I prefer the nerdy-as-fuck-sounding "Time to go to the Crystatirum!"

Also, I was watching my friend fight the forest boss, and he whittled it down to about a quarter health, and went "If ever there was a time to summon Odin, it's now!" and we both kind of awkwardly coughed at just how goddamn nerdy that sounded.
I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TECH POINTS LEFT TO SUMMON ODIN! I USED THEM ALL ON FUCKING LIBRA SCANS!

In this thread OANST lets everyone know that he is a fucking nerd.

Wow.

Also, FFXII was better than it looked. And it looked like Star Wars with Moogles.

My favourite was VIII. A lot of people hate that, they're all "but the magic system was crazy and exploitable" and I'm all "I just liked the story."

Joe Kucan is coming to the Netherlands tommorow. I might just go there and get an autograph.

For those who have been living under a rock for the past 15 years, Joe Kucan plays Kane in Command & Conquer.

I hated 8.

Granted, I only played it for about four hours before I decided that I never wanted to see it again.

That's a shame, because VIII had the best scene I've ever seen in a computer game.

I'm desperately trying to track down a copy of FFVII for PS1 that isn't overpriced or in shit-condition. It'll always be my favorite, but not the same way as all those other queers queefing, quoting and quarreling over it. For me it's different.

Anyway, I'm playing this:

It's damn addictive, the only medals I'm missing is the 'stomp 100 goombas' one and the 'play for five hours' one.

Trust me, the 2nd half is great. The end isn't quite as fun, if I recall correctly, but the end is nice. The final boss is a bitch, too.

It'd be nice to see different boss', though

You can get it and 8 on the PSP store for like, 15 bucks.

On the PSN for $15AUD each. {I was clarifying that they were also available for PS3, and ensuring that it's understood that they cost $15AUD each} I plan on getting FFVII, MGS and Rayman (which I've never played) soon.

Also, I'm playing crap lots of Quake Live at the moment.

I got the Awakening Expansion for Dragon Age today. A good few hours put in:

It's nowhere near as big as the game, but it's still a very meaty, well-written expansion pack full of some cool characters and drama. It just feels more streamlined, like, you can't engage in elaborate backstory conversation at any time, or romance has been removed. On the other hand, they've really dug up gold with the Amaranthine Commander job, what with fun and politics playing a part.

Also adopt a cat!

I would do this, or even pirate it on PSP, but I don't own one and I'm completely strapped for cash.
If I bought a used PSP it would cost me roughly 83-93$, not accounting for tax.

Understand, however, that if I was in a position to utilize any of the alternatives I would.

Splinter Cell Conviction Demo, from what I played this is one of the few games that is delivering what it set out to do. Still wished it released before Christmas.

On the back of the manual there's an ad that says something like "Playstation 1 Memory Card, Try completing Final Fantasy 7 without it".

I took it as a challenge, failed miserably

Mass Effect is for fucking babies compared to Dragon Age.

Started playing Team Fortress 2 (X360) last night. So fun, but I suck at it at the moment.

Played through C&C 4, both campaigns. As expected EA royally fucked up again. It goes beyond me how you can fuck up a franchise this bad. Gameplay sucks, music sucks, story makes absolutely no sense and the entire C&C feeling has completely vanished. Another one for EA's list of fail.

Also completed AC2, interesting ending though it leaves me wanting for more (and curious as to how the story will continue).

Settlers 7 looks promising.
