@Thread: (NSFW) http://www.wegame.com/watch/Girls_of_The_Witcher_Sex_Cards/ That is all.

Started reading Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei recently. One of the few anime/manga to ever make me chortle.

Wait, you passed up a Vampire Knight release something-or-other extravaganza? You missed out on the opportunity to take advantage of so many candy-wrapped little sparrows that I can't even... can't even...

Let's hope it turns out better than Persona -Trinity Soul-.

How you gonna throw everything at me!? DAT SALVO IS NOT FAIR! Play by the rules, buddy! That's my OreImo collection. I don't really have a "stash". I only keep images of my favorite productions. Most of what I have in my Magnum Opus folder is Xenogears or Ar Tonelico. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16621290/youuuu.png General ero folder is only about a thousand files total. Also: hurray for off-topic.

Pirandello, I knew there was a reason you were my bro montana. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16621290/heykirino.png WE'RE LOST SOULS MEANT FOR EACH OTHER! Screw Sindo.

Hordes of NSFW here, but 245 images: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/16621290/1/Wallpapers?h=4a48ef

Ouch, Borders. I work at one of your competitors. Tough luck, comrade. We aren't faring too well, either. At least you pocketed a cheap e-reader out of the demise.

Hmm... just finished Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel. Before that: Hyperdimension Neptunia, Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland, Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale and Borderlands. There are a number of titles I started but simply did not feel compelled to finish. No captivation there, and captivation is requisite in these creatures. Bulletstorm, Crysis 2, Super Meat Boy and a couple others, I'm sure.

Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica Suikoden II Xenogears Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel Suikoden Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia Baldur's Gate (PC) Shadow Hearts Counter-Strike (PC) The Witcher Ys: The Oath in Felghana (PC) Final Fantasy VI The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Ever 17: Out of Infinity Rainbow Six (PC) Eh, I'm sure I could tinker with this list for days. Instead, I just threw it together with the 3x3 thread and some remaining titles.

Clever.

I feel like something is off in that picture. Askew. Like I'm gazing through a nether portal, and you're the eldritch gatekeeper. But I just can't put my pacifier on it.

I need to get around to finishing "Lolita". Once that gift is complete, I'll probably open Richard Lee Byers' "The Year of Rogue Dragons" series.

The art style of Panty and Stocking did the opposite for me. And I sort of felt like it was trying too hard. I'm currently watching: The World God Only Knows Shinryaku! Ika Musume Puella Madoka Magica Edit: Forgot to add Hanasaku Iroha to the list. I believe the last series I finished was OreImo. Absolutely loved that one. I tend to flitter about between anime.

They're still great games, and many of the fans prefer them to the final entry. Qoga introduced quite a few changes to the established system.

Brief answer: Yes. TL;DR answer: Yes! There are returning characters from both Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar tonelico: Melody of Metafalica. There are references to both games that would leave you clueless without having played them. It is also — and this is the utmost reason why you should play the games in chronological order — a finale to narrative that spans all three games. Mind you, the game could stand on its own without the presence of its siblings. I just don't recommend playing them out of order. If you must, you could always play the earlier games later and view them as "prequels".

