I am by no means a music guy, but Streetlight Manifesto has been my favorite band for almost ten years now.
(not sure how to embed, but there ya go. That song's off their newest album, which came out a three, maybe four years ago)
edit - turns out the forum does it for me. Nice.
Also, the lead singer of Streetlight performs a fair few of their songs solo. Here's the music video for one; it's a bit odd in parts, but I love the animation quite a bit.
Wait.. So is it confirmed that if I were to start an American game in, say, Pokemon X, using the French language option, then somehow fumble my way through the file long enough to get a Ditto, the increased shiny chance would work when I traded it over?
Hyper Light Drifter and Metroid Prime definitely make the grade, I think.
Hey there, folks. So, a few years back, I got down to brass tacks and assembled all of my Pokemon games; I took inventory of every Pokemon I had, wrote up word documents of each one I was missing, and plowed through all of it over the course of two or three weeks - transferring from versions as far back as Ruby and Fire Red all the way up to my Y version, breeding, grinding against the elite four, and I finally managed it - I completed the Pokedex in Y version. Now, with Sun and Moon on the horizon, I'd like to go back and turn that completed Pokedex into a living Pokedex on my Pokemon bank account; since I have a Shining Charm, however, I'd like to tack on that extra little Masuda Breeding buff to increase my chances of getting some neat shinies out of the legwork I'm going to have to put in.
So, bottom line; does anyone here happen to have a Ditto of any region code except the United States? The Ditto can be of any nature or any IV spread; I don't intend to use it for any competitive breeding, so no need to send over something tremendously hard to get unless you've got some ludicrously large number of competitive quality dittos to hand out for some reason. I've got a fair few Charmanders of adamant nature with Outrage and perfect attack stats lying around in my boxes, and if you really need it, I like three boxes of legendary Pokemon to offer as well; I may very well have a double of something you need.
Edit: Just a small note; I had looked into the various subreddits dedicated toward handing out breeding quality Dittos and casual trading, but all of them seem to paradoxically require that you've been trading on Reddit before you can start doing so under their banner. Looking at the requirements for the ones I found, it seemed like several days worth of work, waiting, and communicating with moderators in order to possibly get access to a reliable trade partner. Pretty much makes it a last resort option, to be honest.
@DeweyDTruman A second playthrough of Cave Story was the first game I jumped into after my big breakup a few years back. That game is fantastic.
I'm also a huge fan of Outland, which is a game I never really see anyone talk about :c
Dangit. Now I want to watch Unlimited Blade Works again. I just marathoned it for my second time last month : S.
What games would you want to play? Here's my personal list to kick things off:
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 - I feel like I'm obligated to play some Shin Megami Tensei game on stream, and I think these make a good introductory set. They're not as long as Nocturne or Persona, they're a little under the radar, and I think I could keep things moving at a nice pace without too much grinding.
Metroid Prime 1, 2, and 3 - Partially because I just don't see anyone playing these games. Metroid Prime was my favorite game of all time for ages, and it might still be at the top of my list. I know the game front to back, and can pretty effortlessly hit mid 90's in completion percentage, so again, I think I could keep the flow from getting too stale.
Metroid Fusion - nice little bite-sized 2 hour game after the number of times I've gone through it.
Mega Man Zero 3 - this one's a little complicated. I'm not too bad at this game, but it requires a lot of memorization to be effective at, and my standards for end-of-chapter scores are very high when it comes to my own personal playthroughs. I think if I were to do this one, I'd have to start a poll to ask what sorts of rules the chat would like me to play under - no subtanks, restart the stage after death, A rank only, S rank only, and so on.
Legend of Dragoon - This was my first RPG, so I hold it near and dear to my heart. Grinding additions could cause it to drag, but I think the game itself doesn't require too much effort, so it'd probably be pretty fun.
Outland - a Metroid-meets-Ikaruga style game by Housemarque that I liked quite a lot. Another game that I feel like nobody talks about, so I'd like to give it some exposure.
Sonic 3 and Knuckles - this game embodies my childhood, so it'd be fun to run through it every now and again. I play it a couple times a year, anyway.
Tales of Xillia - probably just so I could get my thoughts on the game out. After Symphonia, I had never managed to finish another Tales game until I bought Xillia on a whim. It gripped me pretty thoroughly.
That's a start, anyway. So, yeah, let's start a discussion!
Seconding Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. Also, let's throw in a random plug for Trigun, just in case.
Currently I'm in between shows. I recently finished a second watch of Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, though. Those shows kick all sorts of ass, and I've got a minor obsession with the canon at the moment.
So, as many who clicked on this topic will no doubt know, Zero Time Dilemma is on the verge of releasing around the world. As many who click on this will also likely know, the plot to the Zero Escape franchise is pretty complicated, featuring a tangled weave of detailed character backstories and a great deal of time travel.
So, the question is, how best to refresh oneself on the story so far? Personally, even though I played both to completion, I did so on release for both games, so it's been a while. To me, these are games that can only be played properly once, so approaching a refresher marathon has been something of a complicated issue.
Whaddyou folks think? Is it best to boot it up and erase the data, then pretend never to have played the game before and base all decisions on that approach? Or, just gun for the final, true endings? Maybe skip the procedure, and just catch up on a wiki? Personally, I have no idea, and time's starting to run thin!
