I spent the day looking up information on GW2 and am really leaning towards getting it. The dynamic events and the fact that class can do everything is really enticing me. The only fear I have is that I may get quickly burned out on it and feel like I was just playing WoW again. From the videos I've seen it does feel like something that may be different enough from WoW, but I was just wondering if anyone could speak of their similarites or differences.

I have to agree with you on the second half of the movie saving it, but I think it helps that the film built itself up to that. It has a rather slow start, and those who stick to the 10 minute rule would probably hit the eject button.

Never heard of it, but I will be sure to look it up. Thanks.

That's really a pretty extensive list you put up there. I had no idea some of those were coming out for the vita. I'm hoping none of it was cancelled though.

I saw TDKR and thoroughly enjoyed it, though it wasn't without its issues. But the real last good movie I saw was In Bruges.

Haven't been here in a while, been doing a lot of work. Did this Bane speed painting for my website. It's on the image if you want to see some other designs I've done. It's just starting up so there isn't much though. I really like the new work that has been posted.

PixelJunk Monsters and Plants VS. Zombies. They're both simple games that I can pick up and play with my wife.

quick sketchwork done a couple of days ago. I printed it for the heck of it and put it right next to a serene painting of happy little trees that I painted as a result of watching a Bob Ross instructional on PBS a couple of months ago.

It's been quite sometime since I've read the story so my memory of it may be quite different from the actual tale. With that said the story is a Japanese Folk tale that centers around a poor artist who is commisioned to paint a Buddha for a temple, which also happens to be haunted by a demon rat. Fortunately for the painter there is also a cat. How it happens to be there or why is forgotten to me. As a result the artist would hide cats within his paintings of Buddhas. Prior to that cats weren't placed in paintings because they were believed to be evil. At least that's how I remember it.

Passion always wins out. Interesting juxtaposition you have there with the Buddhacat. There's an old tale about the origin of cats in paintings of Buddhas. Perhaps you've heard of it before?

I really liked the work I've seen in this thread so far and have decided to post my own meager sketches and drawings. My hands have always been shaky and it sometimes makes me crazy trying to do clean lines but Adobe Illustrator does help with that.

Yep! I rarely hear this game brought up anymore. I used to love it. What were the first person RPGs on Saturn? There's always one where the name slips my mind. Shinig the holy ark was one of them. Don't know if there were more though.

Don't forget opium and other recreational drugs.

Sometimes things just come to me. Other times I freewrite. Basically I have writing process ADD. But for me writing comes from experiencing life, strange ideas that emerge from common everyday mundane activities.

I can't believe that I forgot Guardian heroes and astal for my favorite games list. For those not familiar with Guardian Heroes it was like a better version of castle crashers made by treasure. Not saying that CC was bad, but GH allowed for multiple playthroughs because of the different paths and endings you could take. It also had character leveling and every character had their own personality. Also I think up to six people could play at once, though I never had the opportunity.

The cd player on the saturn introduced me to the capabilities of pitch changing. I loved the spaceship visualization as well except I only wished that you could move the ship a little.

People have been saying that the new kotaku is for ipad users but I disagree. The buttons for the next article block off the reading of some of the text and move when scrolling the page. It's probably a bug. With that said the new design seems to benefit them more than us. It forces us to click on the sensationalist and sometimes confusing headlnes to get any idea of what the article is about. Worst of all this change applies the to the lifehacker site as well. Kotaku had a good community, especially when they had people audition to be commenters, but lifehacker is actually useful and interesting still.

I didn't play the capcom fighters, but I did play a lot of KOF 97 imported.

I just wanted to make a topic for the Saturn. I think it had the most memorable experiences for me due to the games that were released for it. My favorites off the top of my head include: Panzer Dragoon saga Dragon force 1&2 Shining the holy ark Burning Rangers (yeah not many cared for it.) Magic Knight Rayearth Dark Savior Virtua cop with the gun was great too. And I kinda loved UMA racing on Daytona. Most disappointing game to me was Shining force 3 especially because I was unable to get the other two chapters.

I forgot to add a trailer for the film I've been working on for the past few years for anyone that's interested. I forgot to put a link to it in my last post. It may be considered NSFW. Sorry but there's no youtube video available yet.

Muttmutt... The sound i hear when mario throws fireballs.

True. The person below me is a professional chef.

After playing the demo I've come to the conclusion that I'd probably like watching Catherine more than playing it. I loved the intro of animated versions of movie scenes. I didn't mind the puzzles so much, but if that's all there is to it I don't think I'd enjoy it in the long term. It depends on how many puzzles there are though. I accidentally skipped the keitai part after hitting battsu on accident. Maybe I'll go through and try it again, or perhaps I'll just wait until a localization of it. But I'm in no rush to play through the demo again.
