Okay...since you seem to think you'll learn more about the game by some arbitrary number than by people's detailed opinions...

    <body>When I first came to Kongregate I never talked in chat. I just wanted to play games, not listen to people talk about Halo or how much they hated school. Eventually after I'd been around the site for a little while I'd occasionally speak up to help people with game questions. As time went by and I got to recognizing some of the chat regulars, I started weighing in on some of the discussions. These days, while I'm not the most talkative guy in the chat, I join in on conversations often. I might even be a regular!

So, why am I going over my life story? Because if your idea had been around when I joined the site, I never would have gotten involved in the community at all. Surely I'm not the only one. Better to have half the room be quiet and give them a chance to get interested than there to be half as many people in the room and the rest lost.</body>

    <body>I really like the new page, but it would be really nice to be able to save a preferred default setting. I dunno about everyone else, but I don't ever go to the badges page to see what I've done, I do it for quick access to games I still need badges on. The old layout was great for that because it was separate, now I have to take the extra step to filter it.

It's not really a big deal--shucks, I wasted an extra second of my life--but it'd be nice to have on the to-do list.</body>

&lt;p&gt;flash games started by fans for &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FREE&lt;/span&gt;, now greedy people are trying to make all flash games paid for only, or only get best items via microtransactions&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

    <body>The ads will show up on all sorts of sites. I ended up getting that thing on my laptop and every site I went had the Vimax ads all over it. Never saw a Vimax ad before I got it, haven't seen one since.

If you're seeing Vimax ads, you've got it, don't even worry about checking another computer. Malwarebytes got rid of it for me.</body>

    <body>There's a couple nearly identical games that fit your description.

&quot;1 Will Survive&quot;:http://www.kongregate.com/games/box10Guys/1-will-survive
&quot;Blade of Innocence&quot;:http://www.kongregate.com/games/jonardkid/blade-of-innocence

And probably more, but those were the first two I found.</body>

    <body>I haven't played it so feel free to take my comments with a grain of salt, but I don't think Mushihimesama Futari looks _that_ hard. It looks impressive because of all the bullets, but they look like relatively simple patterns. Tough? Yeah. Takes practice? Yup. Hardest boss ever? Well...I dunno. I'll have to play it.

Omega Rugal still gives me nightmares though.</body>

    <body>1. Chrono Cross. - IMO this is the best overall game soundtrack there is.
2. Suikoden. - If I had to pick one it'd probably be 2, but they all have good music
3. Touhou. - Spanning over a dozen games with consistently strong music.
4. Final Fantasy VI. - Whole series really, but this one stands out.
5. Ys. - One of the first game series' to really put the production values into its music, and its very, very good.

I'm gonna throw out an honorable mention to WoW here too. It's not so much that the soundtrack is that great, but it's the only MMO I've played where I can say it has decent enough music that I don't always shut it off.</body>

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m gonna throw out an honorable mention to WoW here too. It&amp;#8217;s not so much that the soundtrack is that great, but it&amp;#8217;s the only &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;MMO&lt;/span&gt; I&amp;#8217;ve played where I can say it has decent enough music that I don&amp;#8217;t always shut it off.&lt;/p&gt;</body-html>

&quot;Am I here to play games, or am I here to see &quot;You win!&quot; screens?&quot;

If it's the latter, there's always Photoshop.</body>

    <body>bq. P.S dont get FF war of the lions on PSP, total let down with all the coll abd powerful classes only acessible buy the coms team, only a few ppl that u can get that can becaome these classes.(e.g white knight,divine knight, fell knight , cleric &#8230;..)

Dear god, why would you want it to be even _easier_?

Tactics and 6 are my favorites. That's the original Tactics, the one that War of the Lions is a port/re-localization of, not those GBA abominations.</body>

    <body>I'm giving Dungeon Fighter a whirl because I heard the PvP was decent. Only played it once so far but aside from it being legions of identical-looking characters, it seems alright. It's an online beat 'em up very similar to Capcom's Dungeons &amp; Dragons games, or Knights of the Round.

bq. In quality, the best is Wow hands down. The only reason people won&#8217;t like it is because of the cost.

