Truth be said I AM feeling rusty. Not just feeling, I slowly rusting away. I had
the feeling that its beginning to deteriorate early this year but naaaaaah, I'm
not going to use that as an excuse for this time's review.
Yes, I realised that there are lots of errors. I edited some parts of the review
now and hopeful its not too obvious.
Thank you for the feedback, shoujoboy! I
will try to improve on my writing skills, and yeah, like they say "Watch
out for shoujoboy or jakulito!"

is Kiniro no Corda? I'm a colossal dork who gets burned by the sun in 3 seconds
flat, and I have absolutely never heard of this show?
2. Don't you hate writing reviews for shows that are average? Finding words to
portray the middle road is so much more difficult than "it was
amazing" or "it sucked hard". I personally know I am terrible at
reviews that hang around in the middle.
3. What the holy hell is Kiniro no Corda?
Uh... by definition? A total crap ass of an anime I spent watching three days on
my ass which revolves around nothing but a male harem and music. Um, do take my
advice and stay away from this series. Seriously. I have this ominous feeling
that if you ever watched it, and intended to review it, a heavy mass butchering
would explode.

Wow, for a crap ass anime to get middle of the road scores... I'd really hate to
see you write a review of a show that you threw some 1's and 2's at. I'll take
your advice and not watch the show, that I had no idea existed until
today.
I don't think I've ever watched an anime that deserves a 1 or 2 though. Yeah,
maybe some 3's or 4's... but 1... *shakes head* if it sucks that much, I
wouldn't even bother reviewing it in the first place.
Quote by shoujoboyYou beat my comment
on that review by 51 seconds. It's good to see that my comments have gotten to
the point where they deserve warnings.
Lol, hope you didn't take that comment the wrong way! I lurk in the review
section and I gotta say that your comments are always a pleasure to read
Quote by shoujoboyI have to know, is it
really moderating the community that you care about or just the title of
moderator? It honestly seems to me that you love flaunting that colored name of
yours more than you actually care to keep the community clean. Seriously, unless
the person just blatantly did somehting stupid, I usually just give friendly
reminders, as was the case in the return thread. She didn't seem to have a
problem with me simply telling her that so why did you? To be honest, I'd think
that instead of coming through deleting posts and accusing of mini-modding,
you'd want to instead reinforce my message with the fact that you are a mod.
Besides, I've reported far more threads than I used to after your last mini-mod
accusation, I just figured this one didn't deserve that kind of
treatment.
If you think I only care about this title you are wrong. I didn't become a mod
just to have the power, I actually care about this site which is why I still
come here daily.
Now as for your comment. There wasn't a problem in the past since you were only
trying to help members. I actually wish more members would step forward and
help, but that doesn't happen. My problem with your post was that it sounded a
little too condescending. It was helpful don't get me wrong, but I just felt it
didn't come off as a friendly reminder. It sounded more like a here's the rules
learn them post.
Perhaps I saw more then there really was, if that's the case then I'm sorry. I
will say though I have seen what mini-modding has done to other sites. I'm not
about to let that happen here. As far as not backing you up on your point, I've
already stated why. I will back up any member if they are genuinely trying to
help others. If I feel they aren't and are just trying to get browny points (I'm
not saying you are but some members have tried in the past) then I will correct
them.
Quote by shoujoboy"Why does it
feel like, somebody's watching me?" Children of the 80's better get a
catchy tune in their heads after reading that line. I was born in 83... one year
before the song and I know it, so you have no excuse 80's kids.
Anyway on to your... uh problem. It's obvious you believe in ghosts, which makes
the problem more difficult to address. I personally don't, so it's kind of a
foreign problem to me. I guess you are certain that it isn't some human at this
point right? Is there any reason you'd be paranoid right now, like something
that recently happened that would have you on edge? Is there a reason you'd
believe there was a ghost or spirit following you, like someone you knew or
something?
To be honest it seems like you have a Boogieman problem. Nearly everybody as a
kid was afraid of monsters under the bed or the closet, so we had those things
that protected us. In my case it was a nightlight, because monsters don't mess
with nightlights. That being said, what exactly wards away ghosts besides
ignoring them? Just find something that makes you at all comfortable, even if
it's maybe sleeping in the same bed as a relative until the fear subsides.
That's really all you can do.
That is of course if someone claiming to be the ghost whisperer comes in here
with different advice. If they do, just ignore it...
seriously.
