Welcome to Gaia! ::

No way! I LOVE games that are ... uhhh... Ahhh... errrrr!

no

I once wrote a 2000-word essay about how good Persona 3 is, but it's gone now.

I wish my childhood best friend was still normal and not like, crazy. She has a picture of the windmill hut guy from OoT on her Facebook. We used to be obsessed with the Song of Storms and Zelda in general together, so long ago.

Assuming "e" means "ecstasy"... of course

In fact, my metroid junk is so like life, even more because NOONE TELLS ME WHAT TO ******** DO. AAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

I'm gonna have to look up an answer to this soon. I must have missed something.

Ambiguity was the joke!

TEEHEEE

My old best friend's been kinda flakey in ways for his whole life. He was atleast reliable, but got less so in highschool. When he came back from basic training I found I really couldn't stand to be around him anymore.

"Hey wanna hang out?" Became I wanna borrow your gamecube controller for the 3rd wii I've owned. Maybe you can watch me play dragon age until you get bored and go home. And then selling your gamecube controller with the wii and all my games because I got bored of them and I'm terrible with money.

Thank you for not thinking I am dense. Neither are you.

I dunno. Matthew said I'm not socially awkward, but I think he was just confused or something.

In any case, I have been on many occasions (though everyone has, really).

I have social anxiety though. One of the many symptoms is that I have trouble skyping with a large group of you people. Especially since you're almost all men. Not sure if things like that, getting nervous about talking to people I don't know well and avoiding speaking in class at all costs (resorting to truancy, even) count as social awkwardness.

And most friends are kinda crap like that. I wonder if a lot of my high school friends only ever hang out with me anymore because they feel obligated to. We have almost nothing in common but our pasts and the fact that we're students, and I bet many of us only became friends because our school was so damn tiny. I have just one friend left who I genuinely enjoy hanging out with, and who still likes me a lot. The others leave me feeling a bit depressed afterwards sometimes.

It's hard to explain what makes a game fun exactly, why people enjoy them so much. Why can racing games and strategy RPGs and FPSes and rhythm games all be enjoyable?

But anyway, Persona 3 and 4 are fun because they are challenging, rewarding, interesting and satisfying, and because they have some of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. And because they force you to become emotionally attached to them if you decide to complete them. Persona 4 literally had me bawling my eyes out and cussing Atlus out at one point, and that has never happened with another game... ever. My eyes may have become slightly watery when Aeris died or Shadow the Hedgehog died (lol), for example, but that's about it.

And yeah I guess they can be hard too, but not excruciatingly so... not normally. There's always grinding, and you gain EXP at a rapid pace because you have to do things other than dungeon crawl too. Plus I'd say battles in that game are just inherently more interesting that they are in most other JRPGs, so when I did have to grind, it wasn't painful at all. That might just be me and my almost irrational love for the game. Grinding in Pokemon puts me to sleep, though, and you have to do much more than just press A to grind in Persona.

The biggest flaw is probably that you'll almost certainly want to use GameFAQs for it, whether it's to find out the answers in school, to know how to create certain Personas, to know what the best things to say to people are or, in extreme cases, to know what strategy to use in order to defeat an enemy. For some reason I find that kinda fun too sometimes, though I don't need them so much anymore.
