FFD2 - okay they port over way more mobile F2P DNA than I was expecting. It handles all encounters in the same way Record Keeper does where everything is a set number of waves. They are pretty mindless and easy and can be auto battlefests by default if you get ahead of the curve even a little.
So I will probably champion it a bit less than FFD1.
Ooon the other hand though it does mean it is a stronger fit on mobile where FFD was more “here is a fun budget FF game you have to play on your phone/tablet. It is great if you can ignore the controls!” Instead I am more annoyed that I have to play it in Landscape.
No Stamina or anything to fight with, just a game that has mobile game core mechanics. It will probably pan out to be a fun game to play to pass time on public transport.
Good Rec Djinn!

Discussion / DLC XII - Is it a goer? Whats the plan?
« on: February 25, 2017, 04:00:21 AM »
So it has come time of the year that I can book flights for decent rates and... still nothing worked out for Con yet. Something has come up so I will want to be in North America come August, but just trying to plan out what I do with my time.
Was there anything that eventuated? I know a couple of ideas floated and last year Boston sounded pretty rad and all, but.... questionmark? Figured we are overdue a discussion topic anyway.

Sad that I don't have Patissier yet, but I have more jobs I want higher stuff of than I can get anyway.

General Chat / Terrible tattoo ideas
« on: January 28, 2016, 11:01:17 AM »
I am bored waiting for my tram home and Zenny isn't crying in the FFRK thread to make dick jokes at, so here is a dumb thing. Instead of casting DLers as characters in game sir movies or porn, here is insulting ideas for really bad tattoos for you to get what black out drunk.
Zenny - A guy boxing a donkey in silhouette. Left butt cheek. Orrrr maybe one on each cheek with gloves connecting right in the middle if it is done in full colour.
Snow - this is a recycled joke. An ornate handle. Tramp Stamp.
Elfman - Fibonacci sequence (or some proof maybe) in Elvish. Maybe just a Cotan wave.
Super - His own face, Steve O style.
Rob - Second wife's name.
Snowfire - if Elf get Cotan you would have to one up it with a more obscure trig function that my fake mathboy weakness doesn't show. Or a ring of Sine waves around your Bicep with 07/14/1789 never forget above it.
Gourry - Remember Sammy Jenkis.
Captain K. - tri-Ace logo
Sopko - an eye patch.
Kappa - Why?
Nephrite - anything that is not my phone number.

Magic the Gathering Puzzle Quest - To anyone that knows either franchise this sounds like it is potential crack. To anyone that knows both they know it should be.
In reality it is honestly just kind of mediocre. The pacing mechanics are out of whack even for a Free 2 Play game. The Logins are solid enough that you will turn the app on each day, but not necessarily do anything in it. There is no events running. Player vs Player is actually just playing against other peoples decks with AI control, everyone has shitty decks because getting cards is too hard and the AI can't use Planeswalker abilities effectively. Story enemies scale up HP super fast. Some of the special things to do to get free premium currency are fucking stupid. Enemy has over 100 health. Kill them in 7 turns. How about you fuck off. Oh and the enemies get Mythic Rares by the time I am up to. So if they draw a lot of them your wrecked. There is cards that are flat out strictly better at higher rarities (I play Red, Red starts with a Lightning Bolt in Common for 6 mana, 3 damage. I got a Rare, 6 mana, 6 damage, Mythics are bonkers).
When the game works the Match 3 gameplay is pretty fun, when it fails it is mostly because you drew shit cards and lol ur fuked.
Do not recommend. Only sticking with it to see if time smooths out the play loop with time.

Dark Souls 2 - So I restarted as a Knight instead of Sorcerer so I could like have some HP and not use a Dagger.
Then I found the bonfire at the start of the Forest. That is less annoying now.
Also got a mod to get rid of the gigantic dead zones to running around doesn't feel like I can only move in 8 directions.

General Chat / David Lynch's Dune movie adaptation. Seen it?
« on: January 28, 2014, 07:00:48 AM »
I make jokes about this every now and then and was wondering how many people have sat through it by now. Also interested in what people think of it too but whatevs.
Personally I love it but I am also squarely in the target audience of art consuming wankers that loves high concepts, can tolerate bad execution for fresh ideas, loves David Lynch, loves cinema in general and am a big fan of Frank Herbert's original novel. Also there is the camp factor.

