Im finally able to get enough time to reply, no thanks to mount and blade.
I've heard great things about Mount and Blade. It's another game I own, but haven't touched yet.
I've been sort of stuck on Metal Gear Solid 3 for a couple years. It seems that every time I start playing it, I'll get a few hours into the game, but then I won't touch it for several months because I'll be too busy writing or whatever. Then when I finally get around to picking up the PS3 controller again, I've forgotten how to play and what's going on in the story. So I start the game over and the process repeats. I started it over once again yesterday, but this time I got through a big chunk of the game and intend to finally finish it.
Yeah, there was a game at gr8bit where a bunch of people would control diferent parts of a space ship. They had a bunch of old computers and a projector set up to play it.
Ah, that actually sounds pretty awesome. I didn't spend much time in the gaming area, so I didn't realize that was going on.
I definitely recommend getting around to skyrim and using some of the amazing mods for it. Its like one of the most modded gsmes ever, and for good reason. If you have the hardware for it, the game can be modded to be quite beautiful. Yeah, i would recommend checking it out when you have the chance. Cheap games and backwards compatability are the reason that i have a pc.
I'll definitely get around to it eventually. Whenever a game has a ton of mods, like Skyrim, I tend to spend forever researching them all in order to determine which mods to use. It's often a big ordeal, since it can involve reading lots and lots of forum posts, especially when there are multiple mods with large followings that purport to do the same thing but in different ways. And then of course I need to figure out what mods are compatible with one another.
I honestly havnt watched many subbed anime besides for a couple, like mirai Nikki and Elfen Lied. Oh yeah, i watched the sub for ghost in the shell too. Sometimes the dubs are just too terrible. The terrible american pop references are usually worse in the mangas for me because all i really read is fan translated, because it comes out before the official one, and way before the anime equivilent.
Like most Americans who got into anime in the late '90s, I was introduced to it via dubs (back when Suncoast Video would sell a $30 VHS tape with a measly two episodes of a series). I think the first anime I saw that I thought was ultra-rad was the Ninja Scroll movie. Then my buddy got me into Ranma 1/2, which I first dismissed as seeming totally lame, but then I got hooked on it.
I had never even considered watching anime subtitled until I was borrowing a DVD of Bubblegum Crisis from my friend. I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty meh. Then I noticed that the DVD had an option to watch it with the original Japanese voice acting with English subtitles, so I decided to re-watch the first episode, just to compare. It was like a night and day difference. I've been a staunch subtitle devotee ever since.
I wish more Japanese video games had the option to have the original voice acting with English subtitles.
