2:00 PM

Every time I see "The Annoying Pyro" on Gaming, I'm reminded of a user named "The Annoying Piro" from a previous community I partook in

Ronan Forman

A parcel has arrived, excuse me for 4 hours.

Oh I need a motion+ Looks like I'm going shopping

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote MegaTokyo ref?

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes I wouldn't doubt it

FallenAngelEyes

I got really behind on that webcomic and haven't caught up. I do have the first 3 books though (the first is even the IronCat edition that doesn't exist anymore).

Ronan Forman

Aw crap, out of stock.

Q: Can you attack Time Eater as Classic Super Sonic?

It seems that I can only get close to and attack Time Eater as Modern Super Sonic. No matter how long I spend boosting as Classic Super Sonic, I can't catch up with Time Eater. I can dodge all of the boss's counter-attacks, but that doesn't get Classic Super Sonic any closer for a hit. Sonic's f...

Oh hey you actually showed up haha hey what do you know what a coincidence I didn't expect that but here you are hey how is it going?

Hey @Aeo!

Hey there :)

2:13 PM

I do have a bad poker face but it's made up for the fact that I have the luck to back up horrible hands.

No one likes to lose pair of aces or a matching AK against an unmatched 2-4

Wipqozn

@Aeo hello! Haven't seen you around these parts before.

@GraceNote Sorry for forcing you to lock that meta post last night. GNomeslice and I let things get way out of hand.

Aeo

Yes. I'm usually pretty bad about sticking around chats. Not being partcularly sociable and all, but figured I'd give it a try :P

Wipqozn

@Aeo Well you couldn't have picked a better chat. The Bridge is obviously the best chat on Stack Exchange.

Grace Note

@Aeo You're free to come and go as you please and as infrequently, as long as you enjoy your time with us whenever you're here on the Bridge ♪

Arda Xi

2:16 PM

@Aeo Most of us aren't particularly sociable.

user30

argh.

David B

nod, Bridge is the best

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn ~~on Stack Exchange~~ in the world?

Wipqozn

@TimStone I was going to say that, but I figured someone else would step in for me :P

FallenAngelEyes

@Aeo Hi! Welcome to the Bridge!

Aeo

2:18 PM

Wow... So welcoming! :P Thanks, all

FallenAngelEyes

@Aeo Ah, I've looked at your profile before. I remember your gravatar catching my eye, as I was curious as to who it was.

Grace Note

Oh, Dart

Never expanded the image until now

Aeo

@FallenAngelEyes Yes. What Grace said. lol

The Legend of Dragoon, if interested

Grace Note

From Legend of Dragoon, an old PSX RPG

FallenAngelEyes

@Aeo Oh! I own that game but have never finished it.

Grace Note

2:20 PM

You should finish it. If only to slog through the final boss.

FallenAngelEyes

it's in my (very very long) backlog

Wipqozn

@Aeo We're actually all terrible people, we just act welcoming to lure you into a false sense of security. Then once you let your guard down... BAM!

FallenAngelEyes

sitting next to Parasite Eve and XenoGears, on my PSX list

Wipqozn

@GraceNote NEver played that before, is on my to-play list though.

BoltClock

The only thing I ever play on my PSX anymore is Team Buddies. Has anyone even remotely heard of it?

Aeo

2:22 PM

@Wipqozn E-gads! Thanks for the warning. You horrible, horrible person, you...

Grace Note

@BoltClock Remotely, yes

Wipqozn

@BoltClock I have not.

FallenAngelEyes

I never owned a PSX, I only got to experience it vicariously through friends

Grace Note

I may have heard of it more but I'd need to delve into... THE ZONE

I went straight to PS2, so that handled all my PSX needs

FallenAngelEyes

Yeah, I have a PS2 fat still, from Xmas 2001

I think the next time I'm in the US, I'm going to buy a slim

as a backup for when this one eventually dies

Because I will cry if I can't play my PS2 collection anymore

Grace Note

2:23 PM

I don't remember what year I got mine. Mine is also fat. And works hard and awesome

FallenAngelEyes

I've been very, very careful with it throughout the years

It stopped reading blue discs once

BoltClock

Grace Note

Ah, that'o

FallenAngelEyes

so I looked up on the internet (on dialup) how to take it apart and clean the lens (Gaming.SE, where were you then!) and put it back together (I'd wanted to play through ICO again at the time)

I was so scared I was going to break it :(

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes I would've just gone to find a repair shop.

