Why does it cost so much just to play an older game- i just wanna play Persona 3. I can get the game on PS2 for $20 but then I have to buy a PS2, and for some reason people are only listing these rare ones for $800, I just want to play P3
So I decide I’ll get it on PSP, gotta get a psp first. PSP is like $20, sweet. But now I can’t get Persona 3 ON the PSP unless I want to sell my soul and all of my savings

If you guys ever feel like your friends are letdowns, just remember that Sheen's friends never bothered to look for him after he was stranded on a planet.
I thought it was because he stole Jimmy's rocket and he needed to build a new one. He's just taking his sweet time to teach Sheen a lesson.

I like to think that Jimmy feels slightly guilty for leaving his lab unlocked and his rocket unguarded, and he has no idea where Zenu is so he just launched some probes to find him but they have no idea where he went so they have to cover the entire galaxy, which takes a while.

How much does a Vita go for these days? I'd recommend getting one if possible. The Vita has all 5 old Persona games available (Persona 2: Innocent Sin being the PSP remake, while Eternal Punishment is the old PS1 version), as well as P3/4/5 Dancing if you care for them. That's 8 Persona games on a single console. Also P4G regularly goes on sale for below $10, in fact it's $8 right now.

The only thing you'd miss out on is The Answer from Persona 3 FES, an epilogue that's exclusive to the PS2 version, though the PSP one has a new, alternate story with a female protagonist. As a result there really isn't a definitive version of Persona 3, as every version is missing something. Also be aware that Persona 3 (PS2) doesn't let you control your teammates in battle, that feature was added in the PSP remake, not sure how important that is to you.

Sorry for the info dump, I tend to ramble when it's something I'm passionate about.

Bust some wolves with Terrance.
That's what I did at the Nintendo tourney but I got my ass blasted by YoseFu. Have you ever played the best Simon I've witnessed on this planet? I can barely pull off his angled aerials and this man's over here comboing me with them.

The Ben 10 reboot starting alien lineup could've been more of an interesting mix-up of OG and AF/UA-era aliens:

1. Humungousaur
2. Diamondhead
3. Heatblast
4. Wildvine
5. Brainstorm
6. Ghostfreak
7. Echo Echo
8. Water Hazard
9. Stinkfly
10. XLR8

I tried to include some powerset variety in this lineup to make each alien cover a specific niche, so there's little to no ability overlap. Crazy-fast speed and mobility with XLR8, Massive musclepower and size with Humungousaur, etc, etc.

I honestly would have preferred an entirely new lineup of transformations. To help give the reboot a more unique identity.

Also, the reboot needs better names for it's new transformations. Slapback is admittedly more clever then it seems on the surface level (A "slapback" is also a kind of doubling echo with relatively long delay between repetitions of the sound, so that the individual echoes can be perceived) but Shock Rock? Really? And they finally give Ben a Vilgax transformation, something the fans have been BEGGING for since the idea of DNA collection, heck new aliens in general, was introduced. And what do they name it? Friggin Gax. They couldn't be any more clever. It's almost as bad as omniverse just naming an alien "thing they are + impact onomatopoeia)

Pretty sure in the first episode there's literally a sign on the rocket that says "Sheen, don't touch."

New avatar for the first time in a while. Something more energetic looking because I'm also starting to feel better again.

Thanks! I’ll make sure to check this out. A Vita isn’t much cheaper, but if I can play all of those Persona games on it then i’m definitely going to consider it most. Also, thanks for the advice! I don’t really mind not controlling my teammates, I don’t think it should affect gameplay too too much.

Not being able to control your party in a single player RPG is actually the worst.

You know that there's more that he could have done to make sure sheen couldn't do anything with it. Like, lock his doors. Not have fuel in the tank. Require more to launching it then pressing a single button. For a boy genius, that was sloppy design.

About that, while I haven't played Persona 3 (PS2) myself, I've heard some stories about the AI, to the point it even became a small meme. Though as I said, I don't have any experience with it, so take it with a pinch of salt. Tagging osby osby here who might be able to give a better assessment.

I could see something like that being shown there.



Well here is what I predict will be shown at the virtualised San Diego Comic-con event depending if they will have a panel there:

Marvel Studios:
  • Possible first trailer of the Eternals.
  • Concept art and further casting news of Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings.
  • Possibly some news and first trailers for the Falcon & Winter Solider and WandaVision.
  • Further information on the Loki series with further casting news.
  • The formal announcement of Sam Raimi as the new director of Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
  • Casting news for Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk and Moon Knight.
  • Unveil further Disney+ shows and unannounced Phase 4 films.
DCEU:
  • Possible first trailer of James Gunn's Suicide Squad film.
  • Further details of Matt Reeve's Batman film.
Ronda Rousey bout to be casted as She-Hulk y'all (not even Jennifer...just She-Hulk)

Ass Blaster 3000 to 9000 never to be available

Jimmy is still on that Nickelodeon payroll, so he probably doesn't care

I hope not. If the Expendables 3 and one of the Fast and Furious movies (7?) are any indication, I'm not sure how well she would fit the role. I'm not overly familiar with She-Hulk, but by my understanding, she was like Deadpool before Deadpool - far more light-hearted than her cousin, and aware of the fourth wall to some degree.

Actually, the AI in the P3 FES is pretty good aside from a few oversights (like how much Mitsuru's spams Marin Karin). It kinda boils down to how hard you want your game to be.

Without being able to control your party, the game has a bigger focus on managing the party combinations, equipment, your own Persona, etc. You have to be a lot more careful and there will be a lot of cheap deaths caused by your team members picking the wrong option at the wrong time. Portable is a breeze compared to that.

Overall, go with Portable if you don't want to deal with the game's BS but I know more than a few people who enjoy the challenge and speed of FES.

Say @JDCabrera, have you ever heard of Professor Thorgi? He's done some great comic book content on his Youtube channel that's worth checking out.

Thanks for that overview, figured it's best to tag you, And yeah, I was specifically referring to Marin Karin with "small meme".

This is the shortest video I could find of him playing. The Toon Link really kinda sucks but YoseFu is like, one step ahead of me. I'm nowhere near strong enough to fight people like Samsora (YoseFu fought him and almost got him in a match), but I ain't strong enough to fight this man either.

I'm just there. I don't play the game competitively in the sense that I'm training, I'm just kinda good enough to be in the "above average" category I guess.

Personally I don't feel Ronda Rousey would make a good She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters. Alison Brie is still my choice for the role.

What would make this picture even more perfect is having Lucas in there.

The perfect family. Ever considered doing drawings of that? Mother (:ultrosalina:)-Son (:ultlucas:)-Father (:ultridley:) moments? I'd love to see that.
That's not part of my work/art involving Ridley and Rosalina, so it's not something I'm interested in drawing, honestly. Sorry!

Still wondering how that first stock happened.

But speaking of Smash, I play it so rarely nowadays that I simply can't be bothered to learn the more technical characters, otherwise I'd totally pick up Richter among others. Right now I'm mostly sticking with more straightforward characters, like Falcon, Incineroar and solo Trainer with either Ivysaur or Charizard (I still miss Rock Smash and the Dragon Rush custom). Sometimes Zelda, too, who I've been maining since late Brawl/early Smash 4, so there's still some muscle memory left.

I'd totally pick up Inkling, Belmont, Terry or Joker otherwise. Maybe also Pokemon Trainer as a whole, though Squirtle never clicked with me.

she's also a lawyer and quite the player
Please no, I understand she may have the body type for it, but her actual acting ability leaves much to be desired to put it nicely.
thats why she wouldn't be talking...or if they wouldn't dub over her they could just edit her voice around and stuff
