I dunno how different things are in the UK, but there's a good site for this sort of thing. It's the first result if you google "guide to homelessness". It actually makes being homeless sound fun.
Best of luck to you two.

FYI SEGA - The games over when the kids wake up! Not when the timer runs out! If I'm out of time the kids fall to earth and the chase begins.
This happens? >_<
My favourite part of the entire game was Twin Seed...er I mean Bellbridge, By the time you've heard the kids bitch and moan about themselves but when they spiral out of the clouds and into the twinkling city and the music begins that was it for me! This was my NiGHTS believing in yourself and soaring through the night sky, the multi-coloured balloons the hovering buildings it had it all and even more! I loved the twinkling stars that created rings and opened up paths to aid you and just when I thought it couldn’t get better when the lights go out and Helen loses her courage and then it all comes flooding back and BAM IN THE NIIIGHTS DREAM DELIGHT I couldn’t help but smile this was where the magic was hiding!
God, yes. This was like, the one part of the game that actually felt like I was playing NiGHTS. Epecially when Will popped up WITHOUT EXPLAINING EVERYTHING.
if the game had been delayed and still in production it could of had the bugs ironed out and it would of been a game worthy of being in the Wii top 10 but I can see the problem was SEGA execs demanding something that needed to be treated like art and not rushed.
Honestly, I felt like the problem was more time management than not having time. They should have focused JUST on the bosses and normal levels, and not screwed them up by rushing you.

Absolutely not. IMO, JoD is an abomination to the NiGHTS legacy. Don't read if you won't want the game's flaws pointed out.
-It completely ruined the NiGHTS character. He's not androgynous because he has no gender, he's androgynous because nobody KNOWS his gender. Because he's mysterious! If you shove his life story in the face of kids you've known for a few hours, it completely ruins that and just comes out terrible and forced! The whole story was like that really; the original NiGHTS left just enough to the imagination that everybody who played it had a unique experience. This shoved everything down our throats.
-The idea of the original NiGHTS was that the game was about flying in a dream. NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams does not feel free. It is sluggish. The movement speed is far too slow and dashing (which is a great deal more limited) is almost as slow. The camera angle is almost as bad about backtracking as Sonic and the Secret Rings, and part of freedom is being able to go backwards. Furthermore, you often can't see where you're even going or what rings/blue chips/whatever you're looking for.
-It was also about losing that freedom if you screwed up. NiD was so fun you wanted to keep playing until the timer ran out, and the game encouraged that. JoD I often finished levels on my first try with several hundred seconds left, and didn't mourn the time lost because the gameplay engine was so horrible in the first place. I was never pressured or anything.
-NiGHTS, and ****ing SEGA IN GENERAL, was about doing one thing and doing it amazingly well. JoD threw in like five gameplay engines, taking the flaws from Sonic Adventure 2 and magnifying them tenfold, except that the Sonic levels of the game, the chase levels, weren't that great for reasons mentioned and they were like, 20% of the game. The mission structure is an abomination. Side missions like the SA2 level select would have been great, like I would have enjoyed some of the missions if they were optional.
-The game just didn't feel... lively, y'know? The levels were too open, too organic, and the music IMO was great, but not...lively. Like it was too slow and there were only like two instruments playing at any given time.

I don't think Sega does that...
Also now I have more money to buy GotY 2006s like Sonic Rush Adventure and Brawl.

This is excellent news for the following reasons:
-They get more time! For all I care they can take another 11 years, as long as it lives up to the original.
-Qs 1,2, and 3 usually suck, which means I can give this AAA GotY the time it deserves.
-It shows that Sonic Team is over their deadly fear of finishing games before they send them out. PREDICTION: the next console Sonic will be AAA.
This is good news for Sega.

In Frozen Bell, right at the start there's this area with a lot of pians, but there are so many pians that whenever I get near it the framerate drops to like 10 fps.
What do I do? The obvious solution is to kill all the pians but... ;_; That's so mean.

I was part of that project... also feedback is feedback even if it is just me orgasming all over him. In the news page at one point it says, "I think I'll write to Iizuka" so either that's through the AAA insider or there's some way.
And Louis I didn't have two ideas. Surprisingly poor reading comprehension from you...

Don't believe that official JoD music thing on youtube for a second. It came from Blackarmsstudios, a guy from over at the Sonic Stadium community. He always claims to know stuff about upcoming games way before theyre release, and when the final product is out, and nothing he said holds ground, he claims it was taken out. He's just grabbed a nice Orchestral track from somewhere and slapped it onto some screenshots to play his game again.
That isn't entirely true, Blackarms has called some stuff that would be nearly impossible to guess about the games unless you played it. He does have his inaccuracies, but it's totally possible that Sega doesn't give him the final build so no concrete spoilers leak out. Also his dad takes the screenshots for strategy guides or something.
Now, he has taken his own assumptions as fact a few times, but I really doubt that's the case here.
About the pians... notice that the bird turned into a ball after NiGHTS killed it. I doubt that happens for no reason.

Topic title speaks for itself. I wanna get to know him over a hot cup of coffee... kidding I just wanna tell him how much I love the first one and the new character designs and tell him not to add more of a story to this one and that I definitely want the A-life back.
Not to say I would mind getting to know him, I bet he's a cool guy.

If you keep cracking it up to be more than it is, yes. It's like learning to walk. An infant doesn't go on the internet to learn various walking methods, they just keep trying until they can do it.

Maybe it's that attitude. "The best I can do"? Try harder!
Actually I dunno... I have noticed that small children have really crappy and short/repetitive dreams... Logically as your brain develops you should be able to have more complex dreams...
I maintain my previous response.

Naw, I was doing great (3-4 dreams a night) before I tried the supplements... then I just flopped. I'm recovering somewhat but not fully yet.
Drugs are bad.

I use vegan ice cream and bananas sometimes. Vegan banana splits are the best thing in the world.
Either way, whatever it is about dairy that makes you have better dreams it isn't the dairy.

Alex is way too cool to poke anyway.
EDIT: ...unprovoked. I could totally poke him if he provoked me, you don't even know.

Like I said, it's not a ranking so much as it is an observation. Most other sites are full of LD vets... it's sort of intimidating, actually. ^_^; I like it better here.
