What if it's for all three games in one? Maybe then it'd be worth it.

But Jesus H. Christ, 54 goddamned US dollars. Unless it's Sing dollars, in which case instead of being about Rm16o-odd for me, it'd be about 110-odd. Which is like groceries for a week, man.

...I'll wait for a sale.

But yeah, I don't really mind playing it on the iPad; there are a bunch of other rhythm games I've played, and I have no major issues with them on my iPad. I actually suspect I'll do better on the iPad than I will with my PSP. And at least they're keeping the honorifics.

I hope it's still voiced though, and that they have the anime eps.

But seriously, on the iOS platform? For that much? That's probably like the most expensive iOS game ever. Are they fucking insane?!

There is no doubt in my mind: virtual buttons will never be as precise as the real ones.

I disagree, I've had no issue with other iOS rhythm games. What worries me though is that Scamco Bandie seems to have chosen iOS due to the relative difficulty in pirating iOS apps.

And they forget that iOS gamers won't pay exorbitant rates.

This. The App Store usually works for 5 bucks games, not 55 ones. And it's clearly choosen to avoid piracy. If it was simply a way to test the waters the PSP/PSVita via PSN would have been the better choice (less development time) but those are known as very easy to pirate.

SCAMCO has left me with a very sour taste in my mouth ever since I made the mistake of buying Touch My Katamari for the Vita. I've never felt like a game was so tuned to nickel and dime buyers quite as much as that one. Absolutely atrocious.

Well I hope they don't sell well so they can realize their mistake.

The problem is that at the end of the day, everything boils down to how people interpret the situation; for an IRL example I'd point to the Battle of Ia Drang Valley; the US Commander believed that it was a validation of air cavalry doctrine, the Viet commander believed it showed the US lacked resolve, and General Westmoreland, the incompetant commander of US forces in Nam, believed it meant that he could meatgrinder the Vietnamese.

In this case, if they do not sell well, one of two interpretations will come to Scamco - either they realise they fucked themselves over and shot themselves in the foot by an iOS release, or, to save face, the execs will instead say that it "proves" there is no foreign market for their games, pls focus on Japan kthxbai.

Note that SEGA released Valkyria Chronicles to absolutely no marketing ever, and wrote off the series in the west claiming that nobody plays strategy RPGs. Which is a bit ironic - if they'd put out VC3 last year, it might have gotten caught up in the positive buzz from X-COM: Enemy Unknown (which didn't really have much conventional marketing, but was very effectively spread via word of mouth grassroots because even a casual gamer like me has heard of X-COM).

And suddenly the random feature of my xbmc throws me the episode where the girls do the Namasuka Sunday show. I was supposed to be working, not laughing like a maniac.

Boss: Hey why are you laughing?

*Watches that part. He laughs along.*

I have finally watched the whole series (Except Puchim@s.) and I really had a fun ride.(Though I was abit late in the party...)

VA Joke for now...

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19282227 - Chihaya singing Kotonoha.

http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19228857 - Haruka singing My Dearest! My Darling!

Both are originally from Koi Choco. (I sense bits of similarity between these 2 series for some reason.)

*Now re-watch Episode 4, 20(Especially this one.), 21 and 23*

Good cover but I may be a bit biased since I really enjoy Asami Imai's voice.

Gosh darn it, I forgot to reupload it to an image hosting site. Fix'd.

D60s are nice, are you just done with photography or getting a new one?

The Nikon D60 is actually pretty bad. It's the D40 body with a more crammed sensor (higher pixel count but more noise) and an auto cleaning system. I only got it since it cost just 20€ over the D40 that was sold out at the time. It doesn't do video either so I was thinking of selling it to buy a Nikon J1 instead.