Thank you for you input and advice. I apology for the late reply. You were right
I do believe in ghost, after all it is part of my culture belief. It has been
two days that feel I have is gone. At first I try to ignore it, but it got worse
to point where I hear some one or something call out my name. Good thing I
didn't respond because in my culture if you hear some one or something call out
your name. u not suppose to respond because if you do. they know that you know
there. In other words it make them essay access to control you body or follow
you. Anyways thanks again.
Quote by shoujoboy
I appreciate your input, and it's that kind of rational discussion that I was
looking for with this topic. I was more than aware of the fact that there would
be a great deal of people who likely had no way of changing their beliefs, but
it was interesting to see that was not only true of those who are religious, but
also of those who are not. Ultimately I wanted insight into why people thought
the way they did and to get a better idea of whether or not it was strength of
belief or just people being stubborn. I'd say it's a combination of both at this
point. Regardless, you put across good points without flaming others as many
members in this board typically do.
Oh, well thank you again ^^ Like I said I don't usually participate in those
discussions, but I thought the topic you made was an interesting one. I was also
interested in the answers of people who didn't have the same beliefs I did.
Thanks for letting me participate.
Nah, I'm not the flaming type...flaming is just another case of people not
really thinking ^^'
Quote by SulibresWhen I get a brain
transplant, my beliefs will change.
These are the kinds of comments that scare me. The fact that there is no
conceivable way to convince you that your way of thinking is wrong, is the type
of thinking that creates extremism and hate. Were I to have been your parent, I
could have taught you that all black people want to steal and rape. I could have
drilled that into your head and made you believe it. And beings that your belief
is absolute, nothing would be able to convince you that you were wrong in your
thoughts aside of a brain transplant? I guess no matter how much logic, proof or
discussion some people just assume they are right.
Hey, it was just a joke. Lighten up; I always believed you were the humorous
kind. To be honest, changing my beliefs would require, like you stated; logic,
proof, discussion, reasoning as well as events which turn everything I
understand and know upside down.
I was a former Roman Catholic until I found that whatever questions I asked
(Where does God come from, who made God, etc,etc) were brushed aside. As I grew
older, the notion of worshiping a man crucified to a cross (quite...gory and
sick if you ask me) became rather morbid and disturbing.
So I quit my religion and once my peers discovered my abandonment I received
more and more calls from them asking me to return or downright condemning me to
Hell and saying Jesus would punish me for I am a grave sinner. Then it struck
me; I was, according to them, to be persecuted by Jesus! The one man who would
have known anything and everything about persecution.
How's that for irony? Oh well; you can't have everything in life but at least
you still get your good moments. Vice may go punished and virtue unrewarded but
being the greedy little human beings we are, we'll find ways to reward
ourselves.
yo. sorry to hear about that kinda stuff. i don't know what it's like to go
through any of that stuff myself. you're not getting pity or sympathy but you do
have my regards man.
Quote by shoujoboyWell I'll leave it up
to you guys how you want to handle my info on this page. We have inactive
members still in the group and still up in the top, but at least they are still
confirmed alive. My reviewing and MT days are done so I guess a confirmed loss
can be done away with. Either way, I'm on Yahoo under shoujo_boy (Jak already
knows this) so keep in contact (if you actually care to). Keep representing MT
Review crew in that oh so defunct review section and remember; "What is
popular is not always good. What is good is not always popular."
Out.
Mate, I wish you well in whatever endeavours your future takes you and I'm sure
your ongoing critiques will be missed.

Quote by shoujoboyAzumanga Daioh was a
funny series to me. Not funny haha, but funny in how it could go from hilarious
to laborious over time. Initially I thought the humor in it was hilarious, but
as the same jokes were recycled and I was on the third school festival, I found
myself completely out of it. Having your hand randomly bitten by a cat = funny.
Having your hand bitten 1000 times by the same cat = not
funny.
Fair point. I agree with your point about the anime being recycled, but the
manga has slight differences with the different years (as in different events
being portrayed). As for being bitten by the same cat 1000 times, someone must
be obsessed with trying to pet it and not learning from a painful experience. I
agree it got a bit tedious by the end, but one could not help but hope that
things would turn out well.
Quote by shoujoboyFun fact, this series
sits at 95th all time... on my personal list consisting of 109 series. Yes, that
is a fun fact, fun because I'm an idiot that keeps lists, a fact in that my
reality is the only one that needs to matter.
