So a 7th Dragon prequel was announced for the PSP and wait what?

Is that fucking Tokyo Tower I see?
Did someone mix up my 7D with TWEWY/Persona nonsense?

Cheerleader Has To Pay $45,000 To The School That Kicked Her Off The Squad For Refusing To Cheer For Her Rapist

Ugh, rage article of the day.
So I think arguing this on first amendment grounds probably fails but...at the same godamn time:
"You speak for the school, and the school promotes former rapists, and if you don't believe in that, then you're off the team!"

The worst part is none of the lower courts said the suit was without merit and dismissed it.
Meaning the Federal Appeals court is GOING OUT OF ITS WAY to screw her over.

Long Barrel: Increased range
Accelerated Shooting Machine: Faster rate of fire and increased range
Vampirizer: Absorb enemy HP
Life Amp: HP up
Shield Deployment: Damage reduction
Last Draw: The last projectile in the clip will deal significantly? more damage

Limit Remover: Attack up and faster reload and increased blast range, lower accuracy
High Seeker: Homing ability increased

Some notes:
Mods are more about addressing weaknesses then amplifying strengths in this game early on.
Mana Amp is always solid.
Rapid fire helps a lot on slower knockback weapons.
Same with quick reload on slow as hell rocket launchers.
Increased accuracy I find useless.
High capacity is generally solid, at low levels it won't increase a clip size of 1 above 1, but the higher levels it will, which can make it worth it on certain one shots.
I'm not really feeling high-explosive rounds.
I guess long barrel could be mildly useful on assault rifles, but I got a demon gungnir early, so...
Accelerated long barrel is a double mod so it's good
Early on vampirism is good, later difficulties it is useless.
Life Amp is ehhh.
Shield is ehhh as well.
Someone on JPBBS reports Last Draw 2 increases Demon Gungnirs last shot by about 3x. (12k)
Piercing is amazing. Even level 1 (pierce one enemy) is useful with the right weapon.
Burst is decent, sort of like a ghetto pierce. If you combine the two however you can have some real fun.
Limit remover is generally good because accuracy isn't that important.
High Seeker I've only seen on a single gun.

Shit you want to be looking for on Masters:
Demon gungnir (if you have piercing and burst fire the better), piercing and burst shotguns, DEBMAX, piercing and burst assault rifles, Master Spark, Leviathan?, Ragnarok, Nothingness gungnir

Motomu Toriyama supervising new Squenix smartphone game

For the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android, interesting platform choice there. No titles yet, just the tagline 心が世界を壊す (kokoro ga sekai wo kowasu), something like "Hearts that Rend the World Apart," well if you read the EN page for it that is. Then some French that means "This world is an illusion. The dreams (of night) are real."

In the view page source there's a further subtitle that says "Shid and Shiera's new story, along with the genre as "adventure game book." English source doesn't really reveal anything more than the Japanese source, feels like a machine translation more or less.

So the last time I saw the names Cid and Shera they were in Final Fantasy VII building rockets. Sure as hell don't look like the two characters there...also it should be noted that in FFVII(J) Shera's name was シエラ as opposed to シエラ─. Still that girl is holding a moogle AND the tagline is "new story," implying there was an old story to begin with.
Who knows.

Hyperdimensional Neptunia gets a sequel

Apparently Neptune was Idea Factory's highest-selling game, kusoge as it was.
So obviously a sequel must be made...starring anthropomorphized handhelds instead of consoles, because their big sisters have been kidnapped.

Makes sense right?

Sort of biased though, as MS has NO handhelds.
Also Neptune once again makes up shit out of thin air with their handheld being called Nepgear.
Meanwhile of course Sony and Nintendo get to show off their lolis I mean handhelds in spades.

Arbitrary units of DEATH!

The reporting on this thing has been atrocious.
I thought this was a troll at first but it is an actual fucking chart.
Arbitrary units of what?
For fuck's sakes you're not even trying now!

