3DS, Vita, PS3, blah blah blah...

TGS is right around the corner, and as well, Nintendo's own convention/press conference whatever it is, is right around the corner. I don't get what's with this pro-support thing that happens between all of the above consoles. If it comes out on the 3DS, sure. Vita? Great. PS3? Great. I suppose I'm indifferent since I have all the consoles, and many people are supporting their own consoles that they own. Added to the fact that some people can't afford other consoles and would be bitter and disappointed that other consoles may get Monster Hunter instead of their own.

Personally, I would prefer it on any console but the 3DS. I like the 3DS, but I don't think it's an impressive piece of hardware. It's 3D screen is impressive, but the hardware in general is pretty unspectacular. There are some good ideas such as the street pass, the analog stick/nub is nice, and it's aesthetically a good design. However, there are a lot of short comings which remind me of the first PSP hardware release.

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd e-Capcom version

So I got the e-Capcom version of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd which comes with some limited edition Jinouga inner earphones, a PSP carry bag, a phone/PSP charm, and ...the game. So what you see in this photo, is part of the bag, but the new felyne figures are some out of the box figure collection. It's definitely NOT part of the e-Capcom LE for 3rd, but I figure I'd just shoot a picture of these guys anyway.

It's a hunter's life

A bunch of us got together yesterday and played a good amount of Monster Hunter. There was candy, pizza, and Conan The Destroyer involved. It was a humble get together that was reminiscent of the days of youth, except there were 4 grown men having the get together instead.

The Monster Hunter group IS getting larger though. Many people couldn't make it due to some summer plans, but they will be there next time. They WILL.



Oh yeah, we tried kicking a low rank Great Jaggi to death but got impatient after 40 minutes of kicking. After awhile, it was just muscle memory, but it was one of the most exhausting quests we've done in awhile. We then just got tired and hit it with our weapons. Kudos to Shepard and crew for keeping it real in podcast episode #29 (they actually pull it off).
