I found a ROM of the file, Xer. <_< Wanna try it out!?

[Xeroma]

NO. NEVER.

That reminds me... is that the screen for the arcade version? I don't remember it to be that wretched....

[Grefter]

That is awesome.  I should play it sometime.

Couple has astronomical water bills.  Can't figure out what's wrong.  Meter says the problem lies in a SHARP rise in water usage while both are out of the house.  Husband stays home one day to find out problem.  He tapes it because no one will believe him:

New VP game on DS.  This almost makes up for Star Ocean being on the CrapSP.

[Hunter Sopko]

Because we PSP owners want Star Ocean remakes.

Go read my topic, AAA might be actually developing this, but FF12RW's team instead.

A Star Ocean 2 remake is the only thing I might buy a PSP for.

Absolutely insane game of Tetris.  It goes from impressive to crazy at the three-minute mark, then escalates into O_o mode at around 5:10.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that player's not actually human. Either it's a robot or an alien spearheading an invasion campaign wherein a false messiah arrives in the form of a videogame savant. Wait, wasn't that a movie? ...No, that was The Wizard. Never mind.

Now this is an interesting piece of marketting by Iron Tower Studios.  This is for a game that is being made by Vault Dweller (formerly news poster at the Codex, so it gets hype there) .  I am looking forward to it actually.  But anyway, to show off the game they have a Let's Play thread for one of the opening vignettes of one of the character proffession types.

Persona 4 anyone?

[Anthony Edward Stark]

OH MAN I can't wait for Persona 4. I'm sure it will piss me off just as much as the previous game.

[Shale]

Maybe it'll be as infuriating as Persona 1! We can only hope.

Persona 4 anyone?

http://www.rpgamer.com/games/persona/persona4/propaganda/persona45.jpg

I can only assume from that that the main ability of the characters is to summon No Hotlinking Allowed messages to smite their foes.
