The trio of Giacomo, Ayme and Folon, from Baten Kaitos, especially the first time around. I think that is the most difficult boss battle I have ever had the misfortune of suffering through...THREE TIMES. Twice back-to-back, as well. In terms of looks, Malpercio, from the same game. A giant...

I never EVER base my decision on whether or not to buy a video game from the reviews, because there is no such thing these days as a critical analysis of a video game. It's nothing but bias, and I am quite capable of deciding for myself whether or not I'll enjoy a game. When reviewers give a...

"For the last time, we are NOT going to have 'bouncy flouncy trouncy pouncy fun fun fun fun fun'!"

Schedule? What's that? O_o I don't really have any set way of doing things, other than getting up at 6:30am, going to bed at around 10:30pm, and going to University on Monday and Thursday for lectures. I tend to take things one day at a time, see what I have to do each day in terms of...

I think that the likes of Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto, or just Nintendo in general, would be more influential than Steve Jobs. Whilst Steve Jobs has made games more accessible for the vast majority of people, Nintendo as a company are far more influential, because they have totally changed...

I'm...not sure what to make of Skyrim, to be honest. I adored Morrowind, but I despised Oblivion. In fact, excluding Final Fantasy IX and XIII, I'd say Oblivion has got to be the most abysmally designed and utterly boring game I have ever played. So, is Skyrim going to be more like Morrowind, or...

I don't play anywhere near as much as I used to, and I'd attribute this to a number of things. The most obvious one is that as I've grown older I've diversified my interests, so I don't have as much time to play games as what I used to. I spend a lot of time on the internet, I roleplay quite a...

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding when it comes to what qualifies as a "hard" video game, and what is merely a "challenging" one. People are so quick to label games as "hard" if they die on them or whatever, and I think that in itself shows how much games have changed, and how the...

If a game supplies a support character, you can be sure that you're going to need them at some point, unless you grind to the point where you can kill most things within the space of five minutes. xD How can anyone hate Priel?! She had an incredible voice! The only character that was more...

A little more variety beyond different elements in the characters would have been nice; pretty much every character in the first two games asides pre-Twilight Cecilia and Saki have been offensively minded, and they were all witches, knights or perverts. I really wanted Priel in the first game to...

I can't honestly say I have any hopes or dreams. The way I see it, I don't need a reason to live: I do, therefore I am. As tired and old as that saying is, that pretty much sums me up. I live in the present, and I'm perfectly content to let the future come to me when it's good and ready to. What...

I'm going to have to search for this...after I re-play the first two games, it's been a while. The designs for the witches in the third game are awesome, though, they just get more outrageous each time. xD Ah, I see. I'd heard it was quite old-school (if it lacks a story and has that kind of...

I am both asexual and aromantic; I've honestly never really been interested in these things, and I've never felt anything for anyone else, beyond enjoying talking to them on occasion.

I certainly hope so...I'd quite happily get an emulator on my laptop for that... How is the Etrian Odyssey series? I've been meaning to try one of the games in the series somewhen, but I've been getting mixed messages...plus something else has always been coming up on my to-play schedule. xD

I believe I can Fly - Me First and the Gimme Gimmes I absolutely LOVE this group. It's one of the few things that kept me sane during revision for exams this year (along with the Classic FM radio app) and, whilst I honestly do not like this song, they do quite a few pop songs I detest and make...
