The End Result

  • Dec. 31st, 2009 at 7:00 PM
Remember my PSP poll from earlier?

Well, Crisis Core won out. I bought it, and I couldn't be happier. It's an easier yet excellent game, more than making up for my frustrations with Dissidia (Quick Battle grinding is no fun EVER). Thanks again to everyone who responded to my call for help. You are AWESOME.

I managed to get a little extra pocket money before I left, so I picked up a DS game as well.

I bought Style Savvy.

Go ahead; boo, hiss, throw tomatoes. But this game is FUN. It's cute and addictive, even if I want to toss my DS when it comes to more 'difficult' customers (why they look for prep clothes when I run a gothloli/punk store, I'll never figure out). If I could describe it... take the fashion aspect from TWEWY and dumb it down a couple notches, but keep the over 9000 types of clothes spread among 16 different brands, and that's basically Style Savvy.

Has anyone else played this game? Just curious.

Handheld Horror

  • Dec. 31st, 2009 at 8:43 AM
Hello everyone!

I'm a big fan of the horror genre and recently received a new DSi for Christmas.
I was just wondering if there are any horror titles available for it, I've only found 2 so far, Theresia and Dementium: The Ward.
I'd also like to find horror games for the PSP since the only one I own for that is Sient Hill: Origins.

Yet Another PSP query

  • Dec. 31st, 2009 at 1:41 AM
Is it worth it to get the 8GB card for the PSP?

I have a 2GB card right now and I have just noticed that I will need to be getting a larger one sooner then I thought I would. It looks like the 4GB would serve me just fine for right now, but the 8GB one is only $10 more with twice the room. I'm not sure I'd even take up 8GB of room on the damn thing...

Last chance!

Christmas is over and I'm officially taking plushie commissions again, and tomorrow is your last chance to save $5 on each additional plushie you order!  That means, when you order one plushie for the price of $25, each additional one you buy is $20!


Plushies are done in either flannel or cotton jersey (t-shirt material).  Eyes can either be hand-drawn on (white cotton jersey only) or ironned on.
Examples )



I ship from the U.S., and accept Paypal, personal checks, and money orders.  Customer pays all shipping and handling fees.

Other examples of plushie art can be found here:

As I said on my face book status, I've lost 8 pounds since last night. I didn't sleep last night, instead I spent about 5 minutes every 20 minutes in the bathroom. By this morning I was cold to the touch, I had a headache, and I could hardly move.
My father says I should have gone to the hospital, I agree with him, but considering I'm doing ok now I guess I'm alright. But, this is the first time since around 9 last night that I can actually sit up for more than 5 minutes without throwing up (or worse!).

but, yeah, I'm getting there... Recovery. I think it was some type of food poisoning but I don't know... Only thing I had questionable yesterday was Bojangles unless the pomegranate juice I drank could have done it to me.

Obviously I'm working toward re-hydrating myself without throwing it back up. Thank god for Ginger Ale.

Ever wanted to become a Jehovah's Witness? Well, there ya go, you can download all their stuff in MP3 format so you can do it the easy way. heh. My mom asked me to burn her some CDs of stuff of someone she's trying to work with who only knows Chinese. They really do cater to everyone.

I'm gonna try to attend Ichibancon at least for 1 day at the great wolf lodge next weekend. It's 35 for the whole weekend and you don't have to stay at the lodge after all. I might just try to go for the first 4-5 hours before work on Saturday or something, since the mall is Right There.

and.. that's all, i'm starting to feel sick again.. gonna lay back down.

Back to 'factory settings'

  • Dec. 30th, 2009 at 5:39 PM

How do I take my beloved PC back to factory settings?
I don't mean using a Restore Point, I mean take it back to how it was when I took it out of the box.

I'm running Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, and I have no problem losing whatever software or data that I haven't already backed up.

I just have so much crap on my pc and I've no idea where most of it came from and whether or not some of it is actually necessary. I can't even tell which came with the pc.


ETA:

Thank you all for taking the time.

I'm happy to reformat - seems to have been precisely what I was looking for, I just didn't have the words.

