pestered a friend who's visiting Japan to go to Akihabara and buy me random Game Boy cartridges.

Speaking of awesome concerts, Big Star had an awesome performance in Cambridge back '74. The setlist is great, and includes beautiful covers of Velvet Underground's "Candy Says" and Loudon Wainwright III's "Motel Blues".

If you don't already listen to Big Star this is more than enough reason to start.

I love Elliott Smith, he's definitely my favorite songwriter -- I have the New Moon t-shirt to prove it. I'm working on a "Biggest Lie" cover at the moment.

Here's an amazing concert he did in Sweden (with a 'Thirteen' cover, even!), if you guys dig it I'd definitely recommend his discography:

EDIT: Answer to pop quiz... I'd have to say his self titled. He has wonderful compositions for his later work, but I love how intimate those songs are. Roman Candle is in a similar vein but not as strong as his self-titled. XO would probably be a close second, followed by Either/Or. I love all of his stuff, regardless.

all i want now, is happiness for you and me

he brought a lot of energy to his performance tho. on that note, 80's iggy pop would have awesome for the role.

Saccharine Trust is like bizarro-world Wipers, but they rock just as hard as Greg Sage

Also, Heath Ledger wasn't that great as the Joker.

woah woah woah girlfriend

you didn't just go there

Just drop me a message whenever you want me to inspect/critique it. 

This looks really awesome man, keep it up! 

just wrote my intro paragraph for a review re: pokemon creepypastas, and the games inspired by them.

bento: let's all take a moment of silence for all lost frogs, crushed by the gluttony of hungry men.

Bee Mic, duly noted.

i'm really hungry for a baguette right now

[one time]

but icycalm says it all the time, and icycalm is never wrong
those several hundred times were either from icybalm or his supporters, everybody else only uses it sparingly for satirical purposes
 
and for the record i only made out with a dude one time, and i was stoned.

Οὐδὲ γάρ που, ὦ Ἀδείμαντε, σχολὴ τῷ γε ὡς ἀληθῶς πρὸς τοῖς οἶσι τὴν διάνοιαν ἔχοντι κάτω βλέπειν εἰς ἀνθρώπων πραγματείας. καὶ μαχόμενον αὐτοῖς φθόνου τε καὶ δυσμενείας ἐμπίπλασθαι, ἀλλ' εἰς τεταγμένα ἅττα καὶ κατὰ ταῦτὰ ἀεὶ ἔχοντα ὁρῶντας καὶ θεωμένους οὔτ' ἀδικοῦντα οὔτ' ἀδικούμενα ὑπ' ἀλλήλων, κόσμῳ δὲ πάντα καὶ κατὰ λόγον ἔχοντα, ταῦτα μιμεῖσθαί τε καὶ ὅ τι μάλιστα ἀφομοιοῦσθαι. ἤ οἴει τινὰ μηχανὴν εἶναι, ὅτῳ τις ὁμιλεῖ ἀγάμενος, μὴ μιμεῖσθαι ἐκεῖνο; Ἀδύνατον, ἔφη. Θείῳ δὴ καὶ κοσμίῳ ὅ γε φιλόσοφος ὁμιλῶν κόσμιός τε καὶ θεῖος εἰς δυνατὸν ἀνθρώπῳ γίγνεται. διαβολὴ δ' ἐν πᾶσι πολλή. Παντάπασι μὲν οὖν. Ἄν οὖν τις, εἶπον, αὐτῳ ἀνάγκη γένεται ἅ ἐκεῖ ὁρᾷ μελετῆσαι εἰς ἀνθρώπων ἤθη καὶ ἰδίᾳ καὶ δημοσίᾳ τίθεναι, καὶ μὴ μόνον ἑαυτὸν πλάττειν, ἆρα κακὸν δημιουργὸν αὐτὸν οἴει γενήσεσθαι σωφροσύνης τε καὶ δικαιοσύνης καὶ ξυμπάσης τῆς δημοτικῆς ἀρετῆς; Ἥκιστά γε, ἧ δ' ὅς.

in conclusion, you are a fagot

this is fun stuff, the final boss was a bit too arbitrary for my liking. you totally made up for it with your Nintendo Power Counselor Corner bit, though. =)

this. from the ages of 3-12 i lost countless hours of sleep playing handheld games at obscenely late hours of the night.

just posting to keep abreast of future updates, and to say this is awesome.

i'd play the hell out of this rpg, i'm glad you're focusing on the combat system and not on needless grinding. if you want i could proofread your script -- lucid dreaming is a fetish of mine, and while i'm pretty haphazard on these fawrums i'm a stickler for grammar.
