The bottom line is that if you loved the original Disgaea, chances are you will love Disgaea 2 with a burning passion.
Its difficulty and sometimes confusing nature continues to keep the game from being appropriate for newcomers to the genre itself, but memorable characters and dialog, deceptively deep mechanics, and a promise of future sequels make this series, the flagship of Nippon Ichi and NIS America, one of the crowning achievements of this console generation.
Nippon Ichi's games are good but Disgaea is undeniably the best. While some might begrudge the ostensible dumbing down with the return to grids and more tightly controlled play (there's no chucking enemies off the maps into oblivion or picking up map furniture as impromptu weaponry here) in reality this makes the game more accessible, more easily understood and ultimately more fun.
Like its predecessor, Disgaea 2 isn't for everyone. If sinking 40-plus hours into a game just to see the basic ending and none of the secret or hidden content doesn't appeal to you, feel free to pass on by. But if dropping dozens of hours into leveling up for the sake of having obscenely powerful characters sounds good, or you're looking for some fun tactical battles and a clever story, I can't recommend this highly ennough. [Sept. 2006, p.92]
This is an intimidating prospect for the casual PS2 gamer, but a worthwhile purchase for anyone who derived any pleasure from any tactical RPG on any platform. [Oct 2006, p.122]
Disgaea 2 is ultimately about the characters you create, the battles you fight, the equipment you improve, and the party you level up and kit out. Like many of the best games -- Civilization, X-Com, Diablo, Pirates -- Disgaea 2 is about the story you create in the playing.
Putting an estimate on how many hours you would need to devote to the game to complete everything is both pointless and a little scary to imagine, but we dare say that someone out there in a very dimly lit room will be attempting it. Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories is a joy to behold, you can dip into it for a short time or lose several years of your life.
Anyone who's played "Fire Emblem" or the original Disgaea must know by now that this is a must-own strategy/RPG.
A SRPG player's dream. A person could spend hours just wandering around the item worlds leveling up characters and items, or one could just go straight through the game without turning back.
It comes to gameplay Disgaea 2 is far superior to any of NI's previous works.
This is a solid contender for RPG of the year (along with "Oblivion" and the unreleased "Final Fantasy XII"), and is easily the best SRPG to come along since Disgaea itself, if not Final Fantasy Tactics.
If you are a serious player then another slice of deep role-playing may be appropriate, personally I didn't feel devoid of this in my life (God knows I felt I could still squeeze more out of the original instalment!) enough to need Disagea 2, but then again I do also review a wide-ranging portfolio of games, those who purely RPG are likely to see this as a second coming.
Disgaea 2 is certainly a game that stat whores will waste hours on. You can get to ridiculous levels and do attacks that would make Final Fantasy lose it's lunch.
Even though the characters aren't quite as interesting as those seen in the original, Disgaea 2 remains one of the best strategy-RPGs out there.
Nippon Ichi has done the impossible with Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories – taking a successful game and improving it on every count for the sequel. The battle system was tweaked in just the right ways, the graphics and sound were improved, and the new story is deep and faithful to the style of the series without copying too much from Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. The result is what will probably be best game of 2006.
Does not offer anything drastically new compared to its predecessor. An excellent strategy-RPG, nonetheless. [Jan 2007]
Fans of the original will need little convincing, but for the rest of you, trust me when I say this game's well worth your time. [Aug 2006, p.57]
It's a fantastic game, to be sure, but it's catering to a very specific set of gamers.
If you want a short, fun, quirky, and sometimes sentimental Strategy RPG that knows its market and takes jabs at it with impeccable humor, you should get Disgaea 2. If you'd prefer a game that allows you to play for hours on end (like, over 200 hours) with new events to keep your interest now and then, but you don't want it to be an MMORPG, then get Disgaea 2.
You know what the weird thing is? I hate RPGs with a passion. Yet there's something about this game that just works.
There is no better value for your buck than getting a game that supports HUNDREDS of hours of play time, and Disgaea 2 does that. The sheer amount of character building and fantastic humor all make for a game that you WANT to play for that long too.
Better sound, more strategy and more of those lovable psychotic penguins is what you'll find contained in this single disc game.
It is proven that if you give Disgaea 2 a bit of your time, it can swallow your life. Submit to its will.

