Rob showed me some pictures of Colorado last night and I kinda wanted to cry, it was so beautiful. It was really nice. I should make plans to make it out in early-mid-October for costume party or something. I need people to weigh in on this

Sands of time, Warrior within and Two Thrones were all released for PS2. I've played SoT and TT. They ARE

[stardustenigma]

... fun, so enjoy.

[orber123]

Thanks for the info and advice. I'm going to head to GameStop probably later tonight or tomorrow then. Very excited.

I see you skipped Warrior Within. Any special reason?

[stardustenigma]

Nope, just... started with Two Thrones, dunno why, and then wanted more so happened to pick up SoT, and never actually finished that one. The gameplay is basically platformer puzzles, so that you have to figure out where to jump, flip and defy gravity in order to continue to the next area, but the gameplay for both games was so similar that I just got bored of it halfway through SoT. I'd say that TT is better because they fine-tuned the gameplay a bit more, but it's probably better to play them through in order anyway.

[orber123]

Aaaaah...you did the backwards thing. Cool, cool. TT is better gameplay I've heard, but storywise SoT is supposed to be best. So I'll suck at it as long as I can handle it and then maybe get TT. I got SoT really cheap, so that was cool.

Played anything fun recently? Or not? I'm trying to think of good PC games you might be interested in. You could pick up Jade Empire for cheap now. Good Bioware easy RPG. I finished it in basically fourty hours and that's with all sidequests and romantic options. Actually, I skipped a major sidequest. Still though. It's a fun game. And lesbian love affairs! And kung fu!

I don't HAVE a PC anymore. I've got a mac. And a PS2. So tell about good PS2 games you liked! I did get to play Odin Sphere, and now I'm all OMG AMAZINGNESS. So I've been playing FF games. Have you played FFxii? Because, WOW. Balthier and Fran are the BEST.

[orber123]

I didn't play FFXII, but I did watch a lot of the scenes with Tony (watching him play it was super boring, though). I'm not a huge FF fan. Balthier and Fran have that great Han/Chewie vibe (with some sexual tension thrown in for good measure) and they're just great characters. Loved Balthier's lines

[stardustenigma]

You know, I almost bought Okami the other day, but I couldn't remember if THAT was the game you were raving about or something else. God of War is an obsession for me, I'll probably buy a PS3 when God of War 3 comes out. And RE4, too. Leon makes such great eye candy, and there are tentacles everywhere! Shadow of the Colossus was an amazing game, too.

I've also been playing the Ratchet and Clank series, which is all kinds of fun, though I guess I haven't played anything but FFXII for a couple months, because it's such a huge game. I think I had almost 70 hours of gameplay on that.

[stardustenigma]

That'd be awesome of you, thank you. I'll see what I can do about making Rachel cooperate.

[orber123]

Almost forgot: You'd like Ico. Shadow of the Colossus is its spiritual successor.

Also you need an Xbox to play BioShock, Mass Effect, Jade Empire, the Orange Box, and whatever else is coming out. ^_^

! What am I cooperating with?!

The cat hates being brushed. She does enjoy chewing on the bristles, though. But she won't sit still for brushing, and will often stalk/kill the brush if I try. It's okay though, she's a DSH tabby. Her hair doesn't really come off in clumps or anything, so it's not a problem.

[orber123]

I LOVE Okami, and you should totally get it one way or another. I even made Tony give it to me so that he wouldn't sell it back. I couldn't bear the thought of parting with that game
