Btw, Wipeout is insanely more awesome once you add your own music. I have a great techno remix of the Tetris theme and some hip hop songs.

[Mario the black knight]

Yeah, ACII is an easy one, minus the feathers being a little frustrating.

Yeah, SotC is a definate Platinum, along with Ico. Those ones will be effortless for us though, ha ha ha ha, not as much for everyone else, but for us, no problem, hah a ha. And yeah, that might be a rarity for me, I might ACTUALLY buy that one when it comes out, and if theres Pre order bonuses/special editions or anything, I'll be doing all that, which will be my new most expensive actual game purchese ever, beating the previous record, oddly enough, I beileve, Ico.

I don't think so, It's not like I'm putting concious effort into the actual trophy hunt, I just have my natural habit of doing everything I can to more completely play a game, doing what I can to beat a game as close to 100% as possible, which in the end includes trophies as well. Theres also the fact that I don't often buy games, so I wanna beat the ones I have before I get new ones most of the time, not to mention I need to usually spend my money on a lot of stuff before I spend it on games, ha ha ha.

Beileve me, once your a broke college student who can't afford games, you'll be a good trophy hunter too, ha ha ha ha.

Really? I remember you not being a hip hop person back in the day, what have you got on there? And personally, I actually like a few songs on the Wipeout soundtrack, plus I only have 3 CDs on my miniture (ironically) not slim HDD.

As far as music and games are concerned, and because I'm not sure where else to post this, right now on Jimmy Fallon, one of the bands who did a song for Littlebig Planet is on doing a song, and it's amazing. You know that one song from the Metropolis? Battles? Those guys. It's awesome.

[pichubro]

So I think the reason my PS3's freezing is because someone's stealing our internet. Everything in our house has been slow lately.

I actually have maybe 5 feathers left in ACII, and I know where they are, I'm just lazy. x3

Yeah, I've never gotten pre-order bonuses before, but I'll make an exception for the collection if the bonuese are still there because an artbook would be a great bonuses on its own. The only thing(s) that would make the pre-order better is if it came with both soundtracks as well.

Ah, I see. I also love getting 100%, I'm just a slow player. When I first played SotC, it took me four hours to beat the second colossus because I decided to explore the world after the first colossus. xD And when I played Okami I pretty much did the same thing and actually found most of the stray beads before the ark arrived. Hell, when I played the 1986 original Zelda game I was so keen on exploring that I skipped out on getting the sword because I didn't know that it was in the cave at the start.
Knowing me, I'll turn Ico into a 15 hour long game. xP If I really love a game, I'll always find a way to extend its life.

I have a small collection of Nujabes, Force of Nature, A Tribe Called Quest, Shing02... The problem is that most of those guys' songs are rather laid-back for Wipeout so I try to get their "faster" songs as part of my soundtrack. I also have some nostalgic songs from FreQuency, the chase theme from ACII, and I'll probably get some stuff from some more video game soundtracks. I'm having too much fun with the custom music option. Hahahaha

[Mario the black knight]

Oh wow, you don't have a WEP key?

Yeah, lazyness is the enemy of feather collection, especially when you don't know where to start, using the guide requires a lot of pacience.

Yeah, I only ever got went for them once, and that was for Birth by Sleep, but of course they didn't give it to me, so I missed out anyway. And yeah, I definatly want not only that, but the soundtracks would be unbeileveable and 200% worth it. No price could hold me back.

Yeah, I try to take my time and be therough, but I'm still pretty quick I guess even when I'm being slow, ha a ha ha. Although I might be setting a slowness record in Okami, since I still have like 3 or 4 beads left and haven't touched it since the outage. Yeah, that game took me a week or so to 100%. Maybe 2 weeks, I forget. But I beat it literally minutes before I started Twilight Princess. Like, decided I was gonna beat the original, then beat Twilight Princess. And yeah, I tried the same thing, I loved Ico so much, I really took my time in that, I think I even took 12 hours in that. I really never wanted Ico to end.

