So, there was the time I played Final Fantasy 3 with all my characters in Mini by accident, then there was the time I un-knowingly played Fable with a controller that had a broken directional pad and now...
I'm about 12 hours into Nostalgia, an RPG for the DS. I'd say I am in the last quarter of the game. The battles have been getting tougher, and so I've been grinding a fair bit to get my skills higher. Then the other day I notice a stat on the screen "SP: 9999" My first thought was, "Uh oh, that can't be good" Yup, you guessed it, unlike Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest where your spells automatically evolve, in this game you spend SP to buy higher level spells. I've been walking around with level 1 spells for the entire game.
Recently Spotted:
*crickets*
I don't know if you noticed or not, but I gave you a nod in one of my previews of recently released XBLA games.
"I *think* the Right Stick allows you to control the direction in which you fire too; at least that's what it LOOKS like in the video --BUT-- I just played the game for a full half hour and didn't even realize this! (Yes, Lads and Ladies, I pulled an Aspro!)"
I might even be able to top this!
For the first time EVER I just realized you DO NOT have to be signed into the Playstation Network in order to be able to download games and/or add-ons, etc.
I was attempting to DL Claptrap's New Robot Revolution for Borderlands when I realized the DL had stopped. I thought by signing out of PSN and back in, it would spur the DL on again. When I signed off and back on again, I noticed in that time 7 megs had "mysteriously" been downloaded. Out of curiosity, I Signed Out of PSN again and went back to my "Download Manager" tab...
...and the DL was ab-so-lute-ly flying... faster than ANYTHING I've EVER downloaded on PSN before!!
Boy do I feel silly!
Manual, muthafucka! Do you read it?
PS: Your new Theme Song.
You've got to complete the game with level one spells now. Then post the final battle on youtube act as if you'd be planning it all along and become an internet hero.
Eventually, that's how I found out what SP was.
Too late, and guess what... the game is a lot more fun now.
That's NOTHING.
Boo.
