So, Contact on DS. What's up with it? Is it good? Speak to me.

Supposedly, the story is actually very boring and poorly executed, with the Professor as a trumped up Navi. Also, the battles are just pointing at enemies again and again and praying for their death.

This is basically how I operate in day-to-day life.

I actually knew a guy who used to write down the names of people who crossed him on little pieces of paper, fold them over, and then put them in a drawer. This, he supposed, would cause them to die. I always wanted to know how full the drawer was but I didn't wanna end up in there myself.

I bought it, hopefully I get it soon. I'll post impressions when I find the time to play it in between all my PSUing.

That is the scariest thing I've ever read.

1. That is fucking awesome. I might start doing that,

2, That would make a great book.

The drawer came out on the other side of the wall where a hit man lived, who then proceeded to take out the names passed to him.

So he's not crazy, just highly suggestive.

I own the game and have been playing it for awhile between classes and such. I was going to make a new thread titled "Mochi is Love" with some full impressions, but I suffer from procrastination disease.

I will tell you this though, it's like your average Akitoshi Kawazu game but a bit more linear and less broken. Instead of gaining levels, you build up the character, Terry, stats. For example, attacking an enemy builds up your Attack stats. Getting hit builds up your HP and Defense stats. Moving around builds up your Moving Speed stats. You get the idea.

You get various costumes that gives Terry a specialized power or job. Knuckle Mole for example gives Terry the power of Earth and he can use earth magic. Chef allows him to cook food and other recovery medicines. The thief, alows him to pick locks and so on.

You can also use decals, which are like assesories in the FF games only if peel them off after you attach them to your character, they are gone for good. You'll collect a whole bunch of these from enemies or chests and you really don't know what they are for until you peel off their adhesive to place on Terry.

The game has some odd sense of humor, despite of what the story so far is just, old-school, going to new locale to locale, collecting the gems, and beating the game. Also the game doesn't really give you heavy hints on what to do next like current RPGs so it's pretty old school there.

Personally, I though it was worth the $30 I paid for as it seems to be a decent handheld RPG and I don't mind just messing around building my stats. Though I heard the game is short--around 12 hours. Ah well.

Death Note is gay. It'd be better as a Stephen King book.

If only I had a penny for every time I thought something would be better as book by Stephen King!

I haven't seen Death Note-- although Dache insists I must-- but merely writing the person's name down in order to kill them isn't quite as sinister, I think, as putting their name in a drawer. Just think of it-- an office desk full of papery gravestones.

What if you mixed that idea, with that penguin that lived in a refrigerator (forgot which anime) and so like you stick the note in the refrigerator and at midnight the penguin goes out and pulls a hit on that person?

That would be bitchin.

actually, I randomly picked up Death Note on a romp through Barns and Nobles. The series kicks ass.
