"Star Ocean: The Last Hope" only on Xbox?
seltzermx | 7:49 PM on 09.02.2008 9 comments


I just got my copy of Infinite Undiscovery, and as I'm perusing the manual, I come across this.



I thought that it was unconfirmed as an exclusive for Xbox.
Is this proof, or did someone at the printer screw up?

(And if the image looks crappy, its because I took it with the webcam on my laptop)

DS homebrew help
seltzermx | 10:07 PM on 07.31.2008 15 comments


I was wondering if I could get you guys' opinion on the homebrew options for the DS. I know the 3 main options are the CycloDS, M3 and R4DS. Would you guys recommend one over another? I know R4 is more well known, but I've heard great things about the CycloDS. And I really don't know much about the M3. Technical competence isn't really a factor for me (I run DD-WRT and other modded stuff on my hardware), and price isn't really a factor either.

I'm not really into game piracy. Heck, I bought both the US and Japanese version of FFIV cause I liked the cover for the Japanese one. But I do like the added functionality that these cards offer, like music and videos and stuff.

If you guys don't think this blog is appropriate for the site, let me know, and I'll hide it. Or if you prefer not to respond here, please PM me.

Thanks guys.

P.S. - FFIV DS is awesome!! Can't wait for Chrono Trigger!!

FFIV - To DS or not to DS
seltzermx | 11:51 AM on 07.22.2008 18 comments


So today, I will go pick up my copy of FFIV for the DS. Problem is, I don't own a DS. My original plan back October-ish (when I first heard of the remake) was to buy a DS when it came out in the US. But then, all these rumors came up of Nintendo announcing a new DS at E3. I decided to wait for them to release that one, and then buy it. Alas, E3 has come and gone, and no new DS was revealed.

My question is, do I buy a DS or try to hold out a little longer? Maybe they'll announce it at TGS. With my luck, 2 days after I buy it, the new one will be released. So that's why I am very hesitant right now.

What do you guys think?

Mass Effect: Shepard = Wife-beater FTW
seltzermx | 10:30 PM on 06.26.2008 13 comments


So, I'm going through my second play through of Mass Effect, and this time I decide to do the renegade path. I'm like 20 hours in and I need to go back to the citadel for new missions. As I get there, a female reporter stops to ask me some questions, and naturally I answer all in the reds to get the renegade points.

So she finally says the next one will be the last one, but there's no answer in red this time. I decide to end the conversation and choose "Time to shut you up". I thought he'd just tell her to go fuck herself or threaten her or something of that nature. Instead, he stares coolly at her for like 2 seconds, takes 2 steps forward, then decks her like a drunken irishman after a night at the pub. She got up, yelled something and ran away, but I was to busy cleaning my controller of the water I spit on it when I burst out laughing to pay attention to what she said.

Don't tell Fox News. They might decide Mass Effect also promotes domestic violence against women.

Hi to all,

This is my first post. Been a reader for a while now, except I've been to lazy to join.
Technically a noob, so I still don't have a fancy avatar and all that.

Just wanted to say: Divx and Xvid confirmed for the 360 on MajorNelson.

Good times ahead.

I'm currently playing:

Borderlands

Borderlands

Need time to finish:
Persona 3

Really want to start:
Persona 4
Chrono Trigger DS
Star Ocean: Last Hope

Chuck
Heroes
House