The item world is a dungeon where you can enter a dimension inside an item you own. You can find the element that makes your chewing gum strong, beat it up until it obeys, and force to to move into your sword. The item world is also under attack by space pirates for some reason too. However the item world completely lacks an ongoing story to keep you motivated, and since it's levels are randomly generated it can result in some obnoxious camera difficulties. Overall I felt that the game's pluses were pretty refreshing in this industry, and none of it's faults bring the game to a stop, so I felt like it was a very good overall experience.… Full Review »

We have a nine year old Maytag dishwasher. The handle latch is plastic and over time with the many repeated uses it cracked and broke. I went to the local appliance repair shop and found the part in their data base but it would take ten days to get and cost $22.My wife and I thought it might be time to get a new dishwasher but after checking out prices at $500 or more, I decided to search on line and repair it myself.I found the part easily and quickly on Partselect.com and it was actually half the price of another internet dealer. The photographs helped me confirm I was buying the right part. It cost $6 plus shipping and I was amazed that it arrived in two days to California. It was easy to install, simply by removing the interior panel and slipping the new piece into place in the handle. The dishwasher works like new.Thank you, Partselect.com for a quick answer to our problem!

Pune: Carrying out research in the field of zoology, botany, pharmaceutical sciences and other life sciences will no longer be a cakewalk. In a recent notification issued to the universities and colleges, the Maharashtra State Biodiversity Board has asked students and researchers to take prior permissions for using natural resources for their projects and experiments.
Generally, students and researchers from the various life-sciences fields use a plethora of natural resources such as plants and animals for their research-work at laboratories. The rule will help the authorities keep a check on this usage. The notification, however, is also applicable to the commercial entities, which are into research and development.
According to the notification, the Biological Diversity Act, 2002, states that if a researcher does not intimate the board before using a natural resource, he shall be punished for a term which may extent up to three years or be fined up to Rs5 lakh or both.
Speaking to dna, chairman of the board Dr Erach Bharucha, said that the objective of imposing these notification is to collect information from places where the resources are being used. "There is a provision in the Biodiversity Act, which states that the locales from where the natural resources are picked by commercial entities and institutes, need to be given benefits. With the information in hand, we will have a fair idea of the benefits that the locals are liable for," he said.
According to Sachin Kate, a science student from a city-based college, it is a good move as now natural resources will not be misused. However, he feels that the permissions should not be delayed, as it may affect projects. However, Dr Rahul Moongikar, a senior research consultant with the board, said that in case of educational institutes, the time to get a permission won't be too long. "Permission will be granted as soon as we get an application form for accessing biological resources," he informed.
Dr K.C. Mohite, dean, Science Faculty, University of Pune, said that they have constituted a committee which will issue directives over a particular notification, reducing the waiting time.

IFRA can certainly give you bad PR, but as far as I know IFRA has no legal power to stop anyone from doing anything. I suppose they could bring a lawsuit in international court, but I suspect the court has better things to do.
I wonder what it is?
Good for them. Hopefully other perfumers will follow.
If only more had the guts for disobedience for this 'industry-driven nonsense'...
Civil disobedience! Now available in the handy 3.4 oz bottle.
I always find it odd when I see either calamus or costus root listed in scents, as both of those are IFRA prohibited. Of course, there may be some synthetic fascimile that I'm not aware of that is allowed.
I suppose Hermes' Santal Massoia is a contender, too, as massoia bark is completely prohibited.
Would love to know what scent it is. I'm curious if the house/designer can be held responsible at all or if all responsibility would lie with the perfumer and his/her parent company, seeing as most houses/designers don't own (and presumably don't even know) the formula for the scents in their name.
I'm pretty sure that the Hermès scent is just using the massoia lactone, much like Boss Pure.
Personally, I would buy a bottle. I suppose that's why they're not releasing the name. Perfume lovers might show support.
Where is this "scoffrag"? Habeus liquidus!

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. It's listed as prohibited in this IFRA spreadsheet.
My guess is that it's using things like the saturated analogs of the massoia lactones. I think those may be merely restricted.
Interesting. Some day I'm going to delve into synthetics and isolates. Not sure I'll be looking for a massoia substitute though - I experimented with it a bit in the past and a single wearing of a perfume with an (unkowingly!) overdosed massoia note turned me off; it combined with the cedar and other components to create a sort of milky coconut/vomit/cedar-sawdust-vomit-powder accord. :shocked:

