Lostpedia seem to think there's a Lost ARG going on on Twitter, which started with @simeonhobbes who wanted followers to also "Follow The Phoenix", which is @epithetalpha. Not sure if it is an ARG, or where it's going if it is, but it's something to keep people occupied during the hiatus if so.

Nay to FFXI, very boring.

I've been a member of SOLDIER, 1st Class slowly approaching my death. (FFVII - Crisis Core)

If you didn't do a few things in Kingdom Hearts, that is the end. If you have completed the Hades Cup together, found all 99 Dalmatians, and sealed every Keyhole, including 100 Acre Wood, then you see Another side, another story. secret ending, to set up the next game, so just watch it

A choice between Elizabeth Mitchell & Evangine Lily, I'd always choose Elizabeth Mitchell.

Watched a few sneak peeks and stuff now. Stuff about that in the spoiler as well as a death theory/hope.

Also, a bigger spoiler.

In D/P/Pt he's at the Valor Hotel bit, south of Veilstone City. He's in a house by himself on the left hand side of houses I think.

So, remember that guy in Celadon City (?) in R/B/Y that was in the big building and said come back to him when you've filled the PokeDex? Yeah, what does he ever do? I've never completed the game to that standard.

In R/B/Y, he gives you an in-game certificate (not an item, just an on-screen certificate) for completing the 'dex. There's been a guy like that in each game since, and now there's varying certificates for completing that region's 'dex and then the national 'dex (all of them).

Awesome news, it's been a long time coming.

Thought I'd bump this thread, and update what I'm playing.

Pokémon Platinum - Just beat the Veilstone Gym. It's becoming a pain to level up for me at the moment, especially raising an Onix which everything seems to kill. Just trying to get to the Battle Frontier really.

Kingdom Hearts II - Almost finished up 100 Acre Wood & Atlantica, which clears up the sections I dislike. I think I've got the second run of Agrabah to get started on, and then Pride Lands & Hollow Bastion, then I think there's just the final world to do.

Proud Mode is getting aggravating at times, so I'm trying to stay a level or two above the Battle Level.

Final Fantasy XII - Okay, so a couple of months ago I was lost in the Garasmythe Waterway with Balthier & Fran, but it turns out after this restart that I wasn't really lost. I was standing right outside the gate I needed to go through.

The Firemane was a bit of a pain, but I'm progressing nicely with the story.

I couldn't help but think though. Kingdom Hearts II's tutorial intro is awfully similar to Final Fantasy XII.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Loaded up one of my old files and am just clearing missions at the moment. I really need to pardon some of my troops, so that they don't start getting sent to jail, but don't really have any good backup troops from my regular six.

Fine, so Final Fantasy XII is being kind of enjoyable at the moment. Just about to leave Nalbina Dungeons.

Favourite first boss: Guard Scorpion from VII

Favourite optional boss: Emerald Weapon from VII

Favourite summon(s): Tonberry (Crisis Core), Doomtrain (VIII), Yojimbo (X)

How come The Variable is supposibly episode 100, yet there's only meant to be 108 altogether. Given there's an episode next week, we're not going to have a shitty 7 week season are we? Cos fuck that.

This episode was certainly the 100th hour of Lost, but the 96th episode of Lost (not counting how the finalés were split up differently on the DVDs), so by the time we get to the end of this season, we'll have had 103 hours of Lost, and 98 episodes.

Then next season is 17 episodes, so we'll have had 117/8 (assuming the season six finalé is two hours) hours of Lost and 115 episodes when it all wraps up.

I don't want to waste my TM's like that Hyper Beam is cheap as!

You can buy Hyper Beam, so it doesn't matter. Boltbeam is much better though as someone mentioned.

LightBike is pretty fun, and I got it for 59p. Space Deadbeef is a good shooter and free if I remember right. I'm also enjoying BrickBreak Revolution (essentially a more awesome Breakout) and you have to have JellyCar if you have an iPhone. Rainbow Ninja is good too for short bursts.

Does the clefairy section in the Game Arcade ever end?

Yeah, but once you've got it going it takes ages. Though if you get a good streak, talk to the woman at the counter and she'll hand over the TM for Explosion.

Been playing Kingdom Hearts II a lot in the last few days and I'm now just about to start in Agrabah. I've got to say though, fuck the pirates in Port Royal. I struggled against them on the normal mode, so now on proud mode they got me quite aggravated. Valor Form is now almost level 4, which means I have High Jump. Wisdom Form will be discarded again until I get to that place in The World That Never Was that has only Shadows & Neoshadows. I'm level 22, which is the recommended level, but I'll try and get to 25 before I leave Agrabah.

Concerning the finale and timelines

Also, some bad news. There's another break between 5x13 and 5x14. Only a week and there's a clip show on that week, but then it's the 100th episode for 5x14.

Let's skip all the podcast listens, because they're not actual music.

You might have noticed that I have what games I'm playing underneath my avatar and I try and update it regularly, so quick thoughts on each.

DS - Pokémon Platinum

Liking the new features so far. Training an Onix, which I've never used before, and a few more of my favourites this time around. Can't wait to get to Battle Park.

PSP - Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-

I'm on New Game Plus on this trying to finish off all the missions. I really do like the style of it. I'm hoping that Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep is similar in gameplay, as Nomura suggests it is. Retaining your level on New Game Plus seems a little ridicolous still.

PS2 - Kingdom Hearts II

Started Proud Mode on this to see if it was actually a challenge, and it is. I have the walkthrough for the game, and I'm trying to be at twice the level it suggests. Also hoping I can beat Sephiroth this time around, as he was a challenge to me last time, but I was hugely underleveled which I guess won't be the case this time. There's only three things I could do without in this game: Tutorial Twilight Town with Roxas (or maybe just the first three days), 100 Acre Wood (which you need to do to get Curaga) and Atlantica (which you need to do to get Thundaga).

GBA - Legend of Zelda : Minish Cap

Restarted this after remembering I sold Phantom Hourglass. Still quite a good game, but Spirit Tracks trailer has made me disregard it a little and want Phantom Hourglass back.

iPhone - Time Crisis Strike LITE

Yeah, just the Lite version, but this suits the iPhone really well. Tilting the screen to reload is a good control. Might get the full version soon.

Condemned 2 I got about fifteen minutes in when you're chasing some geezer through a TV store or something and you have to go downstairs with TVs crackling n stuff and yeah, the game did a number on me - the whole premise and everything and I was playing it alone at 2am and screw that. That went right off never to be played again (fortunately I'd just borrowed it from work).

Shit. Condemed 2. I played the demo of that and was constantly shitting myself. I prayed for death towards the end of that demo just to get me out of it.

Just got Platinum today, traded three eggs over from Pearl, can't remember what's in any of them. Have Onix (which I've never raised before) and a Turtwig as my Pokémon while waiting for things to hatch. Loved the changes so far, especially the GTS & WiFi Square.

Oh, adding Drifloon to my squad in about five minutes when it becomes Friday

So, it's still a couple of episodes away, but the press release for 5x12 keeps making me want it this week.

I'm sure I was meant to pay attention to GDC for something...Kingdom Hearts stuff? Maybe. I can't remember.

That OnLive thing looks interesting. Cost?

From Ausiello (concerning deaths):

I'm thinking

In the latest Lost magazine, Damon & Carlton did mention that after the break, the show will start to enter "answer mode". Oh, but in case anyone cares, you won't get any more Libby as they stated they consider her story done.