FallenAngelEyes

2:25 PM

But it lived \o/ And is currently working fine. I'm just scared of losing it. My PS2 collection is considerable, still larger than any of my current gen collections (not counting PC)

Grace Note

We had something wonky with our Star Ocean 3 disk, and we found lots of home remedies for it. We instead took it into a shop, and it fixed everything.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote There wasn't anywhere I knew I could take it to around my parents' place.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes No gaming shops you could ask? We actually called local GameStops until one told us of a good place nearby

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote The most local GameStop was a 45-minute drive away, in the mall. There weren't any gaming stores in my town at all.

Grace Note

Uf

Video Game Castle was quite a drive from us but it wasn't that long, I don't think

FallenAngelEyes

2:28 PM

Also, I honestly didn't really think to call them. I googled the problem on the internet, saw that it was fairly common and that there were fixes you could manage at home, so I figured I'd do it myself.

Yeah, a lot of my games from back then were merely purchased from Wal-Mart

And pretty much never new

I'd wait patiently a couple years until the price went down

Grace Note

...vgcastle.com is available

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote ...o rly

Grace Note

According to instantdomainsearch.com it is

It's the only permutation that is open at the moment, though

FallenAngelEyes

Buying games on release is a luxury I've only been able to afford in the past 2-3 years. It's still kinda weird to me.

Iiiiinteresting

Grace Note

I did mention in the past that Stack Exchange has a rich history of castles.

Aeo

2:34 PM

Wow...

That must have taken some time

Arda Xi

@GraceNote Wait... that site's affiliated with GoDaddy.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote That's awesome

Grace Note

@ArdaXi I don't know specifics of anything. It's the same tool we used back during our first domain name forays

Arda Xi

@GraceNote Well, if GoDaddy catches you searching for a domain name, they start looking into whether it's worthwhile to park it and ask an inflated price for it later.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Also, I'm having problems with kbd spacing on one of my answers, is that something that should be fixed, according to that first question?

Grace Note

2:36 PM

@FallenAngelEyes It depends on what you mean

FallenAngelEyes

gaming.stackexchange.com/q/34473/160

Grace Note

Oh, that's already been STATUS-DECLINED.

@ArdaXi Oooh, that's not good to hear

FallenAngelEyes

The <kbd> stuff overlaps the text underneath it

@GraceNote oh :(

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes Backticks

FallenAngelEyes

I attempted to put a line break between the bulleted items that had nested points, but it doesn't seem to take if there's something nested.

@GraceNote Thank you!

Ronan Forman

2:39 PM

I wish I had a video capture card, I'd love to do a let's play of this!

FallenAngelEyes

Which was also a problem I had in this answer

Tim Stone

@FallenAngelEyes Hmm, I'll check to see if that's expected...I would have thought it would always wrap the item as a paragraph.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes There's ways around it. I'll muscle summat up for that

Powerlord

So, I hear Anne McCaffrey passed away. :/

FallenAngelEyes

@TimStone No matter how many manual breaks I put in, it still won't post with any if it's between a doubly nested item and a following item that's one list "higher"

@Powerlord Yeah :(

@GraceNote Thanks!

user15026

2:42 PM

@Powerlord What? sad

Grace Note

Fixed all but one thus far.

Q: How can I spot vehicles when flying a jet?

For some reason I can't seem to be able to spot other vehicles when flying a jet. I've assigned the "spot / communications" key to a joystick button, keep flying directly at vehicles and hit that button, but nothing happens. If I keep the button pressed, I see the com menu, so it must be assigned...

pc battlefield-3

Grace Note

And... out of grace window

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote I don't think I'm parsing this sentence properly at all

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes There's a 5 minute grace period for me to fool around with revisions. I ran it out.

FallenAngelEyes

2:54 PM

@GraceNote Oooh okay

How did you get the breaks in?

