The UK box is even BETTER than the Japanese one!

I'm supposed to be saving for an arcade stick, but this is more important, right?

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 3 February 2006 10:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 3 February 2006 10:27 (eighteen years ago) link

We saw one at the V & A museum!

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Friday, 3 February 2006 10:35 (eighteen years ago) link

gah why did i choose 3 day delivery service! i won't have mine until next week.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 3 February 2006 10:47 (eighteen years ago) link

AMAZING!!

as i finished posting that - guess what the mail woman has just planted on my lap?

I love you Amazon!!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 3 February 2006 10:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Doh! Well neither will I, if that's any consolation. It's not going to sell out everywhere is it?

xpost, lucky sod!

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 3 February 2006 10:52 (eighteen years ago) link

and i will be able to sample it at lunch time when i go home, but i just got a text off a mate inviting me out for drinks tonight so i won't be able to get addicted to it. best not to turn it on after work then.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 3 February 2006 11:08 (eighteen years ago) link

ha! this is great, gotta love that music. I couldn't put it down at lunchtime and was late getting back for work.

Soooo have to resist playing it before I go out tonight.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 3 February 2006 16:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Hey guys, guess what game I'm booting up that doesn't belong to me.

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 3 February 2006 18:08 (eighteen years ago) link

the original ghostbusters game?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 3 February 2006 18:24 (eighteen years ago) link

my friend just got this. i won't be able to try it for at least 5 days tho >:O

― W i l l (common_person), Friday, 3 February 2006 18:33 (eighteen years ago) link

This is great, but I can't play it any more THIS WEEKEND as my son has come from his mothers' with instructions he's not allowed ANYTHING ELECTRONIC as punishment.

Parenting sucks.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Friday, 3 February 2006 18:33 (eighteen years ago) link

OMG s1ocki, how did you know!?

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 3 February 2006 18:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Bahhh, it's going now. No more Katamari for.. four days?

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 3 February 2006 19:00 (eighteen years ago) link

And blimey aldo, that's a harsh punishment! What did he do that warrants spending a whole weekend playing noughts and crosses in the dark?

― melton mowbray (adr), Friday, 3 February 2006 19:27 (eighteen years ago) link

Apparently she came back in and found him playing his DS when he was already serving a 1 day ban. Harsh but fair, I suppose.

I JUST WISH IT DIDN'T AFFECT ME ON THE RELEASE DAY OF KATAMARI.

CAN'T... STOP... PLAYING...

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Sunday, 5 February 2006 17:48 (eighteen years ago) link

So i rolled up to the sun today.

That Bird level is just the most amazing thing ever, it just gets bigger and bigger and doesn't seem to want to stop.

Love it all! Apart from the campfire mission which bugs me a bit.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 6 February 2006 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

okay it's the best game ever made but is it worth paying £35 to play on a friend's PS2? n.b. this is more than i have paid for any game since the dreamcast died

― tom west (thomp), Monday, 6 February 2006 11:34 (eighteen years ago) link

lolz at PAL

― A BOLD QUAHOG (ex machina), Monday, 6 February 2006 11:47 (eighteen years ago) link

pretty much all current-gen games come with a 60hz option so eh

well, they used to

― tom west (thomp), Monday, 6 February 2006 12:49 (eighteen years ago) link

JON OTM. Is it really worth playing games in squashed slow motion just for a few extra lines?

If I don't buy this tomorrow, I'm going to be sort of upset with myself. I suppose tonight I should play killer7 through and get all the creepy-nasty-sweary stuff out of my head for Katamari.

hey, i rolled up the sun on the same day!

― sunny successor (katharine), Monday, 6 February 2006 14:19 (eighteen years ago) link

and I've played this all day today.

So someone has to help me, where the heck are the last 100 cranes on that origami level. I've been in every classroom and the locker room and still can't get much more than 900!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 6 February 2006 21:34 (eighteen years ago) link

| Starting Room.................................................152
| Hallway.......................................................454
| Bathroom......................................................153
| Third Room....................................................120
| Second Room...................................................121

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Monday, 6 February 2006 22:34 (eighteen years ago) link

third room?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Monday, 6 February 2006 22:39 (eighteen years ago) link

There are three different rooms on one side of the hall and a bathroom on the other side.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Monday, 6 February 2006 23:22 (eighteen years ago) link

what are you supposed to do during the end credits?

― shadeball (chaki), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 00:13 (eighteen years ago) link

masterbate

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 05:17 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll have to have another look for that room, I'm sure my version doesn't have it etc etc

most satisfying multi-roll so far - the huge wooden fence at the zoo made up of individual logs.

Actually the third campfire mission is pretty good.

and where does it tell you how many more cousins you need to get? it seems like i have loads at the moment.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 09:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Has anybody else seen these official Katamari shirts?

No shipping to UK, unfortunately, but perhaps if some US ilXorz felt kindly towards us Brits...

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 11:22 (eighteen years ago) link

actually i really like that 'User' panic shirt, but it was sold out.

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 12:01 (eighteen years ago) link

I could do without the king popping up in the middle of the play area screen actually

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 13:25 (eighteen years ago) link

do you mean the loading when he shows you how to get to new areas or when he comments on what you've rolled up? the latter was really pissing me off in the beginning.

i like when he shows the way to new areas. i seemed to get lost a lot in katamari damacy

― sunny successor (katharine), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 14:52 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah when he pops up and tells you about things you've rolled into, especially on the racing car level when he appears telling you how the katamari moves by itself EVERY TIME! I didn't mind the level loading either, when he shows where to head for next can be useful in frantic times.

i got just over 1,600m and it's still saying i can do bigger. wtf!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:36 (eighteen years ago) link

you can roll up the king around 3000m! i saw the queen once too, but haven't managed to get her.

― inert false cat (sleep), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 15:43 (eighteen years ago) link

eff ing hell!

― Ste (Fuzzy), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 16:18 (eighteen years ago) link

it drives me crazy when the king shows up and makes bad jokes in the middle of the level and you can't see for shit

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 7 February 2006 16:27 (eighteen years ago) link

heheh, watching you guys discover this stuff is amazingly cute.
