Why now..

Well I always thought the Playstation 3 was a reliable piece of hardware, I mean I keep it in a well ventilated area, always make sure it's clean and dust free but no, I suddenly try to play The Orange Box a couple of days ago and I get a.."Error 80010514" I even called up the Sony help line and they kept asking me really stupid questions like "Did you hit the Playstation 3 with a hammer?" and kept going on about how reliable and proud they are with their system, got kind of annoying after a while.

Anyways I have Grand Theft Auto IV on pre-order and this sh!t happens so it has to be sent away for a MONTH!!! so I cant even play the game Ive been waiting for since it's announcement.

Edit - To elaborate more on "Error 80010514" It's an error with the Blue Ray drive or whatever and what it does is it doesn't read Blue Ray discs anymore, which is the only thing I want it to do just a few days away from Grand Theft Auto IV!

Man Stuck in Elevator for 41 hours!

Security Footage!

That's pretty sad though, I don't know what I'd do aye, probably have a smoke(Since he just took a cigarette break) and try to get the fire alarm to go off. If only Ipods or something were invented then haha.(Yes my names Dausaua on YouTube)

Card Sagas Wars!



Ladies and gentlemen, I have caught wind of something that I think fans everywhere will be interested in. I'm not entirely sure of the details (because I can't read Spanish), but there is a fighting game currently in development featuring a truly VAST array of characters, including Alex from Rpgmaker!? The name of the game is Card Sagas Wars, and they're already far enough along in development to have a trailer with actual in-game footage. The spirte art for this game is absolutely beautiful, I wish I could sprite like that haha.

Card Sagas Wars Official Website!
Card Sagas Wars Trailer!

These are the characters I want to play as the most, and does anyone know if MUGEN works on the PSP because it would amazing to play this on the PSP.



Game Names?

Ive been thinking about this for awhile now, but just cant think of anything, so I'll ask you guys. If you had to name a commercial game based on it's story and gameplay, what would it be, like a Final Fantasy for example, or Dragon Quest maybe?

I was thinking of what I would have named a Final Fantasy game, Final Fantasy VIII I would probably name... Seeds or something.

Astonishia Story 2 Fate to Unhorse One



No Information has been released about the story in English so far, but once it is I'll update this post with it.(I checked but just can't seem to find any!?)

Astonishia Story was an old game made for the PC WAY back, and has been recently ported to the PSP, it had cute Rm2k3 style graphics and an alright battle system. It has been somewhat neglected as one of the PSP rpgs to try out, but I would say it's worth a look haha. This game seems to have been made specifically for the PSP though and from that trailer and the screenshots, it's shaping up pretty good.

Trailer - Looks great, a definite watch!

Release Date - 2008







Lost Odyssey.



Lost Odyssey, featuring breathtaking visuals and an epic adventure, is the story of Kaim, an immortal character who has lived more than 1,000 years and doesn't remember his past and doesn't know where his future lies. Throughout Kaim's journey, a handful of characters will join him on an odyssey to discover their intricate past and destiny, leading players through a dramatic story of massive scale.

Features:

*Innovative RPG gameplay features. Lost Odyssey blends massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) elements into the game's traditional RPG system, enabling players to make strategic decisions for a more immersive and deep gameplay experience.

*Engaging and unparalleled emotional story. With story sequences penned by award-winning Japanese novelist Kiyoshi Shigematsu in cooperation with producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, Lost Odyssey sets a new benchmark for the RPG genre with a combination of true-to-life cinematics and the story of an immortal man who has been suffering in many ways for 1,000 years. Players will witness Kaim's life as he lives through many generations, becomes part of numerous families, falls in and out of love, and confronts all of the conflicts that arise. Kaim's struggles are set in a world that is on the verge of a "mystical industrial revolution," where mankind has attained dark powers.

*Massive scope and engrossing environments. The massively scoped worlds, memorable characters and epic story line of Lost Odyssey play out like an intense and unsettling blockbuster action film.

*Heading up the artistic demands of the title is famed Japanese comic artist Takehiko Inoue; renowned composer Nobuo Uematsu has been recruited to create a contemporary soundtrack.