FO:NV - More used to the engine, less frustrated. Having places unlocked for fast travel also helps immensely. Got to the Strip, took Black Widow so I could try and steal Maria off Benny after sleeping with him. None of this works. End up shooting it out of his hand running up and snatching it up and shooting him in the face with it.
Going for the ending where you end up ruling Vegas mostly because I really want to get that challenge of killing Mr House with a golf club.

FF Dimensions - Got Ifrit then proceeded into a Volcano. Good thing my White Mage doesn't have high enough Summon to use Ifrit yet otherwise I would have wasted a bunch of time. My Monk on the other hand I really wish could move back to something else, but Ice Knuckles are wayyyyy better than any of the other melee options. I could probably dump him into Ranger with the other Ranger and give them both Ice Bows since you want all the Rangers and have everyone Back Row, but eh that is boring.
I have really come to hate chests in FF games. Opening up a chest you have done 3 encounters and walked through a damage panel or two to get to and getting "Echo Grass" makes me want to punch a designer in the face.
Persona 4 - Up to Kanji dungeon. Was going to swear about Contrarian King but realised Rampage was a limit move. Then the time I Defended after Diamond Shield to survive it Chie dodge like both hits of it and lived as well, so hey, that was nice. Then nearly missed the Suzaku Feather afterwards because the game assumes you know something will have appeared to search. Because just making the boss drop the special item would be fucking lame. Getting it with SOS feature is silly though. 200+ SP pool for Yukiko. Okay she can regen 7 SP minimum each fight. Seems fair (no it isn't).
Kind of not digging Normal mode. It is making the dungeon parts the least fun parts of the game. Not because they are hard but because it makes me want to fuck around and regen SP to save up money which is probably making my OCD brain make the game way grindier than it should be. I have a problem and it kind of ruins these games.

