So the PC version of Actress Again finally came out. Netplay apparently doesn't work yet but hnnnnnnnnnngh dat Shiki. I'd be up for some fun time fight times. Hopefully /jp/ will oblige.
I have it and it's cracked with working netplay.
Got it all sorted this morning. I'm out of town at the moment and can't mess with router shit and I don't have that much free time. Next week though I'll be back in MA. Have you tried netplay yet? /jp/ can't seem to agree whether it's better/worse than the netplay for AC. At this point it at least looks better tailored for it. Let's hope this revives the meltan community on 4chan.
Yeah I tried netplay with a friend and it was working fine. You just need to make sure to forward your ports on your router.
This is hands down the best show of the season right now. If you've seen Fate/Stay Night, you definitely need to see Fate/Zero.
I wish all the bookfriends in /jp/ hadn't already spoiled it for me long ago. It's done just as I envisioned it though, Shin Assassin and Berserkalot are perfect. I hope this results in:a. A re-release of R1 Kara no Kyoukaib. Some animation of Heaven's Feelc. A remake of Tsukihime with motherfucking Zelretch.I'm a couple eps behind, need to catch up.

Did you know Alexander the Great fought a pack of unicorns?
>Rin episodeSeriously I thought we had Carnival Phantasm to sustain people who are obsessed with Rin, rather than shoehorn her into a story she wasn't supposed to know anything about... Oh well, I hope we get an Assassin back story episode. That whole thing in the ED where the song swells and it pans up to the Fortress of Alamut is awesome, but it'll be kind of silly if they die without explaining at all who the Hassassins were beyond their reputation in the West.

>At long last a SMT fighter and it's official it can have Shoji Meguro music like I always wanted.>P3&4 only.Mang. I hope at least it's super popular so they do an update, at least add Hitoshura, berserker Serph, Raido, maybe some older folks. I imagine two of the hidden characters will be Naoto and Teddie, don't know who the other two will be, probably at least one more P3 character and then maybe Adachi, Izanami?More screens: http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2011/08/31-1/first-screens-emerge-for-persona-4-fighting-game

I'm hoping this game will get a lot of support.Also you should have seen the Norcal Install streaming high level 1v1 Catherine. Shit was so hype.

Also you should have seen the Norcal Install streaming high level 1v1 Catherine. Shit was so hype.
I didn't really understand all the Western hype for Catherine, it seems like a meh visual novel with block puzzles used as test for the new graphical engine I assume Persona 5 will run on. Either way yeah, I hope for support. I also remembered that Devil Summoner takes place in the same 'verse as Persona so maybe Raidou will be in it, and it'd be neat to reincorporate Philemon as an uber boss, or someone from Persona 1 or 2. I'd like to see a wraithish version of the Persona 3 MC with Thanatos too.Also I've been playing Devil Survivor on my 3DS since I never got around to the original. A severely under-appreciated game, does such a good job of incorporating stuff from the main series and the Yahweh/Lucifer dialectic, especially compared to the blandfest that was Strange Journey's plot. Also six different game paths holy shit, I'm never going to be able to do everything in this game. The only bad part is no Shoji Meguro music but oh well.

It's not so much the visual novel part of the game that people were getting into, but the puzzle game itself. High level Catherine play requires a lot of skill, patience and mind games. That's what makes it so interesting and exciting.
I played some Catherine whilst visiting upstate NY. I now understand the dimensions of multiplayer. Fuck yeah sheep.Persona 2 is amazing. Lisa is heroine of the year all years. Also her dad is Steven Seagal.Watched the first episode of the P4 anime and wasn't really wowed...might watch it all when it's done. Also Izanami was totally a dude. That's not going to be awkward to explain later or anything. I guess it's magic, she aint gotta explain shit.

So these two and Naoto and Teddie fill it out. I was secretly hoping for Mitsuru but I didn't want to jinx it, Artemisia's crazy sword whip will be cool too. Akihiko...whatever. If the console version is really a year away I hope they throw in a non-P3/4 character or two. Now the wait begins :| .
http://calendar.boston.com/cambridge-ma/events/show/217057205-umberto-eco-reads-from-the-prague-cemeterySo Umberto Eco is going to be in Cambridge on Saturday. I have tickets and have already written out my question about the shield of Achilles and whether or not Homer understood the theory of relativity. I'm bringing my copy of Foucault's Pendulum too but I doubt he'll sign anything :| .

http://io9.com/5818352/have-summer-glau-and-peter-dinklage-made-the-greatest-movie-everIn this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who's just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield. When Joe's "sorcerer" roommate (Zahn) inadvertently summons a deadly succubus that takes Beth's seductive form, bloody reality crashes down upon their fantasy world. Once LARPers start to turn up dead, the make-believe wizards and warriors must become the real life heroes they have been pretending to be in order to conquer the evil that has been unleashed.