Interestingly my PC didn't come with any discs at all - connected it up, plugged it in, turned it on and it was ready to go. I do have the official Vista  sticker/code on the side of the case though.

However, after a minor freak-out about my lack of discs, I remembered being periodically prompted to create recovery discs which sounds something like the discs you all are a suggesting I use.

So, in conclusion - thanks for telling me I wanted to reformat and I'm off to let my pc tell me how to do it.

Lilac PSP

  • Dec. 29th, 2009 at 4:04 PM
After reading the post about Wal Mart selling it for $139 and it having no HM branding whatsoever, I was on a mission to find one.

After failing in a few stores here in the Bay Area and in Phoenix when visiting my mother, I find it online for $159.99 at newegg.com. They are also offering free shipping so with tax, I paid about 170 something.

Just a heads up for anyone still looking for one. It's not $139 but it isn't $199.99!!

I can't wait to get it. It shipped today!! Woot!!

in search of cheap ico online

  • Dec. 29th, 2009 at 4:59 PM
so i recently got a whole bunch of money for christmas, and i decided i would finally go after ico after wanting to play it for around 58938593+ years. i'm not really sure where you would go to buy these types of things other than amazon or ebay, and amazon's selling it for quite a lot of money and i'm not too trusting of ebay (i did find it for 20 dollars on ebay once but i didn't have any money at the time TT ATT such a sad memory). sooo i was wondering if anyone would know where i could buy it relatively cheap? cheap for as rare a game it is, i mean. thanks in advance :D

hey gals :)


just wondering.. about a year or so ago I heard some rumours about a new 'You don't know Jack' game being planned for multiplatform. I remembered this the other day as I was browsing http://www.youdontknowjack.com (just in case you lovelies don't know what I'm even talking about)

you don't have any idea about it, do you?

I miss this game. I still have my PSX version and it's still fun, but I knew all the answers ten years ago and I need new stuff. 'buzz' just isn't the same :(

Help please

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 11:29 PM
Hello,

I have been looking into buying the 3 volumes of .Hack//GU and was wondering what is the normal price for them and besides Ebay where a good place to look for them all, I am going to be looking around the game stores where I live even if I called and asked if they have any of those games since sometimes they say they do not have it and I find it there anyway.

Trying to find it so by Friday when I am payed I can either pay for it online or if I am lucky go to the store and would like to know what price to expect since I have seen the prices on Ebay and wonder if those are like the normal prices for the three games. funny once I did find all three at a good price and the person said they would hold them for me and then sold them to someone because their price was higher and I wasn't even called and told this I got all the way to the store and someone else told me that they were sold and the person who was going to hold them did not even look at me. lol so I am hoping this time if I do find them my luck will hold. xD

Any help or advice will be so welcomed since I only know of Ebay and the Amazon sellers but I am trying to save monies. so a point in the direction to a site or a store in NYC which good prices would be so good.

Thank you! and I hope this is ok to post.

Not Another One of These Posts!!!

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 8:15 PM
Hey girls! I've just saved up enough money to buy myself a PSP, and I'm wondering what games I should add to my Buying List. I'm into RPGs mainly, but I like Strategy games and an occasional Action/Adventure.

So far I have:
~ Final Fantasy: Dissisia
~ Final Fantasy: Crisis Core
~ Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep
I'm sure there's more, but I can't think of them right now.

Please and thank you!

Someone told me I didn't post yesterday...

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 11:06 PM
So I have 120 dollars good at Best Buy. I'm teetering between two things. One is obviously a laptop, which I am I used to having and wouldn't mind having again, but unfortunately the prices aren't too nice. Either I spend 800 for a good laptop for 400 for a average laptop. Here are my two current options.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Toshiba+-+Satellite+Laptop+with+AMD+Athlon%26%23153%3B+II+Dual-Core+Processor+-+Graphite+Gray/9553896.p?id=1218123211002&skuId=9553896
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+VAIO+Laptop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B2+Duo+Processor+-+White/9528996.p?id=1218119763906&skuId=9528996
The second one would be a no brainer if it didn't have the bluray player. That alone increases the price by 200 bucks but everything else is exactly as i want it and I would NEVER use a laptops bluray. The first one is actually Very Nice for 400 dollars. It's 32bit and doesn't have a webcam but otherwise it's a badass laptop and my opinions on 32/64 bit is- there is no real difference since almost no applications support 64 bit, especially games.
Regardless, I don't have the other 300/700 dollars in order to get either so that won't be any time soon. I'm saving though.

