geebsI've brought this up before, but the one thing about late night programming is the lack of consistency. Yesterday, there was hardly anything on, but today there is a plethora of things to keep the telly on. I mean, TNT is showing My Best Friend's Wedding right now and its gonna be followed by A Walk to Remember! How awesome is that?! Of course, if I want to be less gay, I could be watching Ong Bak on Spike TV.
Anyhoo, tried the chili over noodles thing. Not too bad, its kinda tasty.
Hmm, playing SW2:XL today, got my first orb randomly doing a stage. Alas, it was for a ride+20. Couldn't they have given me something more useful?! I know some characters have pretty good mounted attacks, but I rarely fight on horseback. According to the boards, getting orbs through normal gameplay is totally random, though increasing the difficulty and level supposedly increases the chances. Ugh, I hate leaving things to chance. You supposedly have a better chance getting orbs by killing certain enemies in Mercenary mode, so I could try that, I suppose.
Then again, I haven't had too much trouble in the new "expert" difficulty in the lower star levels with Toshiie and Sasaki, and they're not even close to max yet. So perhaps when leveling the non-XL characters from 50 to 70 could play them on the "expert" difficulty. Have to choose the right stages though. While I have little trouble staying alive and killing enemies, its keeping those pesky allies alive that's a pain in the ass. Its like, how hard is it to stay alive?!
Owel, the game also has new "special" skills that you can use in place of your "self" skill, though the majority of them are other characters' "self" skills. "Counter" isn't one of them though. Since you can only choose one (the character's original self skill, or one of the special skills) and a lot of them are pretty much useless, it doesn't seem like there's any point in wasting money buying those up, especially when its better spent on normal skills and weapon upgrades.
