Not . . . yet. Waiting for me girl to get ready. Also, I wonder if Gamestop even has a copy in-stock?

They ought to, it's available in Australia which means you can probably buy it from a 24/7 in the US.

See if you can trade your girlfriend for a plane ticket for me. Make sure she 'gets ready' properly though, I prefer to fly First Class.

Kah5?

Also, which version of BlazBlue are you going to go get, Continium Shift or Calamity Trigger.

Odds are, they will have Trigger "pre-owned" for a very decent price, Shift (if they have it) will be new and probably around 40$. I would call to confirm Shift as it is a RELATIVELY new game (like 5 months old I think)

Shift came out July 27. It is apparently an all-out seuqal to Trigger?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAaaa!!!!!!!!!!!



You say "Sequel" as if the story of Trigger was even remotely followable.

If you have played Daisuke's other games, you know his story-modes(lines) are TERRIBLE and its nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get a Cannon ending (as many of them are conflicting or just downright CONFUSING AS F***) Trigger is NO execption! I commend the man able to follow that story!

As far as it being a sequel, I know there are more characters and it supposedly "Advances the storyline" (However, to advance means that the story was heading in a direction, which if you play the game, you will see, it does NOT DO THIS!)

Think Guilty Gear Overture + Jim Carrey's Website + 4chan's /b/ section and you have a more solid and structured setting/storyline then what currently is BlazBlue. (But then again, ANYONE playing these games for the story-line is the Ultimate anime fan and should probably try reading an ACTUAL BOOK once and a while...)

Case and point, you won't be missing much by skipping to Shift and just reading the Wiki on Trigger (At least they ATTEMPT to piece the story togeather... sheesh) Shift supposedly has more characters anywho, unless they dropped Hakumen, which in all honesty, would be a GOOD thing (he was a dramattically overpowered character who has been banned in most tournements I have seen and all he really did was make the game less enjoyable...)

Ausgezeichnet! Just bought shift.

Toshimichi Mori wrote:For Blazblue, the most important thing is the storyline, so that's the first thing we work on. It is with the story in mind that I start creating the characters that I need to complete the story. After I figure out the characters that I need, I start creating their abilities. I then incorporate these abilities into the gameplay system. Once we reach that point, we split into our two teams: the people that have to work on the scenario and the people who develop the gameplay. All in all, it takes an average of five months for the character's creation.

Right. All the reviews I read praised the story. Haha, I love updates via mobile. And check out my Norwegian flag!

When I get home tonight, I am going to break out my Trigger manual to get the exact quote stated in the "why I make games" section they included to kinda "connect the gamer with the developers". It was a priceless quote, I just cannot rememebr it off of the top of my head >_<

What's going on here? *Looks around -_-*

I've been a woman since I convinced myself that having boobs would be the coolest thing ever Don't you men agree?

I disagree, if you have boobs you have to wear a bra. How many times have you heard women complain about wire bras or about something to do with them.

I was on a school bus and we kept hitting bumps, she forgot to wear her bra and was complaining about how the bumps were hurting her boobs.

I'd be extremely careful making that particular sexist comment in female company.
If you don't know why, look it up. I don't blame you for getting that impression from popular society, but there are some aspects of bigotry that are very good at disguising themselves.

They make bra's out of wire? I thought they were made out of some composite fabric? Except the hook,obviously.

Also, what woman in her right mind wouldn't wear a bra on a school bus full of (probably) boys her own age?

-_- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwire_bra

Fine, I will say this; wire bras are dangerous. They need to be removed if applying an AED or else the person may get electrical burns from the wires. That should be reason enough to complain about them, should also not be sexist.

In the case of cardiac arrest, slight burns are probably not one's greatest concern. Mythbusters worked on this one.

If your bra was somehow soaked in alcohol, it was frayed enough around the wire area, and the paddles were incorrectly placed, then yes, the bra might just burst into flames.

Burning bra, geddit?

Now, I insist, no more sexism!

I want/need a PS3!

What if a lady was really drunk at a mosh pit? There is a chance she would be covered in alcohol and possibly hve frayed bits around the wires.

I still don't get the sexism though, but okay then.

You need a ps3, may I suggest selling blood?

The suggestion that a woman must be in her 'right mind' to wear a bra is a big, stinking load of crap, Samus. You talk a lot of harmless crap, but seriously dude.

We live in a society that effectively forces women to wear bras, and whilst they do provide freedom for those more endowed, they likewise set a standard, and a western woman of a certain shape who does not wear a bra is treated no differently to a woman in an Islamic society who does not wear a burqa. Tell that to your French president.