List of places I am going to not fucking listen to arbitrary units:
NHK, Katz, TBS
NHK sort of slow early on, getting better.
Yokosonews is katz, he's pretty up to date.
tbstv I honestly think has been down forever.
SA thread
Yes I know it's SA forums, but the first post is worth reading because regardless of the situation science doesn't change.
It's a good way to get a quick idea of what can happen in the worst case scenario and what the points of contention are between JP news and the USA news outlets.

Also here's a great example of the type of "reporting" that is being, dare I say it, "crowd-sourced" by nearly every godamn media outlet out there.

AP Photo of TEPCO's director weeping and description.
Looks pretty standard right? (By the way, I don't really trust TEPCO for shit.)
Here is the same photo, now turned into its own article by the Daily Mail.
Apparently Daily Mail is something the equivalent of the National Enquirer over there in Britain but not like it matters!
They're a reputable news source now!
This shit has been mass linked on blogs and other news sites repeatedly; I think the bitterest irony is all the blogs who are always for breaking down conspiracies by the media are swallowing shit like this from the Daily Mail hook line and sinker.
That press conference was translated live on an independent stream (not NHK) and none of the fearmongering garbage in that article was present.

And this is just a single example.

Japanese death toll to exceed 10,000

This was a lot more serious than I thought...
Tokyo didn't really get hit, just structural damage.
But several outlying communities just got completely washed away by the tsunami wave.
Plus explosions at the nuclear power plants as well.
And it actually moved the entire island plus threw the Earth off its axis...

I have naturalized Japanese relatives (they changed their Taiwanese given names to Japanese), I do not know how they are doing.

All you can do is just hope.

The Perils of Staying Sadlife

The book is called "Inafune Keiji Comcept(Concept?)" and will be released in April, hopefully not the 1st.

Dragon Nest Japan's GMs pull upgrade "hack" stunt

So basically right now in Dragon Nest JP is an event where the first team to beat the new boss "Seed Dragon" get 1000manen. That's 10,000,000 yen, aka rounded down 100,000 dollars. For beating a video game boss. Pretty fucking crazy promotion. Apparently though Seed Dragon is some crazy unbeatable boss with 30 life bars; it has been theorized you'd need a full party (actually I think you can bring 8 people against him) of at least +12 or so equipped characters against him. Equipment in this game breaks at level 6.

Anyway in game, someone of the name of ハヌホメsdaa was upgrading basically the final tier of equipment, presumably for an attempt on the Seed Dragon. Global messages indicating +12, +13, and +14! Apocalypse Mace had been reached (Priest weapon) and people went crazy with excitement. And then someone posted in global chat: "Try to block the dude who got +14." And lo and behold, "YOU CAN NOT BLOCK A GM." appeared. Moments later the character (who was max level), was deleted. People flipped out. Why would a GM be upgrade haxing a final tier weapon in game? The first idea that came to everyone's mind was, "So they could win the Seed Dragon contest by rigging it with supposedly normal players who happened to have really high upgraded equipment." If they announced the winners and honuhome san showed up, no one would be surprised since they saw a fucking +14 in global. Shortly after this there was an "emergency maintenance," that supposedly addressed "security exploit." The community more or less called bullshit and said it was a coverup. According to the community, honuhome san was also a notorious upgrader in Arad Senki way back before the game was transferred from Hangame to Nexon.

So more or less everyone is calling Hangame on basically troll fishing the entire community with a rigged contest using rigged GM characters. Truly hilarious.

Kawaii Security

Apparently the selling point is "NO LESS THAN 30 VIRUS-TANS."

China passing off Top Gun footage as Chinese airplane "training exercises."

Aquapazza/pizza by Examu/Leaf:

Unfortunately it's on Taito's Nazi Online board NESiCAxLive, meaning that State side operators will have about 0% chance of getting the game (fubarduck already shed a single tear.)
Also Manaka attacking anything is just too weird!

Taxes

So I have two W2s, one pointing toward the normal place and one pointing toward Mauritius.

From Wikipedia:

Mauritius – based front companies of foreign investors are used to avoid paying taxes in India utilising loopholes in the bilateral agreement on double taxation between the two countries, with the tacit support of the Indian government, who are keen to improve figures relating to inward investment. The use of Mauritius as a gateway to funnel foreign investments into India has always been controversial. Mauritius's financial regime has a number of the key characteristics of a tax haven, which has helped to facilitate this.