*Realistic graphics in next-generation gaming. Powered by Unreal Engine 3 technology, Lost Odyssey boasts stunning visual fidelity and rendering quality. The Unreal Engine 3 technology pushes high-definition visual designs to a higher level and brings out the smallest details in the largest battles. Gamers will experience a rich dynamic world with an unprecedented level of detail. Users can experience the true-to-life gameplay and facial expressions of emotionally distressed characters in the world of Lost Odyssey.

Now, for my translation of the info from watch.impress. Keep in mind this is babelfished, and then reworded for sense by me, or otherwise just rewritten using all the information available.

“RPG Tsukuru/Maker VX”

Requiring NO PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE, this up-to-date instalment of the RPG creation software “RPG Maker” series is a tool like no other for creating original RPGs.

Similar to former RPG Maker titles, you lay out ‘tiles' from the tileset, creating a map, you can create the protagonists, the monsters, OTHERWORLDLY CREATURES, items and magic, etc. Then you just use the event editor and you have created an RPG!

In addition, included with RMVX is artwork/battlers, map tile/chipsets, and sprite sheets for characters; also included is BGM and SFX to add ambience to your RPG. By using the included RTP, you do not have to worry if you can't draw the art yourself, you can get straight into production of your game!

As for compatible graphic formats: PNG files as default (in 32 bit colour), as well as JPGs .

Compatible sound files include: MIDI, OggVorbis, WMA, MP3 and the WAV file. However, MIDIs can only be used as Back Ground Music and Music Effects.

And as for the game which you designed, which can even be played on the PC of other people, the “compress game data” function which can be done through Internet , or can be mounted onto CD-R, DVD, etc. Transfer and Transmit! It is permitted to sell your game as shareware.

With this most up to date version, you can find many former aspects utilised in previous titles, and some new ones, whilst kept in a simple UI than even a new user can understand. In addition, many features have been improved or reworked, including:



Features.

Auto-tiles Functionality
The auto-tiles, which form their shape automatically, are now far more effective, with more possibilities. There are also many, many more auto-tiles included in the RTP than ever before. Even a beginner can achieve a natural looking map..

Face Graphics
Formerly, with RMXP to have face graphics, you had to use custom scripts. This time, however, in a similar way to RM2k3, face graphic implementation is included in the event editor

Brand New RTP

In addition to the new face graphics, all the map, character and monster graphics are brand new!


Font Modification
You can easily change the font of the status menu, and message windows easily in the "Ume font" Modifier.

Dash/Run Button

During game play, pressing shift makes the protagonist run.

Increased Frame rate
Whilst RMXP ran at 30 Frames Per Second, in VX we have upped this to 60FPS, meaning animations and movement look far smoother.

Options
With the previous title, you required scripting to have an in-game options menu, now it's fully integrated from the start!

'For beginners' function
For the beginners, there is now a function that helps create character movement, treasure chests, and doors, . The miscellaneous "Simple Event Edit" can create events such as the inn at buttons 1, size . Simply by selecting a wall and a floor, the “John Don (maze)” a dungeon or room can be created easily.

Pulp Sport.

Pulp Sport.

Pulp Sport is a low budget TV show filmed in New Zealand, that mixes sport with awesome comedy. The hosts Jamie Linehan and Ben Boyce act under their respective pseudonyms Bill and Ben, performing a half hour of various sports based skits.

crap that happens in the Show.

* The Great Tui Sneak - a segment where Bill and Ben try to sneak Tui beer into a sports game (where there is an enforced alcohol ban), usually cricket or rugby. Different ways include - carrying it in an IV drip, a coffin, a remote control car, a wrapped birthday present, getting Schapelle Corby to do it and a fiberglass cow. Bill and Ben have achieved surprising success. For some highlights check out this page on the Beige Brigade website.

* Can a Mascot? - Can the Pulp Sport Mascot (a person in a big brown furry fox suit) complete a challenge like sneaking into a game for free or sneaking on to another TV show, or my favorite, get revenge.

