I always figured both locations were the US in localization efforts, but this case's script out that into question. It wasn't until that last remark by Apollo pist-trial that confirmed that this was in the US that I realized the localization team had erred.

The orb contains a pattern that traces its origins to Khura'in, so it isn't a foregone conclusion that the orb was made in Japan (I guess localization didn't change it to the US like it normally did).

The implication was that the Crystal of Ami Fey was made in Kurain. Here you can see that I came across a line of text saying that Kurain was in Japan. A crime committed in Kurain would not be tried in the US if Kurain was in Japan. Hence, the localization flubbed and the result was a continuity error.

Armie 12, so what the hell is she going to do now as an orphan? She was booted off-screen, so I guess that means I am not supposed to give a shit any longer. Out of sight, out of mind! Capcom are true savages.

Oh, NOW, we are apparently in the US. It would make no sense on any level for Kurain to be in Japan, so this appears to be continuity errors with the localization.

Maya is the only one capable of fulfilling the Dance of Devotion? I guess we are pretending that Pearl cannot do spirit channeling. Never mind, Paul gets it!

Now we have the ulterior motive for wheeling Armie. She was just at the spot where Paul needed to push the suitcase off.

What the hell is a banzai? I know of Banzai Bill. I also thought it was a plant, but that is bonsai.

Only the queen knows the founder's name. You know what, why didn't Inga just force his wife to do this a long time ago? Maybe that means I am wrong about the benefactor. Also, I wonder what the odds are that the founder's name is a Fey? Based on Lady Kee'ra's name, maybe they are only interested in first names.

It appears muscle atrophy doesn't apply to Armie. Congrats on being the first person in human history to not be affected by it!

Oh, I was thinking that Paul pushed Archie from the second floor and Archie hit is head on the suitcase during the fall. I guess the suitcase was originally on the second floor and Paul pushed it on top of Archie from above.

I feel dumb for not realizing the coffee stain on the book came from when it was at the coffee bar. To my defense, I didn't even know that was a coffee bar. I thought it was a work station with a coffee machine conveniently nearby. Then again, what kind of idiot would deal with ancient objects right next to a coffee machine?

So I appear to be correct for Phoenix's reason for representing Paul. I was just wrong about the girl. Yep, it's Maya.

After Phoenix brought it up, it comes as no surprise that Paul's benefactor is seeking the spiritual power mentioned in the Dance of Devotion. It's probably Inga since he isn't of royal blood. He's also an ass.

Maya the "legendary" for assistant. I laughed.

Armie was being wheeled around by possibly Archie's killer. If they are the same person, then Paul must have had an ulterior motive that didn't include killing her. If not, I could see Datz, but even he would have brought that up. Right?

In a long line of things that the player is conveniently not told until the moment it becomes inconvenient, a luminol test was done on the suitcase. It appears to be the murder weapon.

"A vote for Paul is a vote to banish murder forever in Kurain." - Paul
- He really is the MVP of this trial. I don't think that there's a character from this franchise with such a sharp quality split among their investigation and trial versions.

lol, I could have asked the judge to add "Datz is an idiot" to the testimony. If I wasn't eager to get this trial finished, I would have done so just to see where it would go once I pressed it. Too bad I also knew I had to add the testimony about the book since Archie's glasses was the evidence I knew I had to present.

At first, I thought it was a slip of the tongue when Paul said that Datz was a rebel. Then I realized that I had no idea what Archie and Paul discussed during their meetings. Also, Paul is more than capable of doing basic research, and he has a benefactor that likely would tell him.

So Athena can't be a hostage, but perhaps Maya is? She finished up her training, so I would have expected she fly home with Phoenix. There's also the possibility of Pearl I guess. I doubt they would just show her for a minute and then that's it. I find it more likely that she will join Phoenix in getting back Maya.

Phoenix was universally derided for making a claim that it has not been established that the orb was in fact the Founder's Orb since the Dance of Devotion claims that power would be bestowed upon the person to uncover its secret. Phoenix was even called crazy by nearly everyone. I am actually appalled that they would call someone crazy over that, especially when it is an excellent point. Let's recap some stuff that has gone down during this trial:
1. We took testimony from a drone piloted by an unhinged 12-year-old girl fitted with military weaponry that on no fewer than five occasions was fired upon the people in the room
2. Said girl magically appeared in court presumably hundreds of miles away
3. We had a 19-year-old girl use a device that claims to understand the discord in person's voice, and that somehow includes a drone with a heavily distorted voice
4. This is a court system that allows anyone who feels like it to move to and walk away from the witness stand
5. This is a court system where no fewer than 25 laws or rules are broken in any given trial
6. We allowed a witness to be carried in via a carriage
7. Two men wanted on charges that would have them extradited and then executed in their home countries showed up to court when they didn't have to

That's just seven things that I thought of at the top of my head. Phoenix's semi-rational claim doesn't even come close to reaching the Top 5 in crazy this trial.