The reasons everyone should play Deus Ex.
Everyone should play Deus Ex. Not just because it is one of the most widely positively viewed games you can find around and not just because it is one of the "classics" that missing is like being a Cinema buff and not having seen Schindler's List. It should be played because it is the game that grabs half the crazy ideas you and your friends have ever had for a game and makes it work.
Do you remember when you just watched the Matrix and guys in long coats from the future that took on armies of dudes with assault rifles with pistols was cool? This game does that. Remember when you read about Nanotechnology and thought it was the coolest thing ever and how it would let you fix damaged organs in cancer patients? Well it doesn't do that, instead it lets you lift giant crates, regenerate from any wound and detonate anti-armour small arms as soon as they are fired at you with your mind, which is almost as cool as the cancer thing. This is the game that took your young impressionable ideas of super megacorporations led by hypercompetent villains that buy out the government branches while forming the Illuminati come to life in a fully realised world. It is terribly melodramatic and plays it so straight that it is delightful. Topping it all off? The game is just damned fun to play.
Call me old fashioned but that is the main reason to play the game. Ignore all the hype for it and ignore the plot. You just have a game that is straight up fun to play. You have choices from the very start on how you want to shape your journey picking skills that will determine your approaches to your objectives. What is this swimming skill? I am a super secret agent man I won't need that! And you won't. Unless you choose to go that route! Then for a cheap investment you can effectively swim underwater for about 10 minutes. Even splashing into a few different areas is rewarding, there is no need to hyperfocus on one or two skills when being passignly competent at lockpicking, bypassing electronic security and computer hacking all will provide you a wide array of ways to approach your objectives. There is no need to be a perfect shot with a rifle if you can take that side door and have as long as you want to line up your shots.
Then of course there is simple choices that are not even effected by your choices of skills, do you roll out guns blazing or do you take a more tactically minded stealthy approach, both are just as viable as one another. One obviously trends more towards your skill choices being combat based clearly, but there is distinct variations to both paths that can be taken even still.
Most importantly however is that not only does the game give you all these tools to play with, it gives you sandboxes to use them in. Not a big vast open world to do as you will to your hearts content, but carefully crafted sequences of challenges for you to meet. Some paths may be more difficult than others given your skillset, but enough searching or persistencecan even see you through paths that are counter to your chosen skillset if you insist on proceeding. This isn't a case of sequence breaking, but rewarding self set goals, you are on the path you chose for yourself. Of course that is assuming you just stick to one path. For those slightly more obsessive players the world is so well populated that the more you search the more of the fully realised world you will experience. You can run around a part of Paris and find a drug dealer asking you to break into a nearby bakery to steal some drugs hidden in the oven overnight. You only run into encounters like this by exploration, both the dealer and the bakery are entirely optional areas of a larger section of a Paris city area. Don't let my description of it not being an open world mislead you. The game has its boundaries and limited areas, but these are big areas that you can easilly sink some time into.
It is a game of choice and consequences, not all of which are rewards, but never are an unexpected punishment. There are at times even rewards for pushing the game in directions that are counter to what people are telling to you do in game. It creates for a wholely unique gaming experience. A world with a refined plot that will swerve if the player pushes it and keep running, a shooter that is refined to the point where gunfire is something that can be largely ignored and if you desire lethal approaches even completely bypassed, in some cases it even being the safe route to disabling a target. There is boss fights and they can all be bypassed or completely ignored if desired. The largest criticism for the choices you will find is likely that some of the choices are fairly shallow or are presented and immediately resolved, however the game comes ahead with the sheer number of choices that you have all creating their own little minor permutations on what is still a largely carefully constructed story that someone wants to say. This is choice without "But thou must!" or same responses to alternate dialogues. This is a game where choice is something you make and you deal with the consequences of it and the game keeps going. Events are bigger than the player themself, but the player is still a central actor in the larger story.
So yes. You should play this game whoever you are that is reading this. Yes you Ralp. Andrew. Or Gregory. Whatever your name is. You there with the eye and maybe another one to the left or right of it. This is a fantastic game and one that you should have played already, but if you are still reading this then you are clearly not playing it or replaying it right now. Get to it. It costs a tenner. At the time of typing this you can get it for a $20 with one of the greatest examples of how to not learn anything from your predecessor and the follies of restricting all versions of a game because of one platforms weaknesses. There is even currently a Square Enix sale going on with this and a bunch of other stuff for $75 if you are so inclined (19/02/11 sale is about to end even).
The game is amazing. The game is available and it is old enough that it will run on almost anything you can get your hands on. There is bug fixes that should fix almost any issues you can see.
Once you are done playing it you should also watch the mind blowing speed run of it to watch a man Air Surf grenades off buildings to stop from dying or using them to teleport through walls.
Edit - On the off chance that anyone ever listens to a word I say when I tell you that this game that is awesome that you will play and go "Oh my gods that was awesome why did no one ever tell me about this game!??!?!?", there is a modded executable you can get that will let you play a the game a bit more consistently on newer systems. http://kentie.net/article/dxguide/ Of great note is also this work that he has done http://kentie.net/article/d3d10drv to enable DirectX 10 support to the game so you can do some fairly neat things to take some of the rough edges off the game graphically (specifically enable V-Sync which does just that).

General Chat / Sharing gaming growing up (Methods of time allocation)
« on: December 12, 2010, 12:35:22 PM »
So, I was talking with familly today about our gaming habits growing up and pondered something that came up with the style of play that we had and wondered if it helped nourish such a strong habit in our familly.
Specifically, when I was growing up we had a tendency to share our gaming activities and there being 3 or 4 of us viaing to use a single machine almost constantly the ways we went about there were sometimes not totally fair. Now the longer form of this I was actually considering writing up in a short form essay analysing the effects of these different kinds of play through the lens of Operant Conditioning and how it influenced myself and my siblings growing up to really make us the crippled socially inadequate gamer nerds that we are today.
What I was really wanting to ask here is what kinds of methods did others here use when sharing gaming time with siblings?
Specifically there is three that came to mind for us.
Man or a Stage. You die, you hand over the controller. Simple to understand and chronically unfair when you aren't nearly as good as others at the game (this was the one that spurred me on to consider it through the Operant Conditioning lens).
Timed turns. We also used to cycle half hourly or hourly, simple but effective and fairly egalitarian (and delightfully far more Classical conditioning than Operant).
Finally we also used to share. Commonly paired up with timed turns (Lets play together so we get 2 hours!), some of this sharing was horribly out of proportion (you tell me what to do and I will do whatever you tell me! Actually not as sad as it sounds with things like Civilisation or X-Com with a younger kid).
Fairly all encompassing, but I was kind of interested if anyone had used anything similar with siblings outside these three methods. Might put together full article from it or I might get bored, but hey got me pondering if nothing else.

