Chops

The Castlevania series is great set of games, as long as you don't take into account the 3D ones. Castlevania proved that not every game needs to be brought into 3D.

Yeah, I recently heard about a new Street Fighter movie in the works to coincide with the games 20th anniversary. Hopefully it lives up to the prestige set by the first one.

You got to love Nintendo's reluctance to go region free.

Yiazmat may have 50 million+ health points but Omega mark requires you entire party to be maxed out before even attempting to get your ass kicked. The thing is, is that niether of these bosses is hard, just time consuming. With the right gambits of reverse and decoy set up, you can easily topple every monster in the game. The problem is that, outside of espers and concurrences, the most damage you can do is 9,999. If we round that up to 10,000, it would take you roughly 1,100+ hits to take down Omega's 11 million HP. That's well over 5,000 hits for Yiazmat. After spending hours on Omega and then more time on the Hell Wyrm, I just lost interest in fighting anymore. Zodiark is a waste, just like every other esper in the game. If you trigger his final attack, he does 60,000, which isn't worth using all your MP, in my opinion. In fact I went though the whole game without using the espers. They are a waste of your MP and rarely bring much to the battle that your own characters can't do better.

It's pretty obvious Optimus was on Trick My Truck.

Just curious, has anyone else tried to fight Yiazmat and his 50 million+ health points?

Actually, in early stages of the game, Vaan character looked completely different. He used to have a very "masculine" look, however, Square decided to change his look to feminine to connect with their target age-group market in Japan, the J-Pop scene.

It's amazing how much people take X-Box live for granted, and yet neither Sony or Nintendo can get it right.

Top 10 PS3 complaints Top 10 Wii complaints I was curious to see if anyone on the site that owns one of the two systems agrees with these complaints.

That is such an awesome show. The one where Bloo opens his own house is probably one of my favorite 30 minutes of television ever.

I was being a little sarcastic in that post. That site is a corporate site, which means it's under regulations. If Sony misrepresents one number on that site they are open to a plethora of lawsuits from their shareholders, investors, consumer watchdog groups, and investment groups. To devalue the information just because it is a Sony site, which you said, was why I sacastically said "fanboy".

Spoken like a true fanboy.

I was just at Target, and there it is only 60 bucks, so if you want to get it for less you should go there.

If you read through the whole Nintendo Financial Report you see just how dependent they are on the success of the Wii. They're almost at Sega's level of make-or-break time.

In corporate sales figures a unit shipped is a unit sold.

I've always wondered that too. The latest sales figures put the PSP 4 million units behind the DS in worldwide sales, which isn't that bad. I think we all can agree that the DS is the current leader in the handheld market, but the PSP is far from a flop or failure that most people peg it to be. Where did you get that information? I find it hard to believe the DS is only beating the PSP by four million units. From each of the respective companies corporate webpages addressing their earnings. Nintendo lists total units shipped at 26.82 million. Sony lists total units shipped at 22.94 million.

The thing about colleges is that most of the classes are so big that the teachers don't know the individual students. It wouldn't surprise me if the kid didn't even belong in the class and doesn't have to worry about any reprecussions.

Ha, I've actually shopped there before.

Great read as always. I know you meant focused more on the movie aspects and contributions of his works, but another paragraph to flesh out his literature achievments would have been nice.

I still find it funny that one of G4Tech TV didn't even know enough about her own computer to keep her tits of the internet.

Ha, Jim bringing the unfounded hate. Since this is purely a hypothetical question, I'm going to assume that the respective companies delivered on each of their promises, and if that happenend Sony is out far as the winner. However, that is a big if.

Bumblebee still depresses me.

I pretty much have to agree with James' sentiments. Xenogears has just an absolutely beautiful score.
