SPYRO! The Dragon...

You know the original Play Station game (Very first one). I finally tracked it down (Game Traders EEEE) and have been addicted to it.

Of course if i keep playing it the way I am currently I'm gonna finish it in a couple days.

Also playing FE: TSS
Redback, Funnel-Web, Blue-ringed octopus
Taipan, Tigersnake and a Box jellyfish
Stonefish and the poison thing that lives in a shell
That spikes you when you pick it up

I don't really have the time to play anything (finals and all) but I'm hoping to somehow finish Assassin's Creed before I go home for break. For the drive back to CO I've got Disgaea on my PSP and, after the battery dies (the PSP can't last the whole car trip), Professor Layton on my DS. I'm also going to be brining my Wii home so I can play some more Wii Sports Resort, finish up FFIV The After Years, and get to Super Paper Mario.

Yes I mean The Sacred Stones,

And I've never heard of this Fire Emblem; Tear Ring Saga, do you mean just Tear Ring Saga? That game I have heard of.

That reminds me of a puzzle.

Colly's got Professor Layton. We've made a meme out of the fact that literally everything reminds the people in that curious village of a puzzle. For example: "Look at this filthy jar... it reminds me of a puzzle."

We can't wait for Diabolical Box XD

Anyway, as for the Video Games I've been playing lately... Chrono Trigger. Also Chrono Trigger. And finally there's Chrono Trigger. Borrowed from Stevenson. On Sunday, I ended up playing freaking Chrono Trigger for... 12 hours straight. Yeah...

And why is it that all the characters I like, except Frog, apparently "suck later"? Don't care for Chrono, it was kind of epic when he died and I got to play as Frog. But apparently he's the best character, according to Colly. Never really used Lucca; wish I could but she fills basically the same role as Chrono and I don't need two of him, but apparently she's really useful too. I love Robo. I love him a lot. But apparently he's "good at first, but he's just there to trick newbies and he steals EXP later". Same for Magus. I liked Marle a lot as basically a White Mage, but apparently "Frog's better". And ok, yeah, he's a good healer, but I'd rather have him attack. I actually liked having Ayla around for the Slurp-Kiss combo with Frog, which also cured Status effects, but apparently she's just generally useless because she doesn't have proper magic...

Not that I really care anyway. I mostly use Frog, Magus, and Robo, sometimes swap Robo for Ayla or Marle. Pretty much never use Chrono, which is admittedly really sad.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

Not sure who you're getting your info from but, as someone who has beaten CT many times (I've beaten the final boss multiple times with all sorts of different party combinations), I can say that all the characters are completely useable late game and fairly well balanced.

Chrono: Has what's probably the best normal weapon in the game (high attack power and frequent critical hits) and his best spell is very strong.
Marle: Best healer by far and her best attack spell works fairly well even on the final boss. Practically a must for the final bosses on your first playthrough for her healing.
Lucca: Lousy physical attacks (unless you give her a ton of stat boost items) but her best spell does a lot of damage.
Frog: A passable, though not great, healer. Pretty strong physical attacker, especially with the upgraded Masamune. Personally, I actually found him to be one of the weaker end-game characters, though still quite good.
Robo: Very strong physical attacker. Lots of HP. Some fairly good techs. And, if you're playing on the DS, there's a weapon you can find for him in one of the new optional dungeons that has horrible attack power but always does 9999 damage when it criticals. Combine with an accessory to boost his critical hit chances, and he's an excellent boss killer (I used him quite a lot when repeatedly fighting the finals bosses to get all the endings in the DS version.
Ayla: Awesome physical attacker (her fist actually gains attack power as you level her up). Her Triple Kick tech can do quite a lot of damage. She can steal (well, technically the enemies give her stuff, but yeah) and there's some good stuff to steal. I tend to use her a lot.
Magus: Pretty good physical attacker. Very strong magic attacker with a final spell that rivals Chrono's.

Well I've finally bought and started playing Force Unleashed. Fun so far. Wonder if there is anything wrong with me loving to use force lighting to kill things :)

If you were to look at my currently changed avatar and signiature, you'd notice my current liking of the Guilty Gear series, and more specifically, Guilty Gear XX.

Got Battlefield 1943 a few days ago, and it's pretty kewl. It's similar to a simplified, WWII version of Bad Company. The new Air Superiority mode is awesome, plus it only cost $15. Ka-ching.
