I do not understand this "put stuff on my desk" mentality.

[Bloodworth]

Oh crap! It says sold out now.

I do not understand this "put stuff on my desk" mentality.

I like nice things. Also my co-workers have all kinds of crazy stuff like Solid Snake, Cloud on a Motorcycle, Transformers, Kratos, Phoenix Wright, etc.

[RABicle]

I have a Shiftry. It's the best.

[Pale]

I have hmm,

Mario in a Kart with banana's a turtle shells
Mario by himself
Young Link from Ocarina of Time
Gundam Deathscythe
Stuffed Pikachu
Naruto
Zack & Wiki flag, treasure chest, and bell
The Powerpuff Girls
Space Ghost sitting at his Coast to Coast desk
Moltar and his command station


I thinks that's it...

[EasyCure]

RC Mario Kart (in box)

Mario/ Luigi mini-figurines (from nintendo world store)

OOOoooold mario figurine with a fireball coming out of his hand

old-skool IceMan figure

Red/Blue/Green mushroom tins (collected them after i ate the candy)

Adult link figurine (stupid me, i bent the small sword that came with it and part of the shield broke from a drop, so Links just standing there awkwardly)

Small scale replica of Hylian Shield and Mastersword (came with the soundtrack)

Hylian sheild and Master sword that i've yet to mount on my wall

Unopened copy of Zelda: A  Link To The Past (re-release i believe, but still a collectible to me)

posable MegaMan X figure

Chain-Chomp Soccer ball

Stuffed Mario and Yoshi figures

NES contoller shaped belt buckle

Golden Triforce Belt buckle

Oh and various nintendo themed pins that i COULD put on my NES backback that i dont use....
man i wasted so much money out of my AWESOME Zelda wallet on this stuff :(

[Bloodworth]

Back to the subject at hand, how are people doing so far? I've got two days left in the third game. I just ordered a retail copy too since the ROM will have to go back to S-E.

[EasyCure]

i was only able to play until that wolf boss thing since i was really only trying to check the game out. I still want to finish with Phantom Hourglass before starting this one, so i might even start my WEWY save file over again just so i dont forget what the hell is going on.

So far though the game is alright. Hasn't captured me yet, but i'm hoping it will. The dual combat system was a little confusing at first but its easy to adapt to when you realize you dont have to input EVERYTHING you see on the top screen (rather you just pick a combo and complete it). As for the bottom screen battles... I didn't really like how i'd try to run and instead i'd use my Fire Psyche move instead. I guess that comes from playing Zelda so much recently where you tap and drag anywhere on screen to move your character. I'm sure once i give the game the proper time i'll adjust.

[Bloodworth]

Yeah, it's definitely hard to dodge. You basically have to press on Neku and then drag, but like you said, that input overlaps with a lot of pin inputs. I finally beat it last night, and afterwards you can skip to any chapter to collect pins and extra reports related to the story. The plot is really good by the way, and it keeps you guessing to the very end.

[Bloodworth]

Woot, my review is up, my retail copy came today, and I got my Neku figurine. All in one day. Awesome.

[Kairon]

Sounds like you finally reviewed a good game Bloodworth!

Oh, and my roommate's been sucked into this game the past week. He's sunk in more than  40 hours so far.

[DAaaMan64]

I watched your review. That game looks damn good. Good job.

[blackfootsteps]

Instead of stylus and d pad can you use the stylus and the buttons?

[KDR_11k]

yes

BTW, am I the only one whose pins level faster when the system is off than when I'm playing?

[Bloodworth]

yes

Are you getting high ranks in battles? Your pin experience is based on performance, so if you're always getting Es, it's gonna be slow going. You'd have to be spending a lot of time between sessions to make up for it too.

[Crimm]

I finish Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of __________ and I go to get the game... I should have bought it when I had the chance.

[KDR_11k]

Depends on the battle, the rank varies greatly though the result always seems to be around 3-7 PP. Off-time gives you one PP per 10 minutes I think, that adds up quickly. I play the game on the commute so it's only on for an hour or two a day. Plenty of time to get PP. To match the 144 PP on the first day I'd have to fight 20-30 battles, that's a lot and I don't fight nearly as much per day. I'd have expected something like 5-10 PP per day, when I turned the DS on for the first time after getting the shutdown sticker all my equipped pins shot up to max level.

I was getting between 30 - 150 PP out of each battle. Try raising your difficulty setting or lowering your experience level.

I'm fighting at Lv1 on Medium difficulty, the highest I have ATM.

I was considering checking out WEWY before, but your review sold me to it. I've been itching for a good DS game, and this looks right up my alley.

One question, do you write the reviews while someone else narrates or do you write the review and narrate it?

I think gametrailers.com hires professional or highly skilled narrators to read the review scripts.

[Bloodworth]

Brandon, who reads most of the scripts, is actually one of the guys who started the site back in the day. If you listen to episode 5 of Invisible Walls, you can get the full story. The other guy (Rob) is one of our video editors who's also an actor.

[Flames_of_chaos]

Amazon is currently charging 29.99 for this game the only caveat right now is that they won't ship it until 2 - 4 weeks I guess they are restocking this one.

[Bloodworth]

You can get the soundtrack on itunes now. 36 songs for $9.99. Not a bad deal, especially if you're used to spending $30 - $50 to import these suckers.

I bought the soundtrack off of Itunes now since I bought Parallels for my MacBook and Parallels(the company) sent me a 15 dollar Itunes giftcard as a thank you for purchasing their software, so I spent 9.99 of it on the soundtrack and even though I do no like hip hop normally, this has a nifty blend of hip hop and rock types of music.
