So a good while later after its release, Dark Arisen is finally being brought over to PC. With Steam support, high res graphics, and all the graphical updates one would expect from a port. It's coming next Janurary and will cost $29.99. Source Not sure if I want to triple dip as I had bought Dragon's Dogma and Dark Arisen already and spent well over 200 hours on them combined. Still, good news for anyone who hasn't picked up this gem.
Didn't notice it before but you got the Day One edition of Type-0. You can finally play Episode Duscae! Oh and you obviously know who to go to for Type-0 help. <<
Spoiler: What my first attempt at a post turned out to be [10:01:35 PM] Arch: "Fuck you, Regent." Said Baron Dahaka for absolutely no reason. He then threw his spear at the Septon in a blind rage, murdering the man in cold blood just because his face made Roshan angry. [10:02:24 PM] Arch: "Fuck you Regennnttt!" Mareth shouted in agreement, plunging his sword into Vali's side. [10:04:26 PM] Boy Wonder: YOU WISH THEY STOOD A CHANCE AGAINST SER DUSKBLADE [10:04:34 PM] Arch: "Fuck you Regent!" Baritus came crashing through the window to- Baritus frowned when his companion laughed at his idea and narrowed his eyes at Lark. He though his own idea seemed straightforward enough to work but it just happened that straightforward was not how things were to be done in these strange lands. His eyes shot straight up at the castle's towers once more as he tried to comprehend how many it would take to secure such a vast structure and just what kind of spells would have been place to ward against intruders. It certainly must have been more complex than the Wall's defenses as it was the only thing comparable to the castle he could think of. "Well then. Why don't we pose as servants? I've noticed those pompous ones you call nobility and knights seem to ignore them." Even as he said it he could only imagine Lark laughing at his ignorance once more as his only dealings with "upper class" were limited to a one-time observation at a town they had stopped for a rest two days previously. Baritus touched his head, feeling his horns, and wondered if any disguise would properly hide them. Cutting them off was obviously not an option. -------------------------------------- Naza would have taken it as an insult to be placed on such a menial task, when compared to standing by her lord's side of course, but she simply could not refuse him. To do so would bring dishonor and immediate termination from her position as one of Lord Rybalte's guard. Still, try as she might, the lone Ronso could not make heads or tails of her lord's command yet still had to vow to do exactly as he directed her lest she be replaced by another. She was to stay near the castle but not enter it, a strange enough order on its own but stranger still knowing that Rybalte had refused to arrive the meeting nor send any ambassador on his behalf. Even Naza was told not to bring herself to the presence of the Regent and Queen in his stead. She had been trailing a long wide circle around the castle with no way of knowing when she should stop and return home to report to her lord. Even now his instructions were hazy at best to her. Perhaps it was a test of patience. Or perhaps it was a cruel joke. Or even worse, it was Rybalte's way of getting rid of her. She crossed a dirt road as her path led her to a part of King's Landing she recognized was known for its ruffians. Her walk had brought her farther from the castle than she believed was best and could now just barely see its towers overlooking a nearby shop.

Happy birthday!
I've got another two years or so to go. Maybe less. ...For my Masters degree anyways. c:
Music pretty much requires me to have a physical copy, no matter how expensive it is. Or at least get the option to download an album in FLAC. I prefer games to be physical and also physical but for PC I think digital is the only way to go. As for books and movies...well, I don't see myself wasting hard drive space or whatnot for a movie I'll watch maybe twice. Books on the other hand I'd also go for physical. I like how hardcovers look. Plus it's awesome to be able to look at my collection of school books and see my many math, physics, and engineering books lined up against each other. Selling books you used in classes for your field of study should only ever be done if you're desperate for money or if the book was really terrible. Dammit it's cool being able to have reference books lying around and it's less cool to have them on a tablet or something.
