I have Xenoblade Chronicles, still haven't started it lol. I'll get on that soon enough.

I am so disappointed in you for not starting sooner.
Trust me when I tell you this game will take A LONG TIME.

Nerds need to mess around with some dot hack and Legend of Dragoon stuff. Also Dark Savior if you have a Saturn it's a interesting RPG.

I always remembered somewhat enjoying SPM but I found the game to be absolutely horrible on replay. It's the kind of game with a decent first impression but is abysmal in terms lasting satisfaction. The one plus I can give to the game is that the story really culminated well in the end. The combat is just doing literally the same thing over and over for 8 chapters (sans like 1 or 2 unique chapters) and it really doesn't help that the level designs in terms of aesthetics do very little to distinguish from each other, which makes the chapter become bland very quickly and almost Metroid 1-nightmare inducing (SO MANY ROOMS LOOK THE SAME). Then there's chapters where I feel like the game is attempting to satirize RPG tropes but forgets to make the game actually fun. "Let's grind for money to pay off a tremendous debt! Oh whoops, that's exactly what you're doing this entire time" (Sup Chapter 2-3). "Let's do pointless amounts of trial-and-error backtracking for a fetch quest in a god damn vertical platforming stage until you find the right fruit!" (You will not be missed, Chapter 7-3).

All I felt after finishing SPM for the second time in several years was contempt and a desire to put the game as far away from me as possible.

But at least it's not Sticker Star where I stopped at Chapter 2-3 and couldn't be motivated to even play it. What a sad game.

The story in SPM was still fantastic. Also, I have a new absurd video for you Donkey Kong lovers!

Did you watch the video I put up? THIS SHALL BE MY NEW TRANSPORTATION
My truck is dead
Also speaking of fantastic shirts, I need to post a picture of my new Roy shirt that was given to me for my birthday, the guy that custom designed it, did a fantastic job.

 

[Gamegenie222]

Folks I need hype songs and such to replace some of my current ones on my SD card for my tournament this Saturday folks throw me some songs. Also I need good replacements for the original songs on Green Hill Zone cause Sonic music is too good and I have a hard time replacing them?

EDIT: I heard Roy shirts I need links?

 

[GP&B]

Dih we even play the same game? I remember it being too easy, but pretty fun. It wasn't very time consuming, and it was super dark for a Mario game, possible even darker than super Mario RPG. I liked that Nintendo took a chance, but I wouldn't want them to do it again. Overall it was a fun, interesting game.

This was a recent playthrough, and my main point is that SPM has no lasting appeal. It doesn't hold up on a second playthrough at all. A lot of the initial enjoyment is lost in the fact that you pick up on a lot of the game's more obvious flaws more immediately (terribly bland area design, extremely annoying sections that the game puts the player through, gameplay does not evolve in any way over the course of the game besides Bowser>everyone). I don't really have any criticisms with the story other than having to deal with boring gameplay to reach it (kind of like bad RPG syndrome). I spent very little time trying to explore Flipside like I would Rogueport because the whole Flip mechanic is tedious and it's not like the game can offer you anything rewarding for doing so in the first place. It's just so weird because I feel like the battle systems in PM and TTYD are incredibly well constructed so I felt that they would have handled a change of pace just as intelligently.

Yeah, I can hammer this game a lot. Guess I'm just surprised how little I wanted to play it once I was actually midway into the game.

Hey I meant to ask you, have you actually finished the game yet? I'm about 50 hours in and am just getting into the Mechon fortress.

RPG TALK HYESS

Right now I'm enjoying Bravely Default. Not too far into it yet, but I'm having the same trouble I had with some of the new DS Dragon Quest games. The lack of actual portraits for the characters bothers me tbh, I have trouble feeling any sort of investment or connection to the characters when the only thing I can thing of to represent them is a bad 3d model.

 

[PhantasyStar]

So I finally started watching Kill la Kill and i'm on episode 12. As someone who's watched Gurren Lagann over 30 times(I haven't recently watched it and i'm due) I really am enjoying it.

 

[Empyrean]

How do you people find enough time to play Pokemon (time-consuming), Project M (obsessively time-consuming), watch animes (fairly time-consuming), play rpgs (EXTREMELY time-consuming) AND cook food, all the while being on Smashboards? I can only do, like, one of those.

I mean, do you guys even job/school?

 

[standardtoaster]

I'll be at the second Minnesota Triweekly on March 2nd and will be streaming it again. We'll try to have things run as fast as possible and have more PM matches on stream.

I'll also be at Eau Claire Sucks at Smash 5 on March 22nd. Featuring players such as Zelgadis and Triple R! Not sure if there will be a stream but I will definitely try to record as much as I can.

You could multi-task your free time and game while watching anime on a secondary unit (TV, computer monitor, laptop).

As for cooking food? Way beyond my comfort zone

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

The next update is just a Hoppip, Skiploom, and Jumpluff away...

 

[| Kailex |]

Yep.

Edit: Im supposed to be studying... Oh well

Don't limit yourself.

I've got school but I leave plenty of time to do everything, whether it be smashboards/other forums + Video games + Anime, all while leaving good time to do homework as well.