Thats some good stuff, I like Tribe, and obviously Nujabes. Yeah, hip hop is not exactly driving music at all, much less flying music. AC II CHASE THEME!! I love that song!! I think the techno-y stuff is the best for this game. Yeah, I played with it one day in Littlebig Planet. But all I have is one Beastie Boys CD and 2 King Crimson albums, certainly nothing to drive space ships too, ha ha ha.

[Mario the black knight]

Oh yeah, you'll be happy to know I just reached level 41 as well using your settings.

Perhaps it's the settings, ha h ha ha ha, maybe they just can't handle past 40

[pichubro]

Hahahaha maybe.

[Mario the black knight]

We'll just have to tune a better setup

Also, Detonator mode is so awesome. I wish there was an online version.

[Mario the black knight]

So here's something kinda frustrating to me

blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/20/amy-is-survival-horror-evolved-coming-to-psn-this-summer/

So let me get this straight. So it's a survival horror that takes place in the future, where a mysterious virus breaks out after a comet IMPACT, and your character can only carry one weapon at a time? Does that sound familiar? The best part: In the inital development stages of my game, there was a plan to have a partner character who basically did similar stuff. I hate when people steal my ideas!! And what I find funny is, on the forums for Yoyo games, people thought my concept was outlandish and ridiculous for a story! But on the PSN website, everyones like YEAH, SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA!!

I guess I'm just ahead of my time...

[pichubro]

Awwww

People are silly like that.

[Mario the black knight]

Yeah, it does look like a good idea though...

...well of course I think that! It's my idea!!

Still looks interesting though. And I bet if I try to use my idea again, people will be like "Oh, these guys are just immitating Amy!" NO, THEY ARE IMMITATING ME!!

[Mario the black knight]

Ahhh, that was fun, I love Escort. It's like a real assassination mission, so it makes the most sense.

Next time we'll hopefully get to play when I have a clear room, that drives me crazy. Like, there was a few times where the opponents got away with stunning me or killing my VIP with someone nearby with their back turned not noticing me and I was sitting there just like "turn around turn around turn aroundddd!!!!!!!" Ha ha ha ha ha

That was fun though, we really brought the ruckus a couple of rounds, we pulled a few 5000 rounds.

[pichubro]

Yeah, Escort's great.

Hahahaha nice. Yeah, there was even a round when you got 9 kills; you were really on a roll. And thankfully the people who had mics last night actually knew that I was a girl. A couple hours prior I was playing Red Dead Redemption and these two goons online just couldn't accept that I was female.

"You're sound like a 12 year old!"
"Sigh..."
"You shouldn't be playing M rated games. Maybe you should go back to playing the Wii."

And I swear that they were younger than 17. And what's even worse, the GIRL in their group said the same thing. Is it really that hard to tell? I guess my voice is a little funny, but I don't think I sound like a guy.

[pichubro]

Or maybe I was just too cool for them and they didn't know how to talk to me with their silly narrow minds.

ಠ_ಈ "Mmm, a spot of tea please, good sirs. Oh, I see that you have shot me to death, good show. I shall remember to cover my bosom upon my next respawn."

[Mario the black knight]

Wha!? I did!? Jeez! I didn't even see that! Wow. Awesome! That must have been the round I got 6000. You were throwing down too though, I know you had one round where your score was just completely untouchable by everyone. Though most rounds we were right in synch with each other. I remember one round where we just partnered up and just dominated, anything I missed, you got, and visa versa. That round was awesome.

Wow........Really!?! I honestly don't get that, your voice is very female. It's not funny at all, your voice is perfectly fine! It's just that most of them have probably never heard a girl before, ha ha ha ha.

