Man, I wish I could get one of you awesome d00des to help me with this stupid "optional" boss in Birth by Sleep. I've only attempted it twice and failed miserably both times. XD
To top it off, I'm playing on Beginner Mode! I probably take two to three times LESS beating than people playing on Hard/Proud (like I think the boss can hit about 20 consecutive times and my chara will still be alive) and I'm still dying. How sad is that?
I guess my consolation on this is that it's not a story boss and traditionally, these sort of enemies can be tons more difficult.
Well, I'm just doing what I'm usually doing in a situation like this and levelling up HARDCORE so what I lack in skill can be made up by more offense and defense.
The problem with this logic though is that I'll still be taking a beating since levelling isn't going to help my reflexes. :P (Guarding?? What's that???) Ideally, I'd like to, you know, stop getting hit.
Edit: Nevermind! I beat the thing myself! On the 5th try! :DDDD!!!!!!!
*does a victory pose*

From The Magic Box:
"Sega will release an update patch for the PS3 version of Bayonetta on January 28, which includes some fixes and an option to install the game to hard drive, for shortening the load times"
"Nintendo announced a new Wii exclusive RPG XenoBlade, which is being developed by the Xenogears and Xenosaga creator Monolith Soft."
"Nintendo and Mistwalker announced The Last Story for Wii, a new high profile RPG from the father of Final Fantasy Hironobu Sakaguchi."
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:

Ye should try Soma Bringer and Sands of Destruction in the meantime. I believe both of them were done by people that worked on them Xeno games. I think Soma Bringer is a Monolith Soft game too. |

I didn't really think of it until Kotaku connected the dots for me, but I think Xenobade is the game that used to be known as Monado: Beginning of the World (revealed at E3 last year and then just sort of forgotten about). The sword on the Xenoblade teaser site ( www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/sx4j/index.html) is clearly the same sword, and both are RPGs published by Nintendo. (Then again, I don't know how much of it has changed since that trailer was made...) As for the Last Story, there doesn't seem to be anything out on it yet other than a logo and pretty music ( www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/slsj/index.html -- such pretty music!), but I'm playing through Lost Odyssey now and definitely enjoying it, so I'll definitely be keeping my eyes on this one. I just hope Nintendo of America actually brings it out here -- the only other Mistwalker game they published, ASH, never got an official translation (though there's a fan translation on the way). Also, 2012: Like Wyrd, not interested on principle. It's just not my kind of movie -- plus, I look forward to waking up just fine on December 22nd, 2012, with nothing much having changed over the prior few days.  |

Well, it's just been a lazy day so I want to see a mindless movie with CG explosions and people freaking out. :D
I think I'll pester my bro to see if he has the movie so I don't have to pay money to see it or spend bandwidth getting it the yar har har way.

The title shift makes me wonder if they're going to tie it into the Xeno-verse~ |

Soma Bringer never was brought over in english ne? Sand of Destruction on the other hand was........... *___* Ye hast just reminded I! I would jump upon it and correct my non-playings right now, if only I wasn't enjoying Disgaea so much. :'D So~! I shall put it on the next to play list! Right after Disgaea. And..... ah mi. Trailer! o____o It DOES look the same. It also looks VERY amazing. :O (The music on the site! <3) (More ramblings with edits and bad spelling fixings: I wonder if it'll take place before the Xenogears and after the Xenosaga timeline? With the forests and desert towns....)(I also remembered old thought of randomness: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle is not that bad when one is re-flipping through actual proper printed volumes. :'D Old thought of randomness part II: I don't think nunuu has any clue how amazingly inspiringly useful the RG Veda books have been for I! *random worshippings for selling*) |

Yeah! Like the dorks that decided it'd be a good idea to add some 3D portion to the Grammys.
I don't know why companies are pushing so hard for this technology. Is it because of the success of Avatar?
Ugh.

... I feel like I drop F-bombs too much sometimes, so if anyone is offended by it, please notify me and I will restrict my offensive nature as best I can.
Also, I swear I'm bipolar.

Yeah, Mutagene, I used to swear a stupid amount, but then I realized (and a bunch of people my age should too!) that swearing is bad. It is simply a bad habit. I still swear a bunch when talking, it is harder to censor your words than it is your fingers, but I can definitely control myself when parents and such are around.
Well, sometimes... heh. I've made a few mess ups in the past, but they've all become funny stories. Like the time I was at my friends trailer, and I was playing New Super Mario Bros. on the Vs. mode, and it was a particularly even battle. At one of the most tense points I let out an "Ohshitmuthafucka" as if it were one word. My friend's father was like "Hey, we don't swear around here! O:" and then I apologized throughout the whole rest of the week. It was funny later though, so we all laugh about it.
Sadly I didn't go to the same highschool, and we haven't hung out much anymore... Anyway, now instead of saying that I say "Oshimazzafaha".
I've been thinking about that a lot lately, actually. Like, I transfer to a different highschool, and for a while I thought it was an absolute godsend. I felt that I just didn't fit in anywhere with the people at my old school that all would've ended up going there. But then I realized, "Hey, I spend so much time trying to impress the 'cool kids' that I took my real friends for granted." And that is balls, my friends.
No wonder I was so stressed about those guys. Like, I always thought "They don't like me, I'm like a jukebox to them! They just pop in a quarter, and I make a joke." Only I wasn't getting paid. I had some good friends in that group, but mostly I just didn't fit in so well. It was just because a few guys hated me, and I was too stupid to see people who really cared about me.
An example: I always thought that none of my friends ever really cared about me, except for my brother and a friend of his that I've known since I was 4 (who eventually came around to being my friend as well). That was it. But that wasn't even true! If I had opened up to the guys I left in the dust, who I could have spent my recesses with, they'd have really cared. But nope. I thought it was because people just didn't love, but it was really because I never showed love to people who see me as a peer, and not as a joke machine.
It took until this year to realize that going to the originally planned school wouldn't have been so bad, if I had grown the way I did going to the school I went to. But the thing is, I don't think I would have grown that same way. I think I would have continued my stupid path... And I've made so many great friends now that I wouldn't change it for the world! Now, if only I could find a way to reconnect with my old pals... I've only got a couple more years before almost everybody moves on, and does their own thing. I must take every opportunity I have, and those opportunities are every single day.
So I've resolved to wake up every morning and say to myself "C'mon Smithee. Do it."
And I mean that in terms of reconnecting with old friends, and keeping up with the new ones. I've just got to be more social, altogether! And I've also got to make sure that I work hard in classes from now on. Slacking off until the end of the semester isn't going to work anymore! And even if it will, what good will it do if I don't start being a good worker until it is too late? Then I'll miss out on whatever opportunities I could have enjoyed...
And I know for sure I don't want that!
