I've only really played Vantage Master and Popful Mail. I enjoyed both a lot. I'm afraid I didn't really get into Ys 1 or 2 (I played the PC versions) and they were okay as a once through but didn't hold my attention. I was told 6, 7, and Felg---I can never spell it right would be more suited to me. Anyone wanna help me on this?

Speaking of voice acting, anyone else heard the english voice acting in the game "Casual Romance Club"? Its something really awful. It was voiced by Japanese women who apparently had little to none actual english skills. Thank god it wasnt fully voiced. Someone needs to Youtube it. This sounds fucking amazing. I have to hunt this down now somehow.

This also brings back memories. I never played it much but I remember it being a more subdued title, given the genre as a whole. (Yeah yeah I see you up there Jojo~)
I like how we're all bonded happily and nostalgically to be a porn game. Without really being crass about it. That's honestly pretty cool.

The girlfriend and I just spent yesterday watching Gunbuster and today watching Diebuster. If you love TTGL, you need to see these just to see where it got its coolness from. These chicks were inventing crossed arms, cool sunglasses, heroic speeches, living off burning spirit, and combining before it was the in thing. OGs right here for sure.
But I AM A HUGE BABBY WHO CRIES AT EVERYTHING that is all. Both endings made me cry at least 15-20 minutes, if not half an hour. I'll never be able to hear a certain phrase ever again without tearing up. If you've seen it, you'll know what it is. If not, trust me, it'll ruin you in a good way too.

Avast still owns. I love its silent/gaming mode. That combined with malwarebytes has kept me clean for years.

The data cap is pissing me off so bad. My grandmother decided for some stupid reason we should get AT+T DSL here because it's cheap and came with phone service after we moved and it's already a terrible plan. I kept getting throttled randomly, pages would randomly not load (refreshing helped), I would disconnect randomly when torrenting (and even managing sane upload/download speeds didn't help), it's limiting even in direct download speed, and the worst thing I think was I needed the modem/router's permission to browse when we first got it hooked up. It would say we were connected but only allow us to use anything once it said we could. I don't like that at all; makes me feel watched and untrusted.
And then this shit. 150 fucking GB a month. My brother practically lives and breathes on streaming services, including legit stuff we pay for like Netflix, and he's pissed he has to start being more careful about it. I'm pissed he has to because we pay actual money for this. I stream music a lot. I know these of themselves don't use a lot of bandwidth but it does add up. I don't think even at our worst he and I could hit the cap every month, but the fact it exists and I have to monitor it now is beyond disgusting. This is barely viable in an age where streaming is king and efficient.
All because someone wants more money to line their pool with platinum instead of just regular yellow gold. Fuck AT+T.

Sorry, but I'm going to come up and say I'm in the camp of this entire incident has barely bothered me in the least. Had it happened to any other company, the fanboys for it would suck their metaphorical cocks and annoy the sane fans and haters alike, and the haters would pile it on and say WELL I THINK and WELL THIS MAYBE and here's the thing, we really don't know jack shit about the attack or if anyone could or would handle it better.
I hope nobody else gets hacked and nobody has to prove anything. It's not a fun thing. Nobody really "deserves" it. But nobody is unhackable either. Most big companies and our government tend to have the worst securities, so honestly this never came as a shock to me.
So hackers may have a long since expired credit card number of mine at an address that is abandoned now and the last name I'm in the process of legally changing from. I find that hilarious myself. They can keep my old last name, it sucked anyways.
I barely play games online myself; even in MMOs I tend to stick to myself. So that's not an issue. I want to play the new Wizardry too but that will have to wait. That's fine; gives me more time to make sure I want it and have money.
But really, had this been Nintendo or Microsoft, the same situation would be happening now. I'm not defending Sony at all; they really could be doing this all much better and faster, but it's not like they begged someone to attack them or offered our info to the hackers as a joke. They didn't do it to spite any company that publishes for them. Same as if anyone else had been hacked.
I really wasn't going to say anything on this topic but damn, the extremism on all sides is really starting to piss me off. It's a shitty situation that I'd feel at least a bit of sympathy for Nintendo or Microsoft over, even if I don't really support them much (or at all) right now.
Hackers are assholes and ruining it for everyone here in every way. Whether you hate Sony or worship them or are just someone in the middle trying to see both sides, it's getting to everyone, and that was probably an aim of the attack was to work people up.
Ah well.

