This will mean nothing to almost everyone here, but I've got these, to perfectly match with the other two I already have.

That's basically it. Get the girls drunk and get them to reveal that they're actually psychotic bitches with personality disorders. That's been my experience so far. I can see the appeal of this game and I can see what they were trying to do, bu I can also see that they tried really hard to make this a game in the first place. I'm sure one of the developers at Tamsoft was sitting there at one point going "right, we have good animation with dancing chicks. Now let's add something the player can do. Uh.."

It's chaos;head noah and it's CERO Z because of shit like this:

And that's just stuff from the PC version. The 360 version has things like this (massive spoilers)

HOhUN.jpg

So it's understandably CERO Z. Even though there's no naked scenes and this is technically not an eroge, because those aren't going to see the light of day on consoles, there's still a significant amount of gore and content to push it over the edge. I especially like how lazy they are in making their CGs.

This is totally not a barely photoshopped camera shot, right guys?
Yeah I shouldn't have asked.. I didn't know you were into stuff like guro, lol.

I think that photoshopped pic is what most developers are doing - it's easier to just take a picture with a camera and add swirly effects instead of drawing a supermarket or area. So long as they don't break any copyright boundaries (which did happen).

That isn't guro. It's just some gorey scenes.

I can't stand guro. I think it's a horrible fetish, but some people really want to jerk into some anime chick's intestines. Let them. Just keep it away from me.

Isn't nice of SCEI to implement auto-voltage switching capability in the PS3? It automatically switches from 100v-120v to 240v regardless of what country you're in. Just get the right matching A/C adapter and it's all gravy once plugged in and fired up. So no need for one of those bulky step-down voltage convertors (like with the PSX, PSone and the PS2). ^_~

The Gladiator pcb imo one of the sweetest side scrolling beat em ups around! really love the music and design of the bosses/enemies add so many crazy combos and a 4 player option and this game does not dissappoint!

The company was AGP Couriers in Birmingham. The damage includes: paint chip to panel, 2 small dents to right side, one which chipped the t-mould, front metal trim ripped off the wood (see the top where the screw holes /were/), damaged monitor chassis shelf with a whole chunk of wood broken out of it, broken monitor neck. I've been talking to the consumer advice people and they've sent me a template letter, the company only offered me the money I paid for the cab back, NOT the shipping, AND they wanted to take the cab back for 'insurance reasons'. Apparently this is against a law from 1982 and I should be able to demand full repair costs from them, and taken them to small claims court if I have to.
A few of you might remember the sorry tale of my new cab that got badly damaged. Nearly finished now. Just missing locks for the front and back doors (on both)

Image

I guess it's time to look for a third one now.

Also bought a new camera since my old one had lasted 8 years!

Image

It's a Nikon D5000, one of their entry level SLR series but it seems to be a great performer. Of course I needed a bag and a zoom lens so I bought those too - the zoom is a 70-300 so you can see quite a long way.

Then I took my girlfriend and sister to the zoo for a day, we wanted to see the baby elephant at Whipsnade:

Yup, I've got two of them - one is for sale.

I saw you got the full Oriental Legend 2 kit - nice! I bought one when they first came out, never tried the card readers but I think some things unlock over time or through play and get saved to the cards. I keep the board on the shelf and put all the kit contents in the board/basic kit box, that one comes with SO much 'stuff'.

Yea the card readers are for saving your character and their items and level, the game is huge and the best $500 I ever spent :mrgreen: . The game itself is quite tight I think if theres one thing i dont like its the lack of an english option.....I would love to be able to read and understand the story but alas I cant read chinese, so I just rely on translations. I loved the first Oriental legend but they arent on the same level, this is a vast improvement and everything looks so pleasing to the eye, im really impressed with the animation and the sheer displaying of sparkling attacks...everything feels impressive. I suppose in the long run if you like games like dungeons and dragons a side scroller with lots of depth this game will really please.

Rayman, Gaia Seed, Gussun Paradise and Super Star Soldier. Gussun's kicking my ass and I'm remembering slowly why Rayman is considered hard, but I didn't find it hard as a kid at all. Gaia Seed is really easy but I haven't 1cc'd it, mostly because my inpin adapter hasn't arrived so I can't use anything but a PS3 controller. It's torture. Super Star Soldier is also pretty neat, it's the first time I've played it before.

That's on my CRT, just so you know. All games have aged decently if you're using them with the proper setup.
