Holly cosplay! Kratos, Red Sonja etc... awesome!

I turned off the sound on my 3DS while playing Etrian Odyssey Untold to save some battery power and then I realized your party reminds you what are the best attacks for a given creature just before the battle.So I moved the volume up just enough to hear them.

Once I figured out how to do that move, I used it as often as possible. It never got old.

Thanks.  I got some money and talked some Minecraft with my nephew. Nothing much to really blog about there.

I'm not positive, because I haven't played all of them yet, but I think it's the most accessible EO yet.

I've played a little bit of one of the King's Quest games. They are very funny. I'll have to play them all sometime.

Grimoire synthesis is confusing. You use 3 stones, one of which is lost in the process. Then you have whatever number of slots from one of the stones and can choose from the skills contained in two of them. I'm still not sure which stone in consumed. I think it's the base, but maybe it was the last one. I stopped doing synthesis for a while and just chose whatever stone was useful. I still don't get the equipment bonus. I guess it allows you to equip a weapon your class usually can't use. Sometimes it's seems to disallow the weapon you're currently using though. Some of those skills are handy however. I have a medic with a stone that has a Volt spell. It gives him something to do when his normal attack is useless.

I've been using the Reference option in battles lately. You hit RB and you get a breakdown of the creature's weaknesses, if you've met it before. I used the Analysis spell and items before to try and uncover some of the question marks there, but they don't seem to do anything.

Neat. DSII looking good.

I love the art of Street Fighter and Darkstalkers. It draws me in even though I don't go for 1v1 fighting games much. It's like comic book art: the women are busty and and men are brawny. It's hyper exaggerated, hyper intense, it's hyper exciting!

I find myself singing the God Hand theme song again thinking about all this. I think I'll go punch something God Hand style.

So want to play those Monkey Island games. I've played a little bit of Syberia. The genre as escaped me for some reason, but I'd like to dig in deep sometime.
