I Hate These Internet Forums...
post=94448
Put more elegantly, you have a tendency to over-dramatize things. This IS only the internet, after all...not life and death.
Well, there are cases where people have been harassed online to the point where they eventually kill themselves. I know that I said above that people should approach the internet with a relatively thick skin, but at the same time, people on the internet could stand to be a little nicer!
[Resource] Electronic BGM
Hahah . . . I like it. It's so boisterous.
It sounds really really 90s though! Your bass line has lots of reverb on it. If it were punchier, it would sound more modern. But . . . whatever. That might have been your intent? Anyway it is rad as hell. It puts a big smile on my face!

Let's Play: OBLIVION
Let's Play: OBLIVION
I have this thing with Oblivion where I don't like mods, because they alter the original intent of the designers of the game. However, I don't like vanilla Oblivion because it's designers were not very good at their jobs. It's so brilliant in just about every way except for game balance. While mods fix it, they also change the game. So like . . . I am never able to enjoy the game. I feel like I have either ruined the purity of the game and that I need to disable mods, or that the pure game is not quite perfect and needs to be adjusted.
Romancing SaGa (and the SaGa series!)
post=93634post=92022I think these games are a lot more fun if you stop obsessing over invisible mechanics like Event Rank . . . it's not supposed to be something you know about. Trying to get all the quests in this game sort of sabotages the goal that each playthrough is relatively short and that you randomly stumble on different events each time.
Romancing Saga is one of my very favorite PS2 games. I don't even play video games much anymore but I can always come back to Romancing Saga. So far I have completed the game three times - Gray, Aisha and Hawke. Working with Albert and getting close to the end (My ER has to be about 18 or 19).
Inglourious Basterds.
Isn't this the most expensive movie ever? I've been reading that Hollywood is in trouble financially, and not really because of ticket sales being down (they are slightly down, but not catastrophically), but because actors like Brad Pitt cost tens of millions of dollars these days and post-production is more expensive than ever. I'm sure I'll see it and I'll enjoy it a lot, because I like Tarantino's gimmicky exploitation movies.
The "golden" era of PS1 console RPGs?
I think that there was a lot of experimentation in the RPGs coming from Japan at this time that was pretty interesting. A lot of Squaresoft's games in particular had pretty big budgets, but felt like they had a lot of creativity and freedom poured into them. And, actually, there weren't that many sequels, which is pretty cool!
I think there's some nostalgia coloring your view, but at the same time, I do think it was a genuinely more interesting time to be interested in RPGs. All of the different sub-genres we see now were established during that time, and it was pretty exciting to be part of it.
However, I think it might only seem that way because we were suddenly get a lot of localized products? For example, Front Mission 1 and 2 had been on Super Nintendo, but when we got Front Mission 3, a strategy-RPG with giant robots was pretty original!
I feel like Legend of Legaia 2 was one of the first truly really uninspired, generic jRPGs that was almost like contemptuous of its audience (see: Star Ocean 4). But I guess I wasn't sick of that stuff at the time and I liked it a lot too.

I have a karate obsessed brother (or he was at the time) and it was always funny watching him trying to copy the moves that the characters did. That upped the enjoyment factor a lot. LoL 2 was better, if only because it had tonnes of sidequests... and I'm a sucker for sidequests. ^.^

What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Yakuza 2! It's too bad all you guys missed out on it. It's pretty cool.
Also, Shadow Complex. But Orson Scott Card is a bigot and . . . I don't know. Maybe I am just thinking what video game podcasts are telling me to think . . . . . . . .

Mace: The Dark Age

Tobal No 1 is the best obscure fighting game, and best fighting game in general.
Yeah I thought it was actually pretty good. The grapple-based and "heavy"-feeling combat were pretty cool, and really unlike any other fighters at the time (Street Fighter 3??).