Does Dinklage's sword have two hilts? Awesome.Here's that picture of GRRM, as promised.

Do you want Freys with that?I have to say Dance was everything I was hoping for in terms of continuing those three big story lines from Storm, and enough of the Feast chapters to answer some questions AND no Sansa chapters! Those are some great big kick in the balls cliffhangers at the end there, though.

Yeah, god damn GRRM. He still got me with Jon Snow even though it was so blatantly obvious that something had to happen there. :/ Tyrion in this book was like Arya early on - just drifting from captor to captor with no purpose, but at least the end he seemed to be taking control back.
Yeah, Jon said the words, he kept edging up to it then backing away before, but he finally crossed that line, it had to happen. Tyrion did feel sort of like a vehicle for developing Illyrio, Aegon, Jorah, etc. but it's still Tyrion, I enjoyed it. He is a great foil for the curmudgeonly bear.

Fuck yeah Dinklage wins the Emmy. Hope to see him back up there next year after his epic turn in the Battle of the Blackwater.
:/
Is it time for caturday?
Anyone else reading/watching A Game of Bros? I'm about halfway through the book and I must say I rather enjoyed the adaptation with the exception of Daenerys. Her actress is just constantly listless and it looks like HBO is going to make her get naked every episode for ratings. Feels bad man :/ . Also I was kind of hoping the Hound's armor would look like the Berserker armor, but, alas, no.
Maybe more Arya and Sansa (ugh) too? They hardly got any in 4 . I feel like them plus Jon/Dany/Davos/Tyrion and maybe a smattering of Greyjoy/Dorne chapters is how 5 will go. If wikipedia can be believed though I would really like to see at least a little bit of the twins. For all of 4's shortcomings finally having a first-person glimpse into Cersei's insanity was really fulfilling. As for FrankenGregor, I get this strange feeling GRRM is saving him for Gra(AAAAAAAA)vedigger Sandor, because that was so obviously him. He wouldn't spend all that time setting up the two of them only to deny a final confrontation (except he would, that fucker :| ).Looking forward to battle axe Tyrion tonight.

Why are we continuously cheated out of Tyrion battle-axing dudes to death by HBO? Is it too expensive to choreograph fight sequences with a dwarf?
Apparently. The chan was aptly pointing out that Rome in its first season did not have the budget for anything more than little fight scenes. This blows because we got cheated out of some big parts of GoT, but let us now hope that they'll make the Blackwater cool next season. Also they better not shit out on Dany next episode and only show the dragons' shadows or some bullshit. That's a pretty iconic scene...Also they fucked up Varys' motivation bit and Ned's dream about Dorne/The Tower of Joy. Also instead of charming teenage white trash Shea is now apparently a 30-something sultry Turkish/German ex-porn star. I hope she can make people trust her enough for the big whomp whomp in SoS.

I like how they made her "foreign" to explain her accent too.I did enjoy the added scene of Tyrion, Bronn, and Shae hanging out before the battle though.

Agreed, much better than all the extra Theon Turncloak shit. Tyrion's strange little artificial family he builds up around himself is what makes 2 so great.Image unrelated.

I probably should - I work right down the street from there and that's where I would buy the book anyways.
When are you going over tomorrow? It just occurred to me that they'll be selling the book all day and between diehards/people on lunch break I hope they don't run out sometime before my original planned arrival time of 4. If you are there earlier could you give a status update of sorts?
Well the lady who answered the phone at B&N seemed very confident (and super mad) that they would not run out under any circumstances so I guess I'll mosey on up there before rush hour traffic begins.
I hope to leave the office around 4ish, should be at B&N around 4:15.

Ponies? On my image board?It's more likely than you think.

So I finished Star Ocean 1 this morning, having recently acquired copies of 2 and 3, and whilst cruising through Tri Ace wikis and figuring out how to fight that old bastard Gabriel Celeste I saw that apparently Tri Ace just announced this Beyond the Labyrinth game for the 3DS. You can find some screenshots online, but, any buyer's remorse I had with the 3DS is quickly fading. Tri Ace has yet to let me down and whatever this is I know they'll make it awesome.Nintendo has really dropped the ball on big jRPGs lately though, between two Tales games for the DS, one for the Wii, The Last Story, Xenoblade, etc.Obligatory whining about lack of Valkyrie Profile Hrist.Also site below w/ some music:http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/labyrinth/