 

[Ginge]

As a college student, you only have 12-20 hours a week of classes. And depending on your major, an average of 4-12 hours of homework a week. There is a LOT of down time with college if you don't keep yourself busy with clubs or jobs. Especially if you live on a small campus and don't need to deal with commuting or bus rides.

 

[standardtoaster]

I am horrible with time management. I have the first half of a paper due like a month from now. I just started a small part time job with my dad's client building apps and publishing them. Pays $10/hr and fits my schedule for the most part. Glad I will have a little money coming in but I really need to work on my time management so I don't get behind on schoolwork and other obligations.

I finished the game about a month ago *took 106 hours with both the main game + the extra stuff*. I believe your about half way done the game (although im not 100% sure ). Then again u are getting into the mechon fortress........

 

[QQQQQQQ7777777]

Since I'm homeschooled I can finish all my weeks work in about 4 hours.

How long of a paper?

Build an Android Smash App and give me 10% revenue.

How can I make money off the growing Gaming/Smash community? How do I go about replacing the wonderful music seen in my videos with uninspired royalty free filth so I can get ad-revenue? Or is there another route I can take, like trying to sell shirts with links on each video. I want to sell Smash Hats: Smats.

I'll get it up asap (although I can't promise it'll be soon).

It's a 10 page paper dealing with ethics in computing and engineering. I chose to write on governance of the internet.

A month is a bit of time.

YOU CAN DO IT.

I BELIEVE IN YOU STANDARDTOASTER.

SHOW THEM THAT YOU AREN'T JUST ANOTHER TOASTER.

Hit me up on messenger if you like EDM and Anime music. I'm about done with a music pack right now.

 

[Gamegenie222]

I'm lucky that I haven't wrote a 10 page paper in college yet lol that seems like writers block waiting to happen.

@ Nguz95 What's EDM?

 

[Saito]

WELL, LOOKS LIKE I'M BUYING THIS GAME.

 

[standardtoaster]

i'm sure i can get it done just fine. i'm just lazy as hell and i need to nip it in the bud as soon as possible so it doesn't hurt me later on :[

 

[CyberZixx]

I am bad at smash DI, I never really intent to do it. I wanna practice it to be less free to things like Mario's downthrow combos.

 

[HyperrCrow]

I am so disappointed in you for not starting sooner.
Trust me when I tell you this game will take A LONG TIME.

That's the number one reason I haven't started it yet lol
My schedule is pretty tight and won't allow for it too much. I have classes every day of the week, have to handle homework, work on weekends and be mentored so I make sure to learn my course material since college professors suck a lot these days. I'm also becoming a TO for the Boston smash scene, so there's that.
The little time I get to myself I usually spend watching anime, drawing or going out with friends. Long RPG's are my last priority until the summer.

 

[Vashimus]

I gotta pick up Bravely Default fairly soon. I'm a sucker for traditional class-based RPGs. Taking advantage of each member's unique traits to make a balanced party and the idea of working best with who I have...it just makes sense.

That's probably the major reason why I like FF4 and 9 more than 6 and 7. Call me old-fashioned, but only mage-like characters should be able to use magic. Seeing a buff-ass monk breaking out healing spells is just ridiculous to me.

 

[TreK]

On the topic of time management.
I've started this new years resolution to kill my VERY bad procrastination habits. What I do is I plan everything ahead and create events for everything on my smartphone's agenda and try as much as possible not to ignore it. In example, every week day I've defaulted "class from 8am to 6pm", "dinner from 7.30pm to 8.30pm", and various stuff like Smash on monday, workout on tuesday, etc...
But there is a catch. In order for that to work, I have also made sure that I would spend 20mn per day thinking about and modifying my schedule. In example, I don't have that much school, that's the worst case scenario that happens 10 times in a year. So every day, I look at what classes I have the next day, and it gives me holes to fill with more stuff to do. I can also use this time to plan long term stuff (holidays, week ends, new routines, ...) I also make sure I have at least 2 hours of leisure time a day so that I don't feel overworked. Plus some of my classes feel like leisure time.
It has been a huge success so far. I've started 3 projects, and I'm nearing completion on two of them, and as soon as they end I'm starting to look for a summer job (and there's this plan to study for one year in another country that I should probably look into). Grades have never been higher and I'm starting to lose the weight I've gained by working at McDonald's last year. I've had the best results in Smash of my career in the past two months, too.

I don't know if it works for everyone, but if you feel like trying...

 

[Oro?!]

Any character can perform any job as a main function, and use any secondary job traits as well. There are only slight differences between characters stats in BD. @ Vashimus

 

[Vashimus]

So basically like FF5's job system. Which is awesome.

 

[Comeback Kid]

I got Liberation Maiden because it was on sale.

Please don't judge me.

Oh and I forgot to mention the Roy shirt I own is custom, if you wanted another designed shirt from the guy you'd probably have to commission him for the work.

Are those royalty free?

 

[RPGsFTW]

Yo, dudes. A few days ago on Sunday we had a big crew battle going down, a $100 money match, and some other hype stuff. The crew battle was the PM players vs the Melee players in PM. I was the first to play on PM's side and it was super hyped. I think I actually took the most stocks overall, so you dudes should check this out. They consistently spell any name I have ever wrong though. PurpleJetskis!
