@Desocietas:

Though that game got many mixed-reviews (Radiata Stories, that is) I had a lot of fun w/ it.

Have you already played it?

Also, that guide will come in *VERY* helpful (*Especially* for recruitment aspects of the game:)

Now that I think about it...what/if any other RPG's have ever done this before?

(- meaning, having a branching/"choice"/"Point-of no return" about 1/2 way through the game, and then, depending upon your choice here, you will get 2 *Completely* *Different* story-lines...*NOT* just an extra/different boss or an additional area, or two...but completely different stories, endings, bosses, recruit-able characters & NPC's, Post-game content, etc...

Basically, you pick to play on the side of the monsters or the humans, and from there...*EVERYTHING* is different?!

My girlfriend just bought me Black Ops (PS3), she also pre-ordered Black Ops 2 for my birthday, which gave me a double sided poster Pretty neat little thing!

Nothing for me to add here for a while.

It looks like I rented Radiata Stories over 6 years ago (thanks for the timeline, Gamefly!) and really enjoyed it then, and yes, was pretty surprised when it came down that that crucial decision in the plot.  I don't really have strategy guides (this may be my first?), but I figured for games like these, it'll come in handy (and will help me avoid having to sift through GameFaqs for the same info and risking spoilers).

I'm looking forward to sitting down and playing it again soon, but I feel like I can't play any of my pre-gen consoles until I get my hands on a CRT tv again!

Not really a game, but if Foxhack can post his Tails cosplay, I can post this one:



I don't even like Halo, but @worthplaying (twitter) was giving it out for free...

Wandered into the Sony section looking for (hoping for) a PSP memory card (no luck)

I've just used regular SD cards for my PSP... unless you're looking for a Sony branded one?

Hmm. I just assumed that it was some sort of proprietary memory stick. If it's a standard SD card, then I'll just go get one of those. I can't play my free PSP games from the whole "Here's free games, sorry PSN was hacked" debacle. since my current one is only 1GB...

i dont think the psp has a  proprietary memory stick i think you are thinking of ps vita

Actually the PSP uses Memory Stick Duo Pro cards... unless you're weird and you have a PSP Go, which uses Memory Stick Micro M2.

That's what I thought. As far as it not being a standard SD card. I'll look in the camera section next time I hit the store.

[desocietas]

Yeah, I just waited for a 16gb memory stick duo pro or whatever went on sale at Fry's and *bingo*... cheap way to save games.  The ones I've bought usually have a little thing on it that says it works for the PSP.  Was probably Sony branded, too, just not labeled exclusively for the PSP.

Picked up a couple of things yesterday and today:


Gears 3 was $35
The Dreamcast extensions were $1.50 each
The arcade stick was $2
and the Colecovision was $7

This is the cleanest system that I have ever found

[pacpix]

That Colecovision is awesome!

[desocietas]

Whoa, that thing looks newer than it does in my nostalgic memories...  Nice!

So today I went to do a round of garage sales. I found a whole lot of NOTHING! It was a total waste of time.


To mildly redeem this morning, I went to EBgames where they had special deals today, came out with the Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition on 360 for 14$, and the Rift Collector's Edition for 2$ (it comes with an 8GB USB key and a mousepad, both of which  needed).
Never gonna play either of those (not into MMOs, and I already played through the superior PC version of DNF), but whatever