Eventually, I succumbed to exasperation and clicked the generate image link. A selection of nine is friggin' limiting, and could never capture my throbbing fervor. I don't like you, Dean. You will never be in my top nine. In no particular order: Suikoden: Pretty much my first jaunt into this generation of role-playing games, and a welcome introduction to the console. Suikoden showed me that you can take a classical novel, reproduce only the most fundamental constituents and output pure captivation. From the variety in gameplay(traditional JRPG, duels, overhead strategy) to the scope of characters(108 recruitable) to a plot concerning politics and war imbued with the welcome fantasy of the realm. Ys: The Oath in Felghana: This is where Ys III: Wanderers from Ys would rest if Falcom didn't deem it worthy of a splendiferous remake. Good gawd. This is the PC version, mind you. Why would I not go with the superlative anything on these lists? Never has a video game since the original Ninja Gaiden given me so much unremitting trouble. It gnawed at my skull, eventually sinking its dagger-like fangs in and sticking with me. Absolutely heart-pounding music and gripping gameplay rank this as number one when it comes to combat systems. Counter-Strike: While it was by no means my hymen-sundering first-person shooter, Counter-Strike has long lingered. If I were to somehow cull all of the time spent in the game, its mods and leagues, I would surely be less of a failure today. Since the game first released, I never once completely stopped playing. Until the release of Source. Baldur's Gate: The PC version, of course. None of this hack-n-slash Dragon Age 2 nonsense. The original is what cemented Bioware in my heart for some time, rendering the realm of Dungeons and Dragons in ways that only Planescape: Torment could top. Unfortunately, Torment's charm was a level below Baldur's Gate — poor Obsidian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onczabODwMY Shadow Hearts: This represents the series, not just "Shadow Hearts". Koudelka, Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts: Covenant. Because Shadow Hearts: From the New World was comparative trash. Sorry, little one. Dark, amusing, darkly amusing and, above all, a game with the neck-stroking might to leaved you ensorcelled. Never did I have so much fun collecting homosexual porn and rubbing my musclebound frame against another man's greasy paunch. Also: alternate history is welcome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c6vHp2_vac Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel: Again, this is representative of the entire series. Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia, Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica and Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel. With Ar tonelico, Gust orchestrates many things; foremost, the marriage of visual novel and role-playing game. Not only are you threaded into the quilt of overlapping tales, but you nudge your way into the heart of the heroines. It's a shame that the game's image is... besmirched by its lascivious content. Yes, there is some lechery here, but it's the layer of milky film atop your favorite drink. In its maw roils a beastly stitching of captivating story, ear-swooning diapasons and gorgeous presentation. Ar tonelico slumbers at the top of my pantheon. Xenogears: At a time when Squaresoft had failed me with their latest Final Fantasy release, Humdrum 7: Cloudskiville, Xenogears helped maintain their status. A science fantasy wet dream wrapped around a chronicle of love that transcends generations, where could they go wrong? Well, in budget cuts and rushed development. Second disc follies included, Xenogears reminded me just how bewitching these odysseys can be. Final Fantasy VI: If Xenogears was the picture of delightful storytelling in video games, FFVI was its harbinger. While it wasn't my first Final Fantasy, it was through Final Fantasy VI that I discovered a love for narrative in video games, that I found the medium could be an architect of a world apart. Also, the cast of characters was just great. <3 Kefka. Saddening it marked the descent of the franchise. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind: With its sprawling 3D world, many approaches to character customization and boundless side-quests, what wasn't there to enjoy about Morrowind? It brought the CRPG to life in a time — like present day — when it was faltering.

How much did you pay for those? I've been using some Nintendo DS ear-snaps for my PSP, and I could use some ear buds.

Finally finished all of the trophies for Qoga. Post-game content is going to keep me busy, but I'm obligated to dive into Legend of Heroes, so I will.

Been rolling the Ar Tonelico Qoga tracks at home, on the bike, at work, while I sleep, while reading. Heck, anything by Gust usually ends up injected with harmony. Atelier Vocal Historia did a good job of bringing their work together. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymCu6HSknXI I keep all of the Xenogears music on my computer, as Mitsuda is a friggin' acoustic genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIF2crvBSDU And how could I forget Suikoden? Twang my heartstrings, you. TWANG MY GORRAM HEARTSTRINGS! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTVBSfoLBYY&playnext=1&list=PL355D617A87AC5D4C

Man, you guys need training in proper roommate acquisition and husbandry. My roommate cooks, cleans, doesn't bring friends over without asking first and knows to leave when Sindo rolls up in the unmarked van.

Just go to your desktop settings and hide it. That doesn't get send it to bin heaven. It only hides the drooling concubine so that her moist mouth(tried lips first... too accidentally lewd) doesn't distract you.

Yeah, I'm waiting on the third translation. Blood of Elves and The Last Wish were both good reads.

@Pirandello: Right-click the taskbar. Toolbars -> New toolbar... -> Make a folder and put shortcuts in that folder @MasterDex: One of the few good things to come out of Final Fantasy fame. I love that guy.