Are you sure you wouldn't rather take a break anyway to, you know...actually take a break during the break instead of spending it doing things here?

And not only that, it's good for the rest of us too. The season goes by so fast, having a breather to consider trades for the off-season or a playoff push would be helpful.

Okay, I can still do a mid-season break. We can make it just one week or keep it at two.

NFC South

1. Atlanta Falcons
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
3. Carolina Panthers
4. Anaheim Lightning

I have little reason to believe that the order will change from last season.

If there's one team in the NFC that I view as a lock to make the playoffs, it's the Falcons. The Falcons lost WR Hines Ward to retirement, but they signed Jordan Shipley to replace him and have several ascending players at the position. Their talent and balance makes every game winnable for them.

The Bucs have already been hit by some injuries, none that should derail their season though. QB Tom Brady is coming off what might have been the best season by a QB in B8NFLL history. A slight regression to the mean is expected, but he's found a home in Tampa with their offensive line and pass-catchers. That defense also had a huge bounce-back season with no reason to expect something different. They are probably lock #2 for the playoffs.

The Panthers exceeded all expectations last year, and they are better built for repeat success than other examples. That being said, so many players played by far the best season of their career that it's unlikely to see a repeat of that happening. All rookie QBs that had great rookie seasons saw significantly worse results in their sophomore season, so if the same happens to QB Matt Ryan and HB Reggie Bush gets injured like he always does, where does the offense go from there? We saw last season what happened to them when their team came back down to earth (were held to sub-10 points for something like four of their final six games). With largely the same team as last year, will we see more of the Jakyll and Hyde show from this season or will one overtake the other?

The Lightning, despite having the best off-season in the division, are likely a year or two away from being serious playoff contenders. They could be this year's version of the Panthers and Cougars and have an unexpectedly good season with bounceback seasons from players like QB Eli Manning, MLB Kawika Mitchell, and DE Justin Smith.

NFC North

1. Minnesota Vikings
2. Richmond Bears
3. Detroit Lions
4. Green Bay Packers

The Vikings cleaned house in free agency. It will prohibit most of their rookies from getting playing time, but as for their prospects this season, it is looking good. I fully expect them to retain their division crown.

The Bears didn't have a good offseason. They released their most productive DT and OLB (Gabe Watson and Lance Briggs), they lost their starting C to retirement, and only C Eric Wood projected to see much playing time among their rookies barring injuries. That being said, I have a good feeling about this team. Things are starting to click for them and it's bound to result in a winning record one of these days. While not as likely, a playoff spot is on the table.

The Lions are coming off a baffling season where they finished 30th in total defense despite having 11 of 12 starters from the Super Bowl season. QB Peyton Manning's $11.2 mil cap charge forced Nee to say goodbye to several starting players, and I expect that will hurt (not as much as losing two of his best defensive players for half the season). If that defense ascends to let's say 20th, that could easily put them in the playoff discussion as their schedule consists of the AFC South, NFC West, a home game against the Lightning, an away game against the Giants, and six games against their so-so division. If they go at least 3-3 against the division, they could even be in discussion for reclaiming the NFC North.

Outside of DE and S, that Packers defense makes me cry, no offense to Tangicide or Kora. The division is home to overlooked offenses, so that's going to be a huge liability. That combined with health issues already at the QB position, I do not like the Packers' chances this season.

NFC East

1. Las Vegas Pumpkins
2. Dallas Cowboys
3. New York Giants
4. Washington Redskins

Arguably the best division in the league where all teams are of roughly the same quality (though major differences between them all) makes this really hard to predict. I'm going mega bold and saying that the Pumpkins earn their long-overdue playoff spot by winning the division and be in the running for a 1st round bye. After poor drafts and being non-factors in free agency, the Pumpkins have selected hit after hit in the draft and have used their vast cap space to nab long-term starters. The Pumpkins lost several players to retirement this season and traded away a young, quality DT, but they signed/drafted replacements everywhere. I honestly believe that their ceiling is that of a Super Bowl contender. It's hard to believe that this team bounced back like this after the notorious Ryan Fitzpatrick experiment. It's also what started this rebuild, so maybe MMX was a genius after all.

