Re: What games are you currently playing?

You'll be happy to know that since this game is aimed at younger audiences the use of Kanji is kept to a minimum so it will be extremely easy to translate.
PS > Kabuto is my favorite Rider series of all time followed by Hibiki (up to ep 30) and Decade.

Oh cool, that is nice to know, and yeah I like Kabuto, did not care for Hibiki much, but my fav so far is "W" I think, my first series was 555 though and I liked it as well

Ray, are you really implying that kanji makes material more difficult to translate? What kind of half-assed translator doesn't have a basic knowledge of jouyou kanji?

Honestly, sometimes stuff for kids can be trickier, since there's a much heavier use of sound effects, and less on you know, actual words

I've been dealing with funeral arrangements for my mother the past week, so my backlog of games is absurdly long. There are even games for my Vita that I haven't touched yet.

Currently playing (in spare moments):

Ragnarok Odyssey (Vita)
Assassin's Creed: Liberation (Vita)
Okami HD (PS3)
Machinarium (PS3)
X-Com: Enemy Unknown (PS3)

Waiting in the wings:
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3)
Zone of the Enders HD Collection (PS3)
Ratchet and Clank HD Collection (PS3)
Silent Hill: Book of Memories (Vita)
The Unfinished Swan (PS3)
Assassin's Creed 3 (PS3)

Upcoming:

Epic Mickey 2 (PS3)
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale (PS3 / Vita)
Hitman: Absolution (PS3)

Also: Activision can still go fly a kite if they think I'll buy another one of their games while Kotick is in charge.

I was actually referring to Kailea being able to translate it by himself (menus and things like that) since it's mostly hiragana and katakana. I just didn't word it well at all. XD

Wow Icemage. I had not known that she passed. I offer you my condolences, good sir. May she rest in peace.

I don't talk about my personal life much online. She'd been battling cancer for the past several months and developed a severe (and eventually fatal) reaction in her lungs to the chemotherapy drugs.

If you're wondering why I've been AWOL from the forums for the past month, that's why.

Thanks to everyone for the sympathy and support, it's appreciated.

No matter friend, enemy, stranger, it is never nice to hear of a Parents passing.

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion

They really went all out to make sure the game reminds you of Castle of Illusion, including some remixed music and old sound effects. Like the chime when you kill enemies.

Damn.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified for PlayStation Vita Reviews, Ratings, Credits, and More - Metacritic

Resistance: Burning Skies saw mostly mixed reviews, this one's getting a nice, big red lightsaber.

Re: What games are you currently playing?

Bought Hitman Absolution for the PC... yet I can't really do anything with it since I've only just started buying my components.

Was gonna buy it anyway, and with it being $29 on GreenManGaming, I figured -- why the hell not! (Not sure if it's still available. Promo code: GMG35-FGR37-COY0B if you're interested)

It taunts me so, just sitting there.

Got Adventure Time: Hey, Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage? today. I don't really know much about the show since I don't have cable, but the game is charming as hell and Jake Kaufman put together an awesome soundtrack for it. WayFoward just has a real knack for capturing the soul of most IPs they're handed. If this is what the show is like, I need to find a way to watch it.

I've loved their Mighty games, Shantae, Aliens Infestation, Double Dragon Neon and now Adventure Time. These guys just know how to put a smile on the face of any fan.

The game itself plays out like Zelda II, which is an interesting game to pay tribute to since its sort of the black sheep of the Zelda franchise, but they worked in a little Banjo-Kazooie into it with how Finn assists Jake from inside Jake's backpack. I'm only a little ways in, but so far its the most wonderfully weird thing I've played all year, short of Kid Icarus Uprising.

There is a DS version, probably much the same as this one, but the 3DS version just visually pops with the 3D effect.

Got the collectors version, which is a tin box of the "Enchiridion" - which I think I heard was the book/map of Adventure Time's multiverse. There was also a stylus version of Finn's Sword, a world map and "The Book of Beasts" which was kinda underwhelmingly small and simple for a collectable. Pre-order bonus was a lanyard, which I will totally be using for work on Black Friday.
