Only just got to lv 29 or 30 so have not tried the respec. Not sure I want to de-level one of my landsknechts. Sounds like what I imagined, which is sucky but not quite as sucky as leveling someone from the ground up. I want to try the retirement thing.

I decided to dust off the playstation and pop in the best Simian themed game not called Donky Kong.....Ape Escape.
God spankin monkeys with a lightsaber is entertainment at 1999's finest.

Played some Dragon Quest 8. Nice to know the formula hasn't changed since 1. Except now it's not charming and doesn't bring forth any nostalgia; it's just horribly annoying. At least I only paid $15 bucks for this stinker.
Fired up Shadow Hearts: From the New World. So far it's the weakest of the three, and I'm just about to the point where the game stops introducing new systems. The balance is just all over the place, the story is disjointed and uninteresting so far, and while it has the improvements 2 made over 1, they just added a lot of extraneous crap (and changed stuff that didn't need changing). However, this one does seem like it's worth playing through and finishing, since the humor is there, it looks and sounds good, the judgment ring owns, and I have the need to get a feeling for how this series ends up. The story should pick up, since barely anything has happened and I'm already 2.5 hours in. I think this one will end up being a number of memorable moments rather than the masterpiece Shadow Hearts: Covenant was.

I couldn't finish Shadow Hearts 3. I played the hell out of it for a few days, then got totally sick of it. And I absolutely loved the first two games.

At least I only paid $15 bucks for this stinker. Heh.. kind of glad that it's the only one I've ever played then. Some day I'll return and finish it and FF12. Not any time soon, though, as I tried this weekend and they both put me to sleep. |

I never finish anything if it's long or hard. Especially when they're long AND hard. Unless I cheat. Then I finish really fast. It's so much harder to cheat on consoles though.  |

Well, MrHat likes inter-species erotica, I suppose that could be considered part of what is wrong with him. |

Tonight I will be playing The Darkness (360) and writing my Grim Grimoire (PS2) review.
Tomorrow I will be playing Overlord (360) and Hoshigami Remix (DS).
On Thursday, I should be getting my copy of Raw Danger for the PS2.
Next week is Vampire's Rain and Ninja Gaiden Sigma.
It's a good two weeks.

Figure I'm about 60% though Shadow Hearts 3. I'm playing it about an hour a night and I figure I'll end up finishing it, but I doubt I'll do many of the side quests.
Forza 2 is still great to toss in and play for 30 minutes to an hour at a time.

Any word on why they didn't call it "Ninja Gaiden Really Really Black"? |

Any word on why they didn't call it "Ninnja Gaidan Really Really Black"? Maybe they didn't want people assuming they used the Doom 3 engine? |

I really wish I could play an RPG like that, but the perfectionist in me commands that I do all available sidequests. It also says that I must destroy all barrels and crates in dungeon crawlers, and fully explore all maps when possible. It tends to make playing RPGs incompatible with casual gaming, or finishing a game quickly.  |

Not that many sidequests in the Shadowhearts series.
About one per character in addition to whatever sort of collection activity a character may have (not all chars have collections, but SH3 has more collection stuff than the others). The side quests are usually very well done (ie full additional dungeons) and tend to add a great deal to the characters. However, some are also incredibly hard to find unless you're psychic. Gamefaqs ftw. It's not the number or length that's going to do me in, the story just isn't compelling enough for me to flesh it out more than the basic plot. |

Finding mushrooms in the woods 2 weeks ago, failing at growing vegetables and hearing cicadas made me start playing Harvest Moon again.

Sigma is a mathematical notation for sum. They might have called it Super Lotsa Added Stuff Ninja Gaiden - Extended Weapons, but SLASNG'EW is not a good acronym. |

My 360 decided to break. I got back from my trip, wanted to play some Viva Pinata, repeated crashing and red rings of death occurred. There were no Elites to be found. So I bought a core system, and swapped the HD over.
But played Viva Pinata. Got a dragon egg. Hatched him on cracked earth.

Phildo, most fans are merely expecting "Ninja Gaiden 2." I realize it's not as sexy as Ninja Gaiden 2ΠR but sometimes you take what you can get.

Well, I ditched EQ2 again. Not even dark fae could keep me there. Which would shock most people who know me very well. If there is one thing that could really grab me and keep me, it SHOULD be dark fae ~sigh~
DATH'REMAR! Still having a blast in WOW. Love playing my hunter. Coworkers paladengineer should be ready for VC soon, and I can help run him through it. He finally got bored of priest levelling speed. Yes, I realize the irony of him changing to paladin. Tried to warn him, but to no avail. Boyfriend still slowly levelling his 'lock. Should be able to 3-way through VC with some luck.
Oh, stopped playing LOTRO. It just can't hold my interest. It's ok. It just doesn't make me horny, baby.
I would be beta'ing TR, but it keeps CTDing. Can't test if you can't play.
Some sporadic Dark Crusade on the side, too. Love the Risklike map conqueroring. WAAAAAAAAAGH!
And I just stole Overlord. We'll see if the game works better than the demo.
DATH'REMAR. Ok, I'm done.

Interesting piece of trivia: most Koreans have no concept of sarcasm. They don't use it, and they don't understand it unless you explain it carefully each time. It has made a few of my classes quite...bizarre.
Edit: Also, DATH'REMAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny, but no.
There is a subtle difference between "blank asian expression" and "i don't know what you're talking about".