Wow, you have a list of your favourite anime? That is impressive (and you are
not an idiot - just organised and you
have well-ordered priorities). I am impressed as my preferences tend to change
at will and I doubt I could derive a list as comprehensive as yours.
Quote by shoujoboyOh and you get no
actual comment on the makeup of your review, but that's because I'm
simultaneously commenting and surfing for dirty pictures, and my time has simply
run out.
Fair enough. I doubt there's anything more you could say that you haven't
already said previously - so I'll take that as a compliment. Besides, you had
your priorities and only a limited time to do them in - so multi-tasking was a
bonus.
Quote by shoujoboy
I don't know how many of my past reviews you've read, but I almost always have
an opening paragraph that has very little to do with the review itself. It's my
way of setting the tone of the review with either some kind of humor or history.
I just like to write loose and freeflowing so it's more conversational than it
is an essay. I will chalk your opinion of that style up as "Do not
like." Ha!
nope, that's the first one I read. Well, it's a rather interesting style but
don't like it a single bit...what you said :P
hey, i apologize for what I said to you in jakulito's thread.
I thought that you were dead serious about that joke *i can hardly say it's a
joke since you used foul words against me*
at the same time, i wanna thank you
I suppose you aren't used to my sense of humor. "English mother f***er, do
you speak it" is a line used by Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction. I guess
for those who may not have seen the movie, know my sense of humor or that I'm
friends with Jak might have been confused. I do, however, think I was at a
disadvantage from the start. I saw Jak's guestbook and saw that you already had
a negative view of me... calling me a bully and even gay. I'm not sure if those
opinions were just borne of anger or if I had previously done something to you
that would lead you to that kind of conclusion. I don't recall ever having much
interaction with you in the past, so I'm not sure where you would have drawn
those types of conclusions. Either way, what's done is done.
that's why i'm asking for your forgiveness. i'm really, really sorry about that.
i didn't mean to say those words. i just got annoyed but got ashamed in the end
after knowing that it's just a misunderstanding. please don't mind those words,
the world heck knows you're not one of the "association"
one more thing, i don't know that movie since i'm not a fan of samuel L. jackson
and, by experience, guys call me mother f*****, bitch, so on and so forth when
they bully me or whenever i treat them like a stinkin' trash *like when they
want me to edit their mistakes in a quiz and i didn't*
once again, i'm really, really sorry. i won't do it again

i'm really sorry, i was drawn by anger.
Quote by shoujoboyIt's pretty pointless
for me to go off and say what I thoght of your review, I'd end up redundant, so
instead I will comment on Silent Mobius itself. I actually saw a few episodes of
this show when Tech TV showed it on late night Anime Unleashed. Just the little
bit that I saw had me addicted. Then I bought the DVD's and was still loving
every minute of it. But the way the series concluded, not just the ending but
the latter half of the series, dissapointed the hell out of me. It was so
unfulfilling. I personally wouldn't have given the plot an 8 since the way a
show ends is a huge deciding factor in my overall scores. But that's because I'm
a harda$$.
Thanks again Sho. You may heap praise on my reviews - and continue to flatter my
ego (you can probably hear the "whoosh, whoosh" of my head inflating
here)
Anyways, if you liked the anime version this is one I'd strongly recommend you
invest in the manga if you haven't already done so, despite any prejudices you
may hold to reading manga. The manga at least concludes the story with a really
decent fight that'll leave the anime reeling if it was produced.
Quote by shoujoboy
Wow, call this message unexpected. Just so you know, flattery will get you
EVERYWHERE! Your name isn't one I've forgotten per se, just haven't seen much
of. There are only a few names I see around this site that actually ring a bell
and yours is one of them. I really appreciate your support and I had no idea
there was someone out there that truly enjoyed my ramblings.
I hear you about the college thing. I got out of the military in December and am
looking at going back to finish my last two years of college here in August. I
know, I'm 24 and working on a degree... I'm behind. Cut me some slack. Hopefully
I'll still be able to dedicate myself to the things I love, but we'll see how
good I am at balancing.
As for reviews, I'm always looking for that next thing. I'm finishing up a
review on Sola and I've just gotten underway on Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru. It
never stops with me...
As for adding me as a friend, I certainly don't mind. Hopefully you won't mind
if I reciprocate that sentiment. Well, see you
around.
Now that was unexpected. I'm
glad my name is forever engraved into your mind. Long but weird nickname serves
its purpose successfully.