Arda Xi

@GraceNote That would be an interesting topological exercise.

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes As with all things labelled "witchcraft", there is an exceedingly mundane explanation.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote Can you enlighten the masses, o wise practitioner? :D

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes I cheated with extra lines that have just HTML comments. Text enough to count as a separate line, but not enough to count as its own line in the displayed result.

David B

You can click source to view the raw text of the edit.

btw, awesome answer there about CoH. pitty about the invention IOs

Powerlord

3:05 PM

So, I reached Dungeon 3 in Skyward Sword, but haven't gone through it yet (sleeeeeep)

I wasn't even sure if it was Dungeon 3 at first.

user15026

@Powerlord I havent even gotten to the first one - I am getting so frustrated, I find this game incredibly hard. :(

FallenAngelEyes

@DavidB Thanks. And yeah, it's one of the biggest complaints of returning players. :(

@GraceNote Oooh okay

Powerlord

@AshleyNunn The difficulty does seem higher due to seemingly every. single. enemy. blocking your sword strikes.

user15026

@Powerlord I shouldn't have trouble with the Deku Babas, you know? But I do, because they each need a precise sword strike in a certain direction.

Powerlord

Also, why is it almost every enemy does 1 heart in damage instead of a half heart?

user15026

3:10 PM

@Powerlord I don't know, but I don't like it.

Powerlord

Having every enemy do 1 heart in damage and starting us with 6 hearts is much worse than having every enemy do 1/2 heart in damage and starting us with 3 hearts.

Unless you suddenly gain 2 heart containers every time you finish a dungeon (which, btw, you don't)

user15026

@Powerlord Yeah, it doesn't really scale.

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord Ouch, that's... harsh

user15026

Not to mention I am constantly getting lost

Wipqozn

I was terribly upset when they started us with more than 5 heart containers.

Powerlord

3:12 PM

@AshleyNunn The area around Dungeon 1 is kinda maze-y.

Grace Note

@Powerlord Are there enemies that do only half a heart in damage?

user15026

@Powerlord I suspect that is why I haven't gotten there yet. I actually quit last night because I was going in circles.

Powerlord

@GraceNote I suspect there are, but most (even Deku Babas) do a whole heart.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn plays Saria's Song

Grace Note

@Powerlord Yikes

Ivo Flipse

3:13 PM

Is anyone playing Skyrim with using mostly destruction? I had to reinstall my computer and forgot Skyrim's savegames aren't in the Steam folder...

Powerlord

The only time I remember taking half a heart damage was from fall damage

user15026

@GraceNote Also, dear Fi, telling me about the room I am in is not a HINT. Just saying.

FallenAngelEyes

@IvoFlipse Oooooouch

Grace Note

@IvoFlipse Uf

Ivo Flipse

@FallenAngelEyes yeah 16 hours worth of Skyrim is lost

FallenAngelEyes

3:14 PM

@IvoFlipse Only 16? That's barely a start! ;)

Ivo Flipse

I assume I can start again and focus on some other aspects more, but still

FallenAngelEyes

Seriously though, ugh, that sucks :(

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes This. Come on now @IvoFlipse, man up!

Ivo Flipse

@FallenAngelEyes I also have to play Assassin's Creed Revelations :P

Wipqozn

@IvoFlipse You should play through AC instead then, and when you are finished go back to skyrim.

FallenAngelEyes

3:16 PM

@IvoFlipse I'd actually recommend what @Wipqozn said, as AC is more linear than Skyrim, neh?

Ivo Flipse

@Wipqozn I was just level 13 or so, but still I had discovered a ton of places which made for comfortable traveling

@FallenAngelEyes super linear :P

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes Anything is more linear than skyrim

@IvoFlipse yeah, that's brutal.

FallenAngelEyes

Losing saves is always sucky :(

Wipqozn

When I lose saved games I lose my motivation to play at all. That's what happened to machinirum. MY save file just... crashed, and I lost it :/

Ronan Forman

@Wip I still haven't left skyloft and this game is still good.

Ivo Flipse

3:17 PM

I thought it was backed up with Steam, because I had lost my Steam folder due to a hard drive crash and still had all my saves when I redownloaded Skyrim

but that was only due to the saves being elsewhere :(

Wipqozn

@RonanForman DAmn straight it is. I'm almost at the fourth dungeon myself.

