Those are all awesome 3DS games you got. I got the CEs of Bravely Default and Project X Zone.

Nice. What was in the CE's of them?

Any other suggestions for 3DS or DS games?

Here's the BD CE

Dude, that is freaking badass.

The X-Zone CE wasn't spectacular, just a soundtrack CD, a small artbook, and a poster. But since at the time it didn't cost any more than a bog-standard version I jumped on it. I like that game since I liked a lot of the game franchises that made cameos in it.

Other suggestions? I believe you already have Fire Emblem? My personal favorite is Zelda: A Link between Worlds. The Etrian Odyssey games (first-person dungeon crawlers), and Virtue's Last Reward are good, and those are the ones I think you might like.

Bravely Default might piss you off in chapters 5, 6 and 7 but maybe not if you actually undertake some of the skippable boss battles and secret stuff. I didn't find out about most of it until my son played it and was telling me about shit that I didn't experience. 

For me the best part of the game is the multi-part final battles. A lot of the story is wrapped up as you fight through the battles and some of the stuff that happens is really cool.

I watched Supernatural for about 5 seasons before losing track of it. I'm not sure why I stopped. It was always good fun. I see bits of new episodes now and then but I don't know WTF is going on so I wind up putting on something else.

Just finished American Gods and it's a shame that you can't get it in Oz because I think you'd like it.

I'm reading The Halloween Man right now. I wound up with a shitload of digital books on my reader that were either free or 99 cents. I haven't read this much in years. 

Yeah I heard about those chapters of Bravely Default. I don't know, how bad are they?

 And yeah, I can get American Gods, just not on the Humble Bundle for some reason.

Let's just say that they're pretty repetitive if you only do that which is required to move to the next chapter. There's missable shit you can do if you want though.

Ok, I thought it was one of those Australian ban things. It's got the word American in it, sorry mate, not in Australia y'dont. :)

I don't think we've ever had books banned here. Not recently anyway. It could just be that that edition is made for specific regions or whatever. There's no content in it you'd find bannable haha?

Some minor disturbing things and a brief but graphic description of gay oral sex. Nothing as extended and graphic as GoT though.

Fair enough. Well now I'm sold on the book ;)

dude, I hate to ruin your idea of history, but Jesus didn't use a samurai sword. He used nunchuks.    

Actually we're both wrong. He used fish:

 Seriously, if you have't watched this, check it out, you'll have a giggle.

Absol is fucking awesome. I always name mine Absolutely. As for Castlevania, Dawn of Sorrow is the must buy (one of my all time favorites). Best castle, soul collecting fits in fantastically with the gameplay. Only downside is you have to beat bosses by drawing shit after which was stupid. With the other two, I personally prefer Portrait of Ruin for it's world and fantastic post game content but Order of Ecclesia really does something different If you'd rather have that.

Absol looks awesome! But I can't catch one!

 And yeah, I heard Dawn of Sorrow is awesome except for the drawing. How annoying is it?

 And yeah, I've heard some people say Portrait of Ruin is amazing, and other people criticise it for being derivative. A lot of people seem to think it's the weakest, with either OoE or DoS coming out on time.

Have the stylus in your hand during evey boss and practice every new seal you get and it's not so bad.

Still sounds shit. How precise is it? I have shakey hands is all.

It's precise enough once you get used to the calibrations. I have shaky hands too and didn't think it was that bad.

I'd rank OoE as the worst, but that's because I like its combat a lot less and prefer the giant castle to the segmented areas.

I heard it was a giant segment later, after the mission based stuff early on? Maybe I read wrong or something, is it all level based?

I feel for you, man.  Those game prices are crazy. 

I played a bit of Bravely Default and it was boring.  I figured I'd go back to it when I had the time.  I've heard other people say it picks up too.

Indeed, they are.

 And yeah, I can understand that. I played a bit of it and was like meh and played other things. Now I've come back to it and I'm hooked!

You look less 14 than I do, so there's that. I also have a super-short haircut now. Luckily, I at least have some stubble.

I find super short haircuts often make you look older. They do for me anyway haha.

I gotta check out the Malazan series.  I don't mind being dropped right into the world...it always ends up being more badass in my own mind anyway, same with GoT.

I know exactly how you feel when it comes to shaving...two or three times a year I'll go clean-shaven, and it feels like I'm looking at another person in the mirror.

Fair enough. Some people just find that it can take a long time to work out who the armies are and what they're fighting for. Game of Thrones has a gentler introduction, I found, though this is still not as offputting as many have said, and has plenty of action, intrigue, and even bits of comedy to keep you interested.

 And yeah, it was kind of disappointing for me, as the beard took so long to grow. It's growing back a lot quicker this time though! Also, I have no idea what you look like, so in my head you are now Grizzley Adams.

If you play Dawn of Sorrow, which is superb, you're going to want to play Portrait of Ruin, And when you're done with that, you're going to want to play Order of Ecclesia. And when you're done with that, you're going to be sad because Castlevania is dead.

But you asked for 2, so I....no, I can't do it.  Get all 3 or GTFO! 

Yeah, but getting all 3 is like 60 bucks. I suppose I could get them all...

Now you got me interested in that book series.

If you want a 3DS rec, I think the remake of the first Etrian Oddysey might be great for you if you like dungeon crawling. I haven't given the game much time, but I did like what i've played of it. I may start again though, just because i'm afraid to get lost if I jump back where I left.

I've been looking for the Etrian games, but I can't find them around here! I'll have to go with Amazon or something.

You always say I never comment so here I am trying to improve relations with the well Blake sorry cant say your sexy I like women ha ha nice collection of games and glad you got your pc running again now if I could just get you to get a ps3 or 360 I could add ya on my freinds list.

I have a 360, I just refuse to pay money to go online with it. Also, I don't remember saying that lol.

I dont have Gold on my 360 either send me a freinds request so I can spy on ya lol!! LEERADICAL42

Haha. Sorry man, I never take my 360 online, like ever. I did with my PS3 for a bit. These days with limited internet though I can't even game online on my pc unless it's something that's not intensive like Hearthstone.

Ahhh you live in the stix huh lol!!

I used to love the flying castles thing in the Elric series by Michael Moorcock. I still do I guess. 

Can't say I've ever read them, though flying castles are always awesoem :D

I was so obsessed with this series back in High School. Elric jumps in a castle tower that moves randomly through the dimensions. Kinda like a Dr. Who story now that I think of it.

Did you finish Bravely Default? It's on my wishlist, but I've heard people say the final act is horrible. Having to replay multiple previously encountered dungeons in a row isn't that appealling.

I've been meaning to get into Pokemon, but don't really know WTF to even begin.

I didn't, but I want to. The repeating sections have people divided, but they are interested.

 Just start with the newest one. It's good, it's fun, and you don't need to play any to get into it.
