    Pet Peeves

    I know I wrote an LJ entry about this before, but it's probably an interesting topic to discuss here. What are your pet peeves when playing a videogame and why? Mine are: 1) "This building/town/whatever is going to explode! Leave the premise at once while we bombard you with enemy...

    The "Awwww. That's too bad!" Koudelka Sequel Plans

    While flipping through the newly delivered Koudelka Visual Guide, I skimmed through the interview pages with the creators of this original game. In the interview, they mention how there were already plans to create two "direct" sequels (not Shadow Hearts) for this game. The second game were...

    Shadow Hearts III Discussion: Spoilers!

    After playing Shadow Hearts II, I personally wasn't sure if there was even going to be a Shadow Hearts III due to some of the events at the end. There are two facts regarding the third game that is known by the World Guidance Book. 1) There is indication of interest of wanting to show...

    Why not a Game Cube or an Xbox??

    I've always been out of loop with the "other" current consoles that weren't a PS2 until Thomas (Skyewelse here) got me hooked on Super Smash Bros Melee for the GC and playing HALO on the Xbox. It seems like a majority of you still don't consider buying these two consoles. The number one...

    Written out sound effects in Japanese

    I've noticed that one of the biggest obstacle for a translator is translating sound effects that don't exist in the English language. If you've ever seen an odd animal sound like "Kyueeeen!" "Kuuuuuun!" in a game, it's all example of poor attempts by the translator to do the impossible. In...

    What games are on your "MUST BUY" list next and why?

    There's a rush of new games coming out starting at the end of August and which ones are you going to spend your money on? Pikmin 2 The difference between this sequel to the original is that there is no time limit. This is a change that I embrace. : ) In the first Pikmin, there was a 30 day...

    Has anyone ever played this game?

    As I read Shirofan's post mentioning Tiny Toons for the SNES, I had a sudden visual flashback to a game that featured the Road Runner and the Coyote in an SNES game that I could never figure out how to play, but loved. o_O I think I couldn't even pass the first stage or first action or...

    Defend your hated character!

    Everyone must have a character that they like who seems to be hated by many fans. Some of you may even like a generally popular character who is hated by your intelligent peers with such strong back lash and you are scared to admit that you are one of "them". This is your chance to defend your...

    The Disappointment with Alice

    I was very happy with Koudelka's character in that game. She was strong and different from the regular "Rescue me my prince!" damsels in distress who always seem to make an appearance in RPG games. I assumed that Shadow Hearts was going to have an equally strong female lead, but we got Alice...

    Videogame Myths and Urban Legends

    I'm very gullible, so I end up believing most of what people tell me. X_X Recently, Mr. Skyewelse (Thomas) told me about how the Japanese version of Final Fantasy IV actually had a way to ressurect Palom and Polom that was taken out of the US version. He told it to me in such a convincing way...