Powerlord

I never delete my user's profile folder.

GnomeSlice

And the wallpaper of the week is:

Ivo Flipse

@Powerlord I had to replace my motherboard, so my whole Windows install was corrupt :(

Powerlord

So, if saves are stored there (as they should be, there's a special folder there just for games), I still have them.

Ronan Forman

3:18 PM

I just got to my bird dragon

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice that's not a picture of me at all.

Powerlord

@IvoFlipse Sometimes a repair install will fix that, sometimes it won't.

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman did you see my message about the splash screen?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn Yeah, losing a save will kill my motivation for a good couple years sometimes

Powerlord

Still, a reinstall probably asked you if you wanted to reformat... :P

Wipqozn

3:19 PM

@FallenAngelEyes same here, all depends on how far into the game I was, and if there were any sections I hated.

BoltClock

Speaking of Steam and reinstalls... I reinstalled TF2 a couple of weeks back and it still has a 50% chance of crashing on a screenshot, and always crashes on mapchange.

Ivo Flipse

@Powerlord I also didn't feel like having two parallel Windows installs on the same disk

FallenAngelEyes

@GnomeSlice lol, my b/f's into electronics, he facepalmed

Ronan Forman

No, but I have AE so you can send me the project now.

Ivo Flipse

Ah well, life sucks :P

Powerlord

3:20 PM

Oh, I have a 236 page set of documentation from another team from last night's "off-site meeting" that I'm supposed to read and review by the end of tonight. >:/

Ronan Forman

Damn straight.

Powerlord

They're insane if they think I'm going to read the entire thing.

FallenAngelEyes

@Grace In my attempts to repeat your witchery on my Batman question, inserted the linebreak "pulls" the double-nested item down so there's a break between it and the nested item above it as well. Guh, what am I doing wrong?

@Powerlord ewwww

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes This is why witches are the ones who practice witchcraft.

Ronan Forman

Why don't they call their birds before they jump?

FallenAngelEyes

3:22 PM

@GraceNote I guess I wouldn't make a good duck. :(

user15026

@RonanForman For the thrill of possibly falling to your death?

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes She's a witch!

FallenAngelEyes

So this guy keeps every piece of armor and every weapon of every person he's killed in Skyrim

Powerlord

I was going to make a Monty Python joke here, but I have this 236 page set of diagrams and test cases to review.

GnomeSlice

@FallenAngelEyes Do you die as soon as you take a step inside?

Grace Note

3:23 PM

@Powerlord I thought you already made a Monty Python joke

FallenAngelEyes

GnomeSlice

He... wow.

FallenAngelEyes

This other guy apparently collects bodies. I imagine you would if you stepped into that one, if only from the smell

Ronan Forman

Why does goose have the pirate music? He doesn't deserve it!

Aeo

@FallenAngelEyes I assume that picture is from a very dedicated member of the Dark Brotherhood?

Wipqozn

3:26 PM

@FallenAngelEyes That is awesome

Grace Note

Speaking of Dark Brotherhood, @LessPop, apparently a certain vampire is immune to pickpocketing due to her youthful appearance.

FallenAngelEyes

@Aeo I don't know, I haven't really played any Elder Scrolls, someone linked these to me

GnomeSlice

@FallenAngelEyes Can't imagine why.

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes ...what?

FallenAngelEyes

@Wipqozn I've been over this before. I like reading ingame lore and I hit a bookstore in Morrowind and never escaped

Wipqozn

3:31 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Ah, in that case you are forgiven.

FallenAngelEyes

Gaming ADD hit and that's where I am in my save still

GnomeSlice

Have you read the 'Ocarina of time' book?

It doesn't even try to not sound like gameplay.