KKIITTAAAAAAAAAA!

Arcana Heart 3 is out

<HeartNana> ok
<HeartNana> shit felt PERFECT

And some joy finally starts creeping back into me.

Cosmic Break broke my heart

Sort of delayed, sort of old, but yeah time to post a final wrap-up more or less.
Cosmic Break broke my heart.
I'd be sort of over this if I didn't keep getting asked questions suddenly by IRL friends from the fighting game community.
"Hay sibladeko what's a good build" x9000.
Imagine my face when I have to tell them that they should never spend money on this game because the people running it are insane.
Where were you clowns in the previous betas when the game was actually good?

In short, Cosmic Break USA's insistence that it was "well aware they were dealing with a different market" was pretty much lies.
True they started out with "discounted" prices but they kept the RT conversion the same and once those discounts end it will go back to the hilarious Japanese pricing of 20 dollars for 5 rolls.
And so ends Cosmic Break.
10 dollars 5 rolls.
Not budging on that price point, that's what DFO uses and that's the border of sanity.
It's only fair too given the lack of a trading system and other bullshit the userbase puts up with.
If they had used that price point I'd be flying around with those shiny wings right now with chocolate Lily instead of playing other games.
But no they think 20 bucks 5 rolls will work here.
Even with the discounted rates (16 bucks for 5 rolls! 12 bucks for 5 rolls, almost there but no cigar) have firmly cleaved the user base by 66%.
And hell I wonder how many of those remaining 33% paid?
The few people who have shiny wings all belong to the merged clan of lagging HKers and iHOP called Everything's(Not)Fine.
That and maybe Middle Eastern Prince *******, he has something like 4 shiny wings on an alt.
Truly the saviors of USA Cosmic Break's economic model.

Quite honestly I spend tons of money on stupid shit, I threw 50 bucks at Ougon (HAHA SUCKER), I'm throwing 70? at Arcana Heart 3 limited edition, just to name my most recent examples of excess.
But I refuse to throw any more money at Cosmic Break USA until they change the pricing, which I don't think they will.
It'd be pretty trivial for me to throw 1000s and get overpowered bots like Everything'sFine and rule a dead game.
Except I don't want a dead game, I want a game that can grow, that can thrive, that can survive a balance change instead of having people quit because their 1000s of dollars are now worthless.
Buy in and you basically reward Cyberstep for their idiocy and their desire to kill their own game.

Edit: Oh yeah as for shit people ask me the most:
If you want to be a winner, Redux will help you win.
Tons of problems in the base game...though changing flat garapon price goes a long way toward remedying that.

Ougon Musou Kyoku

Is pretty kusoge.
I'm having limited "fun" with it but right now the biggest problems are:
1. Cancel window is retardedly tight and chains actually hurt my hands to do, very mashy game cause of how the command interpreter is.
2. Pressure is extremely linear, the guard meter builds hella fast so there's almost no reason to open someone up, just make them block. You basically block low 99% of the time in this game waiting for the obvious tag overhead.
3. Attacking someone gives them more meter than you.
4. Bursts are omega free, with the amount of meter you get in this game there is no reason NOT to burst. If a game has both sides bursting like 5 times per match there is a problem.
5. Metaworld is staggeringly powerful for certain characters, there is no reason to NOT counter meta if you have the meter and even if they have more meters to redeclare it throws off dash timing like a bitch and shortens the duration of it.
6. Everyone's combos are the same, though I don't mind it that much. No meter combo is 2a5b2b5c tag 2a5b2b5c2c special if you have it. One meter on your main? 2a5b2b5c metaworld dash 2a5b2b5c tag 2a5b2b5c2c metaworld super into dizzy. One meter on your sub? 2a5b2b5c tag 2a5b2b5c metaworld dash 2a5b2b5c metaworld super into dizzy. Ange has limited chains but she has rejumps. Probably one of the more interesting characters in the game.
7. Hitboxes are all over the place. True there is a slash wisp I believe in the actual move, but look at that thing. Same with a lot of the other moves, I think Battler's tie is something like impossible to attack head on.

