    Nah for real try verifying the Steam files. That's generally my first step when a game is acting wonky.

    Knee break followed by a soccer kick to the face is basically how I take out the first dude in any fight.

    Roundhouse kick(s) or tackle to the ground + punch for me.

    question for people that have a 3dsxl: I don't like the dpad on the normal 3ds very much, it's very stiff and it feels like it's not raised up quite enough. How do the dpad and buttons feel on the xl?

    You can't have Metal Gear Risk. Risk makes sense.

    Finally sat down and committed to beating
    Marie's Dungeon
    in P4 Golden. Wasn't as bad as I expected, and it was quite fitting that I killed the boss using Kaguya.

    Also I really kinda want that New Leaf XL.

    If I hadn't already spent my game money on Dragons Dogma I might've gotten it.

    All the figurines I would like to get don't exist, save for the Normandy SR-2 I have. Which is probably good for my budget's sake.

    I have spent way more money on figurines than I'd like to admit.

    A collection of PVC statues of all the Straw Hat Pirates ain't cheap.

    all of the cards have long manifestos written on them about how board games are just how the shadow governments of the world train the next generation to become military tacticians

    in metal gear risk instead of rolling you dice you play an entire 2nd game of risk to decide the outcome of every single battle

    Do you roll dice for that game or are we stuck in a Forever Loop?

    There are 2 as I recall. There's a Mini one, about 4 inches tall. There are sometimes some on eBay, but usually bundled with other MGS2 figures. However, most of the ones on eBay are knock offs of varying quality. I've also see bronze and silver coloured versions of the same figure, though I only have the coloured one.

    The best one is the Macfarlane one. It's not hard to get but it's a pain in the ass and might be pricey. The parts were all sold separately with the other Macfarlane figures for MGS2 so you have to either get them all (and the Solidus sealed used to go for a bomb) to get Ray, or scrap around eBay looking for the ray parts separately without the other figures. It's tricky to assemble it, but it looks pretty good.

    I hope they make a 3DS Lite that is the size of the OG but has the superior form factor of the XL

    that would explain why ebay has a bunch of ziplock baggies of loose Metal Gear RAY parts

    why can't there just be a pointlessly expensive impractically large RAY for me to stuff on a shelf somewhere

    I bought that MGS Risk game and immediately got the game going with five people and two of which were Risk vets.

    After 3 turns we were so confused trying to use the new rules.

    The pieces are really colorful though! And its pretty cool playing the game while looping all the MGS theme songs.

    you know i used to be all curmudgeonly about newer variations on risk with like missions and capitol cities and stuff

    but then i realized one day that traditional risk isn't actually very fun to play

    okay there's a pretty cheap auction on a full set of the metal gear ray pieces that i'm gonna keep an eye on

    on a scale of 1-10 how terrible am i for being mad that it's labeled as the Marines prototype model from the beginning of the game and not one of the Arsenal Gear models from the ending
