I'm glad I don't have any weddings to go to in the immediate future. There were so many for a while but I don't know anyone getting married right now. The babies keep on coming though! There are always baby showers.

i haven't been to a wedding in the longer time! last one i went to was a few years ago up at our ranch in the mountains the daughter of the guy that caretakes the ranch got married there

That sounds really cool!

my parents got married in the mountains too, i forget exaclty where but i know it was somewhere near here

I think that would be so pretty! I always thought the camp in the mountains that I worked at a while ago, would be a pretty place to get married. I thought that about the moutains where I went a few months ago too.

i love the mountains i couldn't live any place without them

I love them too! I don't know if I could live in the mountains but I like having them close by to visit and see in the distance.

Yeah, but he has to lean so far back to shut the door as gently as it was shut in the show if he were doing that with his hand.

         Julie woke the next morning in a hotel room that was not her own. This was not good. As she came more fully awake she began to remember just what had happened. She looked down and the ring on her left hand confirmed the events. She was fully awake now and glanced over to her left. There was Stephen, still asleep. "Maybe if I'm quiet enough, I can slip out and get the annulment papers and this whole thing will just be a blip on my past that I'll talk to my Bishop about," she thought to herself. She tried to move as gently as she could but she underestimated the position of the nightstand. She kicked it with her heel, setting the lamp and radio to rattling. "Drat," she said in her head. A stirring behind her told her she'd woken him up.
            "Morning," he mumbled as she turned to look at him. She did her best to smile and act like she was happy.
            "Hi," she replied. "I'm going to go, uh, freshen up." The last thing she wanted right then was Stephen getting too terribly chatty. And the sooner she got out of there the better off she'd be. Then she could get the thing annulled and they'd move on with their separate lives. She bolted to the bathroom before he could say anything. Her dress was hanging up in there and she was wearing a pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt two or three sizes too big for her. At least he'd been a gentleman and offered her something else to sleep in. She looked at her watch and realized just how close she was cutting things this morning. In a panic she changed, tried to do something with her hair but failed, and raced back out the bathroom door.
            "I've got to run. I'm supposed to drive Sarah and Gary to the airport so they don't have to pay for parking. We'll talk when I get back, ok?" With that she ran out the door, grabbing the bouquet and her purse on the way. Stephen lay on the bed, dazed and bewildered, still half asleep.
that is never good

very nice Paints!

Thanks. I'm glad that you guys aren't confused with this story. I like the way I'm revealing things after they've happened and such. It makes for more fun moments.

Not in the night out, but you might want to avoid the Bones thread if you don't want to see my emoticon reaction to the episode.

Sir Snootch · "Gamers don't sleep. They just nap between levels."

Namco Bandais Tales series has a history of marrying real-time combat and more conventional RPG storytelling. In the upcoming Tales of Vesperia, the first next-gen release for the series, new themes such as teamwork and leadership enter the mix. We spoke with producer Yoo Higuchi about the jump to new hardware, morality and, of course, humor.

Game Informer: Could you begin by giving us an overview of the story and the main characters?

Yoo Higuchi: The games two central characters are Yuri, a former knight, and Flynn, the current head of the knights. The two were childhood friends, but have since drifted apart based on ideological differences. Yuri believes in securing justice by any means necessary, even if this means going beyond the boundaries of what society has deemed to be fair. Flynn takes the opposite to this approach, following the rules and laws as dictated by the government to achieve his own brand of justice. Ironically, the two are ultimately in pursuit of the same goal, but have led to becoming intense rivals over time.

GI: How will the battle system move forward from the Linear Motion Battle System of previous installments?

Higuchi: Battles in Tales of Vesperia now take place on a larger scale than before larger battlefields, more enemies on screen at once and the potential for truly huge opponents. Aside from this increased scale, weve implemented new critical strikes, which will let players take down enemies in a single hit if the correct battle criteria are met. Were also giving players more incentive to do their best in battle by grading them on a number of factors after each fight. If they do well, this grade will award them special materials, which can then be crafted into more powerful equipment.

GI: Will the cinematics be hand-drawn, CG or a mix of the two?

Higuchi: The game will feature a combination of animated and in-engine cinematics.

GI: What aspect of the game do you think Tales fans will be the most excited about?

Higuchi: The games graphics are sure to make the biggest impression at first. The move to an HD console has allowed us to try a lot of new techniques that still capture the series warm and hand-drawn look. There are certain areas in which weve actually surpassed traditional animation and feel cant be found in other games.

GI: Will gamers see any familiar faces from other Tales games in Vesperia?

Higuchi: Yes. Although the games main story is totally new with a new cast of characters, players can still find some familiar faces in certain situations.

GI: Are there any features in the game what wouldnt have been possible using last-gen hardware?

Higuchi: The games battle system gets the biggest upgrade from the Xbox 360 hardware, allowing us to have more enemies on screen and even truly massive opponents that weve never been able to implement before.

GI: What factors drove the decision to make this game Xbox 360 exclusive?

Higuchi: The biggest reason is that we wanted to start work on an HD Tales game after finishing Tales of the Abyss, and the Xbox 360 made the most sense as a development platform for us at the time.

GI: In terms of the Tales series as a whole, how does Tales of Vesperia fit in thematically with other entries? Is it optimistic in tone, or darker? Is there still a focus on humorous moments?

Higuchi: Tales of Vesperia is not a coming of age story, but introduces new themes such as teamwork and leadership. Since its not tied to any other games in the series, were able to explore these different themes freely while adding to fan-favorite aspects such as our battle system. We are trying to appeal to a slightly older audience with this game, so a lot of what you see from a morality standpoint will be up to the player to judge on their own value system.

Of course, were still planning to utilize humor in our storytelling
