The new legendary Diancie will get a Mega form too...but it's ability is still unknown according to serebii.net.
I kind of feel the same way as one of my friends about it (and I quote): "There are tons of pokemon that could've been better with a mega evolution and they waste it on a legendary that hasn't even been released yet." I'll concede to liking it for aesthetics, though
I'm pretty "meh" otherwise about the current mega evolution announcements, since Torchic's line was the only one I personally cared about (never mind the fact it would probably be banned from most battles).
I, however... am not quite sure how to feel about character redesigns, namely the protagonists, May in particular. Really hoping they'll retain character customization (and not have such... fantastic hair for all options) because it will annoy me to no end otherwise.

I personally hope to hear more about contests, if they do decide to bring them in, because I greatly loved the contest system in the original Hoenn games (I was a bit disappointed with how it was done in Sinnoh, it felt a bit watered down).

E3 2014 kicks off tomorrow with Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft's press conferences! Hopefully Microsoft doesn't piss off the public again, Sony has a good showing, and Nintendo announces some good Wii U stuff.

Well, well. Sableye really needed mega form and finally got one, but will it be enough to push it up a couple of tiers like Mawile's did? Looks like this one is going to be a bit more defensive hiding behind a gem like that.
"Y-You guys go on ahead. I'll just...er, give you moral support behind this gem, okay?"
Or how about "You got 20 rupees! Nice!"

Check out Mega Sableye here!

Well, I did it. I preordered Casting Voice for the download codes. Got myself a shirt while I was at it.

Also, it looks like you can see how well you can identify each voice actor's different voices on the main page. I'm not even going to try.

The only guy I recognized was this guy and his voice sample was just a grunt. I'd recognize it anywhere!

Ever had a game you adored as a child and then you pick it up now and you realize that the game is a mess? That's me and Sonic and the Secret Rings. Input Lag up the wazoo with MOTION CONTROLS in a game that REQUIRES that you be precise, going in reverse is a pain in the ass especially given that the game is on rails, there's NO FREEDOM, and the game is also pretty dull. Definitely one of the weaker entries in the series for me. If you want a Sonic game for the Wii, just get Colors.

Well, as part of my unpacking process (I moved in January, which probably goes to show I REALLY need to unpack faster) I've been slowly been bringing devices I've stockpiled over the years back online.

So I've been sitting down and playing things, while I wait around for other things to happen. (And money to fall from the sky, although that one's never going to happen.)

I'm pretty sure that I've got some sort of pattern here though.

PS2: Finally got that dusted off, and for some reason I've been finding myself playing Ring of Red. Terrible translations aside, I'm not sure what it is about the game that makes it so much fun. Maybe it's a military thing.

PSP: I've dug up the 2 PSPs and a PSP go I've kept around.

Now why would I do that? Mostly because the PSP Go is the only device that allows you to output to a screen natively while tethering it to a PS3 controller.

Unfortunately, to get the UMD games I own to play on the Go, I have to CFW the thing so I can copy my UMDs then load them up, but eh, Sony signed me a release allowing me to do that (as part of my work for the Classifications board) so I can sleep easy.

So what do I end up loading up?

Valkryia Chronicles 2 (I oddly enough own the JP AND the US versions, so I can actually manually make my own undub, although that process was bloody painful) and...
Valkryia Chronicles 3 (Own the JP E2, so I dumped that, and I found out that a fantranslated patch exists, and after some monkeying around, I got that working too)

... Am I just addicted to war games or something?

I was also wondering if anyone else would be interested in watching and otherwise providing advice? I tend to find I play better (or harder) when I stream and there's a bit of an audience. I guess old habits die hard...

Interesting selection. I'm especially intrigued by Ring of Red, being that the historical concept and tactical turn-based combat are strong suits to my liking, a fondness started by Vandal Hearts. This game seems evidently praised, so there's also that. The only thing is whether or not I can make time to actually watch a stream throughout. Oh, such complications~.

Say... more onto the PS2, have you gotten around to play Shadow of the Colossus? If not, then I deem it one hell of a gem; first and foremost, the concept and art direction is beautiful. The movement and climbing mechanics are also unwieldy, but far more realistic than any game I've played thus far -- it's a love and hate thing, yet it makes one feel human.

Finished Black Rock Shooter, stalled out on the 2nd playthrough.

Finished Zelda: Link Between Worlds.

Finished Tales of Graces F - had to faq it and drop down to Easy a few times.

Finished Ys I & II Chronicles, with much faqing and cursing.

Still debating what to play next... I need something that won't tire me out too much.

Well, Ring of Red (PAL) has this weird thing with its video output. I can stream it, but they did some REALLY funky stuff with the framerate. I think it likes switching between various framerating, and it confuses my scaling equipment a little bit.

I'm still open to streaming it, but there'll be times where the video will load late and you'd get a blank screen for a little while.

It requires planning, which means of course, I'm going to decimate the game. I don't know if anyone wants to watch me do that.

I've been asked to stream Valkryia Chronicles 3, so I don't know how interested people would be watching and asking questions about that.


As for Shadow of the Colossus, I wanted to pick up the PS3 remaster, although I finished the PS2 initial release (as part of work of course). I also had dinner with the composer at A night in Fantasia 2009 (Which was also the same event Takashi (sorry, spelling error) was at doing a live performance of Torani ni... with the Eminence Symphony Orchestra.

Ah, the joy of years gone past.

Sad thing is, that I normally commit to Atelier titles - I should pick up Atelier Rorona Plus (And Escha and Logy) in English, although I own both of them in Japanese because of expected destructive playthroughs, and I have to arrange for Shallie to be brought in next month... (Just the shipping, since I arranged for the pack to be paid for months ago)

Then there's the purchase of im@s DLC to schedule in. This month AND next month is going to be stupidly expensive, but I know why.

Yeah, I'm going to be spread thin for the next few months. Budgeting is a nice skill, but sometimes you really do wish it started raining money.

I recently acquired Grid Autosport, but have been lacking the energy to play it thanks to a messed up sleep schedule and work.

I decided to install my Super Nintendo and replay some old games I could never finish. And I beat Xardion and Super R-Type.
After that, I decided to try playing Castle of Shikigami III and finished on Normal Mode.
In Touhou series, I starting to play on 12.8 game.
And finished replaying Pokémon Colosseum and XD, and now I decided to play Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Well, I got more time to kill now.

I WOULD be more excited about Namco's newest game announced at this year's EVO, but the information was leaked this afternoon! Thanks, America Online!  >:(

For anyone that happens to indulge in the Madness Combat franchise, Michael "The" Swain and Matt "Krinkels" Jolly have officially begun the Kickstarter for Project Nexus 2. With the goal being $56,000 to the optimal mark of $140,000, the ambition is way up there~. I'll be backing, myself.

Pokémon is officially getting a fighting game made by the team behind Tekken called Pokken Tournament.

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/aug/26/pokken-tournament-announced-developed-tekken-team-heads-japanese-arcades-2015/

This is probably the first time I've ever been hyped for a new Pokémon game!
