Merry Christmas

I shall feel personally insulted if you don't add me.

Don't disappoint me :p

Hey dude, you got any availability in your diary for some more Smashtastic antics any time soon?

Merry Christmas dude! Are you spending it at home?

Sorry I missed your birthday mate. I was out getting drunk for part if the day and then recovering form being drunk for the rest of It.

Oooo weekend mornings aren't good since I go the gym around 10:30 ish normally so it would have to be after I got back in the afternoon...

Things aren't too bad I guess - on a break from uni right now so taking it relatively easy until they start to ramp up the work load like the end of last year. Still, I got it done then (somehow) and i'm sure I'll get it done this time to.

How about you - how's life in the services going?

That's awesome news mate!! Congratulations on so many hours a week!! Not bad about you and Becky either How long you been together now? About a year and half is it? But when you know, you know right.

The first year, I can say I slacked a little in some areas

Ooo sorry mate. I haven't actually been online today although I certainly would have been if I knew people would have been about.

Ooops, typing from my phone and... well... you can see the result :p

As I was saying, I went a bit easy in some areas but now I'm busting a gut just to pass. Still, its a darn sight more rewarding when you put so much in. Seeing my 3D rendered bring 3D models to life or watching my planets move around the PSP screen with lighting and stuff is pretty cool. I think we may get to play with a PS3 at some point too so it is actual experience of the real stuff.

As for Saturday, hopefully I won't be too late bad and we can get an hour at least in there before you have to go.

I'm back from the gym now If you still have a bit of time.

Sorry about the other day dude, I wasn't in the best of moods as you may have gathered. No hard feelings I hope.

Thank you kind Sir

Just thought I'd drop you a message thanking you for all the postings in the "Name That Game" thread - it's my favourite thread on the site!

You have a new visitor's message!

I hope you presentation went ok today

Thanks for the heads up about the demo... -Dem0- :p

Not sure if I want to give it a go or not. I'm a big FE fan, as is probably apparent, but I'm not sure if I want to tease myself with the demo when the real thing is just around the corner. Unlike other games when you download demos because you aren't sure about their quality or whether they are really for you, this game has my name written all over it.

I'll have to mull it over.

Yeah, I still have 7 or 8 games I've not finished which is pretty rare for me as I normall buy and complete them sequentially with no overlap. I even have a couple I've not even started at all. I think it's probably down to them being smaller titles, such as e-Shop games or PC ones that I have to be in the mood for.

I was so tempted to sell my 3DS last year but the annoucement of this game is what made me hold on to. This is Nintendo's chance to undo some recent damage in my eyes and I want to give them that chance because we've had good run for a long time before it all went downhill. And from everything I know about it, I think this could be the apology I've been waiting for.

Do you know if there are any pre-orders deals like the Gamestop Art book they did in the US? I've current got it on order with ShopTo but it's just the game right only and I've not heard anything about the artbook but then I've been staying away from FE:A related articles and forums.

The announcement was made back at the end of last year, so you might already know but I only came across it recently, but I see the live action Gatchaman film is finally going to happen and be released this summer in Japan after previous movie attempts have failed. I saw some clips from it the other day but there were no shots of them in uniform sadly. Still not long to go if everything remains on track.

Oh, and if you did know, why didn't you tell me

Congratulations on becoming an official forum "Aficionado" - here's to the next 1000 posts!!

Whilst Japanese by origin, Gatchaman borrows a lot more from US superheroes to the degree that a live action film shouldn't be as butchered as some other Japanese properties that are heavily reliant on their nation for characters and plot that don't work outside anime. Since it also takes itself rather seriously given the heavy subject matter often dealt with, they don't have to worry about humour and quirkyness not translating from ink drawings to live performances too.

Well if live action isn't your style, you may be happier to hear that someone has recently uploaded subbed versions of Gatchaman II and Gatchaman Fighter to Youtube. They've been on there for a while without subs but if like me, you're not particularly familiar with the lingo, these could suit you better.

Oooooooo!!! Thanks for the heads up.

The dimensions make it look as though it could be the same as the US book but with a hardcover instead of the paper one that used - the height/width ratio looks the same. The only problem with this is that it means using GAME. Oh well, if needs must.

Very kind words, Kav - thank you But at the same, just look at the competition :p

Hartelijk gefeliciteerd met je verjaardag... I hope that's right anyway :p

Just call it how I see it man

If people want to extol the virtues of Nintendo, then fair enough - this is a Ninteno forum. But it just annoys me when the only way they can lift them up is by stamping everyone else down and critising them for things that either aren't true or Nintendo are just as guilty of.

And that's when I step in :p

*Cough*Get to bed*Cough* :p
