;____; MC is the last person here I haven't Brawled here (besides OK BUT OK DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE HE'S TOO BUSY BEING AN EVIL DOCTOR or something). Let me know if you ever get it working.
Oh, I added some RPGDL people's FCs, but last I checked none of them had added my FC, so I haven't actually checked that route. Mostly I've tried and failed to do anonymous games (I can only seem to host, and anyone who joins me leaves before the match starts).
Have you even posted it?
EDIT: Rephrase. Post your fucking Brawl FC. I've been wanting a rematch since last summer, lag or not. Or at least to play against you long enough to get your patterns down so I can win eventually.
EDIT 2: Well, might as well make a real post, too.
Mother 3 - I'm playing through this and trying to translate it without a translation FAQ. It's amazing how much of it I don't need to translate, and then simultaneously how much I do--I'm only in the first hour or so and I've easily dumped four hours into it, going back and forth between my dictionary and the game. In any case, the language isn't that much of a barrier, and I'll get through it eventually--maybe before summer ends, but probably not. Fortunately, the game's humor isn't always lost on me, though I'm interested to replay it in English once the fan translation (maybe official translation? Roy in SSBM did (in part) spark the release of FE games stateside, so maybe Lucas will do the same, but that's pretty hopeless optimism there).
Oh, I almost forgot. Thank god that this game is almost entirely in kana. I'm not sure I could get through it if Kanji were used in more instances than the in-between chapter sections. Because I am lazy.
Gameplay is EB with better menus, haven't gotten far enough to see what's different. Just put out the fire in Tashimairi Village. Wish I could go through it faster, but other games distract me.
Speaking of which,
TF2: I've basically started playing on only a handful of servers. Usually I'll play against people who are good at the game (MC's group of clans), get fed up after 15-25 minutes, then go play against retards and 12 year olds on a Mario Kart server as an ego boost. I also have started to play a lot more Mach 4 on some 24/7 Mach 4 server, since I usually don't get creamed as easily as I do on the Control Point servers.
SSBB: I've started to play against people other than the people I've been playing against for the last few years in a vain attempt to get better at the game. My main problem is that I'm good once I pick up on people's patterns, but it takes several hours of playing to pick up on those patterns. If I could get over that, I could do much better at the tournaments held around here, which equals more of a chance to win money. Money in gift card form, but money nonetheless.
The problem I face is that nobody I know around here outside of my roommates is that good, so using them to start learning patterns is an exercise in futility. The obvious solution to that is to play online since most people I've played from the DL (both at DLC2 and online) are pretty good, but the lag is so bad that serious online play is impossible. I guess I could try to cut out the middle man and meet up with the people who actually go to the tournaments and just play against them enough to pick up their patterns, but most of them are insufferable Japanophiles who need a hot dicking or a spike shoved through their eye or both. And I just don't care enough to put up with that.