The other option is a Wii, again. I'm not going to buy one, but the thought crossed my mind yesterday. Only 1 reason- Tatsunoko Vs Capcom. but, I'll wait... for what, I don't know, but I won't buy a Wii just for 1 game. I think I'll be holding onto these gift cards for a good few months.

Domy picked up a PS3 today so no more lending mine to her. I picked up Sonic Unleashed today. Jesus. I forgot that I don't like the game That Much (well, i love Half the game. The Beat'em up parts are a bit frustrating but I love the running segments). anyway, it was 9 dollars and it used up my Target gift card after I also bought a sandwich and some soda.

I'm thinking about getting a safety razor or straight edge razor, not because I think it would be cool, but because i'm starting to think blades like Mach 3's, bics, Shicks, and all them are pure crap! They're made to go dull/useless after only so long so you buy more and there is no way to sharpen them or really clean them. I don't think a straight edge is a good idea for my abilities but I definitely think I could handle and appreciate a safety razor. I will be looking into this soon.

Moral is very old... I'm afraid she will die soon. I've been giving her small steam baths every day to warm her up (she's cold to the touch) and giving her some of her favorite foods (bread and tomato today). I'm quite sad about this, the poor girl is so weak these days. She's probably about 3 years old, unfortunately I wouldn't know since I got her a year ago and she was already full sized. so, that's been a fright every morning seeing if she's still breathing and coming home from work to see the same. Aw, she's re-adjusting her bedding.

Advice?

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 10:41 PM
I received an xBox 360 for Christmas this year and was just wondering if anyone could recommend any good games for it? I've already bought Left 4 Dead 2, which is amazing, and I'm looking to purchase Halo 3 and Fable II. But are there any others any of you would suggest? Any genre's fine. :)

Also, on a Left 4 Dead 2 note, has anyone managed to beat like, any campaign on Expert? It's driving me insane. -_-

Thanks again. :]

Video Game Representation in the Media

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 5:28 PM
I hope you all had a lovely holiday ladies! Once again, gather 'round since I had a new topic for disscussion. Our topic is: What are your opinions with how the gaming community is represented by the media and how should we change it? Does it need changing and it it does, are we to blame or it the media at fault?. As always, feel free to disagree or agree but be civil. Now, let us cross our fingers that this iPhone app that I'm posting with actually works and let's dive in... Come on iPhone DON'T FAIL ME NOW )

Ergonomics Of Portable Systems

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 9:37 PM
 P. 32 of the 4-koma included in the latest issue of Dengeki cracks a joke about the PSPGo's distance between the analog stick and the buttons being 8 centimeters less than the former PSP models causing shoulder pain(the character suspected the PSPGo was the cause as she didn't have pain with the older models). 

So PSP Go owners, do you agree? Wasn't the problem even worse with the GBA Micro? 

But long hours on a portable system really isn't good for your neck and shoulders in general, especially if you do it all the time. 

Let's discuss!

Harvest Moon Love Rant

  • Dec. 28th, 2009 at 6:30 AM
My boyfriend just downloaded Harvest Moon Boy & Girl for me on his PSP Go and all of my Harvest Moon love came rushing back. I've never played this one but I'm off to a good start and it looks very promising!



Also, I am this (__) close to buying a used Game Cube for the sole purpose of playing Harvest Moon Magical Melody!!! Probably my favorite Harvest Moon game of all times!!



I also love Harvest Moon Save the Homeland for PS2. One of my other favorite Harvest Moon games!!



I hope I get as into Boy & Girl as I did the other two!

Do any of you play Harvest Moon??? If so, what have you played and what are your favorites??