* The Mad Mad Butcher - Series of stunts based around New Zealand Celebrity business man The Mad Butcher. The Pulp Sport Mad Mad Butcher attempts each week to prove to viewers that he is mad by doing crazy, sometimes bizarre stunts like jumping off a building, woodchipping himself and soiling a taxi.

* Sporting Hell - The boys flip a coin and the winner of the coin toss gets to eat Hell's pizza, while the loser has to do endure sporting hell. eg. doing a fun-run as bum-run i.e. dressed like a bum, smoking and drinking, sitting sideline at big rugby match with a paper bag over their heads, going to the motor racing dressed as a promo chick with a skimpy crop top saying "want a gay time?" while giving out "gay time" brand ice cream cones or standing outside Western Springs Speedway with a sign saying "THIS SPEEDWAY IS TOO NOISY!"

* Father v Son - These skits (usually in black and white) involve a young boy playing different sports against his highly competitive father who wants to beat his son by any means necessary (including violence and cheating).

* Celebrity Challenge - Each week some of New Zealand's biggest celebrities are paired up with some of New Zealand's biggest sports stars to partake in ridiculous challenges based around the person's chosen sport.

* Man-love Moments - A montage of clips from recent sports events showing men congratulating each other by embracing, slapping each other on the buttocks or lying on one another after completing a tackle. Set to provocative music such as Barry White or Marvin Gaye.
* Super-Streaker - A weekly clip of an unknown man streaking at innapropriate events such as a lawn bowls game or a round of golf.

* Halfass - A spoof of Jackass where Bill, Ben and friends attempt extremely lame stunts in the style of Jackass. Things like drinking day old milk, walking with untied laces, eating and then swimming, standing on an office chair and running with scissors have all been done!

* Mc Kay-Ver - This skit replaced McIvor when Pulp Sport moved to TV3 from Sky. Every week Bill and Ben play pranks on TV3 sports reporter Hamish McKay. Stunts like filling his car full of packing peanuts, tinfoiling every item on his desk, covering his car in post-it notes and replacing his car with a similar one that's been flattened have all been shown. To his credit, McKay takes these in good humour unlike his predecessor. Altough it was notioned that this segment would be replaced in a upcoming season by "the Real Campbell Live" they instead continue this segment throught the new season.

* The Grinch Who Stole Sport - This skit is a take of on "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas". Every week someone in a "Grinch Suit" steals a sports item in the middle of a sport game being played, such as a rugby ball.

Guardia


"Everyone is at war with something, I'm at war with my own heart"

19 Year's Earlier..

One Fateful night, the kingdom to the far West known as Guardia A Vast kingdom with power and technology unknown to the rest of the world, comes under attack. The attack was carefully executed and planned and started at noon, by nightfall the Kingdom of Guardia was layed in ruins, with no survivors accounted for, No one knows what happened that night except for the few that made it out.

Present Day..

It has been almost 2 decades since the fall of Guardia, overtime people have forgotten and all evidence of the kingdom has now vanished, no books, scriptures, nothing. The world of Glyphia has become a peaceful place to live, it has been a long time since Glyphia has know such peace, but now it looks like someone is trying to dig up the past and some things will open up, things that should never have been awakened.

Our Story Starts off with Trei Dausaua as he embarks on his first test on becoming a member of the famed Crusaders Guild...

Trei's never really thought about or felt anything for his father because you couldn't feel anything for a stranger. Trei has always accomplished anything he set out to do, and let nothing stop him from doing what he had to do. Although he wanted to stay and look after his mother in Falina, Gabriel knew he was destined for better things, so Trei set off on an adventure, to hone his skills and see the world.

Everything was going fine, then the Crusaders started to crackdown on The Tuis, which left everyone except for Anaru in jail. Anaru was trapped and didn't know what to do, even though he had some bad times in Clourana, he knew of no other place he could go, so he just ran, and kept running until a man bumped into him, "Why boy you look terrible?", "Who cares, and whats it to you anyway old man" said Anaru, "You want some food boy, you must be hungry" , "Well, yeah a bit.. You need a place to stay boy?" says the man, and the man took Anaru in and raised him on a farm, west of Clourana, and gave Anaru another chance at life.
