    Games that made you cry

    I got 3. RPG's to boot. First we got Valkyria Chronicles. for those of you that know, you know my pain. I can never play Mulberry Shore without knowing what awaits at the end. It gets harder every time. The sequel was no better hitting you with not one but 2 character deaths. The death of...

    Best strategy jrpgs.

    If your looking for an odd entry into the SJRPG line up, give Yggdra Union a shot. Game boy advanced game with a very unique combat system. It got ported to the PSP with more content, extra characters, a few optional missions and solid voice acting, at least if you ask me. And if you consider it...

    Most memorable opening line in a game

    This is a personal thing more then anything, but how could this franchise be ignored. While this quote technically comes after the first mission, it's power resonates strongly and sets the tone of the game fantastically well: "On the 15th day of the third month of the year 1935, the Empire...

    In Another Castle: Video Game Music

    I got two for you and two personal favorites of mine that I think were vastly overlooked. Eternal Sonata and Valkyria Chronicles. Eternal Sonata will be short, but many of the songs in there (Which vary from light and upbeat to truly tragic at least from my perspective) convey a very deep level...

    Bosses you felt bad about killing

    For me, beating Selvaria in Valkyria Chronicles was tough. Early on, it was hard to sympathies with her. She was cold, ruthless and calculating with power beyond which any mortal had seen. After you beat her as a valkyria twice, she comes down to earth and becomes somewhat more sympathetic. She...

    Kid almost suspended for 2 inch lego gun.

    Kinda reminds me of the time in like 6th or 7th grade when I got in trouble for pushing a kid who was bullying my friend. They took his glasses, started playing keep away and I shoved one of the little bastards to tell them to back off. He fought back too and when the whole thing ended, the two...

    The most beautiful game

    I'm going to throw this games hat in the ring, cause I don't think it'll be mentioned for a good while. Valkyria Chronicles to me was a beautiful looking and beautiful sounding game. The opening cinematic, just as you get past the first loading screen is a brilliant piece on it's own. The way...

    D&D is Devil Worship

    Unfortunately, she's just an example of one of the many annoying traits of the modern world and America in a sense as well. We live in a country where people like her are considered more in the right, then rational straight thinking people that happen to think a little differently then the...

    Best Gaming Soundtrack?

    Am I the only one that's going to say it? Really? I didn't want to have to do this but I must. Flipping Valkyria Chronicles! Hitoshi Sakimoto (IMHO) has a great pedigree of soundtracks, doing music for all the Ogre Battle Games (Which were great in their own right) and Final Fantasy Tactics...

    EA Sports Predicts Stanley Cup Winner

    Considering Boston has a team that is very, very solid, I think they have a really good chance this year. Seeing as a good amount of teams in New England are doing so well (Bruins with this season. The Red Sox the past couple years. The Patriots in the early 200's and now the Celtics) I have a...

    FAILS!

    I was playing Frisbee with some friends of mine, on a not so sunny day. It had snowed a couple days earlier, but it got warmer a little recently, and the snow was starting to melt. The whole time, me and my friends were gliding on the snow, pulling off some pretty sick catches. However, I was...

    PETA fights CoD dog killing with Nintendogs.*UPDATE*!!!

    Seems a tad ridiculous what their doing. Their only putting themselves at risk for doing that. And when one of them gets hurt, they are going to be the ones who are going to sue the person who shot them. I mean, forget the fact that he was being a total twit and running around in a hunting zone...

    PETA fights CoD dog killing with Nintendogs.*UPDATE*!!!

    I'm not sure whether I should give you a high five, or buy you a beer. That story was pretty damn funny. They kinda made themselves bigger hypocrites then they already are.

    PETA fights CoD dog killing with Nintendogs.*UPDATE*!!!

    Unfortunately, being rational minded in this world is next to impossible. The ASPCA has no chance to make an actual dent in the world, because they can't get headline space. It's always being taken up by the radical nutjobs like PETA. The more ridiculous stuff they do, the more attention they get.

    PETA fights CoD dog killing with Nintendogs.*UPDATE*!!!

    It's funny, the girl those screw balls are backing go to a school in Massachusettes. Those of you who live in the U.S. know that it's the most liberal bloody state in the Union. And the sad part is, I live there. Stuff like this happens on a weekly basis. In one city, people were protesting the...
