Watching it now. Their no.1 gorey game is Mortal Kombat.

I know what you meant, but now I'm picturing two biddies standing at a bus-stop in Gorey centre going 'I like a bit of the auld Shao Kahn meself'.

In short, thank you.

this stupid 5 minute section with a 'girl gamer' who looks something like Garth from Waynes world wearing a purple wig throwing out as many 'geeky' phrases as she can to a New Super Mario Bros Wii background. If I were a female gamer I'd be offended.

Since he had no monetary value When Larry Bundy Jr. sued him, they took his shoes for the second series.

Nicest fish I ever ate was fresh Mackerel (it's my favourite )

Atavan-Halen

I got an email from amazon confirming an order. It read "your amazon order of "rise of..."

I immediately thought feck, I haven't ordered rise of the robots have I?

Thankfully I didn't.

I remember seeing a live flounder in the bathtub. Brought back when my brother was fishing.

Hey Sparks, we can say that your post was relative to the thread by saying you were putting in some practice for a session of Sega Bass Fishing later!
I never saw a flounder in the bath tub, but spotted a brown trout in the jacks the other day!
Wakka, Wakka!

Yep, region free.

Just be aware the first two Persona games are nowhere near as good as the latest ones.

They're still great, it's just that P3 and P4 are a hell of a lot more accessible while P1 and P2 are closer to the original series so you've got to be ready for dungeon crawling and random battles which can wpe you out if you aren't ready for them. You have to approach it differently and it can take some time to click and I freely admit it took me a while to get dungeon crawling.

You're using 'accessible' as a synonym for 'better designed' there I know what you're saying, but accessibility is an admirable asset when you're honing or improving existing ideas.

Nah, there's things to like about the original games - the battle system does some interesting things the later games in the series do not - but they're also much clunkier, more one note gameplay-wise and far less interesting in terms of story and characters. Certainly worth a try, but I'd suggest something like Strange Journey does the dungeon crawling in a more rewarding way. Persona has without doubt aged pretty harshly, and while its rhythm might eventually click and its good ideas remain intriguing, I stand by the statement that it is nowhere near as good as 3 & 4.

Retr0gamer

Well it's just that P3 and 4 were massive departures from the usual SMT template. I'm definitely not saying they are bad but neither are P1 and 2, they are just very different games.

If you want the daddy of accessible dungeon crawling, nothing beats etrian odyssey. Accessible yet still utterly unforgiving.

Oh feck.
The better half has decided that we, herself, my son, my nieces and I are all going to camp out in the back garden tonight....
And I'm on duty at 8am....
With a meeting on Monday to prepare for that's a big deal.
And now I'll be doing it all after having slept outside.
Feck!


I'll just have to make sure the 3DS and Vita are charged!

Speaking of the Vita, I'm really enjoying Wipeout, along with the HD and Fury packs, it's a amazing bit of software.
Uncharted is a bit suck ass, as are the dreadful Uncharted 1 motion controls.
Lumines plays a little too much like all the other Lumines games I own, and no longer play...
