3

Fought my first dragon this morning, that was a hell of a rush. Right near the start of the game when the dragon goes and takes out the Watchtower outside, like, the first major city you come across (forgetting the name at the moment). Everyone flips shit when it appears and I come running out of the tower from my conversation with one of the survivors to see it just rush by overhead. Got out my firebow and got a few shots off at it, my allies were wailing away at it when it landed and after a couple of minutes I found myself in the perfect position to get behind the dragon and absolutely wreck its shit with my Great Frost-Sword from the overlord of the zombie things. I'm slowly falling in love with this game. The fighting mechanics are smooth, taking on monsters is a rush, and I'm loving the raw number of options I have in this game to do what I please-- absolutely immense.

Less than a month away... I can't wait. I've been waiting for this game since the moment the credits rolled on ME2 for me early last year. Can't believe it took me so long back then to get into this series, but damn it, I fell face-first into it when I started. I have full intention of buying the N7 edition. I would prefer to get it at GameStop since, you know, discount, but back after I left the company for awhile I put my preorder in at Best Buy. They damn sure had better still have it in their system... planning on finding out some time this week. Between this, Skyrim's collectors and attempting to import the Animus Edition of AC: Revelations, Norro is pumping out far too much on games and damn it, I'm loving all of it
