Resistance Retribution for PSP is probably the best online game for that platform, though I'm looking for more. I may give that portable Little Big Planet a chance when it's released.

And as for PS3, I only have Fifa 09 (lol included with console) and BlazBlue. Haven't tried online yet because I am still not in shape to give a good fight.

  <forum-post creator_id="22887" creator="VorpalNeko" title="Tag Change Proposal" parent_id="" body="As of now, [[dvd_cover]] is that the tag that is used for dvd, cd, and blu-ray covers.  What I am proposing is that a new tag be created to replace dvd_cover so that the tag better reflects that it contains these three types of covers instead of just dvd covers.

Possible suggestions for the new tag are media_cover or cover.  I'm looking for opinions as to whether either of these tags are a good replacement for dvd_cover, or if there really is a need for a new tag." id="5811"/>

  <forum-post creator_id="30003" creator="MirrorMagpie" title="Pixiv Spider" parent_id="" body="The idea came up of a way to sort through pixiv's artists. One possible way is through a web crawler(web spider).

So the general layout of how it could work:

[b]Step 1[/b] It runs through each artist by using member_illust.php?id=xxxxx
[b]Step 2[/b] It browses every image the artist has uploaded. It then evaluates the image's 'utility' based on score, users, views whatever. If an image has a high enough 'utility'(score, etc.), it makes a note of it.
[b]Step 3[/b] If an artists is found to have enough images with a high 'utility', say 3 or more' it will record the artist in a text file. Otherwise it ignores the artist.
[b]Step 4[/b] It moves on to the next artist by incrementing xxxxx by 1.
[b]Step 5[/b] It has gone through all the artists and left us with only the ones we are interested in.

Roughly what the pseudocode might look like:
[spoiler=Pseudocode]
for (artistID = startID; artistID &lt; endID; artistID++)      //Cycle artists
-----        for each illustration            //Cycle through illustrations
--------               if criteriaMet = true      //Evaluate image
-----------                      utility++
-----         end loop
-----         if utility &gt;= targetUtility       //Evaluate artist
--------                recordArtist()
-----         utility = 0
end loop

  <forum-post creator_id="30003" creator="MirrorMagpie" title="Monochrome Doujinshi" parent_id="" body="So I have quite a few monochrome doujinshi scanned, several thousand monochrome images in total. Since there's a debate right now about what should be on the site, I felt the need to ask: Are they needed?

Currently, I've been pooling doujinshi and showing only the color cover page in the index (ex: {{pool:1153}}). However, it seems that very few people notice that the cover is part of the pool, and so no one really sees the rest. If that's the case, and it just drains storage space, then maybe it's better not to have them.

So should I show them in the index but release them slow, keep doing what I'm doing, or scrap the monochromes all together?

Regardless, I'll still upload all the full color doujin/artbooks, this only relates to monochrome." id="5704"/>

[[magazine scan]] - 309 uses.  I'd say at least half of the posts on the site are from magazines, and this tag isn't very useful.

[[spread]] - 111 uses.  I know what a magazine spread is, but it seems to be applied to a bunch of other posts that are just in landscape format.

[[pinup]] - 404 uses.  I'm taking this to be posters that you're meant to hang up on your wall.  No one seems to use this anymore.

[[stick poster]] on the other hand is still used often, and I guess it's helpful to find images with that ratio." id="3575"/>

I'm the developer of Danbooru Client, a client application for KDE that uses the Danbooru API to access boards such as this one. Recently I've been looking into integrating pools support, so that pools could be easily queryable from the interface.
Actually, I can do that just fine (pool/index.xml or pool/index.json work): the issue is when I want to get the post listing. Neither pool/list.xml nor pool/list.json seem to be present (404). 
Am I doing something wrong? Were they removed intentionally (notice that I have no problem with that)? Is the API documentation outdated?

Perhaps this idea is old and maybe it&#8217;s not very good, but I&#8217;d like to put it forth anyways. I think that it would be really cool to have suggestions of pictures that you might like that could then be ordered in the usual ways (random, score, etc).
My goal is to go beyond using tags to find new stuff.

One way that I think this could be done: your favorites could be compared to other users and you would be directed to some common favorites amongst users with similar preferences. I would be very willing to help with this project. My strongest language is Java and I know some C, HTML, and CSS, but I&#8217;d be willing to learn whatever it takes to do the project (SQL? and ???).

#1: The game's platform is the NES [Nintendo Entertainment System].

#2: The character is a doctor...a sleep walking one.

#3: You don't actually control the sleepwalking doctor.

#4: What you control are the platforms that can help him...they can also kill him if you make a mistake.

#5: The platforms that I believe are pipes...although that may not exactly be it.

#6: I do know there are two different pairs of platforms that you can control that raise or lowers them...they are two different colors.

#7: Green platforms are controlled by pushing the [A] button while the Red Platforms uses the [B] button.

#8: I don't know whether they are those EXACT colors but I know there are two different colors. If there are more...then I do not know of them since I haven't completed the game.

#9: The way the game is setup is like a puzzle maze...at least that's how I think of it.

#10: You must help the sleepwalking doctor make it to the goal by controlling the platforms. Since the doctor is sleepwalking, the game is like a horizontal side-scroller starting from left to the goal at the right.

#11: You must think fast of when to raise the platforms or lower them for him since he doesn't stop at all...he's sleepwalking after all...although there are ways you can stop him in his sleepwalking path with the platforms. That can prove helpful.
On higher levels, timing the platforms as well as planning ahead on what to do is key. The games levels are like puzzles and you must think and figure out on getting the doctor to the goal in one piece with the platforms.

EDIT:
#12: I remember that there were enemies to stop you.

Well that is all I remember. I hope those details help you in naming that game for me. Part of me of being a gamer is beating the games I have played. Since I haven't completed that game in the past, I really want to do it now by using an Emulator. I recently had a dream about it and I now have the urge to search for it and play it.

Until I await my November Reserved games which is COD Modern Warfare 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Naruto SCONRevolution 3 (Shame that R-Type Tactics 2 is pushed back to February 2010. Hopefully they have the time to make a English version when that gets released), I want to start playing the games of my past and that game is one of them.

So please - anyone - help me?

THIS LOGITECH WIRELESS KEYBOARD F*CKING SUCKS!!!!
I have to constantly re-check my words here since some buttons don't respond in inputting sometimes. The mouse is just as worse at times. You can't be too far OR too close to the wireless catcher...thingy. Anyone got a better wireless keyboard and mouse you can suggest to me?

Edit x2:
Having trouble location on how to put some words (In this case, the details) in color in the help section. This just has to do.

Editx3:
Game has been named.
The game's name is Gyromite and I was playing Game B.