No, seriously, your reviews are good. I'm not flattering you or something, lol,
joking. I mean, seriously, people enjoy more thoughts-input reviews rather than
just nod-nod nice reviews. Ramblings are good thing.
Owh? You were in the military during your degree? What degree course are you
taking actually? I think I remembered you mentioning law somewhere... correct me
if I'm wrong.
Thanks for the watch. I saw your latest review on Sola. Havent gotten a proper
personal-moment with the computer yet so since I am now, I'll be reading your
review.
Quote by shoujoboyBut you wouldn't want
to do that because I bring fun wherever I go. I could just up and leave the site
and then what? THEN WHAT I ASK! If your answer is anything other than "we
would all weep for the tremendous loss", then I am going to assume you are
lying. Otherwise my ego may be shattered beyond
repair.
You're infiltrating my guestbook now? oooh, what
shall I do with you *holds lightning bolt in hand*
Oh fine, the site won't be the same without you and jak bickering and you
enlightening the newbies.
Hi there, shoujoboy! It's me, in case you've forgotten my existence.
Anyway, I was just browsing about MT after being away for so long (and also
being abducted by college) and yeah, your name flashed through my mind. (most
probably because of your reviews that I love to read )
Putting that aside, how are you doing? Any interesting anime that you're going
to review? I hope there is!
Argh, before I forgot. *press 'stalk' button* I hope you don't mind. I'm really
looking forward to your reviews!
shoujoboy
thanks for commenting on my thread =D
i think it might be good for you to have your wisdoms pulled... it might cause
problems in the future... but if it doesn't bother you now, you don't have to =)
haha wow you're good with pain~ why did you have a root canal? oh... firefly is
totally true.... but dont feel forced to do it~ x_X
m.i.a. ^^
Quote by shoujoboyI hear ya, but all I
ever seem to get is different dentists saying different things. Some say keep
them, others say no. I also have two vampire like teeth pretty high up in my
gums and I get the same back and forth. I'm bout tempted just to bash my face
into a wall, knock them all out and start from scratch with Vaniers or dentures.
Can't win for losing I swear. Thanks for the advice though... more ammo for the
next time I go to the dentist.
Isn't that always how it
works? We really just can't win. Though I'd refrain from the face
bashing... don't want to mess up those (assumed) good looks! j/k
j/k! Well, good luck with your next visit!
Quote by Shoujoboy I could tell that
you had a thing for survival horror when seeing the Fatal Frame homepage, but
what about scary games in general? Just bringing that up because if you like the
whole scary aspect, a good bet would be Condemned 1 & 2, assuming you
haven't played them already or if you even enjoy FPS.
And even though my forte is RPG's, I do enjoy survival horror, so I'd be curious
to know what you find to be some of the best out there. A genre I enjoy... just
not too familiar with it all. Thanks for humoring
me.
I would love to play Condemned... I got to see a little bit of it when my
brother was playing, and it looked like fun. I'm saving up for an Xbox360, but
it will be a while before I can get one
I like to try different games, so I'm generally up for most games if they sound
interesting enough. My cousin actually introduced me to rpgs with Final Fantasy
VII and Suikoden II, and then my brother got me to play Silent Hill...
I don't really know where to begin with survival horror, especially since I
don't know what all you've played. There's alot of it that I myself haven't even
been able to play yet. I'm the most familiar with the Silent Hill & Fatal
Frame series, and they tend to be my favorites out of what I have played.
They're pretty artistic and place a lot of emphasis on exploration and detail,
as well as storyline.
Well, I could go on for a while about each game so let me put it this way, these
are what I own (all PS2 games): Silent Hill 1-4, Silent Hill Origins; Fatal Frame 1-3; Clock Tower
3; Haunting Ground; Kuon; Rule of
Rose; Parasite Eve 1 & 2; and
then the two I haven't finished are Siren
& Obscure. I've also played some of
Resident Evil... and this is really just a drop in the bucket for what is out
there.
They're all relatively different styles of games, so a lot of it just depends on
what aspects of a game you put the most emphasis on to be enjoyable. The two
I've played that I won't recommend
would be these two:
Rule of Rose - It's combat system is
pretty bad, and it's a long, repetitive game that has only 2 levels that are
mildly creepy at best. The characters are interesting and it has a nice variety
of weapons, but with the combat so severely lacking and the drudging storyling
these two highlights weren't really worth it.
