    Sounds great. If you don't mind my asking, is it an e-book or published the traditional way [agent, publishing house, etc.]?
  2. GU-11
    Never mind; just watched it.

    Can anyone post a link to ep.14, please?

    So all this is for a book you're writing? Cool. BTW, I'm also a fan of muntins/frames on a canopy, for aesthetic reasons. The VF-22S Sturmvogell 2 is one of my favorite Valk designs for that reason. Will your book be illustrated? It's a shame to let these designs go to waste.

    How many fragments did you have? I might as well try to get 99,999 damage that trophy while I'm at it. Still having fun with my third Deus Ex HR playthrough, but I'll revisit FFXIII-2 soon. Please don't tempt Toriyama.

    Me too. As a fellow owner of this awesome fig, I must recommend that you guys buy the upcoming BRS bike when it's released to make a complete collection.

    Transtech...now that could either be a discontinued Transformers line of toys, or the name of a cosmetic surgery clinic in Thailand catering to ladyboys.

    99,999 damage?! What freakishly godlike weapon were you using? DLC? I was about to try that triple SEN strategy later when I read your post. How on earth do you do that kind of damage on practically the most thick-skinned monster in the freaking game?

    Knight26, First off, very nice looking renders. I'm a little confused here. When I read the title, I thought this was a thread about that 80's cartoon of the same name. Apparently not. As I read the posts, you mention something about a book. Mind letting me in on what this thread's about?

    Not likely to happen, what with HG guarding the gates, and that's actually a good thing for once. But with RT...that's a different story. Hell, Bay might actually be HG's best chance so far of getting that LAM of theirs off the ground. Oh, and the space dinosaurs can revert back to their un-evolved forms when they remove some sort of device they usually wear. If memory serves me correctly, the leader's name is Allo, and true to his namesake, is a semi-humanoid alosaurus.

    Somehow, it seems unlikely. It's nothing more than a hunch, but I have a feeling they aren't really interested. They seem to be more preoccupied with the Prime line and the upcoming Generations FOC toys. Then again, adult collectibles have never been Hasbro's primary product to begin with, and these days they seem to be placing even more emphasis on the kiddie market.

    While the guy playing Shane is American, Rick is British, I think. He speaks in a non-American accent during interviews. Honestly, his is certainly not the worst imitation of an American accent I've heard. Jason Statham is worse in his Transporter movies.

    Money? He seems to have an uncanny ability to produce critically reviled reboots and bring in a larger crowd to the theater than generally better received shows. He's basically become the golden boy of Hollywood producers after what he did to for Transformers. They're bound to beg him to get involved in any other 80's show in hopes that it's make at least as much money as the TF franchise.

    Ah, I think I remember now. It's that place where the Goblins [boxer-looking things with the holes in their stomachs] are, right? The Adamantioses are a pain. I tried several times, and of the few times I actually killed one, I couldn't get any adamantites. Heheh, besides, those little squeals from Vanille was kind of irritating, but you really need her around when trying to take those damn overgrown turtles out. Strangely, I couldn't get Vanille's death to land most of the time. The only time I lucked out was when I fought the Ochu. Or was it Neochu? Anyway, the much tougher, um...`Chu. I guess either I got real lucky when I killed Cauis, or you were unlucky. I never bothered buffing Serah or the SEN. In fact, I didn't hit him with any attacks. During the last two-thirds of his HP, I basically just stayed in the medic role after sticking Poison and healed every time he hit. Can't recall if I got 5 stars, but I basically let the Poison do its work, and emphasized on staying alive. As for Long Gui, it got frustrating when my attacks hardly even put a dent on his HP bar without stagger--even his leg had massive HP. Got royally annoyed after getting the whole team killed when he used Ultima, and ignored him after that. BTW, thanks for the tip on the 3 SEN thing. I was toying around with the idea of trying that, but never bothered. maybe I'll try it again.
  15. GU-11
    I might have a solution for that. Start with Serah as a Saboteur and a pair her with a Sentinel monster. Keep casting Poison on him until it sticks, and then debuffs and/or Dispel. Switch to healer for Serah with a Sentinel monster if you and your pet SEN are low on HP, before reverting to SAB/SEN. Try to max out your SAB role to make it easier for Poison to stick. Yeah, it is much harder with the Paradox Scope activated, but by poisoning him, you don't have to deal with his chain break. BTW, he doesn't get any easier when you try to get the paradox ending in Dying World. It was the first time I was forced to use an Elixir. With Noel, though, I just went with Commando all the way, since he was completely maxed out, with 140+ fragments using Odinblade. Still, it was a very close fight. Damaging Caius isn't the real problem; it's that he deals so much damage back to Noel that I had a hard time dividing my turns between healing potions and hitting him as he regenerated. At a certain point, maybe around 1/4 to 1/3 of Caius' HP remaining, I had to use an elixir to fully heal, and bring the pain to him with Noel's special attack [don't recall the name.] Barely managed to take him down. FYI, the strategy of using Poison is something I read about from a walkthrough in Gamefaqs.

