BACKWARDS_COWBOY'S PROFILE

I don't think I've ever played a multi-player game where a Tag-type game mode worked the way the developers intended. It usually ended one of a few ways:

1. The player who starts as "it" remains it the entire round, since all characters moved at the same speed, so they could never catch anybody unless their target made a serious movement mistake.

2. Players who had been playing the game for a significant amount of time knew of glitches or collision issues that would allow them to either hide or avoid the person who was "it", or always be able to catch other players if they were "it".

It works if the person who is "it" can tag people from a short distance with a weapon or something (like a Hunter/Hunted game mode), but physical contact was almost impossible to perform.

Other than that one mode, the others sound like they could work if done properly and with extensive testing.

Several months ago, I remember seeing a tutorial of sorts that explained how to do some interesting things in RMVX Ace, among them creating skills that would deal damage based on whether or not an enemy was already inflicted with a status condition, whether they had been hit by a different skill, etc. all from the damage formula box without any other scripting. Either the tutorial was on here or the link to it was on here, and after about two hours of searching through old topics, I can't seem to find it. Does anybody know where it went or which site it was on? I had it bookmarked, but my computer crashed some time ago and I lost all my bookmarks and saved pages in my browsers.

At the U.S. Nintendo Direct on Jan. 14th, this little beauty was announced:



It's a new Fire Emblem title for the 3DS, brought about by the overwhelming and unexpected success of Awakening a couple years ago. While Awakening was scheduled to be the end of the series for the foreseeable future, the amount of money that Nintendo made and the renewed interest among the English-speaking fanbase has resulted in a new game. The biggest change visible in the trailer?

The game is now styled after Feudal Japan. Not Europe like in every other title. You now have samurai, mounted warriors wielding naginatas, and demons as well as monsters based on Eastern legends instead of western. Also, belly dancers that cast magic.

The game is already named in Japan as "Fire Emblem If", and according to some gaming websites, "Features a world that is much more largely impacted by choices made in the game", hence the title. It also features "The biggest challenges in a Fire Emblem game to date". I'm looking forward to this one, especially since the character models now have feet, load times for battle scenes have been reduced, and other enemies are visible in the background during battle scenes, so it's no longer a duel on a vast empty field.

And don't worry Europe and Australia, it's probably coming to you too.

Football In Occupied Poland is a German rock band that focuses on themes such as oppression and rebellion, drawing from Germany's occupation of various European nations during WWII. They specialize in heavy anthems that sound right at home in crowded open-air venues.

Their first single, Stigmella Glutinosae, is an instrumental piece inspired by the lifespan and development of the moth by the same name. The moth larvae burrow down into a host leaf much like the German army burrowed into foreign towns, and two generations of the moth are born every year, which the band felt symbolized the two or three generations that have been born since the end of the war.

To tell you the truth, I'm probably going to trade in my Gen 6 games on something else next time I venture to EB Games.

I'm doing the same once something big comes along that I want. Either the next big Zelda title or some kind of big RPG.

At this point I'm pretty sure OR/AS is just an expansion to X&Y. It just adds more Mega Evolutions and allows you to catch old legendary Pokemon while re-introducing contests.
