NoA doesn't want you to buy XenoBlade.

NoE/NoJ wants you to buy the **** out of it.

I also strongly believe that all games that are worth it should be bought so the developer knows what's good.

I've played a lot of RPGs and my favorite game(s) are Fire Emblem for the GC and Wii. Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn respectively. Do both games in normal mode and come back.

I've broken:

Pokemon RBY
Tales of Symphonia
Radiant Dawn

I mean actually broken them.

The difficulty of breaking a Tales of series game is really really easy lol.
Radiant Dawn also isnt hard considering how amazing Ike and Mia is.
And 1st gen Pokemon isnt hard to break at all considering how EVs and IVs work then, and how Psychic was the ****.

Can I strongly recommend doing the former ANYWAYS since it unlocks all kinda nifty stuff like using the GC controller to boot games and the DVD player to play movies?

Also, any suggestions for PORTABLE FE games PRE DS? I need something to play at work.
If there's SNES or NES games that have been translated that are really good, I'd be willing to go through the hoops to get copies of those running too.

My Wii is already hacked. I'm just saying in general they've made it nearly impossible for the average American to play this masterpiece, and it's a damn shame. If it came out in America I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

FE 7 (released as fire emblem in the us) is really good (many put it around the same level as 9), and 6 is as well, though it's one of those "hard mode" releases and you'll need to emulate it. Eight however (released as the sacred stones) is a bit bizarre. They allow grinding on the world map and in dungeons, making the game feel a lot closer to a traditional rpg (and making it the easiest FE by far). I can't really say I approve of it, but if you ignore that component it's a decent title.
If you want to go old school with an emulator, the only one I'd go out of my way for would be four (genealogy of the holy war). The maps are huge, and you can totally breed a second generation of heroes based on the supports you build in the first part of the game.

You and I aren't even speaking the same language.

I have a character in Radiant Dawn that literally can't die.
I have a character in Tales of Symphonia that literally can't take damage.
I have a team in RBY where you literally cannot damage any of the pokemon.

I'm the reason nintendo tournaments have a "species clause".

A friend of mine also raves about Xenoblade quite a lot. Might have to check that out.

The Ogre Battle series is also a nice alternative to FE if you're looking for a similar Strategy RPG. Specifically the SNES Version (March of the Black Queen)... wasn't too keen on the Tactics Ogre sub-series.

Ahh Pokemon RBY... back when the Special Stat was godlike. haha

Tactics Ogre is okay. The PSP Remake is godlike however.

But imo, the best Ogre series game is Ogre Battle 64. Way superior to the SNES original.

Xenoblade is so good wtf.

If so, its this order:

1. Pokemon Soul Silver
2. Final Fantasy VI
3. Kingdom Hearts 2
4. Final Fantasy IX
5. Chrono cross

Anyone find an extra Wii audio/video cable laying around. I seem to not have mine and haven't used it since our big fest.

I don't have yours, but I do have a spare set (multiple spare sets actually). If it doesn't turn up, I'll give you one of mine.

Possibly. I'm open but kinda broke, it'll depend how broke come the weekend.

Oh and I'm gonna pass on smash today - really tired and achy for some reason. I should be open tomorrow though.

Oh Borderlands... you are so good.

Should be available to play LoL if anyone is playing today.

Also, took a look at the wiki for QD and I am starting to put together some thoughts on different things. I'll start adding stuff in hopefully soon.

Cave Story is just a giant **** move. In your face. Over and over again.

Jobs are overrated!

QD and I won't be available for LoL for a while, since we're in Cali right now. If the hotel we're staying at has WiFi though I might be able to jump on late tonight.

Also Ashe is available for free this week. Try her out!

Just tried Cho'gath... I'll leave him to you (didn't help 2 guys quit about 5 minutes in).

Also, I just bought Annie. Ashe was probably next on my list.

Well I'm feeling much better now. Once you know where you guys are playing could I get an address? I'd like to stop by

Master Yi is a ***** to deal with!

LoL servers are basically fried from 1pm to 4pm. The game must be heavily played in Europe. So all those unemployed... take a nap during this time.

Job search goes on and on (and the rejection letters go on and on)...

Yi is a bad character, just make sure to zone him out during the laning phase if he's in your lane, which will be easy if you're playing a ranged character (good Yis will be jungling though for exactly that reason) and focus him down during team fights since as a melee character, he has to throw himself in harm's way to do any damage. The only thing he can do then is destroy towers during team fights, but that leaves you guys at a 5v4 advantage in each team fight and you will be able to press your advantage that much harder.

And yeah expect the LoL servers to be shoddy a lot of times.

Sivir really has no way of dealing with his quickness. I'm moving onto Annie and Ashe but I watched a Master Yi single handedly run down and destroy all our inhibitors because we were battling the other 4 at their base. It completely turned the tide.

Plus, he was just running from lane to lane in the jungle, so he was hard to pick up on.

Now Portal 2, go! You probably can't beat it in one sitting, but a day is definitely doable. Some of the puzzles are quite a bit tougher though.
