1 vs 100 - You playin? and other games
16 years ago
General
This is the beginning of my Journal.
It's my new addiction. The wife and I play it a lot and try to catch the early live show on Saturday. It's pretty fun.
Anyone else out there enjoy a good trivia game once in a while.
And my other huge addiction right now: Magic the gathering, Duels of the Planeswalkers. I'm mad that the decks are pre-builts and that the computer gets tons of mana but I always seem to get screwed unless I start with 4 in my hand, then I don't have anything to play afterward. You open up the entire white deck and there are some really good cards like Purity and the Legendary Angel that resurrects a creature a per turn from your graveyard. Again, the wife and I play the two-headed giant co-op mode on that one. If anyone plays that, let me know. I feel like playing a real person would be a welcome change of pace.
Speaking of, I get really nervous when I play online and tend to feel very "weak in the knees" if you will when I am playing against someone. It really prevents me from playing online games very often unless they are co-op. I really wanted to have someone to co-op with in Gears of War 1 + 2, but I don't have but one friend on 360. Maybe I should hang out on the forums...The only game I don't really care what happens in is Castle Crashers because it's not really a competitive game and I think the princess fights are just in good fun. It's not like anyone's crazy mad if they loose that because there is only one achievement associated with it...speaking of, I can't get the Medic! achievement or the arena or glort! ones because no one plays the other CC modes...especially the one where the person with a turbo controller wins.
I also am hooked on Eternal Sonata...mostly because the person (or persons) responsible for the character models was the same one that did the KH series, so it's got a lot of that same feel, though I wish the battle system was that way. For my money, Falsetto is the coolest character in that game, I just like her character model and I feel like that goes a long way when it comes to who is in my party...what is up with Beat?! # Super Paper Mario...Wish it were more like 1000 year door. I might just put that on my game fly to play it again...can you save gamecube game saves on the wii? Probably not, huh? That would make way to much sense.
Anyways,
That's what I'm playin' now, trying to finish them up so that I can get back to playing The Last Remnant...that game is going to take me FOREVER to beat, but there's a part of it I really enjoy when it comes to the sheer amount of sidequest availability. I think sidequests make or break an RPG. FF7 would have been a completely unremarkable game without the sidequests ... and the Golden Saucer Arcade. If they remade 7, I would hope they would include all the extra arcade-style games...even the sub and moogle games...though I much prefer the snowboarding game.
What was your favorite side quest in any game?
I think mine was the chocobo searching game in FF9. I could do that for HOURS!
Anyway,
I was thinking about doing a little bonus comic for LB to see if I can actually get something together but my problem is the backgrounds, so I would really have to stop being lazy and draw some backgrounds out on paper and use them. I feel like Chalo cops out on his backgrounds and fills up the panels with boobs to compensate and sometimes that leads to confusion with panel progression, but I really shouldn't throw stones considering on how I'm not the uber famous head-eclipsing boobs-drawer that he is.
Also wanted to throw in there that DA had a thing about DAZ3d studio for free, so I downloaded it because I really think that my style would lend itself pretty well to cel shaded 3D stuff, but I don't know the first thing about 3d work so I'm at a loss as to how to even begin, so I've been a little trepidatious about proceeding in that vein. Any tuts anyone can suggest?
So whuteva yo,

What happened with Google SketchUp (for backdrops, that is?)

OP
I wrote this long response then deleted it because it amounted to: The time I thought I would save by using Sketchup turned out to be minuscule at best. If I were to continue on, I would have to scrap the current models I created because they weren't to scale and that screwed up a lot of the perspective.

I've play the 1 vs 100 thing last night. It was quite fun, as much as i wasn't into trivia games.. I used to have gear 1 and 2, but the first I sold and the second my friend is borrowing right now... i have the magic game as well, but only the trial. I need to get some Microsoft points

OP
urrrg! I want to be in the mob!!! I feel like some of the folks in the mob aren't the brightest, then they throw out a question about noble gases and I'm like WTF?
