Gleam of Force
Aka GOF2.
LOL at this game.
The level of polish is insanely high, but of course all the characters are Namikai style along with this weird ass disembodied Rumble Fish limb type deal.
Uncanny valley at its finest!
Anyway, defense is at least 50%, if not 80% of this game, so I'm pretty bad right now, as block is not back, but a separate button, which I almost NEVER PRESS.
I'm just mashing my combos and then getting fierced in the face right through them :3

Comiket 74 and Super Battle Opera 08
Tougeki 2008 Results
SBO "live feed" this year was pretty ass.
They show one real match, then old footage for like hours, repeat once per game.
No finals or anything.
I have to admit seeing Denpa lose was sort of satisfying -_-.
At least Kubo finally won MBAC, he deserved it.
Efute aka scrub May Dogura NOtoko won GGAC
HENVOKE!!!!!?!?!?! won AH2 using Lilica (wow what happened to all the Yorikos, Catherines, Clarices, Sakis, and Zenias? Lilica is nothing compared to what those broke characters have)
Tekken was won by Anna, Roger Jr., and Bob.
You can read the rest of the results for yourself, I don't really know the people playing the games besides AH2, MBAC, and GGAC.
As for C74, tons of amusing stuff is coming out, but for some reason I'm finding myself liking Fuuka Taisen.
I've never even watched Mai Hime or Mai Otome but the characters have a lol charm.
Messed around with Sora, I still suck at shooters.
I'll put up a vid of me mashing through Level 1 soon.

Otakon
Stuff happened.
I bought 3 volumes of real Persona 3 manga and one gag volume.
Then I bought 2 volumes of Disgaea 2 manga.
Then I completely fagged out and bought Little Witch's "Girls" and Itou Noizi's "FTW", which together totaled over $100, thus breaking any vows I had not to overspend at Otakon.
In short, I'm pretty pleased with everything I bought except "Girls," which basically only contained rehashed promotional artwork.
Booooo.
Jam Project didn't have a backup band, so it was a tad disappointing with all the pre-recorded instrumentals.
Then midway they pulled out acoustic guitars and their own drums and played the Scrapped Princess opening.
That was pretty amazing.
Actually screw it Jam Project in general was pretty amazing.
Touhou Panel.
Uh.
Ahahaha.
"Now you have fucked up!"
Anyway I took very few pictures as usual this year, cause my standards are too high and other random shit.
Or I didn't have memory, take your excuse of choice.
Some pictures are on my laptop, like a ridiculously awesome Aegis, I'll get those later.
One of many TF2 cosplayers. MEDIC!
The lighting's sort of bad but this was a very impressive Aegis cosplay, probably the only Persona 3 cosplay I reallyliked at the entire con.
A very nice Velvet from Odin Sphere.
Man Wriggle is for Benny1.
A big daddy from Bioshock. Wouldn't want to meet one of these things at night.
The Monarch and Doctor Girlfriend.
Cute Reimu blinked.
Sorry for the blurry shot, but that afro samurai is the REAL DEAL.
The Tetsuo baby from Akira. Nightmares forever.
Meroko from "WHAT'S FMOS?"
VAkiha. I heard Lord Knight got her number like the clown he is.

