Well, as of now he's got Catscratch over at Nickelodeon.

I thought the Earthworm Jim cartoon was awsome. How does this "Catscratch" pair up to it?

It took me a little over an hour. The Elder Princess Shroob. Over an hour to figure out how to kill her, and how to implement my plan. I didn't die. I didn't reset. I think that she could quite possibly be the longest boss battle I've ever faced.

The fact that I continually blew my money on 1-Up Supers throughout the game helped out alot, though.

Sadly, the local Gamestop didn't have Suikoden like the website said it did :(

Instead, I picked up Carnage Heart ($4.99) and Legaia 2 ($12.99). Haven't tried Legaia 2 yet (want to finish the first one before that), but Carnage Heart seems to have a rather complicated programming system, and I don't have the manual. It still had the tutorial disc, but that doesn't explain what the symbols on the tiles mean. Bah, I'll figure it out eventually :P

OK. Blowing into the mic to inflate your balloons manually isn't a bad idea. Having to park your kart to inflate them IS.

Thank Christ they ported over Block Fort. Fucker's so big, you can hide easily. And it is easily the greatest Mario Kart arena EVAR. And now it looks so pretty.

So, my two cents on the games I've been playing recently.

Final Fantasy IV - Nice remake. The quicksave option if a very nice touch, allows me to play while I'm on break and lunch at work. The extra abilities is sort of nice, but effectively are useless.
Pray - nine times out of ten, you waste your turn. If it works, it acts as a free Cure spell cast across your party. Not too effective when you first get Rosa, and sure as hell has no use by half way through the game.
Cry - makes it easier to run! Of course, if you started running by the time the battle started, then you would have already left before you used the power.
Regen - wastses a turn so once every three turns everyone recovers 10 hp. It is important to note you get this pretty much at the end of the game.

A few other powers have been really nerfed, too... like jump.
Party: Kain, jump!
Kain: Sure thing! Right after my nap...
*three rounds go by*
Kain: *yawn* Oh, I gotta watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy real quick...
*ten hours later*
Kain: Okay, now to make a quick sammich... oh! Jump, right...
*jumps; misses*
Me: Gad damn Blood Lance!

However, the bestiary is a very nice touch, and the updated script is also nice, too. 'Though I do wish they had left some of the old sound effects alone, like the Summoned Mist Dragon's breath attack. Overall though, it's a good time killer.

The next two will be shorter, trust me.

Dragon Quest 8 - I've only started it, but it seems nice. The graphichs on it are quite beautiful, but the movement for the guy and camera kinda suck. Well, until I plugged in my PS 2 controller with a non-fucked up analog stick, then I found it to be okay. The camera is still a little disconcerting when trying to move it up and down, but other than that, it seems alright.

Something I really don't like about this game though is the controlled save points: you can only save in churches, and that's it. I don't know if there will be wandering priests or something later in the game, but the fact that you have to be in town to save really irks me. I don't mind controlled save points if they have a quicksave feature (like Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter), but... this doesn't. Or if it does, I don't know how to find it.

Animal Crossing - Yes, the first one for the GameCube. Odd game, but kinda neat. For those of you who have not played it, you basically live in a town and help out the citizens while paying off your constant debt to a raccoon fucker named Nook. Very open ended, so you can feel lost at times.
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.

To be fair, your not required to stop, your just not allowed to be holding the acceleration.

And I agree, thank god for Block Fort.

Playing Black and White 2.

Kinda nice god game, except that your shoulder angels WONT FUCKING SHUT UP!!! And I don't mean that in the good way, which is Good and Evil constantly arguing with each other and making fun of each other and hurling insults and stuff, and just generally being funnier. That, I had expected and would have liked. But no, they don't like to argue. I guess it may be a sign of respect, it's obvious they know you're the boss, but... Meh. I really wish they'd shut up sometimes. Of course, they do come in handy warning you of things you'd forget. But mostly, a lot of the game is a tutorial. A really painful, long, annoying, agonizing tutorial.

Being able to read the rival's mind seems like a handy power until you actually use it.

The little god creature pet thing is kinda nice, though I'm now convinced that mine has ADD. They normally do things around your town that either help or hinder ya, and you can pet or punish your pet as you see fit.

Overall... addicting, yet annoying. A solid time-waster, I guess...

considering that you can warp back to town for only 1 mp, I consider this only to be a minor annoyance.

Suikoden 2?

Those last like 5 minets at best.

It was the first one. But forget about Suikoden, I may soon be the proud owner of a Neo Geo AES console w/ Samurai Spirits (a.k.a. Samurai Showdown). Assuming the store I found it in didn't sell it today after I left. Of course there'll be some sacrifice on my part to make it affordable: My pre-NES consoles games (Atari 2600 and Intellivision; I'll still have my good ol' Commodore 64 if I feel like playing games from that era), my spare Dreamcast, and my small Sega CD collection, none of which really get any attention anymore...

Suikoden 1 and 2 are getting remade for PSP.

Suikoden 5 looks prerry good from the clips released so far.

I've been playing a bit of Suikoden tactics, I think too much of it relies on having played Suikoden 4 (which I have not).

Well, so far only a Japan release is confirmed. Granted they'd be idiots not to bring it over to the U.S., but still...

Car: Just so you know, at the end of Rosa's Lunar Trial, assuming you save all of the villagers, you get an accessory that changes "Pray" to "Miracle", which not only ups the frequency of success, it also heals more health, generally only about 100-200, but I've had it heal an upwards of 1k.

According to one of the FAQs on GameFAQs, it actually makes it a 100% ratio of success, and it also casts Esuna as well. While that does make it cooler... it's also after you beat the game.
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat.
