I don't consider that old-school, "but I see what you did there!"

But Itagaki is skilled. Jaffe is more the western Itagaki than this clown.

I guess.
I was thinking more looking at the sunglasses and cigarettes.

I have been playing easily 40 hours now. I have only about 35% of the Monsters in the Compendium.
I am on the 5th of 7(?) Areas.
It just NEVER gets old!
I am playing the Just Side versus Chaotic or Neutral.
I am planning on playing this at least once more to see how the decisions alter the game...
...and I NEVER do that!
It is a masterpiece --BUT-- I am expecting even BIGGER things from:
Leo, you got friends to adventure with? I don't.
If you see some nerdy looking guy with a backwards Angel's cap, a Nike basketball T, with blue jeans and flip-flops playing DQIX with his DSi at a McDonalds, be sure to say "hi!"

Itagaki himself thinks he's the super-cocky Swedish guitar hero Yngwie Malmsteen:
Yeah I can't believe I never got into this franchise sooner. I always thought they looked really good and fun to play but for whatever reason I just never got around to ever picking one of the games up. I'm so glad I finally got around to getting into them this gen though.http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board.pl?action=viewthread&boardid=1&threadid=111966
If they do a good job with it maybe it will be my first MMO since WoW! Please be good, please be good, etc.
And if you haven't played the existing single player game yet, what are you waiting for, fools? It's also on Steam, for the same price (well, for Europeans it's more, via GoG you pay in USD prices regardless of location, unlike Steam), but since it's a single player game, imo it's best bought via GoG or Impulse, DRM-free and all that jazz.
There's also a stand alone expansequel, Armored Princess, and it's getting an expansion soon. I'm waiting for that to play through it, it was a bit lackluster and repetitive compared to the original game, but with the new stuff it'll be great. I bought the first game during a Steam sale for like four of my friends and they all loved it as much as I did.
The optimist proclaims we live in the best of all possible worlds
while the pessimist fears this is true.

It's coming this week to PSN/XBLA!
I'm looking forward to this one. It looks like a really good light-hearted Diablo-styled game for consoles.

Yeah I've got my eye on Deathspank, it looks like it could be a pretty enjoyable game. I'm definitely going to give the game a try when it gets released.
Dragon Quest creator loves Oblivion!?
Who knew? Interesting.
Damn. This makes me want to play Oblivion again!

I remember getting really into WoW a few months back, but after the first two months it gets so boring. To keep a diversful experience: explore, quests, dungeon crawling, repeat X 1000. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't take so long to level up. But of course Blizzard can't do this because the average WoW player levels up at at least twice a day. Hell I played the game for like an hour and a half a day and ended up usually leveling up once every two or three days. :/

Okay, it's Sunday in the Americas so it's time for what you been playing.
This week:
Beat Final Fantasy 5 Advance after 40 logged hours (probably 55 total). Feels good. Dumb story at the end.
Beat Wolfenstein 3D for GBA. Migraine inducing on the GBA.
Beat Total Overdose for XB. Scarface was not a GTA clone this IS. But an awesome one, based on the El Mariachi vibe. I picked up the PSP sequel Chile Con Carne as a result.
Now playing:
Beyblade G-Revolution (GBA). Just starting. I like the Pokemon style graphics.
Call of the Cthulu (XB) I'm more than half way done with this, just need to gut it.
Final Fantasy III (DS) -- Shudder. I hate this version, but I am 8 hours in and want to beat the damn thing.
But I foresee myself playing Dragon Quest IX all day!
Other games I've been playing include:
