I probably just repeated the exact same stuff I said in an earlier post but oh well.



I also bought Goldeneye 007 and i've been awake for like 40 hours. Playtime is at a premium right now. I just haven't been inspired to get my Pokedex on.
It's a nice remake. Do you have either of the Mario Galaxies? Those are some of the most well-made games I've ever played.


i did the DS version of 007. i'm really impressed with how well they did an FPS on a handheld. I hate FPS's but I remember enjoying Goldeneye the first time around so took a chance on it while I decide if I want to buy MassEffect 2, DragonAge2, a PSP, or a 3Ds. (chances are I just end up playing FF Tactics over and don't get any)

I really didn't enjoy Galaxy at all, I never bought the second one. Outside of Cooking Mama, and Animal Crossing, I've been a tad disapointed in the Wii's lineup.

I traded an Eevee for another one of those last night. Then traded it for a tepig since I haven't had one of those yet. I also got a Blastoise. I always tell myself I'm only going to trade for 10-15min but I always keep looking for good trade partners for atleast an hour.

If you like FF Tactics, do yourself a favor and pick up a PSP with Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. Also FF Tactics on PSP is much better than the PS1 version.

My two priorities are going to be finding a Skitty and a Bulbasaur. I've never been a really great dualist, but my quirky little tricks tends to piss off really serious battlers. They challenge me and all their guys are all like shiney Legendary's and out pops my pathetic little Skitty. Skitty normalize/Primape Close Combat 1-2 punch has F'ed up more legendaries than I ever imagined, it has to be kind of embarrassing to lose to something like that.

Ha that sounds funny. I saw a youtube video of a guy beating someone with a magicarp, can't remember how he did it. Stat boosting then baton pass or something. I was offered a Bulbasaur once but haven't seen a Skitty.

People who use legendaries on non-all legendary battles are lame. Just destroys all strategy being used

Is there a thing at the end of this game like the last one where I can catch Squirtles and Psyducks and stuff? Palpark! is there one of those in this game?

Just finished my brother's rookie season on My Player. He helped the Wolves finish on a 9 game winning streak to close the season (37-45 overall), and was 2nd team all-rookie averaging 12 pts, 7 rebs. I was strongly considering returning to the Wolves for my sophomore campaign, but was offered a starting spot with the World Champion Boston Celtics so I had to take it. I also had offers from New Orleans and Philadelphia.

Calrissian, did you pick up that Sega Genesis Collection?

I just finished Shining In The Darkness, classic dungeon crawl RPG. Still pretty fun.

Not yet. I've been playing so much pokemon that I haven't really thought about my ps3 lately.

Not sure about that. I got a bulbasaur and a skitty(normalize) you can have. I just need help evolving my porygon and maybe a poliwhirl. I need to get the items for porygon to hold first tho.

I beat the 8 gyms and can only remember 1 of them. They were all way too easy and I wasn't overleveled either. I wish I could transfer some of the pokemon I have on this version to Heart Gold.

I believe there is a pokemon transfer place in one of the aftergame cities. I haven't beaten it yet though so I don't know for sure

I think you can only transfer to b/w and not from b/w. I hope I'm wrong tho.

Phantasy Stars are the gem here. these blow away anything Final Fantasy had put out at the time, and most of their current titles too.

I just finished that bug forest place after Team Rocket stole the thinger from the gym. I'm really hoping that the pokemon diversify a lot quicker after this. It seems you find one or two new guys at each town that you almost have to catch to beat the gym easily, its really ruins any strategizing you'd need to do since its quite obvious your new pokemon is going to absolutely rule anything you see in the gym.

Batman game looks sick.
In that video of 2K11, how do you get that thing says your timing to show up ? (red or green thing)
Love all the Pokemon love, havent played any new games but occasionaly will whip out the old school gameboy and classic red or blue.
