It's just a Hang Out: Can you please stop whining for five minutes?

[Milady]

So I backread a little of the hangout, read about everyone's Japanese, etc.

Then I get bored and look at the front page of Wikipedia, to learn that today is supposed to be Victory over Japan Day.

Huh.

[Ace Ventura]

Grady - Stands for Team Fortress 2, good game.

[Sheik]

Meant to ask you earlier, Beelze - Do you go in for these 'variant screw' NES games? I was told that I had a few of the 'five screw', or whatever the hell they are called..

Dunno what a 'TF2' is, Roxas.....TransFormers? Those two (more now?) live-action 'films' were embarassing...and I'm not a TF fan...

Yo, Shword.

Team Fortress 2 with the awesome.
Sup Grady.
I'll just wait for the ears to stop ringing.

Yeah, I get into the 5/3 screw variants. Just check my lists in my sig for any that I might be looking for. Anything you are looking to get rid of?

[Nemkoon]

Good luck. I'm not being sarcastic, by the way. I mean it. So many people give up halfway through or never even attempt to start.

I haven't really bothered with it recently, been distracted by games and such.

Victory over Japanese Day.

I squee every time I see your KOS-MOS avatar. Xenosaga + Milady. It's like two of my favourite things in one!

[GradyWilson]

Ah....sorry...not up on that....I'll assume its a game.
(TF2)

Got my Nintendo Power today..... NEW Castlevania for 3DS! Apparently you can cycle-through Trevor, Simon, Alucard, and another character!! My heart cant take much more....I have never fecked with the 'pre-order' thing, but I might need to....I'd better get two, just in case...leave one sealed...I sound like a crackhead...

Beelze - Sure, thats why I mentioned it, dude. I'll take a pic of these screw variants, they are in my trunk at the moment. Got any GB/GBA/DS games? Gaming mags/SD chips/DS systems?
(I have been making a point to HOLD the NES stuff that we have been getting in...you and a local guy are at the top of the list, man.... )

[Nemkoon]

Oh, and if someone was "part X" and actually spoke the language of X or had a certain knowledge/actual connection to the culture of X then it might make more sense to mention it, but otherwise, it doesn't really serve much of a purpose. Feels more like a "look at how cool I am" sort of thing to mention.

I know a little Irish and Polish.
I've completely forgot the Irish though

That's why I just play games in Japanese. Best way to combine fun + studying.

The pic in your signature....I have heard grand things about these games....I think they are 'turn-based', though; so I'll not be able to play 'em...

but XCOM is too fun.
Alright, I can't decide, to replay Chrono Trigger, or Finish Persona 2 Eternal Punishment.

I can't argue with that. XCOM is legendary.

[Nemkoon]

I just wish the Soldiers could hit a damn thing.

Grady: You mean you just don't like turn based games? But yeah, the first VC game is great apparently, the second not so much, and the third is great again. Only played the third one myself, and despite its obvious flaws, it's pretty good. It's not as strictly turn-based as other games, though. It's a bit hard to explain. You actually do take turns, but when you start controlling your soldiers the enemies also start reacting to you in real time. Sort of. Just watching a video of it should do the trick if you're interested.

Actually, if I had to compare it to anything, I'd say the Valkyria games play an awful lot like XCOM as far as combat is concerned.
