teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[JapanTokei]

ROFLMAO -  I'm with ya!  not just even RPGs.. even some gaming time is precious these days with my baby son (coming up one 1 year now!!  so fast)... but at least with brainless games like Outrun, AfterBurner, R-type, Nexzr etc, I can get in and out... epic RPGs are a luxury which is not possible anymore....   

You should try to do a straight play through of thousand year, maybe it's nostalgia blocking my view but I'd call TYD my favorite RPG.   

That's probably my problem.  Gaming time has been at a premium for me for the past few years (since my kid was born) so I find it very difficult to dedicate myself to just one game for very long.  As hard as I try, it's only a matter of weeks before some new (or old) game makes me go "ooh - shiny!" and all of a sudden it's been 6+ months since I last played TYD and I have to figure out where I am and where I need to go next.

So the moral of the story is "Don't have kids until you've played all the good RPGs."

My recent gets. Bite the bullet (ha shmup joke) and bought a 360 today.  Got the games i ordered from Blue. Thanks again, and the packaging was outstanding. I will be raffling off the copy of FF origin since i have a complete one already

how much do US 360 consoles run these days?

[JapanTokei]

$199 for 4gb version.  though if you are buying a new pc now, check out Microsoft stores (physical retail or their online store), and some of the models above $699 comes with free xbox360 gig!!  it's pretty sweet deal.

HAHAHAH and knowing is half the battle....

I feel yer "pain." It gets better as they get older cause then you can all play together, but then they end up hogging the systems....*facepalm*

hahah, Ope I know.. luckily my still works  (my univ provides life-long mail forwarding.. its awesome)!!  
but I ended up buying a firesale system on Dell today instead of taking advantage of the Xbox offer (which also meant I needed to spend more though so it's kinda a wash).  
I was originally thinking about getting the Alienware X51 (Dell has it for $799 for students w/free Xbox360 4 gig).. but the specs in that one was crap and the powersupply is locked into a low powered 220 one, rendering it non-upgradable.  So I picked up a i5-2320 / 8gig ram / 1 TB / mini tower with the usual other stuff for $499 ($535 shipped)  This will replace my 5 year old Core2Duo E6300 (overclocked to 2.33 Ghz).

I've never played it but it looks kinda obscure... prince of persia + Maruchan Maze on steroids... should be interesting..
any of you play this before?  I read it is a later release hence not well publicized but certainly looks interesting...

I know! Unless I stick with one RPG for a LONG time (as you said), it's nigh impossible to complete it.

KIDS!

I got stuck at some point and never finished it. I totally enjoyed that game until I got stuck.

Tokei, it is definitely a game you want to "immerse" yourself in. Give it a chance.

Also, if you enjoyed older computer game genres (i.e. point-and-click, action puzzles, Solstice on NES, etc.) then you will totally love Göẗzëndïënër.