Persona 4 Post-Impressions
So I took down the final true boss and beat the game.
Impressions.
First things first, the ability to control all your teammates instantly made the game 10x more enjoyable.
Instead of your fucking dipshit teammates doing the wrong moves over and over it's now entirely your fault if you choose the wrong thing to do.
In battle the focus of the game has shifted away from MC hacks.
You can no longer equip all weapons in the game.
Because of the free heals in P3, running Tartarus generally became the MC one more turning every single encounter while his teammates had no turns.
Boss fights generally became the MC healing everyone and hoping they wouldn't screw up.
P4's change of making SP precious and no free healing or teleports changed this.
The scarcity of SP and the fact there were no teleports meant the MC could not happily blow through all his SP one more turning entire encounters.
In addition, to counteract the fact you can now control your entire party, P4 threw mixed enemy teams at you a LOT.
This happened rarely in P3.
These enemy teams weren't just randomly grouped either, they would have abilities that helped each other.
For example a group of four reflect physical beetles and a single mage that could cast mass berserk on your party, thus having you kill yourself.
Using your teammates to their fullest effect was required to get through a dungeon in halfway decent shape.
The difficulty felt greatly improved/increased, I did not feel it was a P3 FES hard mode "bullshit difficulty" but rather a "real difficulty."
They gave you quite a lot of options to avoid bullshit OHKOs from light/death/random critical hits.
In terms of characters...
Hm this is a hard one.
In Persona 3, I didn't really have a clear favorite, and eventually came to like them all.
Except for Ken.
Poor Ken hahaha.
In Persona 4, there was a clear favorite from the get-go, so while I was completely veering toward that one character I probably have given the others less thought.
That character for me was Yukiko.
Yamato Nadesico except with a lot of quirks and a mean streak along with great deadpan lines.
I admit because I was too busy fawning over her I probably don't appreciate the others as much as I could have.
I do find Yousuke awesome though, better than Junpei.
Chie is a great character, but a lot of it lies in her chemistry with Yousuke and Yukiko, not exactly in herself.
I find Kanji personally hilarious from his initial shadow self to his ability to make stuffed animals.
Rise is...:V She's ok when she talks normally, but the second she becomes happy or in battle you get that high-pitched Kugumiya Rie whine that completely annoys me.
Naoto is...a wasted oppurtunity, I feel.
Quite an interesting backstory and such but you get her so late in the game, and unlike say your earlier characters who do show some personality change she remains the same.
One could argue that's what her commu is for but meh.
Story is a lot smaller in scale I feel, but I think that reflects the focus this time around on Japanese mythology/Shintoism/country backwater (lol).
I'm still trying to figure out why the criminal acted the way he did though...to the point of even going back over the scenes with a dictionary.
Like was it just ennui?
Really?
Come on here...
Maybe you can argue some philosophical bullshit angle like path of Zen or something, I don't know.

Persona 4 - I love this game.
The way the Ou-sama game works is sort of like a Japanese truth or dare deal.
You basically draw straws or what not, the red straw becomes the king.
Everyone else gets hidden numbers.
Then you basically say, "Number 4, hug number 2," or something to that effect.
In this case, drunken Yukiko and Rise call out the four "orders" before the drawing commences.

Arcana Heart 2.2
Balance changes and a new character!
Looks like some cat girl thing riding a huge wolf thing with a bird.
Nakoruru?
Who knows.
Thursday, July 10, 2008
PERSONA FUCKING FOUR
FUCK YEAH PERSONA SHADES
I'll go into more depth once the battle video uploads but generally here are the changes so far:
Game seems generally harder.
You can fully control your teammates (thank fucking god)
No more kiting, which was essential in hard mode FES, drag a monster far enough from it's starting point and it will teleport back instead of turning around with its back wide open.
Backstabs are infinitely harder, monsters have eyes in the back of their head it seems and WILL ! mark even if you approach directly from behind.
The purple foes have a wide arc of turn meaning you can miss the initial stab and get enemy advantaged yourself.
Guarding reduces damage and also PREVENTS YOU FROM BEING DOWNED if you are hit in weakness.
There seem to be a lot of ways to cover your weakness, second boss used a spell that changed her weakness of wind into half damage, then she'd pop off with zionga or what not, one more turn because I forgot to defend with Yosukie, and then status effect +30 damage him or so.
Also, shuffle has changed to some weird spinny atom type deal.

Well shit.
Nico no turn has ended.

I guess that means Nico douga is only going to be left with Touhou, Idolmaster, Vocaloid, people dancing and singing, and game vids.

EmoGate
Planet Zero, an arcade run by EmotionGear, has done it again.
This time however, instead of failing to pay players and randomly making the Grand Finals of a double elimination tournament single elim on the fly, he has outright spit on the Fighting Game community.
Witness these threads:
Shoryuken
Dustloop
In a nutshell:
In short, the Guilty Gear AC team that won the American Super Battle Opera (Tougeki) qualifier spots...isn't going as the same team.
Rather the man holding the qualifiers is replacing ONE OF THE MEMBERS WITH HIS OWN "REPRESENTATIVE."
I don't even begin to understand how this works.
You won the qualifier tournament you should get to go, but because the organizer is making up rules someone else who DIDN'T win gets to replace you on a trip to Japan.
Anyway yeah, this level of crap is HUGE, like the fact the man has the gall to do this has touched off a spark.
Emotiongear doesn't dare post on SRK, but his posts on other forums (ones he owns) come up with the brilliant excuses that basically equate "winning" with "not the best choice to go."
How does an arcade operator get so much influence and money and yet fail to comprehend the simplest rule of competitive games.
I don't see how this guy still has defenders (he does, believe it or not,) but this is the best response I found to them.

