JJGM1100 : Granted, but your wish gets confused and instead you get to figure out what a gaming laptop means in battle after obtaining Vizzed status.

I wish for everyone to get smarter.

I personally decide according to two factors: how much I believe the game is worth and my financial situation.

If I think the game is overpriced, I usually wait until the price drops or until I can buy it used. I also wait when I think a game has a fair price, but it's over my budget to buy it. Games I try to get at launch are in general high-demand games that are actually good. An example of this (for me) would be Super Smash Brothers Brawl (the sequel will probably fit in that category too, once released).

Also, if a game doesn't interest me, I just don't buy it (that's common sense, why did I feel the need to say it? Whatever...)

I've tried Starbound, and have been utterly disappointed. It's not worth it's price at the moment (though it's still in Beta, I believe). I suggest you get Terraria instead; it's a side-scrolling sandbox as well, but it's much easier to start and much more enjoyable, in my opinion.

1. G Free ~ Final Dream

This is a remix of ZUN's "G Free", the seventh track of Touhou Magical Astronomy, one of his albums. The track is technically a game OST, since it was made for the fan-game Touhou Concealed the Conclusion. But for that reason, I'm going to name another great track (in my opinion, of course).

2. Confrontation ~ Presto 2009
Ace Attorney Investigation: Miles Edgeworth's presto confrontation theme. I took a different series, because there are so many good Touhou songs, I wanted to put something more... common in North America, that is also good, and that has a different style and feel.

There are many more, but if I listed them all it would take a lot of space and too much of my time: I have played and completed over 100 games (litterally) and there are a lot of good songs in there.

Let me blow all your minds, maybe: a joyful worried genius. I mean I'd rather be a worried genius, because I LIKE worrying. It's not a lie: I really do. If I didn't worry, with everything that's going on all around the world, I'd figure I'd be PRETTY innocent, not that it's bad, I just prefer being aware. And the more aware people are, the better, because we can CHANGE things, improve them. And that matters.

My favorite Vanilla biome is the new Meza biome, getting hardened clay easily, without spending too much time looking for clay and coal. But my favorite mod biome (found in FTB) is the Autumn Woods biome, with all the pretty leaves colors.

I'll try to join, but I probably can't before 5PM. I should be on at ~5:30PM though [EST]. So I'll be about 30 minutes late, I think CST is one hour late on EST (so 5PM EST = 4PM CST, I think). It's been a while I played Halo 3 though, gotten used to the newest ones.

PS: God I hate needlers...

THE most confusing anime I watched was D.N. Angel. Note I'm talking about the anime. I stopped at episode 2, realizing everything wasn't following the chronological order! Probably messing up from the manga... Anyways, I decided I'd try the manga if I ever came around to wanting to read it... But yeah, that's my most confusing anime. Didn't even make sense in backwards chronology.

I did watch Steins;Gate and Chaos;Head BTW.

If I had to list all the animes I have seen, the page would fill up quick. It's hard for me to decide on a favorite, even on a top 20 without particular order, cause I'd need to review them, having enjoyed most highly. But here are some tops on my list, maybe not my exact top 12, but:

- One Piece
- Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
- Mondaiji Tachi Ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu Yo? (Problem Children Are Coming From Another World, Aren't They? [or something similar])
- Chaos;Head
- Umineko no Naku Koro ni (When the Seagulls Cry)
- Shakugan no Shana
- Guilty Crown [Only season 1, season 2 goes downhill FAST]
- Hellsing Ultimate
- Broken Blade
- Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo
- Baccano!
- Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

These are my favorites, I think, and for now.
Bonus, the ones I dislike, some of which might bring hate upon me, but I don't care:

- Dragon Ball Z (not Dragon Ball). Too much "show-off" for me, and way too many transforms and power increases...
- Naruto (not Shippuden, second season being better is rare.) To be fair, it wasn't horrible, I just didn't like it.
- I never saw it, but since I need a 3rd... School Days. No surprise there, right?

My dislikes are 60% personal enjoyment & 40% anime "guidelines"/"factors".
Except School Days, which is 50% facts presented by reviews, 40% hear-say and 10% resume of anime.

The first anime I ever watched was Pokemon, airing on Teletoon, if I remember correclty. I didn't even know it was one back then. But my real introductions to the world of anime were Inuyasha and FMA (Brotherhood? Can't remember...), airing on YTV when I was about 8 or 9, I think. That's when I was first introduced to it. I did watch Cardcaptor Sakura when I was younger, though, but as with Pokemon, didn't know it was anime till later (yeah, judge me for all I care, I still like that show! Childhood memories and all, although it definitely isn't among the best, it's still a good one). I didn't learn of the term "anime" till I was 14-15 though. I was lonely before then.

To cheer myself up (I rarely have to), I do a few things, in this order:

-Do some philosophical thinking (mainly on perception, reality and truth).
-Listen to instrumental music with a happy or soothing air.
-Play video games or another pass-time.
-If all else fails, play video games until something lucky or awesome happens to me. (Usually using Minecraft in these cases, vanilla or modded.)
-And if that doesn't work, well time will, although it rarely comes to that.

I've had this happen to me a few times before as well. Mostly in video games though, example when I planned to NOT look for a rare, difficult and precious enemy because I wanted to level up on some classes (RPGs, ya know), and run into that rare enemy in particular who I tried to find for weeks beforehand, and get beat cause I was leveling. Damn that burns me. Though usually I have the opposite and I'm very lucky. That just makes it burn more when it happens.
If anything worse happened to me, I wiped it from my memory, and I can't remember 8P.

Congrats! I'm happy to know there is one less soul forced to kill poeple by their country. Yeah, sounds pacifist, is pacifist. Hope you find yourself a job you like!

DarkGunslinger : I also like to read and play games when I have free time. I prefer the fantasy and sci-fi genre novels as reading materials, but I also enjoy mystery and murder, case solving genres. I like to put my wits and logic to the test, so I also enjoy puzzles, although these aren't quite as common in the real world as in Professor Layton.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been announced at E3 this year, and is to follow the events of MGS: Peacewalker. As you may already know, or not, MGS3: Snake Eater and it's chronological sequel MGS: Peacewalker both (light spoiler for newbies to MGS)
MGS V: The Phantom Pain intends to be a chronological sequel to MGS: Peacewalker. What are your first impressions on the game concept and/or story, or your expectations towards it? More info can be found @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_V:_The_Phantom_Pain

I personally think MGS5 is going to be beneficial to Big Boss' characterization, which seems lacking considering the image conveyed of him by discussions occurring in MGS4. It is also a welcome return to the tactical espionage genre that made Metal Gear famous, although if it is merely a break of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, which let room to hope for a sequel. However, the news of the change in voice actor scares me. Snake's voice is a symbol, a landmark in the Metal Gear Solid series to which the fans refer to when thinking of Snake. What will Snake become without his serious, deep, smoker's tone? Or will the voice be virtually unchanged?

Please share your opinions and concerns as to the future of the Metal Gear series.
