[General Gaming / Youtube Gameplay Videos for other underappreciated systems]

Ugh, ChibiGAL. She's got decent taste in games, and I'm glad that she likes the stuff I upload, but she really takes "fervent admirer" to the next level. Like you said, Tone, she's always the first person to comment on any of my videos, and it's getting to to the point where I know exactly what she's going to say. I don't mean to rant, but if someone is going to consistently comment on my videos, I'd really appreciate it if they could vary it up a little, and at least be partially honest. I'm getting pretty tired of seeing stuff like:

"Hey Cool video awesome you Kick Ass *Hugs*"

"Awesome thanks for uploading this this game looks fun"

"Wow i played this game before its Cool LOL"

"Groupie" would actually be an excellent description. Some of the more recent messages that she's sent me have been just a little bit too flirty. It can't be just me.

[General Gaming / Goku Makaimura]

Game came out a few days ago; has anyone else gotten their hands on this yet?

Personally, I couldn't be more pleased with it: the game is Makaimura through and through. Pretty much everything is here: the traditional gameplay mechanics, superlative level design, creative boss fights, and of course, the ass-kicking difficulty level (probably the hardest title in the series yet). I've never really been a fan of the 2.5D graphical style, but hell, I'll be the first one to admit the game pulls it off well. I'd say if you're a fan of the Makaimura series at all, this is a must-own title. Worth buying a PSP for, if you ask me.

[General Gaming / Famicom/Super Famicom Squaresoft Thread]

I really loved Squaresoft back in the 16-bit era, so SFC-wise, I've enjoyed a lot of their Japan-exclusive titles. My personal favorites are: Alcahest, Front Mission (awesome art direction), Seiken Densetsu 3, and Romancing SaGa 2 & 3 (played through both with a friend who's got a native-level understanding of Japanese. Never would have been able to otherwise).

Damn, that's badass. You should list the games in the montage, if you ever get the time.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / estarland]

I buy from eStarland every now and again; pretty damn good site, if you ask me. Of all the used games I've bought from them (probably about six or seven), I've never been dissatisfied with the quality of the item. Plus, as far as I know (from my experience with trade-ins with them), they don't take/sell excessively damaged merchandise, so I wouldn't worry too much.