In a nutshell:
So.. we waited the 3 months to hear about this GGAC qualifier and little be known emogear substituted one of the players of the winning team with a "Planet Zero Rep". I don't know about you but to spend all that money on a tournament announced to the general public 2 months after it was known by texas players(giving us 4 weeks to prepare) then when a non Planet Zero based team comes in and wins they take out one of the players?? This is just tom foolery and a man of this stature shouldn't be fucking with peoples time and money like this, where is our justice as game players? Shouldn't the winning of an sbo qualifier be enough to go to japan to compete?? I guess in his eyes its not... so.. this is not the first time this has happened and I'm sure others who have qualified *cough*arturo*cough* have been given bullshit in the past.
SO WHY IS THIS MAN ALLOWED TO HAVE QUALIFIERS?!

Here's an analogy you can cram into your skull. I'll start a tournament series where the winner might not be the people who actually prove their skill. Maybe my friend needs to buy some watermelons, and I decide "I'm going to give him the 70% winnings over the guy who raped everyone". That would show some professionalism, wouldn't it?

Birdmen and the Casual Fallacy
This is a rather LONG analysis of Nintendo's current position along with others in the game industry.
It is epic.
It is epic.
The feathers they see on Nintendo’s ascent are casual games. Therefore, they surmise, if they make casual games then they will be flying high with Nintendo.

Random Updates
Wow, every single random Japanese youtube channel I am subscribed to is putting out Scarlet Weather Rhapsody vids.
This includes daruism, serikamo, even nakaji39 geez.
In terms of the actual game, I like it.
That is to say, I like it more than probably the rest of the people who played IaMP.
Glitches, wrong block pushback, fly stall and bullshit weathers aside, I find the game is pretty fun.
However, I still do not play with fly, rather I play around it.
Fly is a sort of bullshit mechanic when full abused, people are starting to realize just how powerful and idiotic it can be.
Right now my gameplan as Suika almost entirely revolves around keeping you down so you don't abuse fly, and spamming 2C and preemptive melee if you do.
I get the distinct feeling the current Japanese scene is like our USA scene, there's the old IaMP player base that basically rapes for free, and then tons and tons of new 2ch/4chan scrubs.
Anyway the USA hackers have already made a no weather hack, the rage from super armor is too great.
Japan will most likely keep playing it straight though.
Also youtube seems to be failing more and more on the videos I upload lately, roughly half of the TMN Magist3r set was lost to Youtube's mysterious "Failed" error.
Doesn't matter TMN got a new HD so his seeking times don't suck (and by extension, Fraps) anymore, so he can record his own matches, and I'm back to uploading Tohgeki 3.
Angelia is my main in Arcana Heart 2.
I played for like 3 days straight at the last Spooky gathering.
Actually, I sort of waited until the wee hours of the morning when only Ken and Hal were awake, and had them teach me her BnB.
Then I proceeded to lose 9000 casuals.
I don't know why or when this blasted loli angel wearing only a nightshirt went from annoying to cute, but right now I find her the most hilarious thing in the game.
Bakabakabaka indeed.
In real life news, the douchebag housemate really did use the nuclear option.
That means everyone has a month to leave; I'm looking for a new place.
Hope he dies prematurely to whatever ruptured organs he has.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody Updates yet again
pooshlmer's servers are trash so I was forced to post information to 4chan, which I never visit.
Anyway, full roster pretty much confirmed.
I find it amusing how every character returns EXCEPT China, they screwed her again just for good measure.
There already seems to be a 1.01 patch.
Anyway the rundown.
Reisen.
Her sprite and portrait seemed designed to look as completely helpless moe as possible.
Komachi looks in pretty damn fine form.
I will definitely give her a try.
Iku Nagae
Midboss.
Kanako with a hat?
No clue really, the one screenshot I saw of her had her doing like a disco dance.
Not my style.
Which leads us to our final boss.
比那名居天予
Hinanawi Tenshi (those of you who know any kanji at all will immediately go wait wtf how the fuck do you get a wi sound and a Tenshi from those characters.
Don't ask me, I have no fucking clue either.
In a word...
CUTE.
Like the peaches hat just makes it cuter.
I had a silly grin when I saw this on VIP.
Did I mention she's also a dragon?
And they are fighting in space it seems.
There's a lot of other screenshots, and it sort of makes me wonder if Tasofro forgot about stages where you CANT SEE JACK.
Yuyuko's snow stage is asking for bans already.
So yeah I'm interested in playing Aya, Patch, Suika, Komachi, and Tenshi right now.
We'll see how the chips fall.
Tohgeki/SWR Updates
Yukari's in, where are her boobs?
Komachi and Reisen are in, Komachi is TALL (and busty, as expected.)
Reisen looks like she's wearing a nurse's outfit.
Suika looks like she's in heat (well she's drunk)
Good luck trying to reach Tasofro's website.
For Tohgeki 3
1st TR reimu, 2nd Tazu remi, 3rd kai suika, 4th kamiG marisa
For PoFV
1st Misumi reimu, 2nd HS reimu, 3rd VX Siki, 4th Pozo Siki
I was proved wrong, it's not a moo sweep, holy shit two sikiekis 3rd and 4th.
SWR updates
Blah blah blah Yuyuko the fat and Remi the bat confirmed for SWR.
Also, unconfirmed Komachi and Reisen from unconfirmed cover.

