Suikoden III - first impressions
Well - FInally. After looking for over 6 months, I scored this little rarity. Games that are 7 or more years old are getting really hard to find [ I do not do eBay or the like ]. Basically I have...
Well . .... what an excellent anime series. Long - 112 eps, so there was a chance for great character development and interaction. There was pretty much no filler nonsense. All eps were on track...
Hardly worth a blog entry, but there is nowhere else to rant since customer service has pretty much ceased to exist. I was working on getting my tag emblem increased but now it seems as though...
Wow . . ... who'da thought. I've been with my wonderful wife for 17 years now. What a trip. The first few were pretty rough with barely two nickels to rub together from week to week but our...
So sweeeet - the Time Capsule is now running and we have network. So now we don't have to fight over a single computer anymore. We can both surf or work simultaneously and no more conflict. 8) . I...
So I noticed that CBS now seems to own GameSpot and all associated materials - I wonder what that will do to site content. I also notice that if you use Firefox and Adblock Plus, your User...
So it's here - our new gadget. I must say it is pretty nice. Makes Wintel laptops look downright clunky in comparison. Now just gotta set up a wireless network and we're laughing. Picked up Star...
Well yesterday morning I officially became a Gitaroo Man and thus was Flicky no more. :) It seems that if you do nothing other than browse the site you gain about 2% a day, whereas if you make...
So OK - I'm gonna start here and you're gonna say 'WTH is he talkin' about?' - I'll get there. So anyways - it's been about 15 months since our basement flooded. And I mean flooded. EVERYthing...
Wow - that was satisfying. Good things DO come to those who wait. Watched first season of Black Lagoon two years ago - one of my fave series ever. Been dying to see how it ends ever since. Then...
Well I tell ya - it's hard to choose what to watch when you practically have an anime store in your basement. So much good stuff to watch, so many awesome games to play, so little time. Priorities...
Well - I am getting pretty steamed right about now. This movie was supposed to release February 24th. Oh, no wait - make that March 24th. Well that has also come and gone and no Akira. I have it...
. . . STILL just as fun now as it was 7 years ago. J&D was the first game I ever played on PS2. I played it, I loved it, I beat it (all 101 orbs), I traded it . . .. I regretted that last bit ....
Well I started the whole SSX series at SSX 3. Love that game - sick tricks and wild speed. DTS sound, anamorphic widescreen, progressive scan, wicked replays - BEST snowboarding game ever (IMOHO)....
Well yesterday was a beautiful spring day - sun shining, warm - about 16 C. So out came all the deck furniture from the basement and the BBQ got cleaned, scrubbed, and ready to go. Just had to...
Yes indeed - patience IS a virtue. Maybe one of the only ones I have . . . or I am just obsessively persistent when I get a bee in my bonnet. Managed to get hold of FF X, Champions: Return to...
muhahahaha ! So there - good things DO come to those who wait. Been looking for this for 2 months. Finally snagged it used - mint - for $15 - sweeeet. Now I just have to find about . . .... ummmm...
Well here's an interesting thing to consider - console game type demographics by region. We basically have NA, Europe, and Asia as gaming regions. Now it's interesting to me that I am in NA and...
What an utter disappointment. Legend and Anniversary revitalized the TR series and were especially excellent on the PS2 in spite of itself. I have loved TR since the first PC game came out in '96....
Wow . .... in its fading days, I have finally realized that the PS2 has sooo much to offer on the RPG front. I remember back in the day all of the great SSI D&D RPGs that I played and loved - Pool...