The Cowboys have just two playoff spots to their credit despite always having a high-rated team. They have also selected in the Top 10 four times. They could very well have a Lions-esque Super Bowl follow-up season. I'm not willing to that far, but I do expect them to win at least three fewer games than they did last season (13 in the regular season).

The Giants, much like the Jets, have had an unusual string of poor seasons despite stats suggesting they should have been at least .500. Their defense still finishes in the Top 10, so it's their offense that has held them back. A large part of that might be the rapid decline of perennial MVP candidate Edgerrin James. With 17507 career rushing yards, James needs 849 (I think I did my math correct) to surpass Emmitt Smith for the all-time record. Back on topic though, the Giants will be starting a rookie or 2nd year player at RT positions for the first half of the season. With a brutal schedule against the division and AFC North, they will need that defense to perform as usual, Edgerrin to regain his old mojo, those young OTs to hold the line, and QB Ben Olson to take another leap in his third year. That might be asking too much to get them back into the playoffs.

The Redskins had such an awful cap situation that they had to let go of many talented players. While they have been effective in free agency the past two seasons, they have spent at least 9 of their 15 draft picks on QBs and WRs in that span when they should have helped provide some depth along their lines. They still have an uber-talented team, but man, I think that the Redskins of old are gone. I really miss the inaugural season Redskins. With respect to Wars' Browns, that might have been the funnest team ever.

NFC West

1. Seattle Seahawks
2. San Francisco 49ers
3. St. Louis Rams
4. Toronto Wildcats

I said this last year, and was totally burned, but I think this is the Seahawks year to make the playoffs for the first time. They went hard after players in free agency (DT Matt Kroul and G Justin Geisinger), and some young guys have developed nicely (WR DeSean Jackson and OLBs Derrick Bonds/Justin Houston). They also have quality backups at positions where they didn't use to have any (QB and C). Losing former Offensive Rookie of the Year HB Lynell Hamilton for half the season doesn't help a team that has suffered more injuries than every other team except the Texans/Pioneers the past three seasons. However, in a division that seems to be getting weaker every season, that won't be as much of an obstacle as it would have been in seasons past.

I once said that no team had a bleaker future than the 49ers due to an aging core and absolutely no depth. While they are coming off three straight 7-9 seasons, the 49ers are in good position despite losing WR Torry Holt to retirement. With the target sponge gone, young pass-catchers might have more opportunities to develop and that defense, with no starters over 30, has come around after looking to be on its last legs for several seasons. A playoff berth might be just out of reach, but I do expect them to get back to .500.

The Rams are a befuddling team. They never perform how I think they will. Currently, their starting talent is certainly playoff-worthy on paper, but they typically under-perform individually, have middle-of-the-pack team stats, yet somehow string together 10+ wins as a team. I obviously haven't learned my lesson, but I think they are a .500 team and nothing more.

With apologies to OLB Marcus Washington, QB Michael Vick is the Toronto Wildcats. He could very well become an MVP candidate once again, but at some point, their offense won't be enough to carry their defense that has barely been better than the Titans over duration of the league. Even if Vick stays healthy all season, I see the Wildcats as a team with a losing record and possibly picking in the Top 5 again.

http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg

AFC South

1. Columbus Pioneers
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
3. Indianapolis Colts
4. Tennessee Titans

They may have picked in the Top 10 for three straight seasons, but the biggest threat for the Jaguars is the Pioneers. A combination of good draft choices, free agent signings, and developing players have resulted in a team that is much better than their 12-36 the past three seasons indicate. That sounds like the real-life Jaguars (while the Jaguars are more like the real-life Texans), but they have to put it together one season. This is the division to have a breakout season, so why not them?

The Jaguars' run of six straight division crowns might come to an end this season. Their offense is always injured, and their defense is showing signs of aging. They really need a respectable sophomore season from QB Tim Tebow and for HB Adrian Peterson to stay healthy in light of HB Marshawn Lynch's injury. I wouldn't count on both happening.

Every team except the Texans/Pioneers saw a significant decrease in wins last season, but none harder than the Colts. Their one true weakness is their offensive line. They released their 91 RT, and now have one member at 84+. That just isn't going to cut it with their collection of QBs, HBs, and WRs. That being said, the Hassassinator left camp as a starting WR for the first time in his career. This could be all the Colts need (along with their vaunted defense).

Madden hates many teams, arguably none more so than the Titans. I don't need to tell their history, but they right now have seven injuries when no other team has more than four. It will likely be a long season in Nashville.

KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy
http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg

AFC North

1. Baltimore Ravens
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
3. Mexico City Browns
4. Cincinnati Bengals

The Ravens are likely here to stay for some time. Even though they always have their fair share of injuries, somebody steps up and they don't lose a beat. They have made the AFC Championship the past two seasons, and I don't see why they can't make it three in a row.

The Steelers have infamously choked away a playoff spot in Week 17 to the Browns the past two seasons. They have a balanced team everywhere you look, but without being elite in any one area, they will need to play mistake-free ball for the most part. They have a few injuries, but most are bench players and at O-line where they have plenty of depth.

The Browns still have a playoff-caliber team, but they released their top-rated HB, traded their #2 WR, and let their 89 RT walk. They did draft a good replacement for retired OLB Clark Haggans and signed a new #1 CB, so it isn't like it was a significant exodus of talent. However, I think that the disparity has put them below the Steelers and in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since Season 5. Their total offense and defense both ranked in the 20s last season, the only playoff team from last year to claim that. To avoid a repeat and seeing a corresponding regression in record, they will most importantly need their front seven to stay healthy to help with the effective running attacks that the division employs.

The Bengals were not gutted by retirements like they had endured for the previous two off-seasons, but they still play in the murderous AFC North and face the equally murderous NFC East as their non-conference foes. They just can't catch a break.

KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy
http://i.imgur.com/VfpY7tg.jpg

AFC East

1. Miami Dolphins
2. New York Jets
3. Buffalo Bills
4. New England Patriots

The Dolphins should still have enough to win the division for a seventh time. After seasons of the division weaknening, last year was arguably the best from the AFC East. Three teams had their best win-loss record and the Jets peripherals were that of a team close to .500. Retirements weren't kind to anyone, especially the Dolphins who lost three 90+ members of their secondary. Taking over starting jobs are three 1st round picks, CB Antonio Cromartie, CB Joe Haden, and SS Antoine Bethea. The rest of the team is essentially the same, but as long as those aforementioned three pull their weight, a division crown seems to be more likely than missing the playoffs altogether.

I am still not giving up on the Jets. This is a team that never had a losing season and were coming off two seasons in which they made the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl before two 5-11 campaigns. They had an underrated draft last season, and they replaced their (aka my) free agent mistake QB Matt Leinart with the man who beat them in the Super Bowl, Drew Brees. 14 of their starters are under 30, and as long as they do not face any setbacks developing or with injuries, they could be in the running for as high as AFC East champions.

The Bills are on paper a worse team across the board than they were last season. They went 11-5 in the regular season last year, so even a slight drop might put them to 9-7 and certainly remain in the playoff discussion. They escaped the preseason without an injury and start the season on a four-game homestand, so their pursuit of another playoff berth will begin in their favor.

The Patriots, then Cougars, went 9-7 after being propped up by their defense. While it remains roughly the same and an influx of new starters on both sides of the ball, they are still low on talent relative to the rest of the division and league. While I see them dropping back to a losing record this season, Lady Luck could once again smile upon them again. Just please don't let it be at the Dolphins' expense.

The following posts of mine will be re-postings of my predictions, half of which are doomed to fail.

AFC West

1. Washington Hawks
2. Denver Broncos
3. Oakland Raiders
4. Kansas City Chiefs

The Hawks might very well run away with the division as they certainly have the talent to do so. Their depth is an issue however, and they've already lost reigning co-Defensive Rookie of the Year for a third of the season. Through seven seasons, HB LaDainian Tomlinson has played at least a dozen games just once. They are also relying on journeyman Philip Rivers to replace Chad Pennington who had the most Pro Bowl nods at QB after Peyton Manning. An additional injury or two, especially to Tomlinson or somewhere on the offensive line could cause things to go south in a hurry.

The Broncos had a poor season by their standards last year due to injuries. They plugged some holes during free agency and have left this preseason without an injury. They don't have as high of a ceiling as they've had in seasons past, but I expect a non-losing season at any rate and to be in the hunt for a wild card spot.

The Raiders are a darkhorse wild card team. After all those seasons of mediocrity winning between 5-8 games, they have an opportunity to make a playoff push in a relatively weak division and one of the most favorable away schedules in the league. Aside from a disappointing Season 6, new QB A.J. Feeley has been a reliable option at QB, and they have a really good defense with a few new faces. Unfortunately, their already shaky offense has taken some hits with TE Jeremy Shockey out for half of the season and LT Alex Boone gone for several weeks. Luckily, they will be gone for the easiest part of their schedule, so if they enter their Week 9 bye a winning record, they could be in position to grab a wild card even with four straight games against teams that won 10+ games last season (Steelers, Ravens, Buccaneers, and Hawks).

