Kind of. Xenogears was the 5th episode in some long story that the creators had written up when they worked at Square, but Xenosaga was supposed to be a different story. They published a book in Japan that detailed what the other 5 episodes of Xenogears would've been like, and 1,2, and 3 don' t match up with what happened in XS.

I suspected no less :fridge:

Does anyone know if there's something soon to be announced or coming out with Apple? I was mulling over the idea of getting an iPhone 3G with that Best Buy deal but ionno :/

June 8(?) is Apple's WWDC. Expect the new iPhone to be announced that day during the keynote speech.

Don't get an iPhone until the newest version is announced.

Also Rei, prepare some music to listen to during the gameplay portions of episode 2. They brought in Shinji Hosoe, and his stuff is pretty grating. Kajiura does a pretty good job in 3 though.[/QUOTE]
I got to meet Yuki Kajiura at Anime Boston last weekend. It was awesome.

Eh. I'm trying to score a 16GB for $150 once AT&T stops fucking up my case. I can settle for that over a new one for twice as much.

I think.

Rumor is the newest iPhones will be 16GB for $200 and 32GB for $300.

A 3G 16GB For $50 less than the new one?

Wait it out.

Sound good. It just sucks that their plans are crap :/

Yeah, the plans ARE overpriced.

I had a cell plan that included unlimited data/text/messaging and 500 minutes for $35/month before the iPhone.

I pay $50 more a month now, but the iPhone makes the $ difference unimportant.

Their plans are about standard with any other carrier I've ever used. $40 bucks for 400 or so minutes.
 
Speaking of iPhones, here's my new lock screen.
Inspired by Zew.

The best way to go with an iPhone (all IMO) is to get a used 2G and then hack away. Before my JesusPhone's screen died, I had it cracked to version 2.0. That means third-party apps AND Apple Store access, and the ability to use any carrier.

I was using T-Mobile on it; my plan is $60 dollars a month for unlimited minutes and text. AT&T can't even come close to touching that.
 
[quote name='manthing']Where did that come from?[/QUOTE]Really old battery thingy I found back when Cydia first came out. I think it's simply called "Zelda Battery". It's nice, half-hearts and all.

[quote name='tiredfornow']oh, you.

:D
 
I just got that zelda battery and signals thing. The hearts really do drop with the signal! Neato mosquito. I kind of really hate all the stupid themes that are up because most of 'em look like absolute shit and not all apps are supported by them so you have a bunch of weird looking icons and then a bunch of normal app icons. #-o

Sero, or whatever it was, sounded like a hell of a deal compared to everything else. However, they won't even give you Sero anymore, no?

Sorta?

Now SERO is Simply Everything and the old $30 SERO plan is a $60 SE plan.

One difference between SERO and SE is that SE includes the Blackberry email plan, which was $30 add-on under SERO.

Yeah, I dislike 99% of them because how ugly they are, or clash in some way.

The one manthing posted up there is nice and detailed, but I wouldn't use it.
If you know where to download it from (since i guess it's not on Cydia) then I can show you how to put it on your phone.

I had to do that for this blue gameboy theme.
(example)

It came with the photoshop files so you could make your own icons for the ones that weren't supported.
I did that for a few but I suck at pixel art and took me too long.

I just use the default look, but with the gray dock gone.
 
Thanks, Jim I put it in my queue.

And I'm still annoyed @ Sony for not linking PSN on the web with PSN on the console yet. They spend too much time @HOME.

I feel twelve yrs old with a shitty background and shitty icons all over my phone.
 
Dude the new Fight Night (or at least in the demo) no longer supports the option to use the buttons. I only played R3 in type 4, so I'm pretty damn disappointed.

Demo doesnt have it, but the full game does. Silly, i know.

Sounds interesting. Is there like a tutorial somewhere that goes into detail on how to pull this off or is it actually that simple?
 
That looks sweet, but then again I have a huge weakness for Mario Kart styled games. Who did everyone notice in the trailer? I'm not very perceptive so I only noticed Samba De Amigo, Tails, Eggman and Sonic.

Just curious who the other Sega All-Stars are. Guessing it'll be similar to that tennis game, with characters like Nights, Ai Ai and etc playable. Zombie from the HotD would be bad-ass.
 
Infamous is fantastic. It is pretty much Crackdown combined with Sly Cooper, but somehow feels more polished than crackdown, and more expanded gameplay than Sly.

Prototype has a lot to live up to(although I feel like it will be more action oriented than Infamous).

On a slightly unrelated note: Hulk: Ultimate Destruction was pretty awesome when it came out.
 
I just want Ulala to be in it, Jack from Mad World, some Valkryie Chronicles characters just for some wtf moments, and whatnot.

also getting crimson gem saga from gamefly. I need a new RPG to play that isn't too demanding or complicated and Saga seems like the perfect fit.