    Um, do we still get that scene where the chick [what's her name again?] does pushups topless? The trailer showed a cleverly edited scene of it. Just curious is all.

    It's been a while since I last played FFXIII; eventually got tired of the pointless post-game level grinding and futilely trying to upgrade my weapons. Was trying to get the wallpapers unlocked, but gave up after I got my hands on Deus Ex HR. In any case, Archeopolis...is that the garden-like place just before you enter the Cradle? I remember that's also a good place to get gil, but I;m not sure if you still need to re-enter it to respawn enemies post-game. I'd recommend switching Dragoon for Chichu. Sure he looks like a walnut/testicle, but properly leveled and infused, he's a killing machine. Green chocobo does have some advantages over Flanitor, but in a pinch, Flanitor's feral attack healing move [don't remember the name] will give you an instant and complete restoration of health. That move's saved me quite a few times when I was in a pinch. Presently, I'm still figuring how to take down Long Gui, and I've no delusions of trying to kill Yomi. Hell, I even got beat by Tonberry. Gonna have to search gamefaqs for strategies.

    I keep telling myself not to click the spoilers here, but one freaking episode a week is just too slow [FYI, local cable's only just aired the second episode, dammit].
  19. GU-11
    Wow, Bay's found another 80's franchise already. And he's not even done with the Transformers movies yet. I'm starting to believe he's the unspoken horseman of the apocalypse. Holding in his hand the self-written scripts of all your favorite childhood TV shows, he seeks to make a mockery of all your favorite childhood TV shows every two years on the 29th of June. So, what, it's Adult Alien Not-Ninja Lifeforms from Outer Space now? Good thing I wasn't really into TMNT as a kid.

    Caught a few eps of Beelzebub. Nice show to kill time with. Crapload of comedy, idiot delinquents, demon maid from hell...nice.

    FFXIII is a pain to do level grinding, thanks to that stupid cap they placed on the crystarium. Instead of making things challenging, it just annoyed me. Yeah, the Cradle has plenty of good enemies to grind. Biggest problem is that post-game, you have to re-enter the place every time for the enemies to respawn. I needed a ton of perfumes to sell for the gil to get weapons components--if I had known, I'd have hoarded a ton of it in my first playthrough. LOL! Yeah, it happens in certain games. It happens even in action games like Devil May Cry [the later ones, at least] or Dynasty Warriors 7--you're all leveled up and godlike, and you kill a boss with a mere couple of swipes, and then the game cuts to an FMV where you're leaning against your weapon in exhaustion.

    I've heard the same thing being said about the Bayverse TF movies. I'm probably the odd one out, but I think it's actually even more important to establish a form of realism in these movies to suspend the viewer's disbelief--well, mine, at least. The element of plausibility should always be there, in that IF there were a zombie apocalypse, this would be the way things would happen. The Walking Dead is a character-driven story that doesn't capitalize on action sequences, which IMO makes it important to keep the feel of the series more grounded. I don't really care about the Michonne character one way or the other, but that screencap just made me think of the RE movies. It felt out of place, like Mommar said.
  23. GU-11
    It would be wrong if you didn't.
  24. GU-11
    I'd like to see Predators versus Care Bears.

    I went for normal mode all the way. I notice that the key to killing bosses in FFXIII-2 is to hit them hard and fast. The longer the fight drags, the more annoying it gets when the bosses heal themselves and do all sorts of buffs and debuffs. As for healing monsters, IMO Flanitor reigns supreme. Sure his HP sucks, but infuse him with a couple of Pulse gladiators [sEN] for their HP+ 25%, and he's one of your best healers. His feral attack has proven to be a life saver time and time again. And yeah, raise is a good skill to learn for healer pets and human characters alike. The thing I totally adore about FFXIII-2 is that unlike the original game, they don't put a ceiling on your leveling. If a boss gives you trouble, just grind until you're strong enough. I remember taking almost 4 hours to defeat Orphan. Honestly, RPG fights shouldn't be a pain to complete. It's not like a fighting game where you can harness your skills through practice.