As a homosexual female, you think I'd be forming a hardline against a lot of characters/topics in games/other media a lot more than I do. I'm a double huge target for stereotypes, and should be just as easily offended as many others seem to be. I both am pissed and am not pissed off. A lot of depictions of women I don't find offensive that many others do because a lot seem to be based solely on how they're dressed/look. I'm very honest and open about myself, and enjoy looking at these characters. I don't feel this is the problem. It's an old stereotype, but it's about as much of an issue as male characters looking overly handsome or muscley and rugged. Looks have never bothered me, because let's face it, they're designed to be appealing on many levels. And to be honest, these designs and other things make me laugh more than they hurt at all. I have a very sick sense of humor and sometimes it's okay to laugh at how ridiculous and outdated a stereotype is. (I mean come on, look at my usual signatures/avatars. I have no room to talk about HOW MEAN IT IS that women dress skimpy in media. I'd be a hypocrite if I did. I'm as shallow as anyone and enjoy someone that looks good, that I'll admit right now.) What bothers me is horrendous portrayals of characters and/or their personalities. A lot of gender role bullshit that just shouldn't exist in this day and age, but sadly still does. I hate the ditzy love interest who can't even punch her way out of a wet paper bag. I hate the weak girl who can only heal/throw potions. Oftentimes those two roles lap over each other and you get something that really grates me. I hate whiny, bitchy, spoiled royalty. Annoying homosexual stereotypes include "You're only doing it because you can't get laid" or "You're not attractive enough" or "You have a phobia of the other sex" and "You'll come around once you find the right woman/man." These are disgusting and things I get told in real life constantly. These are the things that offend me and make me want to do the designers in. There are many ways to write characters of those types, but they've only really been surfacing lately. A woman can be a competent nurturer, competent royalty, the love interest can be smart. Though I will admit portrayals of GLBT in games are getting a lot better. I adored Kanji and Naoto in Persona 4 and their own experiences mirror my own pretty greatly and they were treated with love and understanding. I like Tatsuya and Jun in Persona 2 as well. All companies from all countries are guilty of this nonsense, and it's not going to go away anytime soon, sadly. The only things we can do is encourage those that do well in it and let them know to keep up the good work. I'm also genuinely more offended by my gaming brethren and people in real life than I am anything in games. Even if stereotypes in games don't get better, I would be very happy if others cleaned up their acts while playing or outside of it. A good site to see what kind of shit I get to put up with is Fat, Ugly, or Slutty. If anyone wants my opinion on particular characters or scenarios or has a problem with anything I've said, I'll gladly talk more. It's a problem I would like to help solve, so I'm all for it. I'll be as brutally honest as you want, as well.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is one of the greatest things to ever grace my life. It's about cutesy magical girls!
Oh and deconstructing the living fuck out of the genre and animating my nightmares and making me hate everyone and everything and crying nearly 76 times an episode. And it may be just one big Faust allegory. It's only 12 eps long (last two delayed until the 21st due to the quake/tsunami) so it's quick to catch up on. And it has music done by Yuki Kajiura. You really cannot lose, unless you hate things that are awesome and heartrending. In which case do get out.
SHAFT you magnificent bastards. Marry me.
Also also, if you don't think Mami has the most pimp hat in existence, you don't know fashion. End of story.

As Anna herself said, it's quite Wizard of Wor-y. But seriously if you're not playing this I want to know why. This is most excellent in every way, and not just because the name/theme. This is genuine ass kicking fun. Pretty much everything she makes is solid gold but if you like any old arcade game ever you are doing yourself and the world a disservice if you're not trading in your dignity to go further. You'll get what I mean. And love it. Promise.