FallenAngelEyes

Also when starting to play series, I have this weird tic where I prefer to start at the beginning, so part of me kind of wants to play Arena and Daggerfall first

Wipqozn

@FallenAngelEyes ah I see

agent86

@badp apologies if the SS3 answer was too obvious, you didn't mention it in your question and it seemed like the right thing to do. No offense intended :)

FallenAngelEyes

3:34 PM

I don't like starting with newer games then going back to the older ones, partially for story reasons, but also because oftentimes, developers learn from mistakes or unhandy things they've done in the past and vastly improve on the mechanics and going back to crappier mechanics is hard

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes I find in general that nostalgia with respect to video games is almost impossible for me.

how can I get nostalgic about a game that's been done and redone every year since?

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes For instance, try going to back to the original Castlevania games after playing Symphony of the Night.

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes and playing arena/daggerfall is not going to be a good idea in general

if you think Oblivion/Skyrim have bugs, ohhhh man.

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord SotN's one of the ones they released on XBLA, neh? I think I got that one...

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes Yup.

agent86

3:35 PM

Morrowind is pretty good though

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes Although it's a re-release of a PlayStation 1 game.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 Haha, a friend of mine is kind of interested in Skyrim and has the same tic as I do, so he has downloaded them already (iirc Bethesda released them for free?)

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!

Powerlord

They also had Harmony of Despair (I think) on XBLA, which is a multiplayer game.

@agent86 But enough talk, have at you!

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord Yeah, a couple of my friends are pretty big Castlevania fans and recommended that one

agent86

3:37 PM

@Powerlord they have this weird naming convention for their games, the first couple of DS games had DS initiais for their subtitles, I think

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 Yeah, I have the GotY for that

agent86

they probably picked "Harmony of Dispair" to indicate it's a "HD" title.

@FallenAngelEyes with the TES games though, if you're behind, you might as well just skip to the present. The story tends not to connect too much, and the games are just so massive you'd never get through the backlog.

Powerlord

@agent86 Dawn of Sorrow did, I know, but Portrait of Ruin and... er... I forget the name of the third one, didn't.

agent86

Supposedly Skyrim really fixes a lot of the BS mechanics from the previous games.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 But I don't want to miss out on all the little nuances and things they reference in the world about the other games!

agent86

3:39 PM

@Powerlord yeah, I guess they couldn't come up with more than one silly subtitles that had DS initials :P

FallenAngelEyes

If that just went through twice, I apologize, I got the timeout message

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes They don't.

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes I played morrowind and oblivion, and there was little to no references between them

if there were any, they'd be so tiny that even if you sank 200 hours into morrowind and oblivion before skyrim, you'd still probably miss them.

FallenAngelEyes

The world sounds so expansive though

Raven Dreamer

There's a single cross-game character. A Khajit named "M'aiq the Liar" whose sole purpose is to spout witticisms about development complaints (no crossbows, etc).

FallenAngelEyes

3:40 PM

And I guess I just kind of want to experience it from multiple facets

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes it is, and that's part of the problem. with so much content, very little is memorable.

Powerlord

@agent86 Dawn of Sorrow is also one of the few direct sequels in the series, being the sequel to Aria of Sorrow.

FallenAngelEyes

@Powerlord Is that the one where you had to grind for souls over and over and over?

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes Both of them are. :|

GnomeSlice

@RonanForman Hello?

FallenAngelEyes

3:41 PM

@Powerlord ...oh

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes you could spend DAYS reading books in those games. it's an insane amount of content.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 ...I have, this is why I never finished Morrowind <_<

agent86

@Powerlord they all kind of blended together for me, although I enjoyed them immensely. I think that's one of my favorite DS series.

@FallenAngelEyes maybe this isn't the series for you :P

go back to whipping people with giant phallic baseball bats!

Raven Dreamer

@Powerlord Also, you were Dracula

agent86

@RavenDreamer SPOILERS, geez.

FallenAngelEyes

3:43 PM

On a random note, while the black and gold Zelda special edition 3DS is so so tempting, I'm not sure if I want to get that or hold out and see if they'll release a Kingdom Hearts 3D special edition (or one with better battery life)

agent86

;)

Raven Dreamer

@FallenAngelEyes Linky?

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 While it's true that doesn't get old, my gaming tastes are a bit more expansive than that, haha

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes The first generation of any nintendo handheld is always quickly superseded by a much better version.

