All kinds of nerdery! orz

→ Jesus, would you look at the list of issues that are part of Dark Reign. How the hell is anyone supposed to keep track of that?

→ Okay, IGN, you go to hell for getting my hopes up like that. I mean, I would be first in line to get that game, but I don't really think it'll happen. Everyone who plays it loved it, but actually getting people to

Oh, don't worry, you'll get more Flora! Me and my brother have been playing it since it came out on Monday and it's so much love! We have been waiting since the first one for this so it's so nice to finally have it here! ^^ Now, if only the release date for Scribblenauts will hurry up and get here sooner...

[beckerbell]

She eventually shows up then? Excellent! I was sort of worried we wouldn't see any of her, since she's hardly even been mentioned and I wasn't sure how much they were trying to recreate the feel of the original, right down to a lack of her presence.

Oh, my god, the wait between games drives me crazy. Two years between the games! If they were working on 2 and 3 at the same time, I guess that's acceptable, but for a translation (admittedly, they have to make up some new puzzles since some just don't translate) it shouldn't take that long! If we have to wait that long for game 3 and then game 4, I'm not sure my interest will last that long. (Though, MOVIE AT THE END OF THE YEAR DO WANT OMG.)

--should I be champing at the bit for Scribblenauts, too, then? :x

[sherryillk]

I know! It's so sad they didn't think the first game did well enough to release the second one in a timely fashion. That's what makes me scared for rest of them and whether or not they'll ever be released.

And hey, everyone else is pretty much psyched for Scribblenauts so you might as well join the crowd. I'm just scared I won't have enough imagination to do the game justice.

[beckerbell]

Is that what the holdup was? I thought all the reviews seemed to think it was a great game! But I guess that doesn't really translate well into sales--one only need to look at Okami for that. (Why must I like these obscure games so much?) I hate it when they don't release games in English that I really, really want--TALES OF HEARTS, I AM LOOKING AT YOU.

I'll probably give it a shot then, I'm super easy for peer pressure games. XDDD

[joyeuxnoel]

Oh good! You found the Okami article. I was just about to link you. :D

[beckerbell]

Part of me really desperately wants it to be true. But most of me really knows it's not going to ever happen, no matter how much I want it. ;___;

[joyeuxnoel]

And didn't I tell you about Mouse Guard? Didn't I? :D (I, uh, have a Lieam plushie. I have problems.)

Also. You can't control the Digital Mind Wave (DMW) system in Crisis Core so you can just ignore the slot machine in the corner unless it triggers an event or a buff.

[beckerbell]

You totally told me about Mouse Guard and, hey, it only took me about two months to read it! That's... not bad, considering my usual track record? :D :D :D (I... would totally ♥ one of those, I'm not gonna judge.)

Oh, okay, good. I'm okay so long as I know it's fine to just ignore it unless it gives me something good. I'm not sure what the point of such a thing is, but... well, if it occasionally gives me events or buffs... okay, then. :D

a;lskdjfalsjk oh my god why did you tell me about Arkham Asylum? I KIND OF WANT TO PLAY IT EXCEPT I KNOW IT WOULD TOTALLY MAKE ME VOMIT.

[haeralis]

The only thing I recall that you get for finishing all the sidequests in RW is a special ending, WHICH IS ALWAYS HARD TO GET AND I ALWAYS MISS IT. :< But I want it because apparently it's a special Vaan/Penelo scene, which tugs at my heartstrings something fierce.

[beckerbell]

.....oh shit I hate you for mentioning that now. Okay. Okay. I guess I should probably try for it, because I'm super weak to getting a) extra scenes and b) bragging rights, but, lord, that many hours of level grinding is going to make me want to cry.

EXCEPT IT MIGHT BE WORTH IT FOR VAAN/PENELO, WHY ARE THEY SO RIDICULOUSLY CUTE?

P.S. I love your icon so much. ♥

[haeralis]

YEAH I KNOW I WISH I COULD FIND IT ON YOUTUBE OR SOMETHING BUT NO. |( I hate it when games do that especially when it's MY BIG DAMN OTP

P.S. Best bossfight ever ♥

[beckerbell]

At least it's not as bad as the KHII one. Completing the game on hard mode or getting 100% completion of Jiminy's journal? NO THANK YOU, JFC. This at least is sort of manageable, I hope.

