The Next Hang Out: <insert nintendo here>

[Milady]

*peeks in*

Gentlemen. Gentlewomen.

Whatcha playing?

Hiya Tan.

I was playing the demo for Wizardry: Labyrinth of the Lost Souls. Stopped playing about 30 minutes ago, but there's still a decent amount for me to do (you're limited to the first floor of the dungeon, and there's a level cap of 5 -- but I'm a couple of hour of playtime in and I still have some areas to explore, and my highest level characters are level 2, plus there's an elite monster that needs to die).

I'm enjoying it, but I don't know that I'll be picking it up when I could just as easily play something similar on the DS (or download some abandonware) and keep the money for other games. Trophies are a fun incentive, but realistically, I don't know that I'll ever be willing/able to collect them all.

Considering what the Wizardry games are usually like, I have utter confidence in at least one of the trophies being the video game equivalent of a fuck-you letterbomb.

Sounds fun. And rather time consuming.

Speaking of DS games, I should probably get back to playing Strange Journey.. Kind of got distracted by other games

Well then. I just got hit on by a bi guy. That's interesting.

You sure he was bi? He could just be italian.

Definitely time consuming. It's fun for now, but I don't know how long it will be until the fun turns into frustration turns into rage.

Probably long, long before I beat the game for the tenth time and finish that 200th hour of gameplay. And I'm sure those three "optional" bosses, which I think are the three which have hidden trophies associated with them, aren't exactly willing to lie down and die for you in a civil manner.

God Damnit. When is todays ep of Burn Notice going to be up?

Twenty-seven hours, thirty-two minutes and fifteen seconds. Well, that's my guess, anyway

He started talking to me on Facebook out of the blue. I was a little weirded out, but I didn't really mind so I was ok with it. Then all of the sudden he tells me he's bi, and asks if I'm curious. I then told him I most certainly was not, and that in fact I had to go, because my girlfriend was here. Thankfully, I haven't heard from him since

Or french. Easy mistake to make.

It may be that long before I can even get three characters to level 5.

And I just love how they lose stat points when they level up.

...

At least it would if the game is challenging. Is it?

And resting at the inn costs 200gold, per character (for full restore).

And the only ranged weapon you can get to give anyone in the back row seems to be a sling, which costs ~14000 gold.

The most I've picked up from one battle so far is about 8 pieces. I've earned a couple thousand in completing a quest, but I died a few times in the process.

I think twenty seven hours is being a bit optimistic.

[!nstaGib]

Can anyone recommend me some good RPG's? Preferably JRPG's, around the PSX time?

[Milady]

Sounds fun.

I'm a terrible person to ask, because I lack the skill of many other members here in most games. And also because I've invested almost no time in properly creating a party of characters. It's certainly very limiting at the moment, if not plain challenging. Or evil.