Powerlord

@RavenDreamer It's a black 3DS with the Zelda triforce logo on it in gold.

agent86

3:44 PM

@FallenAngelEyes Psh. when you've got dildo bat, really, where do you go from there?!? :P

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 I don't even...

agent86

I just think TES might be bad if you're wanting to experience every little bit of content. Too dense. Like trying to eat a whole room full of cheesecake.

@RavenDreamer Saints Row: The Third. It's a thing.

an insane, over the top, vulgar, crazy, thing.

kotaku.com/5786617/…

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer It's so pretty

agent86

saintsrow.wikia.com/wiki/The_Penetrator

user15026

@agent86 That's my problem with most games, to be honest.

FallenAngelEyes

3:46 PM

@agent86 But I love cheesecaaaake

agent86

@AshleyNunn I try to sort my games into piles. Some I'm going to 100%, some I'm going to beat, some I'm going to try, and some I'm going to skip.

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer (yes there is a US edition too, will be at... Best Buy iirc, for Black Friday sales)

agent86

I generally do it on the basis of the achievements these days.

Powerlord

@FallenAngelEyes And GameStop

Raven Dreamer

@agent86 Oh. I thought you were talking about some monster, or a pokemon or something. THAT would have been much worse.

agent86

3:47 PM

and how fun the game is to play

Powerlord

I noticed they'd give me $100 off one of the new 3DS bundles (Zelda bundle or Mario bundle) if I trade in my DSi XL

agent86

@RavenDreamer hmm, dildo bat pokemon...

user15026

@agent86 I have the same thing - I try everything, but some games I am like OMG must finish right away, other games take me forever. If it is something I can play on the DS, I am much more likely to finish it (the idea that I could take it anywhere even if I don't really somehow makes me more likely to play)

Raven Dreamer

@Powerlord Hm. I wonder how much I'd get for my DS Light.

agent86

@RavenDreamer a quarter and some dryer lint.

user15026

3:48 PM

@RavenDreamer I got $25 for mine a bit ago when I traded towards my 3DS

Powerlord

@RavenDreamer Someone scanned their ad, I'd check one of the Black Friday sale sites.

FallenAngelEyes

Also I prefer my handhelds and consoles to be black, so there's that that's tempting me for the Zelda 3DS bundle as well

A KH one would likely be white I think...

Raven Dreamer

agent86

@AshleyNunn My problem these days is that my friends all want to play Crappy Shooter 2012! in the evenings, so I have little time to really sit down and savor a game. Although sometimes I still do.

Aeo

@RavenDreamer If it's any indication, I got about $20 for my original phat DS trading towards a 3ds...

agent86

3:49 PM

having kids means my ability to play anything rated T/M is relatively limited.

Wipqozn

@RavenDreamer w...what? l o l

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 ah, I can imagine that's a prob :( Gotta wait til they're in bed and all

Yi Jiang

@Wipqozn Its a brand of drinks called Pure I think

Powerlord

Well, the thing is, they are giving higher than normal amounts, but only if you're buying one of the two new 3DS bundles.

Yi Jiang

They have funny packaging

Raven Dreamer

3:50 PM

@Powerlord what's the other bundle?

FallenAngelEyes

@RavenDreamer the new Mario

Powerlord

@RavenDreamer Super Mario 3D Land with a Crimson 3DS.

user15026

@agent86 I dont have many friends that play video games, so that's not something I've run into, but I do have the attention span of a dried pea.

Powerlord

But, it's not a special edition type thing like the Zelda bundle is.

FallenAngelEyes

I don't even want to play this stuff in 3D, but I need to play the new Kingdom Hearts game so I kind of have to get one

agent86

3:51 PM

@Powerlord I think my DS Lite has seen too much action. I had to rebuild it with imported Chinese 'knock off' parts after the hinge broke

@FallenAngelEyes I like the main KH series, but the handheld spinoffs have not been nearly as good IMHO

Powerlord

This page has a scan of the ad

MindWorX

How often do you experience dragons spawning in stupid locations in Skyrim? The last two dragons decided to spawn in areas where they couldn't land, and never paused to attack me. They'd just circle around, constantly out of reach of my spells.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 They're still so much sturdier than PSPs though

Powerlord

DS Lite trade-in knocks $70 off the price.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 Have you played Birth by Sleep?

