Also I got my Concealed Carry Permit for Washington. (Blurred out some personal info.)

Congrats, I just got my MN permit.

Puyo Puyo for the MSX 2, got it the other week. Obsolete of course, unlike Tsu - but as it's the very beginning of the series that's okay.

but it's hard not to sound like an asshole when you say "karate" correctly.

Relevant link.

Or here 3:37
There's a better scene where John C. Riley catches himself making the grave error of mispronouncing it... can't find it on YT though.

Yea, "eekaroogah" is right, but I think most people (including myself) say "ickaroogah". Never heard "eyekaroogah" (or "peneyecilin").

It's easy: The accent is on the "ka", and the "ru" is short, not long.

Looks familiar. I started playing Lodoss War for the 2nd time last winter, and like a dip shit triggered the bug! Be careful of that. It's a fun, semi-mindless game.

Which one is the intended pronunciation?

I usually go with Iron Maiden's "Alexander The Great". At 3:00: "king Darius the third, defeated fled Persia".

But the correct, original pronunciation would be something like Dārayava(h)uš.

Dārīus (or Dārēus) is the Latin form of the Greek Dareîos, which is a shortened form of the Old Persian Dārayavauš. The Old Persian form is also seen to have been reflected in the Elamite Da-ri-(y)a-ma-u-iš, Akkadian Da-(a-)ri-ia-(a-)muš, Aramaic dryhwš and archaizing drywhwš, and possibly the longer Greek form Dareiaîos. The translation of his name from Old Persian to English is "holding firm the good", which can be seen by the stem dāraya, meaning "hold", and the adjective vau, meaning "good".

woah, could you elaborate on that? i never heard of any gamebreaking glitches in this game.

It's about halfway through, in the J-version only. There's a really long dungeon (the one where Ashra joins you). There's a Golem statue that 1) you can't inflict damage on until you destroy the 4 statues in the room. 2) Unless you've beaten the boss of the floor (or brought something with you, or something to that effect) you can't inflict damage on him even afterwards. So, if you go into the room w/o the first condition met, the 2nd condition (basically condition 1 met + destroying the statues at the same time) will never be trigger, and you can never get to the next floor.

in Japanese, here

Just remember to have a couple of back up saves in that dungeon. I might try it again. As per before, it's good to play when you're busy as there's not a ton of thinking going on. Not compared to a shooter.

EDIT: It *might* only be in the original version, not the Dorikore version. Caveat: Dorikore version looks just like the original... but is much more common so it's like you got that one. What's the serial number on the spine? Mine is T-27903M, and is original.

i've got the original print as well. thanks for the warning this could have ended bad!

Not as bad as when you actually know about the bug but fucking trigger it anyway. All I said was, "there's 15 hours I'm not getting back". Thing is, even then I had like no time. I was cutting out time of a busy schedule to relax, and wound up stressing the fuss out. It's been almost a year. Maybe I'll give it another go.

Sweet, how is it as a tablet?

Rayxanber = win. Play with a Saturn pad though, heathen!

For starters the tablet is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition.

As a tablet on specs it beats the latest iPad. You can do major multi-tasking on this thing. Screen is currently better than the iPad (great for comics). Video watching is nice in 1080p. Software wise I have to give the edge to Apple. Cave's Android titles doesn't work on this unit (I blame their Social Networking provider than anything else), yet there's plenty of free software for it and so far I only had to pay $10 for apps! Also this thing was like $600 dollars, very pricey for what it is.

The PC Engine emulator for it works quite nicely. There are just a few CD titles with just a weird audio-popping on the CDDA track but hell Rayxanber II + III works nicely on this thing.


Saturn Pads, well I see enough bootleg ones on ebay that I'm very wary of getting one. Want a true feel of the Saturn pad without paying nutjob prices. I'm shocked on how good the D-Pad on this 360 controller. At least for my hands it works quite well for hours.

[Skykid]

Cool, thanks for the lowdown. Good for comics instantly puts it on my tablet shortlist. I wouldn't want one for Cave games though, played them all to death now, and I've really come to appreciate the broader range of functions on Android as opposed to iOS.

Well there's only so much loli action that a straight man can take before going berserk.

Looking to switch over to Traktor, figured this would come in handy to complement my DJ controller for effect, samples, whatever. Scored it for < $40 shipped, great deal.

[Stealthlurker]

WOW that's a sweet haul.

Thanks

Something the postman just dropped off a few mins ago. Canvas print of some old school megaman/rockman action.






Also a couple things I forgot/left out of my previous post today.
