Wait is that image bigger than the actual box is? XD

i bought the Zen Stone, got the black colored one. it's pretty easy to put music on, and it plays WMAs so i can rip my cds and load them on it. only holds up to 250 songs, which is plenty for me, especially since all it has is a skip track button, would be a pain in the ass to have to skip 500+ songs to get to one i wanna listen to.

[Chimasterwang]

Have you noticed the Zen V+ or whatever its called can play video and stuff but for the same size it costs more than the normal Zen. The normal Zen can play video too i think XP
@Rogue: It seems the one with a built in speaker has longer play time than the normal Stone

[Rogue15]

for $32, i'm not complaining. now i gotta get on ebay and get the armband...msrp on that is like half of what i paid for the stone!

No More Heroes

Finally got it... it lacks the blood, gore and decapitations, etc... but we do get the comic book manual and the Heavenly Star music video... I will be getting the US version when I decide whether to get a US Wii or Wii Freeloader.

It's pretty fun so far, I like the combat system, though getting around Santa Destroy is kinda annoying. The best part of the game is when you're battling the ranked assassins.

[Lynk Former]

Oh yeah, I got a job last week too, but I can't say what I do XD It pays REALLY well though That's all you need to know

[Stormfalcon]

How much time did you spend deciding whether or not to fill out the application for the job? .5, .3 seconds?

[Lynk Former]

There were like a hundred forms to sign... I'm not kidding either... the pile was huge. Took me ages to fill in and sign everything x.x

[Chimasterwang]

Nice! You finally got a job =P

Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

Finally got it! I've been going through it as best I can cause it certainly is a lot more challenging than Path of Radiance was.

[Chimasterwang]

Nice
Lol someone said this on a forum the other day XD
"Casual Gamers are ruining the gaming industry, just look at what happened to Nintendo. Their games suck and theres no difficulty at all in them anymore D:"
In a discussion about EXP rates in a game or something XD

[Lynk Former]

People also say Nintendo games are for kids simply because you don't have a huge fragfest of blood FPS coming out from them or some crap like that

Plus it's funny how when Nintendo releases a casual game everyone starts bitching, but when Sony releases something like EyeToy or SingStar, it's the greatest thing ever...

Funny how that works.

[Black Howling]

Meh games don't have to have blood etc to be considered for Mature Audiences, but Fire Emblem rocks.

[kin37ik]

never played fire emblem xD i didnt even know it existed until i played SSBM

[Lynk Former]

Yeah, when most people think Nintendo, they only really think of their most obvious franchises and don't bother to realise that it's more than just that.

[Black Howling]

never played fire emblem xD i didnt even know it existed until i played SSBM

has all the fire emblems that are out in this country XD doesnt mean many though only 4 of them

[kin37ik]

hmm, is fire emblem good?

[Lynk Former]

No, I bought the game cause it absolutely sucks


It's what is called a "tactical RPG" in fact the Fire Emblem series is considered to be the first tactical RPGs made... think of it as like chess but not. You have a small army of characters on a battle field and when it's your turn you get to move them to attack enemy units. Once your turn is over, the enemy units attack your units. Strategy is a big part of it, hence the "tactical" part, it's really important to think a few moves ahead and to plan out your attack and what weapons/health items/etc your characters are carrying.

Oh and one more thing... if one of your characters is killed in a battle, that's it. They won't ever come back, they're dead. Of course, unless they're an integral part of the story, they'll just retreat from battle, but you won't be able to use them in battle again. So it's important to keep your characters alive.

And yes, it fuckin rocks

[kin37ik]

hmm ill have to check it out then

[Moelman]

I don't think I had heard of it till SSB Melee, since I never had a nintendo console and none of my friends had it I guess.

[Lynk Former]

I don't think I had heard of it till SSB Melee, since I never had a nintendo console and none of my friends had it I guess.

Fire Emblem never made it outside of Japan until Melee came out and caught peoples attentions. Then Fire Emblem Rekka no Ken (Blazing Sword) was released outside of Japan and was renamed to simply "Fire Emblem" (It's the game that features Roy).

There's going to be a remake of the first Fire Emblem being released on the DS which features Marth.


Just a note: Radiant Dawn is Fire Emblem 10 and the reason they've been able to make so many of them is because they're not all set in the same universe.



Another series that so needs to be released outside of Japan is Mother... the most Nintendo ever did with that was release Mother 2 in the US and rename it to Earthbound. A few years ago they made Mother 3 and remade Mother1+2, both on the same GBA cart which won't see a release outside of Japan... bleah... they're both really good series x.x

(Mother 3 is where Lucas comes from and Ness comes from Mother 2 (Earthbound)

[kin37ik]

come to think of it, theres alot of games and extras that japan gets in their games and we get the cut down versions, for example, we got the cutdown version of FF7, which isnt really fair :|

[Lynk Former]

Like I said, Japan gets cut down versions of games too. Even the games that are made in their own country are cut down while they end up being released complete and uncut outside of Japan.

[kin37ik]

EDIT, Rephrased: what im saying is its better to leave some game alone rather than removing some things before the game gets released

[Tacx]

I have no idea what you're talking about. my head is about to explode memorizing the concepts of nursing process. T.T

[kin37ik]

EDIT, Rephrased: what im saying is its better to leave some games alone rather than removing some things before the game gets released

well, thats what i think anyway

[Chimasterwang]

Like I said, Japan gets cut down versions of games too. Even the games that are made in their own country are cut down while they end up being released complete and uncut outside of Japan.

No More Heroes XP

Ive played Onimusha Tactics and Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars on GBA XD

[Lynk Former]

...and Resident Evil 4, and quite a lot of US developed games like Grand Theft Auto, etc.

[kin37ik]

i heard GTA 4 is really good, although i cant really judge untill i play it first xD (just thinking on that xD)