It's a good boss fight then? Not too rage-inducing? I'm always wary of the final boss fight and whether or not it's going to have, like, SEVEN DIFFERENT FORMS, but possibly I've been playing too much Dragon Quest.

[wintersjuly]

Christ, I hope most of you skipped that.

am such a sucker when i'm sick XD

but, i'll watch ncis, the mostly god awful spinoff (THEY TOOK THE DORK OUT OF NCIS. I THINK THAT'S KIND OF MISSING HALF THE POINT OF NCIS. DORK WITH DEPTH, YO) and a few other things with you, and yes, i caved, i went and got a few episodes of leverage and also i really like what i've seen of chuck so far, except that i think i spoiled myself re: bryce and some dude called orion a little so the excitement kind of... flagged a little

(but please tell me there's complicated college fics out there? or at least, wildly unlike aus with sarah the water bender and chuck the avatar (though, he's really sokka in my head, given that when my friend asked about chuck, i basically said that he was sokka, but with more of the awkward but that would stomp all over the sarah/chuck so uh. and that makes casey... toph?! TELL ME THIS EXISTS BECKY)

[beckerbell]

Also, apparently a masochist when you're sick. XD

NCIS... yeah, I'm not as thrilled with it as I used to be, but it still has really great moments and they at least brought the head slapping back a little this season! Chuck... there's some really, really good fic out there, but sadly not any Avatar fusion fics, though, I kind of want it now, damn you.

And don't worry about spoilers. Yes, a lot of the fun was in the surprise, but more fun is in the dialogue. The first half of the first season had them trying to find their groove and you have to remember it's a spy parody show, but pretty soon they start firing on all cylinders and it gets really good and asdlkfjaslkj oh Chuck. I love him so much.

CASEY AS TOPH BRB DYING OF LOL

[wintersjuly]

i am dizzy and sickly and browsing fic. WHY DO I DO THIS

what you have to admit it all fits! also, AVATAR CHUCK. with momo!morgan and like captain awesome!appa! and tang can be the cabbage dude! IT WOULD BE KIND OF AWESOME, Y/Y?

and well, casey and toph would get along like a house on fire. seriously, their lives are SO HARD, why is everyone SO DUMB (AND WHY is casey not allowed to shoot the avatar because lkajdklajda!!2@>?kdfh!)

(oh god, let me watch a few more eps and i might write this myself)

ps. your link to your criminal minds recs page on fleeting fancies takes you to csi instead

[beckerbell]

It's like when you're feeling sick you have to keep doing these things to yourself! STOP THAT.

I'm glad you're enjoying Chuck so far and I shamelessly encourage you to write this, there are at least a handful of us who would understand and you know the rest of the world isn't cool enough to write it~~~

PS: Oh, shoot. But thank you for letting me know! ♥

PPS: SO HOW ARE ~*OTHER THINGS*~ THAT I SENT YOU GOING? *HALO*

[biases]

WANT MIZUSHIMA HIRO + OGURI SHUN DRAMA. I don't care if it's crap, I just want to look at them!

And unf unf unf Untouchable! I want Nakama Yukie to marry Kaname Jun and then Satou Tomohito can have a glorious and yet tragic one-sided love for her and it will be amazing. The cast! It makes me all tingly!

I still haven't finished Liar Game season one because I keep facepalming whenever Toda Erika opens her mouth, but I'll get around to it eventually, and OH MY THE AIBADADDY DRAMA. Yes. *nods*

As an interesting side note, the second Professor Layton game is called Professor Layton and Pandora's Box in Australia. I...don't know why that is.

[beckerbell]

I half expect it to be total crap. You can't have a series with that much pretty and that much of an awesome sounding concept without it having to balance out the awesome somehow. And yet I don't care! I will be imagining Shun/Hiro makeouts the entire time and then possibly makeouts with the female lead in the cast and I'll be happy.

What I really want out of Untouchable is Kaname Jun and Nakama Yukie to be all hot at each other and for me to ship it but I also kind of want to ship Satou Tomohito/Kaname Jun and then also ship an OT3, because holy shit Satou Tomohito/Kaname Jun/Nakama Yukie might just be the hottest thing I've ever seen. That cast, I just-- asdl;fjaslkffffffffff the hotness is going to melt my brain