I'm not saying that any woman is wrong for wanting to wear a bra or being concerned over the appearance of her breasts. It's just that the logic doesn't follow both ways.

I think Samus's was with context or something.

I don't care either which way, its just that either way someone's going to complain. Not being sexist, everybody complains.

Hakumen was bottom tier in Calamity Trigger. He's good in Continium Shift though.

...and all I did was give a warning about the original comment. 'Everyone complains' is a pretty weak excuse, considering I bothered to explain it to you.

You get away with it due to ignorance but I wouldn't push the discussion.

So I can sell blood, right? I hear women have blood to spare.

Hoho, I see irony off the port bow.

BTW, I'm not sexist, I just don't care what race/sex/creed a person is enough to change what I say.

And yes, selling blood is good. I however doubt that blood from menses would be worth as much as blood from an artery or a vein. The blood in menses is actually the outer lining of the uterus sloshing off and out after a failed attempt to fertilize an egg and implant an embryo in the lining of the uterus.

For the last time, I didn't call you a sexist. The comment was an iffy one, and Samus' was just silly.

Where was the irony?

You arguing against sexism and then ending the previous post with a sexist joke. Its irony and hipocrisy so that means its extra hipocritical!

I know exactly what you meant, and I knew you would say it - I just wanted to hear it. Referencing a perfectly natural bodily function is not sexist. You walked right into that one, and proved that you have no idea what sexism is.

Thanks for playing!

well Little big planet 2........

What? I wasn't saying it would be a crime not to, I was just saying "why wouldn't she?"

I mean, if you don;t want dudes to stare at you, put a bra on.

So if I said that I don't trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die, that isn't sexism as I am referencing the natural time of the month known as menses?

What if I said, "I bet she knows what its like to get it stuck to her." or "She knows what a watermelon going through a tight hole would be like." these would not be sexist as well as I am referencing intercourse(which is a natural reproductive process) or referencing childbirth(also natural).

What if I said that a woman was an excellent source of calcium? Referencing lactation(which is natural in most cases, galactorrhea is not).

Sure its natural, but the context of it dramatically changes the way it is taken by other people.

You singled out women and noted that they could be used as a tool to gain money. By harvesting the blood from menses and selling it you are simply using the woman as a tool and not as a person. By saying that they have an excess of blood you are saying that they are different from men(not necessarily saying they are inferior all alone, but in context it does) and that this difference should be exploited for your own good.

It stereotypes women by saying that all women have periods, at this current time not all females are capable of having periods as some are too young or too old. The stereotype is used negatively as you are using them as a blood factory for your own gain. By saying that they are just producers of blood you are belittling them, hence the sexism.

Also, that is poor taste to reference it. Menses is the product of a failed copulation or even of a natural abortion. This means that people who want to have children are reminded of the fact that they aren't going to have children by menses. You sir are a monster.
Thanks for playing dude!

P.S: I will just remind you that I am american and therefor am correct.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, would you care to explain why my statement is sexist?

As I know, men have boobs as well. They are called moobs/manboobs and yes they should also wear a bra.

HA. Moobs. I've actually never heard them called that before, only testosterboobs

Hi everyone!

I'm just necroing my own thread to thank Jihadnik for helping me to get a cut-price PS3. I am now playing BlazBlue, and enjoying it immensely. Rant below is not related to game.


"Bleeds for a week and doesn't die" is toilet humour. If you happen to be a self-declared sexist and are making that observation because you literally do not trust menstruating women then yes, you are probably being sexist. Stereotyping is not automatically sexism. Sex-jokes are not neccesarily sexist. Chauvinism is not necessarily sexism. Most, but not all, women naturally have periods. I didn't declare that I intended to steal menses from anyone - obviously if this was a legitimate business engagement I would conduct it in a non-discriminatory and legal fashion in any case. Prostitution is another way to 'make money out a person' but they do not necessarily have to be women. You were the one who made women out to be 'tools', and that they are 'just producers of blood'. Frankly, that's a bit weird.

Lactation is also perfectly natural and required for the natural development of baby mammals. This can be substituted with replacement formulae but is not preferable due to the advantages a mother's naturally produced milk provides to the child's immune-system. If I was to state that 'all women with children have to breastfeed them', it could be correctly called out as sexism. They have a choice in the matter between breastmilk and formula. Other choices include wet-nursing, just letting their children die, or orphaning them. Suggesting that all women should wear bras or that there's something automatically wrong with one who doesn't is still pretty much always sexist.

Men can provide blood too, but if I was advertising menses for sale I would have to be dishonest to sell plain old blood. It was a joke. If you insist on picking apart my jokes it just makes both of us look awkward.
