The cross-class stuff can't be used in raids or PVP (you need an active companion to use those special abilities), so they're basically just fun little things for the single player grind.

I've been playing TOR since launch and I love it.

Archers are completely broken. I only used two when I played through the game, but they did about 99% of the work. Next time I play this, I'm using no less than four.

Nah, Amazon's a smart choice. Enjoy your games and emulators (after you get your card)!

I voted for IV, V, and VIII. V and VIII are just absolutely my two favorite in the series -- I actually just beat VIII for the third time recently, and this time I actually beat all of the optional Dragovian Trials. I hate having to stop playing a great game after I complete everything.

It was actually sort of a toss-up between IV and IX for me -- there are many great things about IX, but I felt that the story was really weak (even for a DQ game), many of the optional quests were extremely irritating, and because I (as an American, particularly one who doesn't live in a major metropolitan area) didn't get the whole "tag mode" experience that was hyped up. It was fun swapping maps at that one GameStop event, but the events at Best Buy and certain malls weren't held anywhere near me. I even put the game in Tag Mode and brought it to an anime convention for a day and didn't get a single tag.

But the race in Chrono Trigger WAS bullshit. You just use a boost at the very end, bam, you win. I always just go up and down the whole time, to avoid bumping Johnny, and then boost at the finish line.

What the hell, I'll take an invite.

I don't know how it works in your state, but in California, you have to be employed AND be earning under a certain amount to be eligible for food stamps. For students, the same applies, but you need fewer hours of work per week.

...I wonder if having an unpaid internship counts as being employed? I'll likely be doing that by the end of the year and it would be great to have to spend less of my student loans on food.

Hmmm, apparently reviews for Green Lantern are being kept under wraps until the day before its release.

Out of curiosity, has there ever been a time when something that had embargoed reviews turned out to be really good? Or just pretty good?

Makes sense, though.  How else are you going to play a 13-year-old game if you're not running the latest firmware?

That might be relevant if it was a direct port or on VC, but it's a remake with all new graphics and extra features.

Also FFTA3, where the characters are still all sprites.

I really want this too.

The lamest part of Nintendo's E3 showing to me was that Animal Crossing and Paper Mario still have a "TBD" release date. Seeing as both games looked pretty damn good last year, I have to wonder if it's because they want to hold back some of their games for later.