Some of the prohibition violations could be triggered by batch variations in natural materials (e.g., safrole). Or the reporting could be based on finding an allowed component of a prohibited gum or oil, with the erroneous assumption that if part is present the entire material is present (e.g., verbena oil). I'm guessing that IFRA's gunning for one of the natural perfumers or an American multinational company promoting its use of "natural extracts" in a shampoo or something.
Its a joke really , I mean the whole IFRA thing . On a crusade , I mean acting in the interests of the consumer ? I really dont think so . After the interiew Persolaise conducted with their mouthpiece , who dodged questions and who came across as really quite defensive , I seriously wonder what their real agenda is , money I shouldnt wonder , certainly not Joe publics health and safety but anyway .....
We are adults , are we not allowed to make our own decisions anymore ....
I hope this signals a trend!
Srsly as a dude I would be MORE inclined to buy a frag if it had a big fat warning label on it.
Warning: Contains Oakmoss! May cause slight rash in 1 in 100,000 people!! (skull & crossbones, photo of mild rash etc)
Amen! Some people are violently allergic to peanuts, shellfish, or other foodstuffs, and can even have a fatal reaction to them. Yet nobody is calling for an outright ban on any of those, and they continue to be available for people who can eat them with no ill effects.
And cigarettes (which are GUARANTEED to do harm to ALL users of them) are still available just about everywhere, with warning labels.
Why a different standard for fragrances? Label for content, and let us make our own choices.
The funny thing is they're so worried about dermal reactions but seem to fail to notice the increased respiratory reactions (and this applies not only to the wearer but all in his/her vicinity) that the increase in synthetics has led to. Brilliant! :rolleyesold:

It was just a few years ago that IFRA declared they would "name and shame" any member in non-compliance: http://www.cropwatch.org/40thpetition.htm
I think I've said elsewhere on Basenotes that although the Standards are not technically part of law (at least not in any country I know of) they are effectively enforced by the fact that once you've been declared non-compliant getting product liability insurance is going to be impossible. And trading (on any significant scale) without such insurance isn't practical.
I have great sympathy for the company involved and I do hope it's one of those big enough to have the resources to fight back and survive. A small player would simply be put out of business by such an action.

"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Seriously, I don't think it's reasonable to effectively ban certain foods. People with serious allergies need to take responsibility for their own health. They can't put their lives in the hands of store owners or producers that may or may not truly understand what they're dealing with.
It's easy to remove nuts from store shelves, but how do you know that a random "vegetable oil" doesn't contain or has been contaminated by nut oils? And how do you know from which sources all additives have been manufactured? Food labels can't always be trusted, especially since process chemicals don't need to be specified.
It's interesting that no one is asking exactly who it might have been who blew the whistle on this un-named frag, what their evidence was, and what their motivation might have been.
can anyone answer on my PM when those IFRA rules started in production? is shalimar that is produced in january 2010 affected by it? is it better then then the new shalimar? many thanks!

About time too ! IFRA is stuff and nonsense.
Sure. Make more synthetics, toxic compounds and replace the naturals and organic. Ooh allergies on skin! How about the long term effect on the respiratory and the brain permanently from blended synthetics and toxic perfume compounds that they approve? One aspect of IFRA's persistent arrogance I can't accept and understand. And to be shamed after. How is it fair that you label a long named synthetic ingredient on the label where people dont really understand even after looking it up (cause most aren't scientists), to a certain natural product that's been used since the mesopotamian and egypt times and people don't die. You guys should go to one of their events. It's hilarious!!!! ''Use this toxic stuff! Be aware of the Naturals and the Natural Perfumers!'' I remembered one of them stood up and arrogantly said ''You should know who we are and where we are coming from''
WTF? 90% of Arabs are laughing at them openly and most are non-compliance. Cause they know plants shares the same 40% DNA in humans. These compounds - 0% your body rejects it or the compound manipulates your liver. OMG I can so go on and on.... BOO!

This exit is just plane painful. Pun intended. Excuse me one moment while I put on my helmet… I was just reminded why we (should) all wear one. I might even consider wearing two after watching this :) Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: In Your Face Bitches!
Nothing says "good times" like BASE jumping off a building and doing a high speed face plant into a window. Oops! Window repairs: $500. Shitty breaking glass sound effects: $100. Living to tell the tale: priceless. Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Low Pull Carnage. Don't Forget To...
There's a whole lot of carnage and dirty low pulls in this video. Just a friendly reminder: don't forget to pull! Watch Video »
Friday Freakout: Swooper Clotheslined By Wire Fenc...
Swooping is fun… until you get clotheslined by a wire fence! Yet another way to add instant brakes while swooping. This reminds me of a fighter jet snagging the tailhook when landing on an aircraft carrier, minus the cool fighter jet and smooth landing. Watch Video »
Swooping + CYPRES Fire = Instant Brakes
Having your CYPRES accidentally fire while swooping is one hell of a way to slam on the brakes! He's lucky this didn't happen 50-100 feet higher. Watch Video »

Spy and Herschel give us another reason why collabs won't and shouldn't ever go away with their new two-goggle pack.