Million Knights Idolm@ster
I decided on this character the moment I saw her in the trailer, but back then they didn't have a voice actress for her yet.
Anyway, the VA has been announced...and it's Chihaya from Idolmaster.
GGNORE, I have my character.
Thursday, May 22, 2008
PATCHU PATCHU PATCHU PATCHU
And just like that, my interest in SWR is up again.
Even if it isn't as good as IaMP it has PATCH.
By the way her weather is something ridiculous like NO MELEE LOL or something as broken.
CAN'T TOUCH THIS B<
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Youmu and Sakuya announced for Scarlet Weather Rhapsody
AKA everyone knew this shit was coming but we are all refreshing Tasofro's website anyway.
Sakuya's new portrait is sort of...cute.
In a clueless way.
<bellreisa> She looks like she doesn't know if she's serving tea or knives.
Youmu finally uses two swords!
Anyway we're still waiting for new characters besides Ayayaya :V

Kara no Kyoukai DVD 1 released
It's here.
ISO or RIP torrent pls k thx.
No I am not the clown who bought six freaking copies for the sole purpose of keychains.
Why are you still here?
So it seems like the scum of a housemate has decided to report the entire house as an illegal boarding house in an attempt to bring us all down with him.
The guy had an eviction order at least two to three months ago, why is he still here?
WHY.
I actually looked up the definition of a boarding house and it's renting out a building that's not a hotel to four or more people.
Well he was the last one, and he makes four.
So if he LEAVES, we're no longer an illegal boarding house.
GTFO ALREADY.
By the way the reason he had the initial eviction notice is because he refused to pay rent because the landlord wouldn't sign a paper saying he lived there and he needed that for credit to...pay the rent I guess?
The guy has no car, he doesn't work.
I have no clue what the fuck he does for money.
All I can think of now is that I should have let him die instead of driving him to the hospital that one time.

HEAL ME PLZ!!
Proving once again I can't escape my past.
I was searching the denpa rankings out of extreme boredom to see if any Touhou lulz had cracked the rankings when I saw this title jump out at me.
Too silly to pass up.

RAGE
Because sometimes even I need to make these kinds of posts.
Anyway today fucking sucked.
Sucked sucked sucked.
Ok a while back Sp00ky ordered an Arcana Heart 2 board.
The first one was dead on arrival , and the dealer's representative kept pretending she didn't know English.
So he sent it straight back to EXAMU.
It arrived today...with no cart.
How the hell you promise to upgrade and send back the board but forget the cart.
As for me personally:
Today, random Florida branch manager sends a meeting invite to me at 4:30pm (Near the end of the freaking day) to take control of his computer to fix it...WHEN HIS COMPUTER WAS HAVING NO PROBLEMS.
Then proceeds to have me waste an hour..."diagnosing" a problem-less machine.
Everything is fucking fine, there is no DNS rape like the last time I looked at it.
He's like oh we get disconnects.
Well call me when you get DISCONNECTS, not when your shit works fine.
The only thing worrying me is why I can't access the new router that's supposedly the source of the problems.
So I spend more time until I realize their network down there is of the form:
T1->Router -> Switch -> Wireless Router.
No wonder I can't access the wireless router settings.
Hell no wonder I can't access 192.168.1.1.
That and the guy has the nerve to tell me I should come down to Florida to look at their random ass network because I ask all these questions he can't quite answer.
We're a fucking consulting company for god's sake, why is everyone so technically lacking?
YOU DON'T PAY ME ENOUGH TO GO TO FLORIDA.
Hell you don't even pay my superior enough to do his normal job, he should be making way more with the crap he has to do.
I'm simply amazed he's managed to keep sane for so long.
Of course, mid-fucking call with Florida I get another call from some other managing director who honestly wouldn't get an answer if I had left on time, but just LUCKILY manages to snag me at 5:40pm or so while I'm still in office because of FLORIDALULZ.
So now it's from one call to another.
He asked us to change his email forwarder because he has to use these fucking arcane rules (He doesn't use Exchange, no he has a forwarder set up to his personal account that pops everything and that's how his fucking Outlook is set up) and now it's broken and I basically test and even though he won't admit it it's obvious that his current Outlook settings are not set to view the new mail account he wants to forward to.
So I take the easy option, I just tell him we're reverting back to his old address now.
By now it's like 7:00PM in the office and I finally go home.
Fucking hell.
I should have fought for the 20% raise instead of rolling over for the 10% with no review.
Anyway today fucking sucked.
Sucked sucked sucked.