The Chiefs have work to do. If they lose QB Marc Bulger and/or HB Domanick Davis, they could be in line for the #1 pick. Their defense can probably hold their own, especially in a division not known for offense. Their offensive line is steady if always injured. They just lack playmakers on offense, and while defense is always the best indicator of success, playoff teams score points and this Chiefs team likely won't be putting up enough.

What is Game of the Month Club?
Game of the Month is a community project open to all B8ers where users share, discover, play and/or discuss a select few games every month. The games featured each month are chosen by YOU the users (and Lady Luck)

The Basics
- Each month will feature three games that were chosen via a random drawing from a pool of games that users nominated
- For each game you beat, you get a cool point on our just-for-fun standings as well as a nomination for next month's randomized drawing
- In order to receive the point and nomination, you must beat said game within the calendar month
- If you beat one of the current month's games in the previous month, you can apply for a "recently beaten waiver," but you will only receive a point and no nomination should you do so
- Drawing for next month's games is usually around a week before the end of the month
- If you periodically keep us posted on your progress and/or talk about different aspects of the games, then everyone will think you are super awesome!

Nomination Rules
- You get one nomination automatically each month
- You can receive up to three more nominations in a month for each chosen game that you beat
- Each game you nominate has to be different from both your and other users' noms and cannot include a game that has already been selected for GotM
- Each game must be a standalone game that can be acquired and played on its own (aka cannot be DLC/expansion that requires the base game)
- Nominations only carry over if you beat a chosen game after the drawing for next month's games but before the end of the month

Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise for PC. It was the first non-Putt-Putt or Fredi Fish Humongous Entertainment point-and-click adventure that I've played. Probably.

The Holy Mother allegedly appeared from the burning orb as according to the Dance of Devotion. If the inside of the orb melts, how does it even fill back up again? What is the mystery matter inside? I guess that we have seen the Holy Mother's face now (unless this really is the Crystal of Ami Fey and that the Holy Mother and Ami Fey are two different people). Any practitioners of Khura'inese (is that the religion's name?) that are present in court are now damned for eternity.

I must say, Phoenix has been a massive disappointment this trial. He's mostly been a non-factor.

The Widget, that's what the text box suggests the Mood Matrix object is called, is worn as a necklace. How, just how was the drone, which is completely visible mind you, simply take that off Athena's neck? I am less baffled by it taking the judge's gavel. Less than a minute later, the Widget and gavel were back to their owners. What a waste of time, though not like Datz' witness testimony in the third case.

On the second Mood Matrix segment, I got the flames on my first try despite totally forgetting that was how Archie's wife died. It just seemed like the thing to point out at the time.

Oh, Archie's child is a 12 year-old-girl? Didn't Ema specifically say that Archie had a son? Regardless, Archie likes his women young, and the pun for Armie Buff must be army buff. Back to more absurdities, how did she get here so fast if she had not taken a step outside of her room since her mom died? Did they set up a temporary court at the Buff residence?

The drone DID have a voice modulator. I rest my case on the validity of the Mood Matrix!

Unless they intend to bring in Pearl, who likely would have mentioned that she saw what went down at Archie's, it has to be Archie's son via the drone. Yep. I am impressed with the range of the drone. That's military grade, but it's gun attachment made that obvious.

Oh, it has missiles too? In the previous game, everyone was panicking and up in arms about a timed bomb being in the court, but here we are in the presence of a drone controlled by someone far away from court with an arsenal of weaponry and nobody gives a shit. Wishy-washy priorities man. As an aside, talk about weak missiles and bullets. There's no property damage anywhere!

If my goal this cross-examination is to prove the Defiant Dragons were not at fault (isn't it innocent until proven guilty?), the orb agreement seems like the perfect evidence. Why would they harm the person when they have a binding agreement to receive something as long as the Archie doesn't come to harm? The game would not accept that answer. They wanted me to target a completely different statement and say that the drone should have had eyes and ears on the study.

I may be no expert on psychology, but I feel like Athena's Mood Matrix should not be able to work on a drone, for obvious reasons, and that also likely has a distorted voice. Is it part of Capcom's company rules that every Mood Matrix segment has you point out the lack of surprise to a dead body?

I won't be either. It has been awhile since we had a month where I didn't beat a game, or at least I think so.