This is a Japanese player playing Fatal Frame on Nightmare Mode. He does the speed run with no saves and no damage. This is a huge video walkthrough if you intend to use this video as a guide while playing. Its pretty interesting to watch. He skips all the cut-scenes because he is aiming for the best time without saving and without damage. Enjoy! If you want more fun watching, do the following: 1) Watch this at night 2) Pump up the Speakers 3) Watch this by yourself

This was the very first video game music video I ever made. Well, this is the remastered edition. I had to remaster it and change some scenes because there were too many repeats, pixelations, and audio mess up. I should has used high quality instead of medium quality. Please watch.

Algae advocate pushes for research
A leading advocate of turning algae into fuel says the U.S. recession and lower oil prices won't stop research in the technology.
No one has really looked at algae as a business opportunity until recently, said Barry Cohen, director of the Texas-based National Algae Association.
Algae, which some would call pond scum, shows promise as a biodiesel fuel and could potentially be developed to capture carbon emissions from polluting factories, Cohen told the Houston Chronicle in a story published Friday.
Despite high production costs and the sluggish U.S. economy, Cohen said the case for investing in algae technology remains strong given the Obama administration's desire to create so-called
green jobs and wean the nation from oil dependency.
My mantra is: What are we waiting for? said Cohen, adding his group's conferences now include researchers and representatives from oil companies, airlines, the U.S. military and investment firms. The group's next meeting occurs April 30-May 1 in Houston.

Re: I have seen the future....
Ok, i know this is silly season and all, but could someone on their right mind, explain to me something?
Why would Nvidia/Ati/Intel/AMD, having something that is a proprietary tech, let all of the other guys have this for....free?
Am I mistaken, or is it not the goal of this companies to ... make money?
In regards to Toss3 remarks about the Nvidia forum focus group, can I ask you, what makes some people be over zealous about ATI?
At least with the focus members we know why, what about the ATI ones?
I see more misinformation from ATI fans about Nvidia than from Nvidia focus members about ATI. Shell we believe that this is all for the love of 1 company?
Sorry, I stopped being that naive years ago.

Lawsuit Says Google's Sale of Keywords Is Illegal 247
from the search-is-mightier-than-the-sword dept.
What google did is more akin to spraying a car with McDonalds analogies, then leaving the key in the ignition.
Next to an open wifi point.
Well, I'm alittle puzzled as to how this could possibly be infringement of any actual laws of google's part. I can see myself being alittle pissed off about it if I was on the receiving end, but that doesn't mean google shouldn't be allowed do it. Alot of intellectual property law is complete bullshit, as alot of us know.
What Google did is like accepting money from Ford to hire a goon squad sit outside a GM dealership and beat the shit out of any potential customers.

PSC: Recent Pinoy achievers to get cash incentives
The Philippine Sports Commission will hand out cash incentives to outstanding athletes from recent international competitions—including the millionaire members of the Gilas Pilipinas national five, who will get P1 million for finishing second in the Fiba Asia Championship here early this month.
PSC officials added that Asian Youth Games medalists led by champions Pauline Lopez (taekwondo) and Mia Legaspi (golf) will also get their cash rewards.
Also included in the list of outstanding athletes are the winners in the recent Asian junior wushu championships, Putra Cup and other regional competitions.
However, PSC officials have yet to officially release the breakdown of the cash incentives.
PSC executive director Guillermo Iroy said the awarding will be held tomorrow at the PSC canteen inside Rizal Memorial Sports Complex. Marc Anthony Reyes

I've read that both are acceptable but "associated with" is superior. Is there ever a time that "to" is acceptable? Does it matter at all? I'm writing copy for a public website and want to make sure I get this right.

"Associated to" would occasionally be acceptable when speaking about certain IT concepts, but in general purpose usage, "Associated with" is preferable nearly every time.
These day either 'with' or 'to' may be used. Traditionally it was 'associated with', which was preferred in the 1950s. But things have changed, and the use of 'associated to' is now so common as to be unremarkable everywhere.
