George Perez quit DC's new 52 Superman comic after a mere six issues. Here's a few fun things he had to say about working in post-Crisis on Infinite Reboots DC:

•"It was not the experience I wanted it to be."
• "Unfortunately when you are writing major characters, you sometimes have to make a lot of compromises, and I was made certain promises, [...] and unfortunately not through any fault of Dan DiDio -- he was no longer the last word, I mean a lot of people were now making decisions [...] they were constantly going against each other, contradicting, again in mid-story."
• ""I didn't mind the changes in Superman, I just wish it was the same decision Issue 1 or Issue 2, and I had to kept rewriting things because another person changed their mind, and that was a lot tougher."
• "The writer who replaced me, Keith Giffen, was very, very nice. I've known Keith since we both started in the industry, he called me up when they asked him to do Superman to make sure I wasn't being fired off Superman. And regrettably I did have to tell him no, I can't wait to get off Superman. It was not the experience I wanted it to be."
•"I had no idea Grant Morrison was going to be working on another Superman title. I had no idea I was doing it five years ahead, which means ... my story, I couldn't do certain things without knowing what he did, and Grant wasn't telling everybody. So I was kind of stuck. 'Oh, my gosh, are the Kents alive? What's his relationship with all of these characters? Who exists?' And DC couldn't give me answers. I said, 'Oh, my gosh, you're deciding all these things and you mean even you don't know what's going on in your own books?' So I became very frustrated ..."

...Well. That doesn't seem like a good thing.

According to my friend who works for EA, he said that EA is already a lot closer to this than you'd think.

He also says that it's normally the high-level decision makers who lose their jobs if a game or series (Like Need For Speed) does badly, and their team is usually spread out through the rest of the company.

Jakyl, during the main event you should have just stood up, walked over to the ring announcer and taken the mic and just said "No, no no no. Just stop. Everybody stop right now. This isn't right. Let me explain to you why this isn't working everyone, and then I can explain how you guys can fix it to avoid this problem in the future!" And then go into a 30 minute booker rant.

Unless security tackles you first.

Holy s***, I'm poor as f***. I upgrade Hugo's sword, and then I have no money left to even buy armor! What the hell!? lol The birds don't even fly away when they get close. I can run up against them and they give no f***. People are passing through, like this hottie Chris. Oooooh yes. I don't even mind that she has a dude's name. She look banging in that armor. Her full name is Chris Lightfellow, which Hugo is like "Dur, that sounds familiar." Dude, come on. You literally got told you need to deliver something to the Lightfellows this very day. You can't even remember that one name? Hugo remembers and wants to give the pentacle to her, but this Roland douche gets all up in his grill.

We get to the Zexan Forest and we know we're going to right way because duck's tail feathers agree. lulz I go through until I find... Fred and Rico? I dunno. They have a mission and Rico is too fat to keep up. I find a corpse with a Recipe #2 beside it. Uuuuh awesome? Random dead soldiers hauling around Recipes. Honestly, this is pretty easy so far. And not very complex. Here's to hoping there's more to the system than just this.

Anyway, I made it to the end easily, and now I'm in Vinay del Zexay. What a name. I'm going to make food and then continue.

I go on my awesome journey but Jimba gets in the way and wants me to deliver something to the Lightfellow family. Uh, sure. It's a pentagram I guess. Sorry, a pentacle. OH MAN I GOT SO MANY PATHS I CAN GO ON NOW! I can go to a duck village or head to my destination. ...Eeeeeeh I'll head to my destination for now. If I should go to the duck village, somebody tell me.

I get to my first fight! ...Uh, those are bunnies with swords. What the f***? And I have to fight two people in my groups? That's... peculiar. Someone explain this battle process to me. Well, that fight was really easy. Next is Furrify, which I assume turns people into furries. How gruesome. Btw, the duck has a battle axe. What the god damn is up with that? I got a ? Figurine for my troubles. Ooookay.

I basically mashed X to victory for each of the battles, so here's to hoping it gets a bit more interesting when I get to Brass Castle!

From: CycloRaptor | #004

the preferred order results in several extra scenes IIRC but thats about the only difference


also if you plan to get all the characters you will probably need a guide

Damnit. I don't like using guides!

From: Menji76 | #005

I love this game. The story is amazing.

Definitely look into the lottery asap, there's a pretty good trick to win it if you want money.

I heard a guy talk about the lottery, but I couldn't find anything else about it in the village.

ANIME INTRO! How mysterious. It tells me a bit about the game and looks cool, at least. Eh, I approve. I can dig it. I'll begin with Hugo. Now then, I remember the one thing annoying about PS2 is having to find which memory card I had with this game. For those interested, I played Geddoe's story first for whatever reason and got kind of far into the first part.

But now I must enter the FLAME CHAMPION'S name. Eh, it'll be P Biz because why not. It asks if I want to load Suikoden II info. I wonder what that does.

Our hero Hugo....



Is riding on some kind of green unicorn thing with who I believe must be Howard the Duck. But maaaaan this game is quiet! Where's our background music? I don't want to hear chirping! It turns out our duck friend is... Sgt. Joe. What the hell? This duck better be awesome or I will resent this. Wait, their gryphon is a character who is named FUBAR? I've got to say, if I didn't know anything about this game at all to know it's an awesome RPG, I would probably be very put off by this by now. They didn't spend a lot of time on gryphon walk animations, I think. Anyway, I talk to a dude named Lulu...



And we have some chick named Lucia who wants to talk to our hero. I can choose a formation but uh, I'll just let them go put them in the order for me.