Yeah, you definately were too cool for them, thats definately obvious. Because cool people make awesome smilies like that, Ha ha ha ha ha h ah ha

Good morning by the way

[pichubro]

Yeah, we make quite a team when our mics don't spaz out. I hope it's a temporary problem because I've grown fond of my headphones and would have to give up a future game to pay for new ones.

Hahaha maybe.

Yes! I found that symbol that looked like a monocle and thought that it needed to be a part of a smilie.

And good night... Or early morning by now. Ehhh times zones.

[pichubro]

And I'm probably not going to play tomorrow.

I borrowed two anime series from the library today. I'm almost done with one (Eden of the East), and the other one (The Twelve Kingdoms) has 45 episodes. But Eden of the East has been a great show so far. Very entertaining.

[Mario the black knight]

Yeaaaaah, We definately were at our peak when the mics were functioning. Yeaaah, that would be sad... I'll need to get a real headset too, mine is getting annoying.

And indeed it was perfect. It even beat the built in monocle smilie here. It's probably the best one ever.

Ha ha ha ha ha, I was saying that yesterday afternoon because it was your first post of the day and I was assuming you had just woken up really late.

And Awwww, thats sad! But I guess the reasoning is good. Although I didn't know you could borrow anime from the library. Interesting indeed though. You seem to power though anime, ha ha ha ha. They both sound really ancient-ie.

[pichubro]

The Twelve Kingdoms is a little old, but Eden of the East debuted in 2009, but it's by a very talented company that has very original ideas.

AND WHHHHHHHYY COULDN'T I BE AT E3 THIS YEAR?!?!?!

Apparently there was a playable demo of the SotC/ICO collection!

youtu.be/KG9-FQS-Pb8

Not a big fan of the music the vdeio editors added, but it looks amazingggg! Plus the person playing fails at the games forever. Jeez, the whole time I was like "No, you idiot!" hahaha
And I didn't post IGN's because they showed less gameplay, but they had it in surround sound and it was so cool.

And here's a new trailer for the collection: youtu.be/EmHq2LhtDg0

Now why couldn't they do this during the conference for all to see- oh, I guess the PSV was the star of the show this year.

[Mario the black knight]

They both sound interesting though, And interesting original ideas from a new anime company!?>! Thats a shocking premise.

KJAKLJDKLAHFJHSFHASKLF!!1 PUT IT ON PSN!!! COME ON, DO IT SONY!! DO ITTTTT!!!

God that looks amazing, Wanderer's awkward flailing run looks so crisp and clean, and his tunic, like, waves in the wind so much! It's just mindblowing! And Ico is still perfect. God did that guy suck though, at both games! He probably quit at SotC because he sucked at it so badly. And it took him like, an hour to beat those guys in Ico! I was yelling at him too, ha ha ha ha ha.

Oh my god, I can't even imagine those games in Surround, It would just be...oh my god, perfect immersion. I wish I had surround still

AHHHHHHHGFAFGJAHFA, That trailer made me want that game like a thousand times more than I already wanted it!! AHHHHH!! DO WANT DO WANT DO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!!!!!!

Well yeah, if they had shown this, who would have stayed to see Vita? Not that Vita is bad at all, it's just that this is like, untoppable, nothing can possibly be greater than this.

[pichubro]

Yeah, it's a great plot devoid of the usual cliches of saving the world or finding the world. It's refreshingly realistic while at the same time evoking enough scifi elements to keep it unique.

Seriously! Unless it's the whole game so they can't. Hurk.

Yeah, could they have found anyone more fail at the games. It's like they pulled someone off the street who has never even heard of the games and told them to play. I would've beaten the colossus in one minute flat, come on now.
Or maybe not, because that stamina bar is so tiny. My is so huge now that it takes up the screen and never runs out. Hahahahaha

Yeah, I swear that Sony could've said their apology, had told people of the PSV's price and their new games coming out and then ended with a gameplay trailer of ONE of these and Sony would've sold the show.

