Luigi in Brawl and the babies in MKDD. For Double Dash!! they had rounds consisting of four players, so 75% of it was really based on luck.

After getting a new AC adapter and finding out something had happened to my Windows install that prompted a couple of days worth of troubleshooting (culminating in backing up a hundred gigabytes of data and reinstalling Windows), my netbook is finally up and running again!

(I need a better camera.)

Play-Asia was having a big Chinese New Year sale a few weeks ago, so since spending ~$25 each for budget rereleases of the PS2 ports is a lot cheaper than spending ~$80 each for PC versions, I bought Fate/stay night Réalta Nua and Clannad. They arrived today!

Please describe, in detail, the gameplay of the game on the right.

It's a game where a girl named Ibuki finds a mysterious pea on her doorstep, names it Roger and raises it as her own. It grows to the size of a standard pillow and the two fight crime and ultimately each other when Ibuki finds out Roger is having an affair with her boyfriend, Bartholomew.

It's a JRPG.

That sounds more interesting than Yet Another Military Shooter, at least.

Anyway, Clannad is a dating sim, though it's a bit more in-depth than that. All-ages (ignoring the fact that the CERO C rating means it's for players fifteen and up), to the extent that it even lacks fanservice (the original PC version was like this too; the original PC version of Fate/stay night, sadly, was not, and I'm still scarred by those scenes).

The art style is a bit odd at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly. It's certainly not as bad as the art in Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and I got used to that pretty quickly:

Only more interesting than CoD? If I rename the girl, choose a better genre than JRPG, and come up with a plausible way for a gay pea to fight, this idea could become the next Mario.

Only BETTER.

It's march. The month were all of the acceptances (and rejections) flow in. Here's to hope!

To further add to the pile of music game peripherals and to me needing a better camera than my phone:

Now I can finally play beatmania IIDX legit instead of on keyboard. And it only cost me $20 (plus the cost of shipping a PS2 to Fifth's friend teh_yoshi).

Going to assume you purchased that software? (Even though you never have any money)

Turtlekid1 · « **Reply #5381 on:** March 05, 2011, 06:50:11 PM »

Yes. My parents put up half the price as a birthday gift. And I don't have money... for games. Doesn't mean I'm completely broke, but I've got other things I do/will need to buy.

Black Mage · « **Reply #5382 on:** March 05, 2011, 08:45:10 PM »

Oh, that's not how I expected that to go.

Good on you for actually buying software.

Weegee · « **Reply #5383 on:** March 05, 2011, 08:56:47 PM »

Speaking of which, what's the safest means of obtaining Adobe Audition 3 without paying for it? As much as I hate pirating software, Audition's $350 price tag signifies that Adobe hates me even more.

WarpRattler · « **Reply #5384 on:** March 05, 2011, 09:06:05 PM »

Get someone else to buy it for you? Or see if there are any open-source alternatives...unless you're explicitly required to use Audition, in which case your school sucks.
