Conversation Between No One and Finch

I started Hyperdimension Neptunia Mk2 yesterday. I'm shocked, Idea Factory actually made a decent game! The graphics are mostly terrible and the frame rate is laughable, but the game itself is completely playable without any of their usual superfluous, overly-complex bullshit battle/leveling systems. I really hope that carries over into V. I just about died when Takahashi Meijin showed up at the very beginning - so cool!

Ahhhh, I thought she sounded familiar. I didn't know V was getting an LE at all, let alone one that comes with two (!!) lunch boxes/tins. Hmmmm, not sure I'm going to be able to resist spending the extra money now. I need to hurry up and finish the first. March isn't that far off!

Arrrgh, the NIS store says they're almost out of the LE. THAT DOES IT, I'M ORDERING IT.

Yawara! has been great so far (I think I'm up to episode 13). I've only been watching it on weeks when my stepdaughter is staying with us, since she's really taken a liking to it. I'd really like her to have more exposure to anime from the 80s. I guess a lot of her middle school classmates are into Vampire Knight and it's ilk, so we're taking a break from Yawara! to watch the original OVA version of Vampire Princess Miyu. I still have all the old expensive AnimEigo releases on those crazy-colored VHS tapes!

NepNep is my favorite, her English voice actress (Ed from Cowboy Bebop!) is perfect. i just ordered the lunchbox set of the 3rd game... it's terrible of me to do, but the Neptune LE sets seem to retain their value really well, and i know i'll enjoy the 3rd game.

Have you been watching Yawara? It just keeps getting better as it goes!

The first one. I've got the second lined up next in my GameFly queue. Overall reaction to both games hasn't been very positive (and let's be honest, most Idea Factory/Compile Heart games are kind of terrible), but it's one of those series I've been wanting to check out for a while now and finally can now that I have a PS3. Yes it's shameless, but it's also rather clever.

The first one or the 2nd one?

She's crazy about Marceline (I knew this even before watching the show with her thanks to the half-dozen Marceline shirts she owns). A few weeks would be perfect timing, since I should be recovered from Christmas shopping by then. $25 sounds more than fair!

I have most of the materials and the paper itself isn't expensive if i have to get more. Would $25 be okay? I'll make something a little different from the one i posted. Does she have a favorite character or are there certain characters she really likes?

She would absolutely love it. Pretty much everything we got her for Christmas this year is Adventure Time-related; it's literally all she wanted. If you let me know what the costs are for the materials and your time, I'd be happy to compensate you for it. I insist!

THANKS! It looks like it's cheap at the local Gamestops, so if i can find one that's not in awful condition i'll buy it!

If for whatever reason you can't find Nier for cheap, let me know and I will gladly buy you a copy.

I suppose there's a (very very) slim chance something like that could happen with P4 Arena, but Atlus seems content to let everything prior to 3 remain obscure. Such a waste of great characters.

I want Persona 2 fighting game characters. I want to play as Ginko. It'd be neat if they even just had Ma-ya~

I was looking for a cute Persona 2 pic to post here and came across these:

She loves ham SO MUCH.

SHHHHH, I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT A SECRET JEEZ. Thanks, Finch.

Happy birthday No One! OR SHOULD I SAY BIFF!>?!!?!??!?!?>!N?!?!?!><M!?

I beat the regular mode today and the dumb xbox froze up immediately after the credits!

There should be more Hungarian-Japanese games. It reminds me of a modern day Dreamcast game for some reason.

Nobody's really talking about it and it wasn't released to much fanfare, but I'd been keeping an eye on it because of who was involved in its development. Even if it played terribly, it's just so interesting aesthetically and thematically that I'd still love it. Thankfully, underneath all that brilliance it's a fantastic shooter by any standard. Arcade mode is brutal but really addictive!

Sine Mora is so good. I need to look at the Xbox Live thread more often.

I haven't finished it yet! I have 20 episodes left!

Finally finished GE999 over the weekend. My stepdaughter ended up really liking it, so I'd wait until Friday night and she didn't have school stuff to resume where we'd left off. It was a pretty cool little ritual, and I got to share some characters and stories I loved growing up. She wants to check out Captain Harlock next. Thanks for pointing me towards all those episodes!
