The Illora Out: No. Seriously. Get out.

[Sprung]

Not pictured: the billions of dollars you're making arming the uprisings/dictators, the extensive cost of invading (your military is primarily a mercenary force without even getting into the cost of weaponry), the fact that oil prices are as much the fault of local groups as it is the fault of OPEC, the fact that invading just pisses the other suppliers off while giving you a rather nasty black eye (Iraq had more civilians killed than enemy combatants) etc. etc.

Bah. This is why I don't get involved in politics. Too much politics.

I had a lovely 8GB card. I could fit everything on there. Eventually my DS collection ended up being very similar to my PS2 collection. So, so many games, I can't choose or focus on just one.

Neither can I. So I gave up. I just juggle like six games at the same time. No big deal. It's only going to take me a few more years to finish this one JRPG.

That's what it was like for me when the pre-order for Ar Tonelico 3 was put up shortly after Neptunia .

Why would you get excited for a pre-order? I've never pre-ordered anything in my life.

Yeah, I've been trying to figure out which games on the DS I actually finished. The only ones that come to mind are the AA series.

I pre-bought something on steam, pre-downloaded it, and then couldn't play it until the console fuckers had 24 hours on it.

Never pre-ordering a fucking thing ever again.

Because it has extra stuff. Play Bangai-O, it's super addicting robot action!

[Gare]

And I've suddenly realized I also have a couple of Steam games I bought but never ended up playing. Like Alpha Protocol. FFFFFUUUUUU

What's wrong with you ? Play it right now!

I've played it, and I dislike it.

Pre-ordering is the shit. Especially for shit from NIS America, where they give you a ton of extras.

YOU DON'T KNOW BOUT FEELIES AND ARTBOOKS. ALL FOR PAYING FOR THE GAME BEFOREHAND SO YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO STAND ON LINE? FUCK YEAH.

I preorder a lot of games. Mostly because it's as close to layaway as you can get when it comes to games. Pay it off before it comes out, so you avoid having to wait to buy it after it's out. Happens all the time when you have kids.

AWRITE! ME3 is out on Tuesday!
Monday night, kid needs $60 for something for school.
FUUUUUUUUUUU

Taaaaaaaaaaaake on meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Taaaaaaaaaaaaake me ONNNNNNNNNNNNN

How did i not before?!

[Gare]

I've only ever pre-ordered one game, Amnesia. Back in February of last year. By the time the game came out I totally forgot about the whole thing.