8. Netplay is disconnecting garbage with no spectate and no way to copy paste IPs in (you have to mash up arrows on the number fields)
9. Limited joystick support, when's the last time I've played a doujin fighter that couldn't realize the directionals on both my pad and stick? Maybe 10 years ago?

Pluses:
1. Presentation is slick as hell, looking at the sprite work confirms this. Plenty of cool in-jokes and story moves as well, the characters really have a lot of their stuff from the sound novels.
2. Music is amazing, although it is in uncompressed WMA!?!?! Lol why is the continue song 2.5 minutes. It's like they didn't care. Plus a 7 minute stage song for a game with a 180 second timer. Do not understand.
3. Voice acting is top notch, everyone sounds in character and the ones who are annoying are annoying as hell nyehheheh (silly rabbit).
4. I really really like the meter system in that you only build meter for your partner. It really does promote the "tag" aspect of the game, however everything else sort of falls, especially of how metaworld is handled. Maybe doing metaworld super ends your metaworld immediately, because at the moment Beatrice has infinite momentum, Battler and Ange have free instant full screen punishes on anything you do that isn't down back, etc. etc.

The game has potential, I don't even want to think of how Melty Blood was when it first came out.
Right now though it's a pretty limited, though gorgeous, experience.

Arcana Heart 3 Test

Microsoft Taiwan makes a Silverlight Christmas dating sim

What the fuck? I didn't even know there were four Silverlight sisters.

Rollcaster

It’s possible for a sound to get played and then get canceled out by a rollback, which would of course be very confusing. I had to add some code that not only tracks every single instance of a sound being played, but what’s even more fun is that it has to check to make sure that the same sound wasn’t started on a later frame, so it doesn’t accidentally cancel something out that was just moved up a bit.

So you want to program games?
Hope to God you are as hardcore as mauve.

UMINEKO FIGHTING GAME PART 3

Voicework

God Beatrice sounds hilarious.


Anyway further shit:
Ange: Stun Boost (She gets a lot more hit stun on her attacks)
Battler: Resurrection (He heals life)
Beatrice: InfinitySP (One super she chooses costs nothing?!)
Lucifer: Attack Touch (Can tag in even if she is in waiting status)
Kanon: Silent Attack (Seals opponents SP gain when he hits them? Or makes them gain less, not sure.)
Shanon: Auto Guard (What it says...sort of vague, I don't know if it means you don't have to block mixups yourself or what.)
Eva: Berserk (??? Probably more damage)
Chester: Break Boost (Almost positive that she does increased guard damage)
Virgilia: ??? (???)
Ronove: Counter Boost (??? Guessing he does retardo damage off CH)

Serious thoughts.
Siesta looks ridiculous, guard damage is really absurd plus arrow spammy character along with rushdown type normals.
Not sure about Beatrice, she sure is elegant looking though.
Also if Shannon's shit lets her not have to block mixups she will be easy ass scrub character.

UMINEKO FIGHTING GAME PART 2

Actual play footage.

So Keits posts three times about this game on SRK front page and Stupid Retarded Kids explode because of too much anime.
Also lol, Japan more pessimistic than #Umineko because "oh no combo game."
Also damage is spelled DAMEGE aka DAME GE- aka "do not want game"

Anyway analysis:
It is a tag game, lifebars seem shared between characters, super meter is not.
There are three life bars total per pair.
Tagging is called "Touch."
Canceling an attack into a tag attack is called "Attack Touch."
Bursting out of hitstun into a tag switch costs two meters of your sub and is called "Damage Touch."
You can combo into and out of tags.
There is a life gain mechanic of some sort.
There is a guard meter.
There is a shitload of projectiles.
The toolshed stage either phases in and out of normal and ritual or it's some type of game effect (think arcana activations in AH1 and AH2).
Backed up by the fact that in the clip after Lucifer goes into snap finger pose and the background changes.
Beatrice has something called "Infinity SP"
Battler has something called "Ressurection"
Kanon has something called "Silent Attack"
Shanon has something called "Auto Guard"
Eva has something called "Berserk"
Chester has something called "Break Boost"
Lucifer has something called "Attack Touch" (different than normal attack touch?)
Ronove has something called "Counter Boost"

