  1. But you see, the move is MORE EXPENSIVE, it is, therefore, much better. This perspective is very well aligned in the current economical situation.
  2. How about we give the credit to the master of this art and call it a Flossing?
  3. One thing that is going unmentioned is how they plan to demo the 3DS using 3-D movies from multiple studios. "How to Tame your Dragon" is not even out on DVD and it was part of the lineup. A portable 3D movie player, think about it. Nintendo is gonna score big points with that. Hell, 3D camera, another thing that is very impressive (even if the picture quality kinda sucks at 0.3 mega-pixels...)
  4. Its not just the quality, its the depth, the field of vision, the speed of everything. The game is gonna do all of this in 3D, and that has to demand a lot of juice.
  5. Portal 2 can't be an exclusive... Wait, was Sony's show stopper Portal 2? Seriously?
  6. Well, it isn't just "a new DS" it's actually the next generation, the graphics had me rather impressed, they look far better than what the DS tends to pump out in my opinion.
  7. I'd like to point out something important: Pit has a voice, he's not a silent protagonist!
  8. Ok, what's the power in that freaking 3DS. The graphics are well above the level of N64 graphics, its amazing.
  9. I kinda like the combo Mario Sports game too. No need to buy 4 games.
  10. Gotta go with Secret of Mana for the biggest tear jerker. Just thinking about the fate of Sprite and Flammie, it gets me misty eyed. Edit: Oh, and FF6 Daryll's Tomb. Can't believe I forgot that one.
  11. Well, here's the thing about EVE. You wanna be a trader? It'll take about 3 months to get good at it, and 2 years to be the best. But you need money, so you probably need a month or 2 getting the skills to mine to get the capital to start trading. And at that point the money should flow in if you master the trading game. But, after that 5 months, your mining barge won't be enough, and your transport ship wont be big enough for the massive shipments, so you'd spend another 5 months getting into exhumers and maybe even an Orca. Once you're there, you can ship massive volume, but then there are supper massive freighters, another 3 months of skills and boom, now you can carry every ship you've ever owned, 5 times, in the hull of that super freighter. You can buy accross solar system, and you make a lot of money. You can mine out materials to start up the production lines, so why not own the production lines? So you become a manufacturer, that'll take 5 to 6 months to master. EVE is complex, the learning curve is steep, but if you want to get into a field, you need at most 5 hours of training to get in (which runs passively so Yay!) Then you need about 3 months to get to the good part of that field. Then you need 6 months to master the field. And then you can throw in about 2 years of training that wont be as profitable as getting into nearby fields. Mining leads to exploring leads to manufacturing and trading leads to transporting leads to corporate management. Mission running leads to advanced piloting leads to exploring, leads to PVP. And the world is such as there is a world for you to explore no matter where you are in your evolution. When it comes to the economy in EVE, everyone needs Tritanium, and you can mine that from the first day you get in the game to a reasonable profit. Everything above that depends on your choices. And it isn't an addiction fest, you can start training a skill that takes 15 days to train and go on vacation, when you come back the world will still be there and suckers will buy your shipments of ore for twice what you paid 2 solar systems over. Edit, not that I play anymore, but it isn't because of the game more than personal things.
  12. It was the Star Fox things that were in a separate thread.
  13. Isn't it because the Chinese kids nickname Dre the Karate Kid because the Karate Kid movies exist in the film's timeline?
  14. You could also use a save state... I don't think it would be cheating. Edit, I think you said you were using an emulator...
  15. Best future mix is gonna be that Mustin, Uemastu, djp and Celine Dion collab. Gonna be EPIC!!! What? You can't travel in time like me? Well, sucks to be you.
  16. When will people learn to NEVER link to TV tropes...
  17. Ball, lick up my ball, ball, lick up my ball, ball, lick up my ball lick up my ball, lick up my ball.
  18. I'll get the pop corn, you get the flame repellent.
  19. Steam Punk? Is that a music genre? Because it should be one.
  20. Now I want a song called Steam Powered Genesis Device.
