Guilty Gear and Blaz Blue seem really cool but also really complicated. I don't know that I'd enjoy something like that all that much. I guess it couldn't hurt to give them a try.
For some cool doujin fighters, you might want to try Vanguard Princess or Yatagarasu. Vanguard Princess is local multiplayer only, but it's easy to pick up and get into. It is also brilliantly animated with lots of anime girls to choose from.

Yatagarasu was made by some former King of Fighters developers and is an impressive fast paced fighter with similarities to KoF.

A lot of people also like Skull Girls, which I haven't played yet, but I do have my eye on it.

I think I'd probably collect games again if I had more money and time than I knew what to do with, and also a house with a room I could just dedicate to games and books and movies. Kinda want my own private library of sorts. That's not happening any time soon. Really have the hankering to play some PS1 right now. Just like Symphony of the Night or something. When did all these rather common games become expensive? I'm going to save myself the heart attack of looking at what Saturn games cost these days. Lord knows I'm not going to own that money pit again unless I learn Japanese and do imports.

Emulators are pretty great these days though.

I think Sony, at least with how the PS4 is currently going, should continue to make the PlayStation 3 for years and years and just keep cutting that price and hopefully get it to about $100. I know Sony seems to think PSNow will be a replacement for the PS3 PSN's selection of PS1, 2, and 3 titles but the internet infrastructure just isn't there yet and I don't think it'll be anywhere close to good enough to be useful for several years.

Phoenix Wright is awesome.

Monster Hunter FU on iPhone continues to take most of my free time.

Bastion is grossly overrated but the music is cool so I'll probably beat it for that reason alone.

Shovel Knight is everything I love about retro games but in widescreen and it works with my Saturn controller so it's pretty much perfect at doing what it does.

Hearthstone is going to become a horrible addiction once I have a solid online connection.

Now I'm off to bed.

I've never looked into it, but I always thought it had something to do with fishing. I mean we all know the Japanese love fishing. So a "dream cast" would be a fishing cast where you caught a dream catch.

It works in my head but I'm probably wrong.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

Specs came out for GTA V on PC. My year and a half old PC is more than capable of playing it. Hooray!

min specs are a quad-core. Seeing as how I've been waiting for this to hit PC, it's a damn good thing that I'm buying a new CPU this month anyway. 8)
Today, you can find out, as Rockstar has finally released the game's system requirements ahead of a now delayed 24 March release.
delayed to March???? NOOOOOOO!

Yeah but with it comes the on-line heists they say. I will take the set back if it means implementing on-line heists. Can't wait to play with everyone on the PC!

Man! March 24th.

I wonder why such the delay in general.

Damn, the heists aren't coming until March? I've been playing the hell out of the PS3 version the last month or two. I didn't think it"d be so addictive.