2. North Korean

Blizzard bans single player cheaters

That sound?
That's the sound of the entire Diablo mod community shitting its pants.
Terrible precedent, you KNOW this shit is going to be in Diablo 3.
And with SC2's terrible editor limitations already (they recently banned a typing of the dead style UMS because the dictionary included the word 'dyke') Blizzard seems well on their way to stifling any 3rd party development, even for single player.

New Office

Is large enough to get lost in going to the kitchen four times.
I keep doing endless laps trying to find people.

Satoshi Kon's last words

Sayonara (Goodbye)

How could I forget, May 18th of this year.

I received the following pronouncement from a cardiovascular doctor at Musashino Red Cross Hospital.

"It's the latter stages of pancreatic cancer. It's metastasized to several bones. You have at the most half a year left to live."

I have seen Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress and thought both were insane/amazing.
I think it's about time I pick up the rest of his work.

Daigo thread on 2ch

ウメハラ総合スレッド369

169 ：俺より強い名無しに会いにいく：2010/08/26(木) 23:32:21 ID:OpBL3OYp0
ファンボーイって軽い言葉は使って欲しくないね
ビリーヴァーもしくはファナティックと呼んで欲しい
ウメハラは単なる人間ではないのだから、信じる者もファンではない
神を崇拝するかのごとき神聖性を持っているものだ

[11:23] <fubarduck> "I don't want them to call us fanboys. "Believer" or "Fanatic" is more appropriate. Simply put, Umehara isn't human, so his believers aren't "fans". It's just like worshiping a god, and we are carrying that kind of sacredness"

And in this instant it became abundantly clear that 2ch is filled with the same trolls and morons as SRK.

Stripfighter IV

So there's this game by the name of Stripfighter IV, which is obviously a terrible parody of Street Fighter.
It's the latest in the longest series of pretty deranged adult fighters from this one doujin circle group.
Anyway, there was some Japanese player named Stripfighter, but I knew of the game first, so any time someone would mention him in an IRC channel I'd be like wait the game or the player?
Anyway, turns out...it's both.
I thought the player Stripfighter was trolling with his name from the game, but it turns out he's actually the guy who MAKES Stripfighter.
So instead of merely funny he rises to legendary status.

US Army + Maritan...officially?

So the US Army in Japan is working on an official joint project with the Maritan people people about 50 years of US-JP military alliance.
For those of you unfamiliar with Maritan, the creator released a bunch of educational English help books:



Completely using Full Metal Jacket quotes.
Yes I'm not joking.

Anyway this has to be the best or worst idea ever.

Dropping the hammer

So our head accountant got let go today.
Literally she walked in the morning and was told through a phone call.
None of us knew except HR.
Passwords/backups/data/mail/hardware/bank accounts all this shit has to be scrambled together before end of day.
Her Indian counterparts are going WTF?
We're going WTF?
Seriously usually you give something like this 1-2 weeks for a transition.
Not here.
HR also would not tell me how long they had known about her upcoming release for.
Like give me a fucking break, respect the procedure but at least make it easier for everyone else who has to pick up the slack left by a GAPING HOLE in our team.
She has no replacement, I don't know who on accounting is going to take over her duties.
Standard India.

Also, I got Starcraft 2 in the mail for 45$.

Women's SSIV

Post 1 of 9000

<Cicada-> cuz hte match ended, and stephanie went for a hand shake "can i get ah andshake? no? what about a hug?"

Lol shittalk.
Apparently Stephanie (Bison cosplayer, very cute) walked forward and pressed roundhouse (with Bison of course) and Sherry couldn't deal with it.

In the end though I only had faith in Kayane, and even she didn't look her best in the finals.
Probably cause she was used to fighting real players not random wake up Ultra 2 from Gouken.
Dumbing down your play doesn't look pretty but it's what you have to do against low level.