Clock Tower 3 - It's interesting enough
as far as the story goes, but the basic set-up of the game is compared to what I
call the "spring-loaded-cat-syndome". The "spring loaded
cat" refers to in a scary movie when a cat or other object suddenly jumps
out and startles you. Clock Tower 3 revolves around this set-up, but it's
spring-loaded-cat is broken and keeps jumping out. So in the end it becomes more
cumbersome than scary, and it prevents you from taking time to really
investigate and observe everything around you.
I'm sorry if this isn't very helpful. I think I might be able to give you a
better recommendation if I knew what you really look for in a scary game. Well,
since this post has gone on for awhile I stop for now
Quote by shoujoboyA show you rated as
average ended up as the Anime Spotlight on the Maigetsu? Where were you to
protest that decision? For shame.
But I watched this after
the Anime Spotlight on the Maigetsu was written and published. Actually I more
or less decided to watch this after brom wrote that article to see for myself
what this series was like (though I guess I've heard about this series for a
while and have been wanting to check it out for a while)
Quote: Aside of that, its the type
of review I expect from you... although I've somewhat forgot what I expect of
you since you NEVER WRITE! Well written and right on my level. Davidh01 just
seems to write over my head, Jakulito seems to baffle me, but you and I seem to
have the same writing style overall (minus you don't attempt humor like I do...
key word attempt). It must be insulting to be compared to me, BUT THAT'S TOO
BAD! I did go there.
I have a writing style? O__o Hey
don't just yell at me, what about those other people who never write?

Quote: And as for your opening
questions "Do you have a grudge against someone? Do you hate them enough to
want to send them to Hell?"... let's just say you'd better hope I never
pull the red string. Just kidding you know I love you, it's Jak that has to
worry.
Nah I'm not worried, not like you know my real name to
be able to enter it into that website anyway =P
Quote by shoujoboy
As for the comment about the hardest game ever being Star Ocean 3 in 4-d mode...
I'd tend to believe that. I remember playing that in just normal, but I went for
all the battle trophies. Just the absurdity of getting some of those showed me
that game had some teeth to it. Honestly though, I'd probably say Shin Megami
Tensei Nocturne was the hardest game I've played. It was hard as hell on normal,
and the 2nd TUTORIAL enemy killed me on hard.
And that ends my return rant.
Aaah... Ranting... It lets off steam. Thanks
for the reply! I was scared away from Crisis Core after the movie and Dirge of
Cerberus, but I've still had the egging feeling that makes me want to try it
out. I don't know if Star Ocean 3 is the hardest game ever, but it's the hardest
one I've personally played that isn't a survival horror game. I guess you could
probably tell by my pseudo-rant earlier, but I really like difficult games (if
they require strategy and not reliant on luck), so I'll look into this Shin
Megami Tensei Nocturne... if I
can find it It's been a while since I've seen it at the game stores.
Anyways, thanks again for the input! Take care!
Thanks u so much, You helped me manythings

that's why i'm asking for your forgiveness. i'm really, really sorry about that. i didn't mean to say those words. i just got annoyed but got ashamed in the end after knowing that it's just a misunderstanding. please don't mind those words, the world heck knows you're not one of the "association"
one more thing, i don't know that movie since i'm not a fan of samuel L. jackson and, by experience, guys call me mother f*****, bitch, so on and so forth when they bully me or whenever i treat them like a stinkin' trash *like when they want me to edit their mistakes in a quiz and i didn't*
once again, i'm really, really sorry. i won't do it again

i'm really sorry, i was drawn by anger.
PS: please reply
Thank you, it might not be the answer i wanted but it's the truth.Again, thanks.
Thanks again Sho. You may heap praise on my reviews - and continue to flatter my ego (you can probably hear the "whoosh, whoosh" of my head inflating here)
Anyways, if you liked the anime version this is one I'd strongly recommend you invest in the manga if you haven't already done so, despite any prejudices you may hold to reading manga. The manga at least concludes the story with a really decent fight that'll leave the anime reeling if it was produced.
Now that was unexpected.
I'm
glad my name is forever engraved into your mind. Long but weird nickname serves
its purpose successfully.
No, seriously, your reviews are good. I'm not flattering you or something, lol, joking. I mean, seriously, people enjoy more thoughts-input reviews rather than just nod-nod nice reviews. Ramblings are good thing.
Owh? You were in the military during your degree? What degree course are you taking actually? I think I remembered you mentioning law somewhere... correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks for the watch. I saw your latest review on Sola. Havent gotten a proper personal-moment with the computer yet so since I am now, I'll be reading your review.
