I was just thinking that video games are awesome.

Art, Literature, Music, Theater, Cinema, etc. etc. - they each have their uses, and each one is better at making you feel something different, or are better suited to portray certain stories, but overall I find video games to be a great combination of these art forms.

Maybe I'm a little biased though :P

Trying to think which 250 GB Xbox 360 to buy after crimbo. For the same price I can either get:

A 'Normal' 250 GB Console with:
-1 Controller
-NFS Hot Pursuit
-Medal of Honour

or the 'Limited Edition' Halo Reach console with:
-2 controllers
-Headset
-Halo Reach
-Different design on the 360 itself.

Either way I'm going to buy a HD->VGA cable and maybe another cheap game on top of it to make it total £300.

i think the lesson here is get a new game idea. you have more than 30 games in the same series, and it's getting pretty fuckin' old.

i would be okay with there not being any more final fantasy-verse shit. it all went to hell after 6 anyway.
Personally, I think they should stop focusing on the spinoff titles and devote their attention to the main series. Stop creating so many spinoff titles that don't mean a damn thing except another buck in your pocket.

Square-Enix has so many video game properties that are not getting any attention. While I love Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Kingdom Hearts, fucking make something else for a change. Give Mana, Chrono, and SaGa a chance. Or make a new IP that is actually worth a damn. The Last Remnant was buggy as hell, while Nier wasn't as great as it could've been. The only SE games worth anything nowadays, IMO, are on the DS. I prefer playing Matrix Software's remakes than most of SE's new efforts on the consoles, and that is saying something (no offense to Matrix, who own).

TLR on PC was good fun.
Unfortunately, the game was a mess on the 360. My PC would probably explode before I pop TLR in. :\

They totally renovated it. Basically everything except the story itself was fundamentally changed.
Did they? Because I bought TLR for the 360 and I'm so infuriated with it I'm pretty much going to pirate it for the PC and not feel the slightest bad about it.

Yes. Like, it's a really good PC game.

<Craze> Hey, hey you
<Craze> Are you finished?
<Craze> Yeah, you.
<Craze> I'm talking to you.
<Craze> About the masturbation.
<Craze> You're really gross, you know that? I know you do it most nights.
<Craze> In fact, I've told some CAs* and my friends about it.
<Craze> That cover-up scent you use on your jacket - not that I want to know what's on your jacket - is gross.
<Craze> There's this nice lady down in the student center named Bonnie Brackett. She can find you a new room for next semester.
*Roommate says nothing

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF HE HEARD ME. I used my stern voice and everything. :<

Bonehead11, I dislike that comment.

Roommate
I apologize, last night you asked if I could hear you, and I could. I heard you like the voice of God in the night. And for that I thank you, I only wish you had confronted me earlier, but I would think that it was as hard for you to say as it was for me to hear. I only hope I can convey to you how deeply troubled my conscience has been since, I am sincerely sorry I put you through this. I have never felt so ashamed of myself in my life, and I completely understand your desire to switch roommates, and I intend to leave the dorm anyways. I'm sorry, I don't know what else to say.

nier is cavia's IP
So, SE only published it? I know Cavia developed it. I didn't know they actually owned the IP, though.

@Chaos: Only the original Tactics, please. FFT: Advance and A2 were just okay.

as far as i know, cavia (or i guess AQ Interactive now) owns the IP

i should get around to finishing Nier soon

re: FFT, i liked A2 a lot, wasn't a big fan of Advance though