« on: August 14, 2009, 09:52:15 AM »
This is a test. Now.
These are from the order they are on the OST CD for simplicity and I am cutting out duplicates, actually change of plans here, I am shuffling them about to show stuff that is more prominent in the show. Second OST filling in missing spots at the end, stuff from this will likely be stupid pictures on youtube since they are from a different album which someone hasn't as helpfully uploaded in one spot like the others. Enjoy. Warning great deal of youtube linkage, total of a lot of music, but such is life. Many tracks are short, but stopping early is acceptable.
BECK - Brainstorm VS BECK - Spice of Life
Chounaikaichuu no Musuko Band - Mad House VS Minami Maho - Sly
BECK - Face VS Belle Ame - Lost Melody
Saitou San Band feat. Tanaka Koyuki & Minami Maho - Follow Me VS Kuniyoshi Chiemi - Genki wo Dashite
BECK - Like A Foojin VS ciel bleu - Youkai Ningen Bem
Hyoudou Band - Gymnasium VS Chiba Tsunemi - Reloaded
Musicmans Feat. Miyazawa Manabu - Journey VS The Dying Breed - My World Down
Hyoudou Band 2 - Love Dischord VS BECK - By Her
BECK - I've Got a Feeling VS BECK - Slip Out
Tanaka Koyuki & Minami Maho - Moon on the water VS Goofy'S Holiday - Piece of Tears
Beat Crusaders - 50¢ Wisdom VS Husking Bee - Brightest
Meister - I call you love VS The Residents - Third Reich and Roll
Well there was an odd number and I couldn't think of anything else to do without repeating one of the songs. So you get a Residents track.

Writeup Graveyard / Peco (vs Kidd)
« on: February 07, 2009, 12:08:44 AM »
None can defeat the power of the halucenogenic onion. It puts you to sleep and regenerates to full health. It punches you in the face. UNSTOPPABLE. He chips away and stings like a butterfly and floats like a 2x4 constructed out of bees. Slow and steady chipping, healing games and and a chance to just KO you in one punch with his Killer Claws on his fearful onion talons. Eggpants.

Writeup Graveyard / Boyd (Vs Midboss)
« on: November 07, 2008, 02:47:42 PM »
How much Wood would a Woodchuck chuck if a Woodchuck was a Mercenary who was most definitely totally not into crossdressing. Like seriously it was just a phase. He has an Axe now and everyone knows Men of the Woods never wear dresses no matter how nice a cocktail dress it is or how well it goes with their handbag. I mean it just isn't practical, heels are not designed for secluded group meetings in the woods with other Luis Vuiton enthusiasts. So Boyd has a lot of pent up anger built up that needs to be taken out on someone else with violent thrusts of his massive Axe of extreme manliness +8 and Midboss just so happens to be the next target.

Writeup Graveyard / Oscar (VS Gadwin)
« on: November 07, 2008, 02:42:10 PM »
Oscar is a Mercenary and you know what the say about Mercenaries.
And fighting.
So Oscar has a wide variety of Pokemon at his disposal, from the ever present Iron Lance, not so great Slim Lance to the fairly effective Killer Lance and Silver Lance. With the added bonus of the duel setting covering for Killer and Silver's usual penalties of low PP amounts not being such a disadvantage with the lack of need for Longevity as Gadwin is weird enough to try and wrestle all of Oscar's deadly Spear Pokemon by himself. What kind of sick weirdo actually physically fights these days?
