Exactly. Hence the

Lol that gif! If that scene wasn't so creepy, it would have been extremely funny  :P

I was trying to keep up with the thread (an impossible task  :o ) and boy do we love arguing about the weather over here  ;)

I'm just glad that the temperature is so nice currently, over here anyway!

BTW, this region mess would be a LOT simpler if it were simply a field in the game's entry instead of a category. In other words, when you enter a game you should just choose the region for that game just like you choose dev, publisher, genre, etc. This would solve 2 problems: it would list all games by a platform together (am I the only one that hates that, for example, my PS3 collection is split between NA, JP, UK, etc?) and it would make adding new/missing regions a lot easier than having to create an entire new category.

I know this will never happen, it's too major of an upheaval of the system. It's become enough of an annoyance to me tho that I'm currently looking for other options to catalog my collection.  :-\

This is my dream. It would indeed be a crapton of work, but it would be easier to manage afterwards. I don't wanna leave Jason to tackle this alone, however. That would suck for him.  :-\ And I'm pursuing a promotion, so you might have noticed my regular absences recently  :'(

I just re-updated the original post!


Not sure if it's feasible, but should we have a separate Platform/Category for countries with their own rating systems, such as New Zealand or Iran? For that matter, should we break up the EU category since many European countries also have their own rating systems? Most of the other regions (JP, CN) are classified by country, and I'd think the NA category could be excused since the ESRB covers the continent. Not sure where the line should be drawn or if it'd get too messy to categorize them all.
That's actually a very interesting point. It would require a whole lot of reworking, but I think it's worth at least pondering upon. EU categories ARE getting really messy after all...


I noticed we have a category for Interactive Figures and Cards, but its only subcategory is Interactive Figures. Shouldn't we have Interactive Cards? Would something like a Lord of Vermilion card, which is placed on an arcade machine and scanned to insert a character into the game, count as an example of Interactive Cards?
Categories are going to be changed (hopefully soon) for the pattern voted in the thread about Interactive Figures!

It's exactly that and it hasn't been too bad up till now, but in this fight, every time the boss went, which is twice within my three characters turns, he'd chain the other 4 or 5 guys, so it guaranteed at least one or two deaths.  Then he has two healers.  With all the reviving and healing, I had no chance of taking out the healers.  I might not be so annoyed about this if I didn't lose at hours of gameplay.  I'm gonna get back to it tonight, but it's so disheartening.

Reading this made me cringe haha. I would be pretty mad too  :'( I'm only 2 hours into the game right now, I hope I'll have more luck.

Speaking of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, spent a little time in an intermission doing story stuff, did it, saved before I started the next chapter, played for a good 2 hours at the very least, likely two and a half, died, realized I never saved again, back to the start of chapter losing all the progress.  So much frustration welling up inside. GOD DANG NO AUTOSAVE CHECKPOINTS WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME NINTENDO COME ON.

This kills me as I was so wanting to progress in the game, but now all I want to do is never play it again lol

The first time I truly played Majora's Mask, I stopped playing because my gamecube crashed just as I was going to save, after a 3 hours run. Didn't want to do all of that again right away, so I didn't play the game until MM3D came out. There was almost 10 years in between  ::)

I went here over the weekend and I'm still feeling it. But, it was so worth it. I had a blast and will definitely do it again.

That looks amazing! I love those kinds of activities  :) Makes me wanna go to one of those places soon, if only I had the time.  ::)

You guys make me wanna play Sword of Mana now  :'(

I don't have much time to play currently though, I'm still finding a place for everything in my new apartment. Moving takes so long, guh  :-X My new place is absolutely awesome and totally worth it, tough!

I haven't been able to be on as much lately before of moving, but also because I'm starting to have more tasks at work; things are pretty busy, but mostly in a good way  8)

*shrug*  I always feel weird about buying games for the Wii because I'll probably never play them.  But I've heard good things about Little King's Story, and it's XSEED which is good.  Plus, it's been on my wishlist for a long time, it's among the few games that survived me cutting out hundreds of games from my wishlist.

It's also on the Vita! It released physically in Europe and the Vita is region free, if you want to import it :)

Hanging out with turf (and his lovely plus one) was the top highlight of a weekend that was already filled to the max with many highlights.

Memphis, TN will never be the same again.

My shelves will never be the same after finding that Gameboy Booster.  Now, I have to see if it's in the database

Sounds like you had fun! :) I wish I could meet a bunch of you guys. That's the magic of the internet, meeting cool people who live too far away for you to have been able to meet them otherwise   8)

The handmade nature of it does make it even better  :) I can't wait to be done moving, which should happen next Sunday. And before that: Safari Park on Saturday! This week is going to be so tiring but should be great at the same time  ;D

A good time piece brings a room together. I say get it!

I may just have to follow your advice for the sole reason that it came from the one and only Gent-K.  ;)

I'm definitely not looking for all possible excuses to order it.  :-X

I made a SNES controller to CD-i adapter yesterday. I feel like an electrical genius. In reality, I just followed some plans that someone far smarter than me came up with.

Still, being able to follow such a plan is impressive in itself! That's pretty cool  :D


On a side note, I'm extremely tempted to get this gorgeous clock for my new apartment. I'm not even into clocks or that kind of thing. But this one is just so pretty!

Happiness is enjoying a game that gets nearly universally bashed. Star Ocean V is turning out to be more fun than I expected.

Amen to that :) People like to get hyped over hating things together, for some reason. That usually turns into ugly things for no reason.  :-\

I agree - I have a friend who loves to rant about any new fad, and currently he's bashing Pokemon Go. He's not playing it, and it's not hurting anyone, so I think he just likes yelling at people who get near his lawn  ::)

Old fart detected  ;) haha. Says the crazy cat lady  ::)
