Between being sick and my first week back at school, I haven’t played much of anything this week, and no XG.

Sorry guys. Looks like I’m well behind now. Ginia might still be ahead, though.

I’m going, put a few hours in last night. I’m still dreadfully behind, but now Xenogears is the only game I’m currently playing, so I should start clipping along much faster. One of the problems I’m having is that I frequently play the game right before bed and all the text puts me to sleep pretty quick X_X. Not through fault of the text itself, reading has just always done that to me.

Fucking Chu Chu is a horrible little shitturd.

And unfortunately if you want the last battle to be easy, you need to use her.

-Chu chu never gets better.

-Darth seems to have had a similar response to the translation as myself. It gets a little bit looser later on (right about the time that the plot is heating up).

Well, I know I’m a little behind, but I just made it through the Margie-rescue sequence. Glad I figured out how combos worked almost immediately before the Ramsus battles, otherwise I would have had a really difficult time. Also, I agree with Lusi, chu-chu’s been on screen for maybe 2 minutes and already I’m irritated with it. Please tell me she gets less intolerable (seriously? They can’t enter the bridge because a stuffed animal’s in the way? Kick it out of the way and then go save, you twats!)

Also, the translation’s getting more and more quirky. There have been a few lines where I had to pause for a moment to try to figure out what characters meant.

Also, knowing our luck, Xenogears will be available on PSN less than a week after the site playthrough’s finished.

@SN: I AM A HAM OF THE SEA!

Seriously though. Why the Thames? It’s a river, not a sea. Why not the Caspian, or the Baltic, or the Adriatic?

Pfui!

All people from Latin America have green skin and orange hair.

Tonight’s notes.

- I am constantly amazed at the action sequences in this game. The ‘sinking’ of the Yggdrasil and the subsequent exterior encounters between Bart, Ramsus, &c., are all splendid stuff. I am astonished that no one has had the bad taste to make a movie of this yet.

- One of the four battlers in the D Block prison is named Leonardo. Not naming the other three Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo was a chance squandered.

- Rico. Really? Your name is Rico? No, your name is BLANKA.