Hopefully you'll do well in your studies!
All the best.
She said we're bickering...
You're infiltrating my guestbook now? oooh, what shall I do with you *holds lightning bolt in hand*
Oh fine, the site won't be the same without you and jak bickering and you enlightening the newbies.
Hi there, shoujoboy! It's me, in case you've forgotten my existence.
Anyway, I was just browsing about MT after being away for so long (and also being abducted by college) and yeah, your name flashed through my mind. (most probably because of your reviews that I love to read
)
Putting that aside, how are you doing? Any interesting anime that you're going to review? I hope there is!
Argh, before I forgot. *press 'stalk' button* I hope you don't mind. I'm really looking forward to your reviews!
shoujoboy
thanks for commenting on my thread =D
i think it might be good for you to have your wisdoms pulled... it might cause problems in the future... but if it doesn't bother you now, you don't have to =) haha wow you're good with pain~ why did you have a root canal? oh... firefly is totally true.... but dont feel forced to do it~ x_X
m.i.a. ^^
Isn't that always how it works?
We really just can't win. Though I'd refrain from the face
bashing... don't want to mess up those (assumed) good looks!
j/k
j/k! Well, good luck with your next visit!
I would love to play Condemned... I got to see a little bit of it when my brother was playing, and it looked like fun. I'm saving up for an Xbox360, but it will be a while before I can get one
I like to try different games, so I'm generally up for most games if they sound
interesting enough. My cousin actually introduced me to rpgs with Final Fantasy
VII and Suikoden II, and then my brother got me to play Silent Hill...
I don't really know where to begin with survival horror, especially since I don't know what all you've played. There's alot of it that I myself haven't even been able to play yet. I'm the most familiar with the Silent Hill & Fatal Frame series, and they tend to be my favorites out of what I have played. They're pretty artistic and place a lot of emphasis on exploration and detail, as well as storyline.
Well, I could go on for a while about each game so let me put it this way, these are what I own (all PS2 games):
Silent Hill 1-4, Silent Hill Origins; Fatal Frame 1-3; Clock Tower 3; Haunting Ground; Kuon; Rule of Rose; Parasite Eve 1 & 2; and then the two I haven't finished are Siren & Obscure. I've also played some of Resident Evil... and this is really just a drop in the bucket for what is out there.
They're all relatively different styles of games, so a lot of it just depends on what aspects of a game you put the most emphasis on to be enjoyable. The two I've played that I won't recommend would be these two:
Rule of Rose - It's combat system is pretty bad, and it's a long, repetitive game that has only 2 levels that are mildly creepy at best. The characters are interesting and it has a nice variety of weapons, but with the combat so severely lacking and the drudging storyling these two highlights weren't really worth it.
Clock Tower 3 - It's interesting enough as far as the story goes, but the basic set-up of the game is compared to what I call the "spring-loaded-cat-syndome". The "spring loaded cat" refers to in a scary movie when a cat or other object suddenly jumps out and startles you. Clock Tower 3 revolves around this set-up, but it's spring-loaded-cat is broken and keeps jumping out. So in the end it becomes more cumbersome than scary, and it prevents you from taking time to really investigate and observe everything around you.
I'm sorry if this isn't very helpful. I think I might be able to give you a better recommendation if I knew what you really look for in a scary game. Well, since this post has gone on for awhile I stop for now
But I watched this after the Anime Spotlight on the Maigetsu was written and published. Actually I more or less decided to watch this after brom wrote that article to see for myself what this series was like (though I guess I've heard about this series for a while and have been wanting to check it out for a while)
I have a writing style? O__o
Hey
don't just yell at me, what about those other people who never write?
>__<
Nah I'm not worried, not like you know my real name to be able to enter it into that website anyway =P
Aaah... Ranting... It lets off steam.
Thanks
for the reply! I was scared away from Crisis Core after the movie and Dirge of
Cerberus, but I've still had the egging feeling that makes me want to try it
out. I don't know if Star Ocean 3 is the hardest game ever, but it's the hardest
one I've personally played that isn't a survival horror game. I guess you could
probably tell by my pseudo-rant earlier, but I really like difficult games (if
they require strategy and not reliant on luck), so I'll look into this Shin
Megami Tensei Nocturne...
if I
can find it
It's been a while since I've seen it at the game stores.
Anyways, thanks again for the input! Take care!
