| Poll Time! Sorta. |
[Dec. 1st, 2009|01:26 pm] |
So the other night, I was playing Katamari Forever, and I was on Stage 10 for the RoboKing where you had to roll up 12m in order to make a star. I tried at least five or six times and failed. Then, I got the hang of it, and was a few seconds away from FINALLY beating it and the katamari got stuck. Luckily, I managed to do it. And...now I'm stuck on rolling up the moon. Hahaha.
ANYWAY! I've noticed that when I play certain video games (like God of War and Katamari on certain stages, for example), I can feel my heart beat harder/faster in my chest when I get really excited/into it. And...I will sometimes yell at the screen, which I know EVERYONE does at least once.
Who else has this heart thing happen? Or am I and oddball or something? ;P
And, if so, tell me what video game had the pleasure of making you do that (and if it doesn't contain a spoiler, then the specific part, if you remember)! |

| Hello and Questions |
[Dec. 1st, 2009|01:35 am] |
I have yet to say hello, but been following for a while. My name is Kim, I am a student, but taking time off because I am expecting my first child. I have always played games, but recently really gotten into my xbox 360. I have been a fan of the PC versions of The Sims games, but like games like Bioshock and Fable as well.
For my question, I just got a wii for my birthday and all I have is the sports and sport resort games. They are fun, but being 6 months pregnant and starting to have some sever back pain playing those games put too much strain on my aching body. I would play my xbox, but my bf is using it since his broke the day he got Assassins Creed 2 so he's using mine for the time being (we don't live in the same house). Is there any games for the wii that are more sit down and using less body motions. I know some of the games are minimal in activity level, but even some of those give me some issues with pain. I am new to the wii after having xbox and xbox 360 and not sure of the games out there. I generally like first person shooter games, but most of those for the wii I already have for the xbox and don't want to buy two of the same game for two different consoles. Any ideas on games I would really appreciate it. |

| Trading Card Selling |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|08:41 pm] |
|
Someone had posted something about selling Magic cards, and I had a similar question about selling trading cards too. Would anyone recommend selling cards to websites that buy/sell trading cards? I've never done it and always thought how much it would suck if I sent in the cards and never received payment, since I know they want the cards first. Has anyone done it? |

| Recommend me something? |

So I wanted to buy a new PC game as a reward to myself for doing well in college. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the newer consoles (xbox 360, wii, the like) because of said school. I just haven't been able to devote a couple hundred dollars to this, but I can afford the game.
So I'm wondering if you guys can recommend something new and recent available for PC. My computer should be able to handle the graphics on most games these days, as it was updated relatively recently thanks to my parents. (I can play WoW in Northrend at high settings with minimal lag even in Dalaran, for a reference) I thought I might get Assassin's Creed II, but it looks like that one doesn't release for PC until next year. I'm expecting to get Dragon Age Origins for PC for Christmas, so I'd like to avoid that one.
I enjoy a lot of RPGs, if you are looking for ideas on what I like. I did play Bioshock and enjoy it, even though it's not my usual sort of game.
Thanks guys. ^^
Edit: Clarified that ACII releases for PC next year, to my knowledge, as I know the Xbox 360/PS3 version is already available. Checked on www.gamefaqs.com for that information... |

| Wii Arcade Game..Thingies... |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|08:59 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  confused | ] |
So I'm a 360 gamer who has just bought a Nintendo Wii so my husband and I can play co-op games together that aren't overly "serious".. We've noticed the the Wii has an "arcade" section like the 360 does, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest any fun co-op games that are available on that section for us to play! So far we only own Wii Play, Wii Sports and Mario-something 8 (you can tell I'm not a huge Nintendo fan, can't you?), so I need some suggestions for things to download! We have 2000 Wii points to spend!
Cheers ladies :] |

I'm wanting a black wii but so far i've only seen them in Japan. I was thinking of buying one but i'm hearing mixed opinions saying its region locked or some say its not. So if i wanted one would i have to buy Japanese games to play? |

| Old(er) PC games |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|12:52 pm] |
Except for the Sims, I've always preferred consoles over the PC when it comes to gaming; plus, my computer was never top-of-the-line, so it couldn't hack a lot of the games a few years ago.
But I've recently come to discover that the laptop I have now can easily handle some of the older games - right now, I'm playing through Star Wars: Republic Commando and KotOR. I was also thinking about buying Half-Life and HL2 - is the storyline decent for that series?
If you guys have any other recs for PC games from the past several years that I might've missed out on, that'd be awesome. Combat/action doesn't matter to me so much as a good storyline. |

| Question |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|06:12 pm] |
So, I am pondering buying myself a console.
Since I am sick of not being able to play my games because my brother is ALWAYS on tha console.
My question is though, which would you recommend?
A PS3 or an Xbox?
I'm thinking quality of grapics, speed, and game avilability.
My brothrs console is a PS2 so a PS3 would seem wise since it means I could play my games on it - but if the Xbox is more versatile...
You see my problem?
So yes, which should I start saving for girls (and guys)? |

