I'm now in full agreement with the people that said the first 20 hours of FF13 was the best bit.

I always thought it was the opposite where people said they liked the Gran Pulse and beyond more

You know, I'm replaying Dishonored 1 (having never beaten it) and the writing is pretty bad. Maybe it's just the voice acting but it's like the flattest thing

I always thought the cutscene dialogue in Dishonored was pretty weak. They are far better at expressing story through gameplay and secondary exposition.

That tv show ruled, it's a shame people weren't ready to accept how goofy it was.

I hate that other awful serious one they made in the 2000s, where they loving wrecked the suit cuz their stupid actor was too short to fit in it, so they sawed the loving legs off.

Dishonored's character writing is really bland. It shines in its environmental storytelling though

You should try X4 if you haven't already, it's my favorite Mega Man game, and one of my favorite platformers of all time!

Mega Mans that let you play as Zero are pretty fun imo. Uh, mostly

though to be honest the presence of Dynamo's theme has a lot to do with my affection for X6

Does anybody know if there are any purple New 3DS deals for black friday?

I'm looking to somehow try to get a New 3ds for my fiancee for christmas and I doubt I'm gonna be able to do it, but if I somehow *do* manage to do it, I'd like to try to get a purple one for her so she can use it to do New 3DS stuff and I figure people in here might have heard of some deals. I know about the $99 black or white ones but she isn't a fan of those colors and designs.

I never finished it but it was decent enough. I'm not really someone to talk to if you want to know about the nuances of the battle system or whatever, though.

Also there's GBA connectivity! It's kinda lame but kinda neat, like most GBA connectivity.

Yeah, pull the other one.

But really, a Mega Man game doesn't need all that much plot. It's just that a JRPG kinda does, and the writers just couldn't bring the goods in Command Mission's case.

They exaggerate the complexity and workload involved by doing it yourself. You really don't need anything more than a big plastic barrel, a lid with an airlock, a length of hose and a bunch of empty bottles. And the ingredients obviously, but those are sold in sets everywhere. The only thing that takes a bit of research, is how much sugar the yeast you have can take. Too little, and you don't get enough alcohol. Too much and the alcohol kills off the yeast before it eats all the sugar, meaning you're left with a strong beer + sugar mix which can taste extremely nasty.

Thankfully alcohol is a scale of "most nasty tasting" to "most slightly bearable tasting" followed by an instant jump to the absolute extreme of "you can't even taste the alcohol in this", so nasty tasting alcohol is not all that bad.