If not, dooooo eeeeeeeeet

Raven Dreamer

3:52 PM

@Powerlord Isn't it $130 normally these days? Hell, I'm all over that, then.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes I don't own a PSP, but I am generally hard on electronics. I managed to put giant gouges in my DSi touch screen, and it still worked like a trooper. :)

agent86

@AshleyNunn I didn't used to either, but then I made a friend at work who a) plays all the time I do b) likes the same games c) has the same skill level as I do. Since then, my evenings are solid booked. That and I was terribly unproductive while I worked that job with him...

FallenAngelEyes

General fan consensus is that it is the best by far when it comes to gameplay. I've started (and again haven't finished it yet) and it's incredibly solid, and even with how convoluted the KH story has become, its story is solid as well.

Powerlord

@agent86 DS Lite hinge breaks are extremely common. >:/

@FallenAngelEyes I wouldn't know from PSPs, although I've considered stealing my brother's; he doesn't play it much. I haven't seen him in months though, so so far Operation PSP Theft is a no-go.

@FallenAngelEyes DO you need background to play the handheld KH games? I am intrigued by them but if I have to go all the way back to the original....

agent86

@Powerlord The new plastic parts I got are surprisingly more durable, but the original plastic design was AWFUL.

Powerlord

There are a few games I'd like to play on PSP, but not enough to buy the system

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes I feel like I started it and couldn't get into it.

A: Kingdom Hearts Timeline

As of November 1st, 2011, this is the chronological order in which the games take place. Credit goes to the Kingdom Hearts Wikia Timeline article. I'll link to the each of the games on the wiki for reference, but if you haven't played them, I'd recommend not clicking these links. I'm going to d...

@Powerlord same here. free would be OK, but $199 or whatever? no, thanks.

I know I've only played KH1 and KH2.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 I feel like I could brain someone to death with my DS and then continue playing Picross 3D with no probs, but I'm paranoid if my PSP falls off the table

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes SO yes, I need to play a lot of other games? (THe answer, while nice, doesn't really help me)

Powerlord

@agent86 I think they're on sale for $99 on Black Friday somewhere.

However, the PSP is now a nearly-dead system.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 I agree. I received mine as a gift from one of my b/f's, otherwise I would have never purchased one on my own

Powerlord

From what I've heard, the Vita won't be able to read UMD discs.

@AshleyNunn The story will make no sense to you whatsoever if you haven't played at least KH1

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes Picross 3D FTW. also Prof. Layton series

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 I haven't played those yet, but I've heard they're good!

agent86

@Powerlord Didn't they also make a PSP Lite that didn't read UMD's either?

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes Ah, so that's a no go, then. :(

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes OHGODOHGODOHGOD BUYBUYBUY

@agent86 PSP Go, yeah

user15026

@agent86 Professor Layton is awesomesauce. :)

Powerlord

@agent86 PSP Go, which has already halted production.

agent86

@FallenAngelEyes seems like UMD's a dead format.

Powerlord

But yeah, the first 3DS Professor Layton was already announced for European release in 2012.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 PSP Go didn't sell at all though

agent86

3:57 PM

@Powerlord To which I say, screw you nintendo. Screw you for making me buy a 3ds.

FallenAngelEyes

@AshleyNunn No one has a PS2 you could borrow?

@agent86 That's where I'm sitting with KH, lol

agent86

@AshleyNunn KH1/2 are both excellent games.

if you lived near me, and my wife wouldn't kill me (she's a KH fanatic) I'd loan the console+games to you.

user15026

@FallenAngelEyes I have one (somewhere? I think?) but I have to get a copy of the game, and ever since I bought games on eBay that were pirated copies, I am so hesitant to try looking there again, and that is the only place that I have been able to find it

agent86

it's just the right amount of disney + squareenix to make a decent game.

FallenAngelEyes

@agent86 One of my exes got me a Sora wallscroll for my bday :D

I really do want to play them, but I don't know how to get the games. :(

Jesus Christ, every time I flip away for a few minutes there are like 50 new messages.

@AshleyNunn Gamestop almost always has copies
