About Me
Aiayla(pronounced Eye-aye-lah)

also sometimes known as:
Palidi

^heed me, im not good with knowing the phonetical symbols

Unfortunately, my PS3 has dun got broke'd. So at this time, yeah, don't try and do anything like shoot me a friend request on PSN or nothing. I'm not sure when I'll be able to put aside any spare cash to fix it(god... I miss my Metal Gear Online T~T).

Of course, because of this, I've been spending a lot more time on my PC. I'm on steam, and run most my game through it. Also Destructoid... but I'm here, and if you're reading this... so are you... so... yeah... not sure where I was going with that. =P

I don't has Xbox 360. I'd like to get one at some point, but for now I have been occasionally playing on a friends, and pretty much only playing Halo:Reach(ack, another game I will miss playing after the semester ends). Of course, I also play games that do support the Games For Windows Live, so it may look like I'm up for gaem... but that may not always be the case.



Was running an official retail copy of Windows 7 Professional since 9/5/09. RIP Lapphy 1/1/10.

Now running Windows 7 Home Premium since 1/1/10 .

MGO expansion pack MEME dated....
Sterling Aiayla Lyons | 8:40 AM on 11.17.2008 6 comments


...in Japan.

Some interesting information comes about from this though. The GENE expansion plus(the one with the extra (character slot) will be discontinued at the time of MEME's release. Replacing it will be a MEME+GENE bundle for the same price(1500 yen/$15 American). There will be a MEME standalone pack for 1200 yen/$12 American, but only those who have GENE already will be able to buy it.

There will be a pre-pay service starting the 18th, where they can get their payments in until the update finally drops on the 25th. Hopefully this will help keep MEME from launching to the same fiasco that GENE did.

Hopefully, we here in America won't have to wait too long after for MEME. If you passed up GENE when it came out, looks like you guys get the good bargain, while us "early adopters" get the shaft. Isn't that how most things go though?

In other news:

Log on to your MGO account between November 25th and December 9th to receive 10,000 free Reward Points. There will also be a lottery to select 30 people world wide to receive 100,000 Reward Points. Visit the MGO site for specifics.

Also, they got some Japanese guy to make instructional vids for MGO. The beginner vids are as you'd expect, and not all that useful except to...well...beginners. The advanced level vids are *gasp* actually useful highlighting the amazingly useful box, "dancing"(as it is known to the MGO community), weapon characteristics, skill maxing, and a few more things.

Seriously, it looks fairly good. MGO seems to be ignored pretty often but despite its shortcomings it can be very fun.

I really like MGO, but getting decent teamwork going was damn near impossible, even with really team oriented skill sets. SOCOM Confrontation doesn't have the same charm or fancy skill setup as MGO, but playing in FNF or SNS has been a ton of fun.

On the fence about an expansion for a game I don't play very often.

Hey, why don't they release this stuff on the PSN? The Konami ID shit sux.

That'd be a good start to fixing this game's problems.

@Trev:

Yeah, thats an issue with the American MGO community. Thats why Japan smoked us in the TGS tournament. I still enjoy it anyhow though.

I miss playing MGO, but there are so many other games I'm focusing on right now that puts it aside. I really want to get back to it during a slow part of the year.
