From The Forum: Consoles as Weapons

Hey look, a totally irregular new feature. I was going to call it "Forum Quote of the Indeterminate-Time-Period", but it was too long a name. In the Nintendo DSi topic, Extreme Ironing wrote: I wish videogame consoles could still be used as weapons and remain fit for their purpose afterwards. You chuck a 360 at a guy, sure, it's gonna…

Normal service is resumed

The Broadband is installed and working! Forum spambot deletion and weekly LOLcat posting will resume. I may even do some more blog posts, if you're lucky. No Xbox Live just yet though, as the main "internet" is downstairs, and we're connecting to it on our PC upstairs via a Wireless USB thingy. We just need to drill some holes in…

The Winter Carnival

Starts today! I'm hoping to get lots of nice new red things... But my list is a lot shorter than it would've been if we'd have had the updates in the correct order! We've already had two Guardians Boost Roads (Neudaiz and Parum) which featured tonnes of level 150+ enemies; This event has hardly any level 150+ enemies. Still, I'll…

The Great Gurhalian Cup: Weekends not permitted

In an unforseen twist, we have removed ourselves from the Great Gurhalian Cup Time Attack Tournament. The alarm bells started ringing earlier in the week when Marcface's Xbox decided to die. He has since bought a new one, but at first that looked to be the reason we'd have to leave. But then, for some reason the scheduling became incredibly…

First round – Gacha Rinsing Co. vs Napping Ninjas

After a good few practise runs and a little Zalure levelling session, the time to race had come. We arrived in Universe 7 to find the opposition and the Game Masters already waiting for us. After a little explanation of pertinent rules, a few connection hiccups with the other teams leader and a healthy dose of Male Event Pose 5 (our Haka, if you will), we were off.

Despite being the first into the counter, I was the last into the actual mission and I spent a good deal of the first block playing catch up with my buffing duties. Throughout the entire mission I did feel a little like a fifth wheel but I think that my support will come into it’s own on a harder mission where buffs and Giresta will be required. According to Ruby Eclipse (the GM who accompanied us to make sure there were no underhand tactics) both teams were within 8 seconds of each other at the end of block 2…

Great Gurhalian Cup – A Time Attack Tourney

Great Gurhalian Cup – A Time Attack Tourney

With the recent dearth of content, the GM team of Phantasy Star Universe have organised a Time Attack Tournament, and we've entered a team! It'll be Donk as team leader, myself, UltrosSiri, Marctastic and Moodmon. I think we'll do quite well. This is the initial draw We're "Gacha Rinsing Co", tenth from bottom, and we're going up against Napping Ninjas…

Project tokkybot is over

Current character level: 44 Current class and level: Fortegunner 6 And that's the final standings. I don't think there's anything more to learn about the low level experience really. Levelling is easy now, levelling your class is easy now, levelling Photon Arts is easy now, getting a decent wad of Meseta is easy now. Looking around on Universe 1 for…

Project tokkybot: Mother Brain

Current character level: 39 Current class and level: Fortegunner 4 I took a trip through the AMF Headquarters last night, it was mostly easy going thanks to my SUPER AWESOME LASERS. I really need to get a powerful Laser Cannon, the one I'm using at the moment is the 9 star Yohmei, so no matter how many times it's been…

Acromaster speculation

Hey, I was thinking about how they could do Acromaster... Attack speed increase over Base, Advanced, and Hybrid classes S rank Slicers S rank Whips S rank R-Mags S rank Tech-Mags Level 50 Skills Level 50 Barrier Techs (Rentis and Dizas) Does this sound as wacky as something Sega team could come up with? Separating the Barrier Techs from Offensive…

Project tokkybot: Robots are evil

Current character level: 35 Current class and level: Fortegunner 2 (But almost level 3 Fortegunner!) Yes, robots are evil. I decided it was time to bite the bullet resistance and fight some robots. Train Rescue, Grove of Fanatics and Desert Goliath. The Dilla Greina was a bit of a pain and Adahna Degahna took a bit of a long time…
