Level 20, 834 Days, 129 Posts, 42330 EXP, 109 EXP Next, 492 EXP per post Well, here's what I was playing last -- Ar Tonelico. Now's here's a bunch of them I'm working on at the time. Whether that's a good thing, I'm not sure, but here they are: Eternal Mana 2 and 3 (both PS2) Mana Khemia (PS2) Minna no Golf 3 (PS2) Summon Night EX -- Yoake no Tsubasa (PS2) Mario & Luigi 2 and 3 (DS) Final Fantasy -- Ring of Fate (DS) Tales of Hearts -- CG Version (DS) From the Abyss (DS) I started Ar Tonelico 2 just to see how different it was from the first one. All of the above games are the Japanese versions -- I only play those versions. -------------------- Nihongo Freak Forums is still open and looking for members.

Level 21, 835 Days, 130 Posts, 42837 EXP, 7106 EXP Next, 494 EXP per post Gunstar, Stage 2 is also pretty decent. The title screen music for Solstice NES is downright classic in my opinion. For the last couple of weeks straight, I was listening to the boss music from the first Eternal Mana. The piece is only about 80 seconds long, but the uploaded piece is about 5 minutes so it loops 4 times. -------------------- Nihongo Freak Forums is still open and looking for members.

Level 21, 837 Days, 132 Posts, 43884 EXP, 6059 EXP Next, 498 EXP per post I've been busy studying from Levels 7 and 6 (10 is the easiest while 1 is the hardest) of Kanji Kentei books. When I was coming back from Japan, I tried a practice test of 105 questions on my DS for Level 7. I passed -- I was so happy, you have to be able to read and write 640 characters. I struggled with that for months. On level 6, you need to know 825. -------------------- Nihongo Freak Forums is still open and looking for members. Stats: Views = 74,500; Members = 12, Posts = 172

I liked trying to get as many coins as possible to play the slot game at the end of each level. By the time I got to 7-1, I already had 99 lives. I didn't experience the real SMB2 until it was released in the All-Stars package in '93. -------------------- Nihongo Freak Forums is still open and looking for members.

Lyner is already at Level 35 and Aurica has her second costume. I still have quite a bit to go in Phase 1 though.

The table summary attribute should be used to describe
the table structure. It is very helpful for people using
non-visual browsers. The scope and headers attributes for
table cells are useful for specifying which headers apply
to each table cell, enabling non-visual browsers to provide
a meaningful context for each cell.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
