The Last Story Gets a Limited Edition
Hironobu Sakaguchi’s newest game, The Last Story, is getting a pretty neat limited edition. All copies of the game’s first printing will include a soft-cover art book and display box. This almost makes up for the fact that North America didn’t get the sweet Xenoblade limited edition with the red Classic Controller Pro.

New Mega Man X Tee and Bitboi Sticker Packs from Bitmap’d.
Our friends over at Bitmap’d just released their latest tee, “Reploid X”, and two fresh new sticker packs featuring their Bitboi mascot dressed up as classic characters from games that their t-shirts are inspired by. While each sticker is awesome, Ash Ketchum one is clearly the awesomest.
Shin Megami Tensei IV 4 the IIIDS
See what I did there? Atlus have announced that they’ve begun working on the next numerical installment of their SMT series. The previous numbered MegaTen game was Nocture, one of the best RPGs games for the PS2. It was re-printed a few years ago by a company that insists on lowering my game collection’s value, so if you’ve never played Nocturne, do it now. It’s like Pokémon on bath salts.
Dragon Quest X Keyboard Looks Goo-ed
I’m not really planning on getting Dragon Quest X since I haven’t played IX yet, but I would like to trade in my Mini Medals for some of the game’s accessories. I’ll probably pick up the neat-o thumbdrive, and if I’m feeling awfully silly I might grab this ridiculous keyboard. It will cost about $50 but the stares from my coworkers will be priceless.

A Little Bit On The Leeroy Jenkins Side: Leeroy Jenkins as a bank heist. What if the viral World of Warcraft video from 2005 was a caper instead of a dungeon raid? This video was conceived by doug & serge inc. and directed by Finn O’Hara for the CFC Worldwide Short Film Festival taking place June 5 -10, 2012.

A Little Bit on the Jet Set Radio x Albotasquid Side: I was checking out the entries for Sega’s Jet Set Radio graffiti contest and noticed something black and blue and eight-legged. FamousAfterDeath submitted an entry featuring our Albotasquid. He didn’t win, but he totally should have.

A Little Bit on the ‘Your Patch Needs a Patch’ Side: I usually wait until a game gets a physical release with all the DLC before I buy, but with all the hubub about the game’s ending, I picked up Mass Effect 3 when it was on sale a few weeks ago. The game had a glitch where players couldn’t import their custom characters’ faces if they were created in ME1 like mine (as opposed to ME2). But I heard that Bioware had patched the issue so I didn’t worry. Well, I finally threw the game in yesterday, let the 360 apply the patches, and guess what. My face is still broken.
I checked out Bioware’s support forums and it looks like the patch fixed the problem for most players but not all. It’s been about a month since this has been discovered but Bioware haven’t even acknowledged the problem. Good thing I’ve invested 80 hours into this character.
Now that consoles are almost always connected to the Internet, there’s no escaping the mentality of “ship now, patch later,” so I tend not to complain. But when your patches don’t even fix the problem I tend to regret giving you my $40.
