Ar tonelico Qoga Knell of Ar Ciel Announced and Has Sealed My Opinion On Buying Imports New

5 days ago NIS America officially announced Ar tonelico 3 for localization as Ar tonelico Qooga: Knell of Ar Ciel. This is great news imo, but has led me to a somwhat akward conclusion. For the past 3 years I've been importing select games new(Agarest War, X-Edge, Atelier Rorona, WKC, And Ar tonelico 3), and all of these have been localized(or have been announced for one)... coincidence? maybe, but i decided to do a litmus test of sorts with two game I hoped would get a localization: Tale of Vesperia PS3 and Ar tonelico 3.

I bought AT3, while I held off on ToV. Guss what? AT3 is announced, while I have lost hope on Vesperia. Yeah I know Namdai's ficke, but this is just one example.

Guess I'm cursed(or blessed depending on how you see it) with my new import collection being localized.

The APOCALYPS3 is over

The incident I mentioned in my last post, now unofficially called the APOCALYPS3, has been resolved by itself. As Fat PS3's internal clock got past the imaginary date of Febuary 29, 2010, full functionality and Psn connectively returned.

Fat PS3's Gimped due to glitch

They're biggest gaming news is Sony's biggest problem: somewhere between 17-22 million PS3's are unable to work properly due to a internal clock glitch.

The glitch set's your clock back to December 31, 1999, and will make it Impossible to access Psn, as well as make you downloadable titles unplayable.

Games That load trophy data at startup are also unplayable.

Sony is currently trying to resolve the issue.

Got AT3

Forgot to post this, since I was too busy actually playing


I'm Loving the battle system, but the game loses me at time due to lack of language comprehension, but overall I've been enjoying the game.

Modnation Racers Beta: A Review

I had a chance to be a part of the Modnation Racers Beta, and I must say I was impressed.

Ever wished you could play a Kart Racing game with a character you created? Or maybe a well known character from you favorite cartoon, anime, or games? Ever Got tired of the same tracks in Mario Kart and wanted to make your own? Or how about making your own cart?

You can do all this in modnation, you can even share your creations online.


The track creator is the most impressive feature. You can create tracks, modify the terrain add item collection point, add, trees, fences, boost points, you can even modify tracks created by other users. And if you only want to create the tracks, the autopopulate feature will do everything else for you.

Great Beta, and the final product will be even better

Hurry up AT3!!

I've pre-ordered the import of Ar tonelico 3, but the 28th is taking forever to get here.

I want AT3 NOW!!

Please... hurry up.

Earlier today In Colonge, Germany at the location of Gamescom Tomorrow Sony Had there own Eary Press Release, where Kaz Hirai  himself came out officially announced the PS3 Slim, and it will be available in all regions by mid September for $299.




On top of that it was announced that the current models price have been dropped to match The Slim's

Now is a good time to get a ps3, whether you wait for the Slim or get the reduced priced current model.

Beat Cross Edge

Today I beat Cross Edge with the true ending! I have yet to see the other endings but I'm sure this is my favorite. My only disappointment was when I realized I wouldn't be able toget everything on normal. I am now playing a second playthrough, then hope to get into playing Atelier Rorona in depth

Dragons and Lunar

As you may know I love dragons(After Mir of course), and this love started with a Game called Lunar: The Silver Star and it's sequel Lunar:Eternal Blue . This series to this day is one of my alltime favorite series, So I was Estatic when I heared about the PsP remake of Silver Star, and even more so when I heared about the NA localization and publisher was Xseed.
(these pics all came fromLunarNet)

I got unusually into finding more Lunar info and came across a online quiz to find out which Lunar dragon you are:

alt="What Lunar dragon are you?" />

In other new Atelier Rorona: Alchemist of Arland Is due to arrive today!!!


Update: It has arrived

Back in the game

Now that I'm feeling better time to get back to my gaming.

Cross Edge has turned out to be really good , I have so much fun just batting constantly . I'm currently in 2-3 and about to move on.


I am also trying to get the true ending since I never did with my Jp copy.

Cross Edge Is Here

It Came! It Came! It Came! Finally









I can't wait any longer *Puts disc in PS3*

Hectic day

This day has been really crazy for me. It started when I realized some issues on the forums have escalated(wont go into it. most of you know anyway). Then I had to work this morning(I usually work nights), as the boss somhow missed a Lot last night.. didn't get to sleep untill noon.

When I finally got up, I noticed that my package from amazon, A 500 gb Western Digital 500 gb Scorpio Blue 2.5 inch SATA HDD(to upgrade my ps3) and a strategy guide for Folklore, had come a day early.

At this point I took out the old HDD and started to unscrew it from the frame that holds it in place, but they were tight and I striped 3 of the screws... gaaah!!

I have the 500 gb in my ps3 now but without the frame, that will have to do until tomorrow.

One good thing did happen: A friend let me have a couple games for free.

Getting Ticked off waiting for Cross Edge

Okay I have been waiting several months now For the Rosenqueen Website to have the Cross Edge Pre-Order available. Supposed to be coming out in two weeks and nothing, nada, zip, zero. I want to wait and see if they have any nice extras, but the wait is killing me!!

While Waiting I have been Playing a Ps3 game I rented called Little Big Planet. This game has a old Platformer(like Super Mario Brothers or Sonic the Hedgehog) feel to it, but with with active multiplayer(at the same time) and online play.
The Coolest feature though is the level creator and community levels. If you are online you can play levels that other players have made or make your own level and publish it in the online community.

Still playing Teirkreis. By the Walktrough I'm using, I am just starting chapter five.

Hopefuly by my next message I will have Cross Edge Pre-Ordered one way or the other.

A good day all around

Yesterday was my sister's dog Mason's Birthday.He is now 2.
I don't know about other People but in my family we treat our pets birthdays just like every one else in our family. We had a little family party then my mother took him to play at the Dog Park.










I Play a Virtual Life game called PlayStation Home, which is a little like Second Life on the PS3 except it doesn't have user generated content and it's still in beta so it's not as advanced, and there is region locking. This is one of the reason I have multiple PSN account's. Well anyways I was in for a treat today Because The EU/UK Home had Star Trek costumes available starting yesterday, and free too! Yay!





I also had a chance to play a little farther in Teirkreis yesterday I have now beaten the caverns, got the second book and passport and am now passing through the check point. I'm hoping to have some more time to play today, but who knows what will happen.
