What have people heard about Aion? I want to know if this is worth my time/money, or if I'll be spooling up WoW again within the week.

So I've taken a break from Beyond Good and Evil to rant a little bit. As much as I love this game and all, do you ever get out of this stupid factory!? Jesus to god I've spent so long in here. It's making me sooo mad! >:o Poor Pey'j he got kidnapped! Is it true that you don't get him back for a really long time? Like most of the game?
I kind of need help too. I'm at the part right after you go up the blue portal thing, I'm not sure how to describe what it is but I just got up there and now there's two guards. I'm not sure how to get past them. I know if you hit one in the air tank, he gets hurt and the other runs over, but I don't know how to get past them when I do that! Thanks!

A while back, someone made a post about sites like Backloggery.com, but I've looked and can't find the entry. What other sites are good for listing your game collection. I joined one of the others sites someone mentioned but I can't remember the URL for it!

EDIT: Also, the one I'm thinking of let you say if you had the manual and case and stuff, if that helps.

EDIT Part 2: I think this is what I'm looking for: http://www.rfgeneration.com/ Maybe.. but my log-in doesn't work so I might still to keep hunting.

Where I can find Final Fantasy FMVs really in high definition? I was thinking about doing a DVD with all CG movies from the series since the VII episode till XIII, and Dirge of Cerberus, and I am looking for Revenant Wings FMV too...

After storming my way through Resident Evil 5, I've got five games in front of me that're ripe for achievement boosting....

Hitman: Blood Money (435/1000)
Fallout 3 w/The Pitt and Operation: Anchorage (680/1000) (haven't installed the expansions yet)
The Orange Box (95/1000) (This one will most likely take a while...)
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (540/1000)
Ninja Gaiden 2 (270/1000)

Which one should I do first...?

Alternatively, I could just start up Mercenaries mode on Resident Evil 5, maybe completing S Ranks on Veteran and Professional. (Yes, the game really is that addictive.)

Okay, so after years of watching my friends play FFXI, I'm finally really into it and I was wondering if there were any linkshells on Gilgamesh that people have devoted purely to RP-ing their characters as characters rather than their little "let's run around and kill things" avatars? I just... want to be somewhat in character while I'm running around at three in the morning. I think it would be fun. If you're willing to let a gal in, please do drop me a line?

Anybody used to have the Sega game Michael Jackson's Moonwalker?

Anybody regret not having kept it since it's on eBay for more than you originally bought it for?

My boyfriend told me that one sold for like $250. And one was up for quite a bit more.

I sure do miss that game, though. I miss saving Annie and dancing with criminals and using magic to fight them with. Oh, and grabbing your crotch of course.

My brother just got The COnduit for Wii today. Totally psyched about it. I start out playing and whoa, dizzy. MY brother takes over. 5 minutes of watching and uh oh...I'm nauseous. reaaaaaaaallly nauseous. It reminded me of watching Cloverfield I couldn't take any more than 30 minutes of that movie. Good thing I only spent a dollar to get in. Anyways, anyone else played the conduit and gotten headachey or dizzy off of it? 

Specifically those who have Guitar Hero: World Tour.

Somehow, my brother changed the colors of the fret keys that show up during gameplay, so instead of the usual red, yellow, etc., they are black. He tells me achieved his by entering in some sort of cheat, and I was wondering if there is any way to reverse this, as I currently am living with someone who has never played the game before and is having a terrible time trying to learn how to play without the color-coding. Any help, please?

Y'know, I miss Dino Crisis.

While looking this game up to see if there were any remakes ala Resident Evil, I noticed that the third installment was made for the XBOX. Has anyone played it? Is it any good?

I built this costume to follow up my award-winning 2006 WoW Warlock costume.. and then wasn't able to get tickets two years in a row for Blizzcon. grrr.

Well, now I'm faced with financial woes, and I have to part with it. I'm hoping someone out there will love it, buy it, take it to a Con and win some contests!

Here is a link with all the info, you can Email me through it as well. Right now I'm accepting offers.. Please look at the linked PDF to see what kind of extensive work went into it.

Thanks for your time!

It was Japanese culture night at safeco field for the mariners game, and some sakura con members were going to represent. So we went as Marios and Luigis! Thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Through my work, I have acces to several databases with scientific literature, like Elsevier's ScienceDirect. Today I spent some time looking for interesting articles about gaming addiction. While the articles that only ecourage the panic and ignorance around the subject of gaming addiction seem to get a lot of attention in the media, I find it odd that articles like this one below, that explain a lot about the nature of gaming addiction, are somehow ignored.

This is an abstract of an article from European Psychiatry, volume 23, issue 8, pages 212-218, 2008.

I'm not into alliance, but some of them aren't so bad.

I'm looking for someplace online to buy tiny dice from (not d6s, I can get those at craft stores--I'm looking for any other X-sided dice). And by tiny, I mean smaller than your average dice, as I wish to use them for jewelry. Does anyone know of any such sites?
I stumbled across one AGES ago but I can't seem to find it, or anything else that has the tiny dice.

I'm desperate for a new RPG for my 360. After seeing some gameplay footage, I am highly considering Lost Odyssey. It looks like such a gorgeous game.

Is it worth buying? I'd like to hear some opinions on it first.

I also want to know if it's as tough as some people have been saying it is. I'm not a fan of needlessly frustrating games.

I'm selling Bioshock for PC on ebay if anyone is interested. I really really want to play the game but it's not compatible with my graphics card even after patching (couldn't return it because it was a gift and I didn't have time to try it until several months after I got it). Condition is like new and the proceeds will be used to help get me Bioshock for the 360 :D

I fell behind in gaming for a few years.. and I miss it dearly.  I have maintained my status as a gamer via casual gaming on the DS and Wii and Guild Wars for PC, but I'm considering getting either PS3 or a 360 in September (Oh yes.. my student loan will be spent wisely!) to work my way back into gaming as a more regular part of my lifestyle.

If you asked me two months ago which I would get, I would have said PS3 in a heartbeat, because I figured the 360 technology was going to be up for discussion soon and that they would already be planning a release for the next Microsoft console.  However, with E3's reveal of Project Natal, my opinion is now changing.  It seems to me that Project Natal will become the focus, but since it will still require a 360... there will not be a new console yet for at least a few more years.  For me, based on the comparison of already available titles to choose from... the online networking... and price difference... XBOX360 seems to be the best choice.  I am aware of a potential price drop from Sony before the end of summer, but I am inclined to think Microsoft will follow suit with the Elite.

I am curious to know what members here think of Project Natal... and if you believe that its launch will push back the need for a new Microsoft console.  I would just hate to shell out $600 for a new console and all the fixens, only to have it become a paperweight the following year.

I'm looking for a free multiplayer online game that would be easy to pick up and put down. My boyfriend and his friends have been playing this super cutesy Korean golf game buuuuuut I want something with a little more action/interaction than golf. Avatar options are a plus and they love cutesy anime style stuff. It's fine if we have to download something.

I ended up finding this:
http://www.cuteflashgames.com/

but uhh... there's a section for "Girl Games" that his all the stereotypes.

Not looking for anything massively multiplayer--just a little game we can get a few friends on.
