Half-Minute Hero
Evilo
A little bit of back story here. Kiko was originally going to stream Phantasy Star Portable 2 for us, but as you may know, the demo doesn't work with custom firmware, which means no Remote Joy, therefore no streaming. I was dissapointed that I didn't get to watch Kiko play PSPo2, but if it wasn't for that set-back, then I wouldn't have discovered Half-Minute Hero, which is what Kiko started playing instead. It's a lovely little game, and just gives me another reason to get a PSP before this year's end. That's really all I wanted to say! That particular moment in the stream was priceless too. XD

Arceus at Toys R Us
Arceus
Wonder Card front and back

The Arceus distribution at Toys R Us stores across America and Puerto Rico has started today, and ends on November 15th. It's level 100, comes holding a Rowap Berry, and knows a few moves that it doesn't learn normally. The Australian version of the event is happening right now too, so I guess I'll also mention that! For those of you in Australia, Arceus is available at EB Games, and the distribution ends on November 16th. If you trade this Arceus over to the upcoming HeartGold and SoulSilver games, you'll get a special event with Cynthia where you can obtain a level 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina. Neato~

Dohoho, been awhile since I made a Pokemon post. My progress has come to a stand-still due to a certain other game rearing its head. Doesn't help that I saved right before the Elite 4 either. I'm thinking... do I just try to brute-force my way through, or double back and fix up my team's movesets? Leaning towards the latter because Empoleon somehow ended up stuck with 4 HM moves. Terrible orz. The only ones worth using in battle are surf and fly, the rest are useless! Welp, that's all. See yas!

Pangya USA 4.511.01 Update
Fantasy Outfit
Small update today. Halloween is over so all that stuff is gone. The new Gacha items are the fantasy outfits for Nuri, Hana, Max, and Arin. The Papel Shop item has been changed as well, to Devil's Tails. Anything's better than feathers for another month, but the win rate is still crap. Ntreev swears it's the same, but how did I always manage to win something on Albatross18 with only 25k-50k pang? Dumb luck!? Forums goers freaking out over it as usual, lol.

Twinkle Star Comet
If you played any 18 hole games over the weekend, you should have received some Twinkle Star Comets today too. No fancy effect when they're shot, but hey, free comets, can't complain. Lastly, some small fixes were made. Mulligan Roses are back in the shop, the stats on Cecilia's yukata are fixed, and Hana's SSAF set now includes the gloves. If you won a SSAF set for Hana before this fix and didn't get the gloves, simply send in a 1:1 report to receive them. Laters!

Pangya chip in video; Recent buys
I just finished putting together a short chip in video. Nothing fancy, as it's mostly short shots, all from replay tapes, and there was no attempt made to time anything to the music. ^^; The song is "Child of Magic" from Gyakuten Meets Jazz Soul. Nice CD. But yeah lol, getting the footage was like pulling teeth. Pangya and Fraps crashed about 4 times while I was recording. I dunno why it's so finicky with Pangya, works fine with every other game I've tried it in.

Some kind of Phantasy Star 0 review
Phantasy Star 0
What's that? This isn't the visual chat post I was supposed to do?! My apologies, it's just that the December 2009 issue of Nintendo Power has a review of Phantasy Star 0, so I thought we'd take a look at it, and then follow up with my own needless rambles.

Phantasy Star 0
Reviewer: Casey L.

Pros
-"satisfying and substantial online experience"
-new evasive rolls and charge up attacks make the combat a little less simplistic (than Phantasy Star Online)
-solid story mode; more enjoyable than SP modes in previous Phantasy Star Online games
-good production values
-"reasonably compelling plot"
-multiplayer is a blast
-Co-op play is the reason to buy Phantasy Star 0

Cons
-the interface is a disaster
-the menus are poorly designed to the point that it apparently takes away your choices in battle and hurts the overall depth
-quick swapping weapons is apparently gone, which means you have to use the aforementioned interface in order to switch from ranged attacks to melee.
-Co-op play is the only reason to buy Phantasy Star 0

Score: 8.0


And there ya have it! Review summary courtesy of NeoGAF member grandjedi6. Read on if you'd like to see my own thoughts and recent happenings.

Pangya USA 4.510.01 Update
Pangya Edo
Huge Pangya update today! These guys are like vampires, only instead of blood they feed on money. =P Just finished poking around to see what's new. Japanese style outfits for everyone have been added, and are available until the 12th of November. Let's check those out first~

Nuri, Hana, Azer, Cecilia, Max, Arin, Kooh, Kaz, Lucia

Everyone's is pretty cool, but I'm really torn between Arin and Kaz's sets. I'll probably go for Kaz though, since I have his Hanbok from back when those were released too. Aside from all that new clothes, Hana's motion items are now available, along with some hugely discounted item packs, and a new set of scratchy rares. Read on to check out the rest.

PSU Oct 30th Update: Colony GBR, Halloween, etc
Rappy Latan
I'm gonna be leaving for Boston later today, so I'm gonna get these game update posts outta the way before all that. I honestly have no idea when I'll be back, so if anything happens during that time, I won't be able to post it here, sorry. ^^; Let's start with the quick one!

Phantasy Star Universe will be getting an update on the 30th. No late Halloween this year, haha. The Halloween lobbies also means Rappy Latan will be around, and hopefully dropping Pumpkin Trick rods like they were supposed to before. >_>; The Halloween room theme will also be in the variety shop at the Colony. There's also the usual Casino item rotation.

On top of that, Colony GBR will begin, and lasts until November 20th. The GBR missions are The Black Nest, The Dark God, Dark Satellite and SEED Awakened, now in S3 flavor. =P The final rare mission, Phantom Ruins, will also be added, which is available at the Colony as well. Lastly, the level cap will be raised to 170. Bout time! Good luck raking in rares and exp!

Okay, there's also a Pangya update coming in a few hours. Will start on the post about it after it goes live. Looks like I'm sleeping on the train today. XD;
