HAPAIN+?

Hercules? Hades Armor? Confoozed.  

Welcome to various people who are here etc. etc. 

Don't worry about versus topics- we don't like them either. People who propogate that kind of fluff really don't last long here...

Bio- I too like the occasional anime. Your avatar shows me that you have good taste in at least one.  

NOTE: You don't have to be HARDCORE about GoW to be accepted here, I certainly made it through just fine simply being an agreeable/not spamtacular/not idiotic casual member for a while. BUT- we will certainly like you MOAR if you're serious about it.

MrSK: I don't know if I'll be picking up GoW again in the next couple weeks or not. I expect not but we can hope. I'm only bringing two games for my PS2 with me as I go back home, one of them being GoWII of course, but the other is Budokai Tenkaichi 3, so play time for GoW may be very limited... 

Bah. Another new person who's passed me (I'm still on the Translator). Well, good luck. You certainly are past the hardest of it- definitely don't underestimated the ER (Endurance Run if you're unfamiliar with GoWII lingo- the gauntlet of battles pre-Clotho). 

Although you've beaten something that I haven't, don't discount my advice entirely- even if I can't do it myself, I've been around the vets long enough to know the tricks, and I certainly have my own style and way to deal with things.

Good luck though! I suspect that with your experience it shouldn't be long before you move on. Do I see a GK:TM:NUR in your future? 

Not in GoW unfortunately.

In Ninja Gaiden II I have made it up to the Amazonian Death Worm (damn it all) on my Aco NUR+. Only broke one controller between Chapter 5 (where I was at my last update) and now. Completed all Tests of Valor successfully. (Mech Ninja/Rocket Ninja ToV was rather PAINful)