There are plenty of reasons not to like it besides the cost. Take the blinders off your eyes. It _is_ one of the better MMOs on the market, but its got its fair share of problems.</body>

    <body>That depends on what you're asking. If it's, &quot;Are there any sites with a community that will play an .exe game I've created&quot;, then, probably. You could just upload the game to Mediafire or Rapidshare and look for a forum for game development, and that could point you in a good direction.

If you're asking, &quot;Are there any game portals like Kongregate or Newgrounds that I can easily upload my .exe game to and let people play it easily and conveniently&quot;, then.......no. I hope I don't need to explain why.</body>

    <body>bq. 17. Dungeon Escape - Don't let this game's bad animation, and overall mediocre appearance fool you. Dungeon Escape is a very unique game where escaping the dungeon means

Escaping the dungeon means....you're awesome? Escaping the dungeon means...bringing me a sandwich? What is it man?!

lol at Nanaca Crash. Sooo much time wasted, years ago.

A few really good choices in here (Sprout, Inquisitive Dave), a few questionable ones (The Next Floor, Microbe Combat (seriously?!)), but pretty good list.</body>

    <body>Your review, while well-written and informative, suffers from a problem that will generally cause you to get fewer positive reactions than the usual &quot;i liek sonny cuz hes a zombies are cool&quot; sort of review:

Wall of Text Syndrome.

Ease up on the little details. Be concise. Maybe consider a few more line breaks.

For an example, the paragraph on character creation. A casual reader with a passing interest in the game doesn't need to know about the sub-groups of classes and which class belongs in each one. Touch on the classes, talk about the variety, don't worry so much about the minutiae. You can save some lines here.

Not to dump on the review though--it's good enough, and as I like DDO I'm glad to see exposure. Consider some more aggressive editing in the future is all.</body>

    <body>Just to add to the fun:

I just got access at 43.

- I did not recieve access after Evil to the East
- I haven't even started Rosie's Map
- I do not have Jona's quests finished.
- I have not completed Into the Fire. I don't even have Into the Fire.
- My most recently completed quest is Sneak Attack! Then I tried Bittersweet Revenge and got crushed.
- I also recently completed Fatal Fortress, although I checked immediately afterwards and didn't have access.

I think its random. =P</body>

    <body>Got the 20x Godlike badge before I even got the easy badge. I haven't even finished the campaign and this game has overstayed its welcome.

I found it a lot easier to use divebombs as the spammed attack for racking up the combo. I think mine was, when enemies were coming from both sides: 18 Divebombs, Stun Attack, Charge Attack one side, Leap Attack the other, Teleport. As long as you've got the 20x combo, you don't need to combo off the Teleport, just save it for last and it'll count as the Godlike.</body>

Dear god, man, line breaks. Why do you hate our eyes?!

Actually the Swift blade isn't a bad idea, but I'm not sure if its practical on Epic. The hydra comes to mind as where it would make the biggest difference (chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp DEAD), but in that case it's also really nice to have the Rune Blade equipped to Seal the heads. You could switch to the Swift blade after both heads are sealed, but that eats a turn, and then you'd eat another turn switching back to reapply the Seal.

Might be worth trying though. Boosted Wind Slash would probably be good for damaging both heads at once, too.</body>

    <body>Both heads of the Hydra can be Blinded and Sealed, which makes them much easier to fight. I started the fight by Unleashing with the Rune Sword and casting Flare so I could shut them down as fast as possible. Blind has an iffy success rate though. I had one fight where it didn't work at all, and rarely got both of them blinded at once.

Still, considering that on the one hand, if you don't Seal them they'll use their instant death attacks, and if you do, they'll use physical attacks that sometimes bring you from full HP to dead in one round, I'd say it's worth trying.</body>
