I just got Dynasty Warriors 8 yesterday and… It is way more awesome than I thought it would be. But… Gotta do somethin’.

1) Yeah! Gotta let it go! Not like we didn’t pay for it! Although that scorch mark did take a while to grow back.

Not in Ponyville. And Canterlot doesn’t need anything like that. They just use magic. Places like Trottingham and Manehatten probably use snow blowers.

2) It was some third party thing that had partitioned save slots you could switch around by pressing buttons on the device itself. When it corrupted the data it erased everything, but it happened while I was playing Legend of Mana so I at least resaved that. Small consolation. I played the original Digimon World. That game was so crazy. Eating porta-potties.

And yeah. I don’t like hardcore games. EVE was a nightmare. My gaming buddy has a huge story she could tell you that basically ends with her quitting because she inadvertently started a war between two corporations and one of them had a silent hit on her.

But that’s entirely the point. No death runs aren’t much of an accomplishment. It just took practice and learning the appropriate sequence. Most of the trouble you have in Contra is when you stop moving. Once you know where everything is the boss fights are all you have to worry about. And I had a good sequence for X2, but all I can remember right now is to start with Wheel Gator. Hardest part was getting the secret weapon, because if you mistime either slide you hit a spike and insta-die. That’s a painful way to end a run. Still managed to do it twice, though.

I don’t really do stuff like that anymore. There’s so much to play; not much point in wasting time on pretend limitations and replaying identical content.

3) Sure. Sure. Have Redbox too, but good luck finding any in Ponyville.

Yar har fiddle-dee-dee. Should it still be considered piracy when it can’t be found any other way?
