Yeah, I love it! It keeps track of your game progress for you through your XBL account so you don't need to update it on your own! The problem is I don't hook my 360 up to the internet that often so it will prolly be outdated a lot XD
Hiya, AceNoctali here. Maybe you'll remind me as the one who commented about Chitose's Kansaiben in your Youtube video "Can I as you sum queeshon?". ^^'
I stumbled on your LJ both by searching LJ interests with the keywords "tokimeki memorial", and via your Youtube channel's main page.
Reading a few of your LJ posts, it seems we have several interests in common, and, well... I unfortunately don't have many people to talk with on LJ. T_T
Do you mind I friend you ?

I don't mind at all ^^ It's always good to make new friends :D And yes I remember your comment on youtube too ^^
Thank you ! ~o~
By the way, I'm a bit embarassed to ask you this, but... How could I name you ? By your LJ nick (amanohashi), your Youtube nick (Metapod), or another name ?
As for me, you can name me AceNoctali, or like most of my friends do, Ace. ~_^

Hmm... well, everyone calls me something different actually XD I don't really have a preferred name. Most people around my lj know me by the name 'Marcus' though.
Okay, so Marcus it will be. ^^
Just a last question while I am at it... I see you like a lot Tokimeki Memorial 3 and the Girl Side's versions of the franchise. What's your opinion about the first two, though ?
Yeah, I may be a fan of the first, but don't be afraid to tell me if you don't like it : I'm very conscious of the fact this game is severely dated nowadays, especially compared to the sequels. (to tell you the truth, when I saw your Izumi dates Youtube videos, I was impressed by the deepness of TM3, to the point I wondered why that game bombed... Was it because of the cel-shading chara art ? Was it because the trend of non-H Ren'ai games with datable girls - as the Girl's Side verson, with datable boys, are successful games - had worn off ? Or both ? I wonder...)

I have never played Tokimeki Memorial 2, though I REALLY REALLY want to. I've only experienced the first game through the SNES ROM, and I don't really like ROMs so I have only played through one girl and then got rid of it. Plus I'd much rather wait until I can play a superior version.
I try to buy Tokimemo 2 on PS1 now and then but I always get outbid on ebay :( I really just don't have the money for it. I didn't really get into Tokimeki Memorial until Girl's Side -- I had known about it but hadn't learned Japanese yet so I just couldn't be interested. I bought Girl's Side after I had been studying Japanese for a few years and LOVED the game, so I got Tokimemo 3 and I think it's amazingly fun. I know a lot about the first two games despite that I haven't played them, and I think TM3 is really a great game, even compared to the first two. I think the characters are a bit more real and sometimes a little deeper. But then again I have not fully experienced the first two games so I can't really say.
I think the biggest thing missing from 3 that made it do so poorly -- in addition to love simulation genre getting less popular for boys -- is that there is complete lack of CG stills or any kind of collection! When you clear the game you are awarded nothing but a little chart that shows how well you did -- which takes up a seperate save slot -- and then you are able to view the endings and free talk with the voice actors (which is cool, because they're videos of the girls actually talking, unlike Girl's Side's freetalks which just show a picture of the character while the actor talks).
But seriously, there is no still album. And like, collecting all the images in the album is a big deal. People like to look at their album and see all the stills of their fav girls, and people like to complete all the album. TM3 has no such thing. There is a like... diary? or something that like... describes some important events, but again it takes its own save slot along with your little chart, and it's not very interesting or nostalgic like cg scene stills.
And I guess the cel-shaded 3D girls are not popular. They are kinda bland and the graphics look crappy at first glance, but after playing for a few minutes I am used to it and think they look okay, and I really like the things that the 3D girls bring to the game. I mean, they move around and make motions while talking now! I think it really brings them alive.
The main reason I like Girl's Side is because of Amanohashi. Seriously XD; If it wasn't for him I would like the game a LOT less. The gameplay and character development is SO bland compared to TM3. Love simulation is not always about the characters -- I don't really like any of NeoAngelique's characters but that game is just really fun to play and the overall story is fun. Angelique Etoile, however, has a character I really love and an okay story but the game sucks to play and I hate it and have never cleared it because it's so insanely tedious and boring to play.
Buuutttt yeah, I'll have to wait til I've played TM1 and 2 more before I really judge them. They look great, and I like the stuff I've heard about TM2 tying in with your childhood memories or something (I try to avoid spoilers as I do plan to play the game eventually).
I only wish the series offered more glasses characters XD I have a thing for glasses types. TM3's Kawai is REALLY cute and looks great in glasses but she's SO annoying sometimes. Her voice is screechy and she is an anime/game 'otaku' type character... it's cute sometimes, and her story is actually one of my favorites, but sometimes she's just really annoying :\ I'd rather have a girl who is like Morimura from Girl's Side. He's shy but can be bold sometimes, and overall very cute personality. I think the girl from TM1 is like that (Mio?? Something... I can't remember her name) but I don't know for sure :\

Your blog is interesting!
Keep up the good work!

Lol.. if only there were an extra-userpics-only feature.. I'd get that for you. :(
(that icon is lame lol) and yeah I'd buy it for myself too D:
Not official, but I thought this observation was true.
"All of Mega Man 8's robot masters seem to have personality disorders.
-Aqua man is a narcissist
-Grenade man is a masochist
-Tengu man is an elitist
-Search man is divided
-Astro man is paranoid
-Sword man is insensitive
-Clown man is bipolar
-Frost Man is just a violent psycho."
LOL I know you hate MM8, but.. XD

I think they had to stretch a bit. I mean is "divided" really a personality disorder...?? Same with elitist and insensitive. Those are more just... personality traits. Narcissism could also be seen as such.
Though if they were just making descriptive words to apply to each RM, then yeah XZDDDD
Anyway, I do hate MM8 because it's worse than all the other MM games, but because it's part of Mega Man, I still have to love it, in its own special way, you know?
And there are things I do like about MM8 -- one being the character design (Duo and Search Man are wonderful :D So is Tengu Man.) so that post is actually about one of the things I like about MM8 anyway XZDDD

I never update the watching/playing so it's always SOOOOOOO not what I'm actually doing.
I'll battle/trade but don't expect anything out of it... I like... don't really have anything worth trading or battling now XZDDDD Well, I have stuff to trade on Dia/Per, but I'm not trading w/ my Platty (I'm trying to see how much I can do WITHOUT connecting to any other games).