| Magic the Gathering cards..? |
[Nov. 29th, 2009|02:06 am] |
So my boyfriend has a TON of Magic cards that he's looking to sell (just short of 6000 cards), but he's having issues actually selling them.
( His description of the lot on craigslist.. )
He's had them listed on craigslist for a few days, but the only people that have contacted him about them offered about $50 for the lot, which seems awfully low, but they said that he wouldn't get any more than that. Most of his cards (3/4 of them or so from what he says) are from roughly 1994-2000, so they're not all exactly recent cards, but from what he found on various price guides and that, his collection should be worth at least a couple hundred.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to go about selling these, or is anyone possibly interested in buying them? |

| [mod-post] Vote For A New Theme! Y/Y? |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|10:29 pm] |
Hey guys! :D So the idea of a new theme is under way. However, it'd still be best to take a majority vote to see which theme YOU would like to see next. With that said, take a gander at our little poll here filled with some lovely suggestions from ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sacryde, madblessyou, and pinkhairedcutie and... Vote away! Did I seriously just say 'gander'?
Poll #1491761
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 13What should the next theme be?
Personally, the only problem I see with the "which persona would you summon?" theme is that it'll take ages to get stamped, much like the "persona mirror" theme, because there are 249190238 persona. Don't let that stop you from voting though! XD
For those of you that may want to suggest a theme with the P3P characters, I think it'd be best if we wait until it gets released outside of Japan, since I'm sure there are quite a few people who don't really know the new P3P chars because they don't want to spoil it. (Even though there are only a handful.) If you guys really want such a theme go ahead and suggest it though. (: I just wanted to point that out;;
Also, even if we do have a majority number of votes... The new theme will NOT be unveiled until all unstamped applications have been stamped. With that said, please go vote for them if you can. Here's a handy list of apps that still require stamping:
★ Regular ★
→ kooriblade
→ rental_daughter
★ Arcana ★
→ innoc3nt_sorrow
→ madblessyou
I know, I know... This is another deathly long mod-post. .-. But hey, at least we're getting closer to a new theme~! XD |

| Game Plushies |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|07:59 pm] |
I thought I'd show a few plushies I made for two custom orders!
I'm still open for making these. Looks like I'll be able to take custom orders until about the 10th of January. I start school on January 19th (although luckily, I picked four pretty easy classes, and don't have classes on Friday), so working on customs might take a bit longer then. So, if anyone's still interested! I'll keep my "holiday special" ($25 first doll, $5 each additional doll) until the 31st of December! If you order before that date, the special applies. Although at this point, I wouldn't recommend ordering gifts or anything; there's no guarantee you'll have it before the desired date (keeping in mind work time + backed up holiday mail delivery).
( Plushies! ) |

| God Of War/Katamari Stresses |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|10:46 pm] |
1] Who else is getting the God of War III Ultimate Edition?! I would normally not pay $100 for a game, but HOLY JESUS I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!
Edit : Wow, calm down. The stereotype on the comment was a joke.
2] I am stuck on Katamari Forver at the stage of the Robo King where you have to roll the katamari up to at least 12m, and you start in the place with the mice (I think it's outside, not positive though). If anyone has advice, pleeeeease tell me. I'm getting frustrated.
Also, if you have not listened to/downloaded/purchased the Katamari Forever soundtrack, you need to. It is beyond amazing. I play it every day on my iPod. |

| hard drives and Xbox 360s |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|04:27 pm] |
Can anyone tell me about hard drives for the 360?
I've heard that I can install the games that I have on disc, onto a hard drive, is this true? I don't mean downloaded games (my 360 isn't online and won't be, for the foreseeable future) or saved games, I mean the actual game to be played without using the disc..
If that's the case, roughly how big is the file per game? I know some games will obviously be larger than others but just an approximation would do. Of the games I have, on disc, Midnight Club, Fable 2, Lost Odyssey and WWE R vs S 2009 seem like they would be largest.

[Nov. 28th, 2009|09:59 am] |
I recently bought the HP Pavilion p6243w-b desktop computer and asked around about weather or not the sims 3 or other PC games will work on it. The answer was mostly no, because of the graphics card. Does anyone no of a good graphics card that I could buy that will allow games to work good? I just started PC gaming now so I'm sort of clueless about this stuff right now.
Graphics Card:
Integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce 6150SE
Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
Processor:
AMD Sempron LE1200 processor - 2.1GHz
Power Supply:
250-Watt
Hard Drive is 320 GB, 3.0 GB of memory and comes with Windows 7. |

| PS3 games help |
[Nov. 28th, 2009|12:09 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  hopeful | ] |
Alright, so I'm buying a PS3 this christmas and I was wondering if anyone could recommend me any good games to buy...
I already have Uncharted 2 and Final Fantasy XIII (which I am aware doesn't even come out until March) on my list but I can't really think of any other games to buy. I was going to buy Assassins Creed 2 but that was before my brother bought it for his 360 and I would buy RE5 if I hadn't already played the majority of the game on a friends PS3. So does anyone have any ideas?
Here's what I like:
RPG's
First person shooters
Action/Adventure
Fighting
Puzzle
If anyone could recommend anything to me it would be a great help :) |