[Mario the black knight]

Woah! And no annoying young male protagonist looking to achieve some vague impossible to achieve goal!? Sounds like a myth!

Argh... Although it doesn't seem that way, since Ico started someplace in the middle of the game, and the second colossus was first, so I doubt it.

Yeah, really. Although a lot of people who have heard of games are often worse. Chances are the player was so shocked by actually being able to see his character that he wasn't sure what to do with it. And yeah, I could have definately wrecked that guy in a minute or so, you don't need a big stamina gauge to beat that guy. Ha h ha ha ha, thats pretty ridiculous.

Well I think the main reason they didn't was because Ueda wasn't there to present it. Plus they don't seem to have a trailer in english. So yeahh. It's not like they did bad this year though, they were still better than everyone else. Although they could have had Kevin Butler taking stuff out of imaginary treasure chests.

[pichubro]

It's more like he's trying to figure out how to not die, since he was forced into a blood competition against 11 other players. Each player is given 10 billion yen to use at their disposal, and if the Savior (the guy that gave them the money) disapproves of what they do with the money, then they are killed. The players must spend the money at a good rate, they can't ask for more, and cannot share each other's funds. If they run out of money and did not spend it to the Savior's liking (IE using the money for purely personal gain), then the player is killed.

The players are all given special cell phones in which they can scan to spend the money. And each time they use their phone it's put on a log that the other players can see. And all the players can use their phones to call a woman named Juiz (Judge in Portuguese), and she is the middle man that will fulfill any and all requests of the player. To test it out, the main character had the Prime Minister say "Uncle" on live TV. Hahaha "So I can literally request anything? " And if any request takes money, it'll be deducted from the player's total.
Oh, and players can't steal each other's phones because they are fingerprinted encoded.

It's truly fun to watch. Too bad it's only 11 episodes and two movies. But then, the studio's know for their short, engaging series.

IGN actaully showed the first colossus's corpse, so it's possible that they just played it to the second colossus. And IGN also showed what I think was the first cutscene, so the ICO clip could've been edited as well.

My stamina gauge is so huge, I'll have a culture shock when I eventually start over again. How stressful to think that Wander will actually let go after a time. xD

Yeah, he didn't want to go; probably because he was too busy working on TLG. And Kevin Butler was busy saving the world so they both had good excuses.

[Mario the black knight]

Woah...........That story sounds incredible! And short! Brilliant! Too bad I'm cursed in the realm of anime, otherwise I'd watch it. That does sound like an insanely awesome story though. It makes sense it being that short, could the really be a season 2?

Hmmmm, possibly. I just want it to be possible that there is a Demo!!! And do you mean the first cutscene in Ico? They showed the opening video, but no first cutscene from what I saw.

Ha ha ha ha ha h, it will be a lovely challenge. It'll actually be challenging again for you. That will be good.

Yeah, indeed. That or he was stuck at home because he's trying to figure out exactly what clothes would be perfect for him to wear there. Chances are though he probably actually lives at the studio and works on the game constantly and just doesn't sleep or change his clothes. Indeeeeeed. I just wonder what Butlerman was fighting against, prolly destroying Reapers with his Move bow.

[pichubro]

Yeah, the ending was really great too. They WERE going to make a second series, but decided that the story would be better told in two movies, so they did it like that. I'll have to find those on the internet somewhere. But jeez, one of the players was a sociopath who launched 60 nuclear missiles at Japan to "rebirth" it to pre-war era, and another was a serial killer. I guess the creator of the game likes to experiment with who he should give ultimate power to. Most of them don't even want to win and be the last one alive.

IGN showed beating the first colossus, but that's it. It could be assumed that the people in the other video played ICO up to the point where they were, since IGN only showed the first cutscene after the title screen.

I just tired it. I was doing good until the 3rd colossus when I thought that I could still cheat the system. The game's easier with the invisibility cloak. xP

Ah, the whimsical lives of game designers and VPs. Hahaha