"Try not to die on our way to your Queen. I would hate to have gone this far South in vain. I hold no hope of going through with this on my own." Baritus's eyes fell on a food merchant selling brightly colored fruits he had never seen before. North of the Wall most of what grew were edible roots and perhaps a single type of grass used for flavoring meat and even that was poisonous if too much was used. As the two began to round the corner of the coming street, a magnificent stone tower began to come into view far larger than any other structure, save for the Wall, he had seen in his recent travels with Lark. Baritus's eyes widened in awe. "Could we not sneak in? Something so large could surely not be defended at every corner." ------------------------------------ "With all due respect, Lord Baron Dahaka and Ambassador Arrior, we need not require Baron Rybalte's presence in order to keep peace between our houses. Baron Rybalte has done much to explain his intentions by merely being absent. It is quite obvious he intends to use his defiance as a show of dominance as he was more than aware of tensions running high between Houses Ragnarok and Valefor. If we were to disband this meeting because he is not here we would only be validating his actions." Mareth Anima, Hand of the King, leaned forward as he scratched his graying beard. "As Regent Garmond explained, we are not gathered here to conspire against Ragnarok nor are we here to begin talks of war." "Tell us then, Mareth, why are we here if not to exchange pleasantries and discuss what this meeting is not about?" Roshan spoke up impatiently with a strong hint of annoyance in his voice after the Regent's comment about the Mad King. Mareth relaxed in his chair and looked the Baron's way. "Simply put, Baron Rybalte's next action will be to seek alliance with either House Anima or House Dahaka as they have in the past. If Rybalte sees that both Houses refuse his offer House Ragnarok's aggression will die down and our absent Lord," he looked at Rybalte's empty seat, "will be more inclined to work willingly to keep peace in Ivalice leading for us all to prosper." Roshan glanced over at Ambassador Whisk Arrior, eyeing the young man who appeared too eager for war and believing him too hot-headed to trust with such a delicate matter. "I see. Keep the blade from a man's hand and he will break bread with you." "Precisely. That is what we are hoping for." Mareth clasped his hands together his armor clinking as he shifted in his seat. "We cannot allow for further loss of life with yet another war. Scars of that decade-long war will last for generations to come. In five years we have barely managed to begun healing after the War with the East and yet another war would only break our beloved home of Ivalice. Please, do not give into Baron Rybalte's anger and allow war to claim our lands when it is within our power to be tactful and allow diplomacy to reign." Mareth spoke with such candor that even the even Baron Dahaka's cynicism was broken.
He flies the right direction.
Red eyes followed after a horse-pulled wagon filled to a hefty pile of roots and greens. Though he was more fond of meat it was hard to resist such an openly displayed assortment of food. The surplus of food was certainly far more interesting than the hustle and bustle of the so-called King's Landing. The name itself made little sense to him as kings did not, in fact, arrive to King's Landing and instead simply lived there. "There's nothing like this back home. The people are fat. It's little wonder that this place is popular." Baritus lowered his head and tugged his loose cloak's hood forward to better cover his horns as a passing soldier walked by. He resisted the urge to reach for his blade strapped to his hip. It was too damn hot south of the Wall and he wished to be rid of the ridiculous garments he wore as soon as he possibly could. He turned his head to eye his companion and raised an eyebrow. "How is your condition? Do you need to rest?" --------------------------------------------- Baron Dahaka leaned back in his seat in amusement at the thought of the Queen skipping a meeting to care for her son the King. The entire gathering was nothing more than a waste of time, an excuse for a bunch of lords and nobles to puff out their chests and make demands of the most unreasonable kind. Roshan's eyes locked for a moment with the armored man seated to the right of the Regent. It was the Hand of the King, Mareth Anima. An honorable man who spoke little and had a reputation for being just. Naturally, the man was not fond of Roshan. Just as the Baron opened his mouth to jest that the Regent should have been the one taking care of the child so the Queen could be there instead, the sellsword ambassador of Anima spoke up with talk of war. As history reminded him, whenever a war occurred the larger houses of Valefor and Ragnarok would always attempt to seek alliance with Dahaka and Anima, doing their best to win them over and drag them into wars that were not theirs to fight. "High tensions and empty seats do not make a war," he spoke sternly. Roshan's eyes fell back upon the Regent. "That said, without Baron Rybalte it seems unreasonable for us to be present. Perhaps you are in luck, Duskblade, and the Baron decided prayer was more beneficial for his people than bloodshed."
One reason why I picked you.
*applauds*
Is your enter key broken? XD I'm accepting it. I'll just have to edit it when I bring it into the first post to make it easier to read. Anyways, this thing's starting soon. The RP thread will more than likely be unlocked tomorrow.
Well at least during the wait we won't have to worry about Japan getting it in 2016 and everyone else having to wait months for a release. The game's getting a simultaneous release. Source
Considering the renewed interest in this RP, yes. Post your character soon! Seems like we have enough people interested to revive this thing. Talk about a postmortem. You'll be edited in soon and @Boy Wonder and I will get this thing opened up for RPing within the week.
Something a little more somber.
[color=royalblue]You had one job, Krowley![/color]
Doesn't look like all the votes were reset. I know I didn't vote in this thread specifically and mine is still there. And now I can't add a vote. B( Edit: Or maybe I did vote and forgot...but I'm sure I didn't...hm...
Pssst. That trailer was already posted. =p
