It's a grid based strategy RPG, ala FF Tactics or Tactics Ogre. I hear it's alittle more traditional that other Dept. Heaven games, which is what has the critics bored with it. From what I understand, the special features that distinguish it from other traditional tactics games are the ability to cause (or get hit…

Yep. Out today. And Growlanser is at the end of July. It's a good Summer to be an RPG enthusiast with a PSP.

Anyone picking up Gungnir today? I'm definitely getting it out of a dedication to Sting and the Dept. Heaven series . . . but reviews have not been kind. Oh well . . . it'll at least be stylish. I can't be the only person out there who is madly in love with Sting's menus and sound design. So pretty . . .

Unless you're not a fan of Contra, you really oughta at least give Hardcore: Uprising a try. It's fine-tuned entry in the series with beautiful high-def 2D characters from the same developers as Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. There's also a pretty great ability system that encourages replay. It's an oldschool treat with a…

I tend to get freaked out by time limits too. Their mere presence freaks me out and has a major negative impact on my gameplay. The time limit is the #1 thing that turned me off from the first Pikmin game. Luckily #2 does away with that for the most part. It's got all the first game's strengths, as well as it's own…

Very cool. Your Bitcoon character is super stylish. I'll take a more in-depth look at things when I get home from work tonight. I'll also give you the link to my DA page:

You're very welcome. But there's really no need to thank me. I just try to be level-headed about everything. I grew up loving Sonic and Starfox, and and damn-near worshipping films like Disney's Robin Hood and The Great Mouse Detective, so acceptance, and even love of the Furry & Anthro communities seems perfectly…

I don't automatically attach negative connotation to furry art at all. I think anthro art can be excellent, imaginative, and (perhaps most importantly) cute as hell. I think alot of people are unable to separate the entirety of the Furry or Anthro communities from the slightly more bizarre sex-oriented subsection of…

Haha I wish he did! Seriously though, the adorable mouse-like people remind me of characters from the Fievel films, and Secret of Nimh bigtime.

And it's super Furry too.

It turns out that he wouldn't be much of a very good movie director either, given his loose approach to narrative. I find this article particularly alarming:

I couldn't agree more. As a childless adult, I even want to get involved with it because it so perfectly encapsulates the sort of toy/game I could only dream of as a kid. The game combines toys and video games . . . my two greatest loves.

That's not Spyro, its Cynder.

They will be adding afew new standard sized figures. They are also releasing new figures of the original set with new poses and light-up features (like the Giants have). The original figures will be fully compatible with the new game. You won't have to buy another 30 or so guys like you did the first time, unless you…

Did you go to Brock?

I have not played, unfortunately. The critical response to it was pretty good though.

I've only ever used the Templar, as a Wizard, he's super useful to me as a damage sponge, and his healing comes in super handy for solo play.

Are you thinking of Binary Domain?

According to my wife, this is what she sees when she looks at me.

Exactly. It's a really arbitrary system, and contributions and seniority mean little. It's all about being noticed at the right time by the right person. I've been a member here since before the star system existed, and I don't have one. Meanwhile, I made 1 comment on Jalopnik afew months ago . . . it was my first…