Hugo
Sgt. Joe
---------------Fubar (That's actually his name.)
Lulu
--------------Noone
Noone

I'm not sure why everyone is already level 10+. It doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe it makes sense to you guys! Anyway, I am running around the village. I can't loot anyone's homes. This is a complete ripoff. However, I run into some chick named Anne. What up gurl? She's going to open a pub. How lovely. I talk to some random dude who says he's glad to have married someone who cooks. I'm guessing he means Lucia. But yeah, I'm talking to people and eventually I get a Medicine D from some duck. Nice. I find some Jimba dude playing with an armor.

"OH FOX DUNG." Whaaaaaat?

Some chick called Luce comes out and insults Hugo. B****. And then Lucia and Hugo must speak! Oh, Lucia is Hugo's mom. I need to deliver a message to some guys to make a peace treaty and stuff. Luce is like the biggest b****. Putting her own son on blast. I find a training center after this conversation, but I don't get it. Oh well, it loks like my journey SHALL BEGIN!

I try to advance but uh, the duck doesn't let me. What the hell? I wander around until I go into a building that lets me prepare. Well then. The duck wants to pack 10 different outfits. But hey! The next day, everyone is wishing our heroes luck! Yay! Lucia is sweet while Luce bearhugs the f*** out of Lulu. WHY DOES EVERYONE'S NAME BEGIN WITH A LU? Also, the gryphon yells for no reason. Alright. And now it's time to play for reals now.

Going to continue playing right now.

I wish I could control Chad. However, Chad is quite his own personality. He'll do what he wants no matter what I tell him. The sad thing is, he's normally right in what he does. So I normally just allow him to do what he wants. However, I can assure you that he is not the chameleon. Chad has been by my side this entire time. I can vouch for him, and I'd have no reason to lie. Chad and I have been partners in the agency for quite some time now. I would know if he were the chameleon or not.

I'm afraid that I can't. I have breakfast and dinner to make, as well as a few things I must do on my own. Chad, on the other hand, has felt like we've spent too much time with each other for some reason. I think he's just being difficult, but... you know Chad. He forges his own path most times, even if it leaves me in the dust.

--
Xbox GT: PrivateBiscuit1
Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

Chad is certainly willing to spend the day with you, but... I'm afraid he might have less-than-good intentions. I'll tell him to stay away, if you wish.

But then, who will be my pair to travel with...?

Alright everyone, it's time for some Suikoden III! I've never gotten anywhere with this game, but I want to. I hear it's a great RPG and I do enjoy me some great RPGs. The only thing that really ever put me off from it is that the battles are so quiet. They bugged me a bit.

But anywho, I want to play this. I know nothing about the series and barely anything about the game. I do recall that the game goes in some kind of order of whose stories you want to play first. If anyone can tell me which one I should do first, I'd appreciate that!

But first things first: Rules for this topic.

1) Don't post spoilers unless I've gotten to them. Seriously, don't do it. Not even with the little black banner. I can't handle it. For reals.

2) Feel free to give me advice on wtf I should do and what I should watch out for.

3) Discussion on character and story isn't only recommended, it's ALLOWED.

It's really that easy. So without further ado... I'll start on this playthrough momentarily.

Above is a video of a 68-year-old bus monitor named Karen Klein being verbally harassed by a group of middle schoolers on their way home from Athena Middle School in Greece, New York. Throughout the ten minute video, you can hear the kids verbally berate the woman, calling her a b****, fatass, poor, ugly, and various other words of the like. At one point in the video, you can hear one of the kids yell, “You’re so f***in' poor you fat ass,” in which Karen responds, “I try to live by some of these words, I try and it’s really hard,” referring to the words on her purse. Now, I don’t know about you, but that broke my f***ing heart. There’s even a point in the video where one of the kids touches Karen’s arm in an attempt to make fun of her. I’m not sure why these kids would want to bully a senior citizen to tears, but I feel we should do something, or at least try.

She doesn't earn nearly enough ($15,506) to deal with some of the trash she is surrounded by. Lets give her something she will never forget, a vacation of a lifetime!

This is a really nice thing people are doing. These kids are a bunch of little s***s and need some discipline. The video was hard to watch, and I feel so badly for that woman. I thought you guys might find it interesting though.

Eli Cottonwood is no longer in the company!

It used to be Big E. Langston, but he's been more Mark Henry-like lately and therefor is no longer an unentertaining lout.

And then it was SILENT RAGE, but he got released.

And now it is Bo Dallas, because every single match he wrestles is the same, he has no moveset, he has no ring psychology, he has to be carried, his mic skills suck, and he has a terrible look.

God I hate Bo Dallas.

First to five votes wins. Let's do this.

Dark Cloud 2 - 2/3 of the way through maybe.

Final Fantasy 8 - I'm on Disc 2 or 3. The part where you have to make songs with Zell.

Legend of Dragoon - Love the game. Already beaten it.

Final Fantasy X - Love the game. Already beaten it.

Suikoden 3 - Got nowhere with it yet.

Final Fantasy X-2 - Got... through act 2, I think. I'd just restart it.

Final Fantasy XII - I got halfway through maybe.

Lost Odyssey - Liked this game. Got to the last disc, but I'll probably restart it.

Xenosaga - I could give it a second chance. I can't deal with the constant cutscenes though.

So go Board 8. Make my decisions for me!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was making good money with the TGWTG crew, since they make an embarrassingly large amount of money for the trash they mostly produce. Now I don't know what he'll do.

However, keeping in mind that he made all of that money with the TGWTG crew, getting himself s*** canned from there with a remark that could possibly get him fired from it makes him less lamentable and more eye-rollingly idiotic.