Of course, mid-fucking call with Florida I get another call from some other managing director who honestly wouldn't get an answer if I had left on time, but just LUCKILY manages to snag me at 5:40pm or so while I'm still in office because of FLORIDALULZ.
So now it's from one call to another.
He asked us to change his email forwarder because he has to use these fucking arcane rules (He doesn't use Exchange, no he has a forwarder set up to his personal account that pops everything and that's how his fucking Outlook is set up) and now it's broken and I basically test and even though he won't admit it it's obvious that his current Outlook settings are not set to view the new mail account he wants to forward to.
So I take the easy option, I just tell him we're reverting back to his old address now.
By now it's like 7:00PM in the office and I finally go home.
Fucking hell.
I should have fought for the 20% raise instead of rolling over for the 10% with no review.

LET'S BIBLE
Annnnnnd the synopsis:
[12:31] <phae|P3> that chick on the left is Jesus btw
[12:31] <phae|P3> lol
[12:32] <phae|P3> Oh, it gets better. The guy is a young fisherman from some Eastern European country who is obsessed with losing his virginity, and because the local girls are too ugly, is intent on raping Jesus. The first thing he does is knock Jesus unconscious and stuff her in a chest.
In the "Can't make this shit up department.
By the way, I think this picture is a hysterically accurate portrayal of Christianity!

RIP CPL
Didn't know CPL (aka Cyberathlete Professional League) died about a month back.
Oh well.
Oh well.
[15:36] <fubarduck> someone pointed out an interesting analogy to me
[15:37] <fubarduck> CPL did the same thing as Evo is doing this year, right before it ceased to exist
[15:38] <fubarduck> lose their sponsors
[15:38] <fubarduck> and lower the # of games
[15:38] <fubarduck> and take out a game everyone loves from the lineup
[15:38] <fubarduck> (it was CS 1.6 for CPL)

Immaterial and Missing Power Tutorial
It took them three months or so but it's finally finished.
A tutorial for people who just can't wrap their minds around IaMP.
I have to say it's well done, though bellreisa being dry and informative is something rare.
By the way, my last post was 555 posts, which only dorks will understand.

Million Knights Vermillion Trailer
Looks like NRF is back after imploding from the awfulness of Big Bang Beat, a nice looking fighter with super polish that sucked so much gameplay wise it hurt.
Let's hope their next foray isn't doomed to as much failure.
To Heart 2 X
So yeah I'm playing this for lols now because otherwise I'll feel lost when I start AD.
Maryan is hilarious.
Your second meeting leads to you getting handcuffed, gagged, and thrown in a locker.
Sasara is COLD.
Not just shy, COLD.
Edit:
Ok never mind, Sasara is just shy.
Also, I forgot to say but Yocchi is cool :3

TF2 ChainSaw
So I have this thing now, and I'm beginning to think Valve didn't really test it at all.
Ubering a medic now becomes a hideously powerful option if there is a lack of sentries and both of you know what you are doing.
Basically uber a medic -> he bonesaws four people -> he ubers you before the uber runs out -> you bonesaw four people.
Repeat until they are all dead or run away.
Don't go for other medics or scouts, just go for the slower classes.
Medic has 107% speed so this doesn't hurt either.
I finally found a like minded medic on a /v/ server (lol) to try this out with on Well(CP).
The result was ridiculous.
They had us raped inside the 4th point but could never take it cause we would sit in spawn, a pyro of theirs was outside waiting, we'd set ourselves on fire on purpose, build an uber, then just clear the point with uber chains.
Eventually we pushed them to their final cap and had a sequence where we had nine consecutive ubers or something hideous like that on their final point with a final score of like 79 and 58 points.
Of course this was on a /v/ server, but it bears mentioning because there are some real instances I feel this becomes insanely silly.
The first place that comes to mind of course is Gravel Pit B, on defense, when their entire team has gotten into the point.
The terrible thing is even if the scouts and medics run away, you are almost guaranteed to kill at least one soldier or heavy because of how many ubers you will get from hitting them.
