-ahem- I've decided to replay Pokemon Emerald, and so far I've beaten Roxanne. My current team so far is:

Combusken Lv16
Ralts Lv13
Slakoth Lv12

Any suggestion as to what 'mons I should get next? I also need a good Water-type whose name isn't Milotic, Gyarados (stupid Atk/SpAtk by type division...), or Kyogre.

Maybe it's time to stop milking the shit out of Star Wars?

Other developers, take note, this is what happens when you axe your creativity department.  You become Lucas Arts, one of the worst cases of executive meddling there is...and, yes, I'm including the clusterfuck that is EA.

I hate seeing stuff like that, after playing so many LucasArts adventure games that were simply amazing.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

I remember back in the day when LucasArts used to put out astounding games.  No, we're reduced to how much they can squeeze from their dying cash cow.

Though I must admit, one thing Star Wars always seemed to be lacking was The Village People. It's good that someone finally decided to fix such a glaring flaw.

Is this better or worse than the Star Wars Christmas Special?

I haven't either, but I must admit, the idea of Star Wars themed dance-offs is really growing on me. Hell, it's the most creative thing anyone's done with Star Wars since, well, fucking ever. It's a positive breath of fresh air to see the characters resolving their differences in ways that don't involve space battles, blaster shootouts and/or lightsaber duels.

In other words, it's reached "So bad it's great" territory. ;D

God no, it's the very embodiment of "so bad it's great". Hell, if "so bad it's great" were to make it into the dictionary, the description would simply say "See Star Wars Kinect: Galactic Dance-off".

Anyone here played Dragon's Dogma?  It looks like it could be interesting, but I'm on the fence about it.

I've heard it's a mediocre game.

Which probably means it's a good, even great game but doesn't fit what the hipster game community wants.

One of the most common comparisons I've heard is like a cross between Skyrim and Dark Souls which is what got me interested in the first place, but the reviews I've seen tend to be all over the place.

I'm interested because of the draconic antagonist who looks fucking awesome and kinda sexy.

I'm kinda hoping that it ends up being a "Fuck destiny, let's work together" thing, but I doubt it ever would because "reptiles are abhorrent".  Unfortunately, I don't have the system it's for...
