Yoshi's Island DS was awful. Anything's better than that. :p Donkey Kong Country Returns and Kirby's Epic Yarn both look great graphically, but I'm not a fan of either series (though admittedly I haven't played these two games specifically). They also seem a bit less fitting for co-op, with Returns being really difficult and Epic Yarn being too easy. For the next New Super Mario Bros. I want similar gameplay but the graphical flair of Nintendo's second-party platformers. But most likely, we'll just get New Super Mario Bros. Wii with Miis. The new Kirby game looks like more of the same. It'll probably be good/decent, but slow and easy as usual.

There definitely appears to be a fan translation of Chaos;Head, though I'm not sure how good it is. It probably can't be worse than the official translation for Ever 17, though. And yeah, I saw that there's a fan translation for Steins;Gate on the way when I googled the visual novel after you mentioned it. If the story is as good as you say it is, I hope they finish it soon.

Oh, I meant the Chaos;Head visual novel. I'm far more likely to make it through a game than an anime. Though I hear the main character is annoying and the ending is disappointing, so now I'm not so sure.

That's such a hipster way of looking at it, though. "It's only special if other people aren't playing it." I don't like the idea of timed DLC at all. People complain about certain companies including DLC in new copies of their games and forcing people to pay for it if they buy the games second-hand, but at least then the DLC is available for everyone forever/for the foreseeable future. Discovering Solatorobo a year from now (I discover games I've missed all the time!) and missing out on a big chunk of content because you didn't get the game fast enough is pretty awful. I also don't like how this game is region-locked only because you can take your own picture to replace the picture on your save file with (or something like that, I haven't played the game).

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was awesome in co-op. Not sure if it'd be as much fun alone, but I'm assuming it'd still be a lot better than New Super Mario Bros. for the DS. That game was really average and uninspired.

Yes! Awesome game. It's too bad the developer failed to realize what made the game so good and completely messed up Commandos 3. Then they turned the latest game into an FPS and I lost all interest in the series. Another hint for the final screenshot: The gameplay in this post-apocalyptic game is often likened to Uncharted.

Haha, saying it's based on a visual novel just makes me want to check that out instead of watching the anime. :p *Waits patiently for a fan translation* I may check out Chaos;Head while I wait. I hear that's by the same company.

Secret Agent Clank, but close enough. Oh, I google all kinds of things to find out where your screenshots are from. Though Moogle already guessed it (the game is called Soleil in Europe), so... Further hints for the remaining screenshots: 44. In this World War 2 game you control several different characters as they make their way through the missions in many possible ways. 46. The developer behind this game was also responsible for one of the few games that were considered worthwhile during the first year of the PlayStation 3.

It saves on emoticons.

No. Wrong console. Yep. Though I did pretty much give the answer away. :p

You can read it here. Be afraid, Moogle. Be very afraid.

Yep. Haha, you're on fire today. All correct. I'm glad I googled that, because I didn't realize that Crusader of Centy had a different name in Europe. You're right, of course. Hints for the remaining screenshots: 41. Platformer where you play as three different characters. 43. Platformer spin-off starring a character from a well-known series. 44. A non-FPS set during a war! This was the first (of two) games in this five-game series to be released on consoles. 46. Is a current-generation game. The screenshot is of a character who only appears in the DLC.

I've never played any of the Spyro games, so I wouldn't know. :p Both guesses are wrong, sorry.

Don't worry, Tales! You're both wrong. None of these guesses are correct. Sorry. You're way off on 39, but you're on the right track (genre-wise) for the other two. 48 is Portal 2 (or at least that's what it's supposed to be), but close enough!

Yeah, you are. Your other guesses are incorrect.

Stolen from the GameFAQs message boards: Ugh... I've actually become kind of interested in this game after reading up on it. Curse you all for making me aware of its existence. I really can't afford to buy any more games right now.

The theme this round is the incredibly helpful "selection of games Magnus has played this year". :p 37. Ever 17 - Dog-amoto 38. inFAMOUS 2 - Dog-amotp 39. Jade Empire - Dog-amoto 40. L.A. Noire - MadDog 41. Secret Agent Clank - Dog-amoto 42. Fable 3 - Dog-amoto 43. Daxter - Jonnas 44. Commandos 2: Men of Courage - Dog-amoto 45. Mother 3 - Jonnas 46. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - Captain Falcon 47. Crusader of Centy/Soleil - MoogleViper 48. Portal 2 - mcj metroid

I sometimes dream that I know I'm dreaming. It's very meta.

I feel like the only games I buy these days are handheld games to keep my brother entertained. Not that I'm not going to play these games, but I probably wouldn't have bought them right now if I didn't feel like I had to keep my brother from replaying the Ace Attorney series for the hundredth time. Chrono Trigger I've already played, though, so I only bought that because I knew it was the only way he'd ever play it.

I've played it once. I wasn't very good at it.

I've been meaning to watch this, but part of me feels like I should watch the Danish original first. But I'm probably not going to want to watch both and would probably take more to the American version, so I should just get over it. Meh, I'm halfway through Friday Night Lights at the moment, so it doesn't really matter right now anyway. I hear a lot of fans really disliked one thing in The Killing, but I won't spoil it... I can't decide if it's a big or a small spoiler.

All of these cameras climbing around all over the place are starting to creep me out. You should make stuff. But didn't you just make some magnets? You should show those off first. :p A friend commissioned me to make her a fairy out of clay, and after agonizing over how I was going to make the wings for several weeks, I came across this tutorial. So now it's just been a matter of tracking down everything needed to make them.

I've bought everything I need to make fairy wings (that I didn't already have in the house). I'd worry about losing man points, but I think that ship sailed a long time ago.

Obviously he's counting on Ine becoming a famous artist. What do you do with a B.A. in English? What is my life going to be? Four years of college And plenty of knowledge Have earned me this useless degree. I can't pay the bills yet 'Cause I have no skills yet. The world is a big scary place. But somehow I can't shake The feeling I might make A difference to the human race!
