Stress sucks.

I swear I've gotten more gray hair this month than before.

At least yours turned gray. I had a seriously stressful year and a lot of mine fell out.

Two ads I saw in an Electronic Gaming Monthly issue I recently got from 2003. Just thought they looked really cool and wanted to share them here:

What happen? Do you need to talk about it?  :o

My mom's insurance decided to cancel all the payments for her medicine, so now we owe them 300 bucks. I'm gonna call them tomorrow to yell at them because WE ARE PAYING HER PREMIUMS.

I think it's related to us not paying for the insurance for a while because we thought it was still being paid by Medicare - we ended up owing six months, but paid them two months ago. I'll see tomorrow once I call them.

Disgaea is a fine series and I'm glad that you're getting another one, dark. Unfortunately, it hasn't been the series for me since Disgaea 2. With so many great games out there, trying to do as much stuff as possible in the other Disgaeas would be a huge time commitment. That said, let us know how it is when you get your hands on it!

I'll send you a PM about what happened.

No denying it, the games are time sinks.

The only one I've platted is D2 which is, by far, the easiest one to plat.

Also, replied to your PM...

I still have the t-shirt that came w/ that DW game - 4, I want to say - because it says the same thing on the front.  :P

That's awesome you got the platinum. Did you ever get the platinum in Guided Fate Paradox? I responded to your PM, too. ^^()

Regarding the stress situation, I am right there with everyone. I will say that 2014 has been better than 2013, but man this year has been stressful. It's hard to look on the bright side of things. That's part of the reason why I love gaming so much. I get to escape the realities of adulthood.

Yep, DW 4. It was a 2-page spread, but the other page was just text and small screenshots, so I just took a pic of the cool artwork page.

It's so bad... although 4 man multiplayer matches can still be fun.

I put the buttons to 1.2 and it suits me perfect! :) The standard controls is horrible for me tho.

Nope!

No go on the GFP plat!

Even compared to platting Cross Edge & Disgaea D2...that one's a real bitch  :'(

If anyone could do it I figured you'd be the one. I remember you playing that non-stop back in the day.

I just tried out that new demo for Super Smash Bros on the 3DS and I must say, I'm very underwhelmed. I'm actually considering cancelling my preorder now. It really doesn't feel like it was suited for the 3DS, the screen feels to small for Smash Bros, and the 3DS' circle pad is horrid to play it with. I can't believe that the WiiU version of the new Smash Bros will let you use the 3DS as a controller (if you own both versions of the game), why would you even want to do that?
