  1. Hey, if you want to buy into corporate propaganda under the guise of a magazine, that's your call. If you like the writing style and you enjoy reading it, then who am I to tell you to stop. I'm merely addressing your initial statement of the fact that you weren't aware that Game Informer was owned and published by GameStop.

    It's a little naive to assume that GameStop would allow one of its products (Game Informer) to dissuade customers from buying other more profitable products in their stores. If a store decides to start a magazine then you can safely assume that the said magazine is their for a reason... to assist in sales of GameStop's number one product: video games. It does not exist as independent, free-thinking journalism because since its inception it has always been funded by the store, which sells the products they review. Despite the efforts of the writers or editors, Game Informer is nothing more than a giant GameStop ad. If you like the pretty pictures then dandy. Hell, if Game Informer had some cool pictures of a game I really liked I might even buy it, but keep in mind where the source of the money is coming from, because in the end that will always influence the magazine's writing, reviews, and previews.

    So... what you're saying is... Nintendo Power could maybenot be UN-Biased?

  2. Yeah, This is extremely sad.

    I listened to the wise opinions of the reviewer. and with Hsu in charge it was awesome but once he stepped down and they got those one people reviews it was so stupid.

    back in the day, they had 4 people reviewing the game, saying exactly what they thought about it. letting the reader decide whether they agreed with it. and they had multiple viewpoints so that would get rid of any "fanboyism" of the reviewers. having a 8.0 and the other 3 reviews be 3.5's.

    when it recently got to 1 person reviews is dumb.

    anyways i'm sad its gone and now i have nothing to turn to when it comes to videogame magazines!

  3. Yeah, I know whatcha guys mean. I'm now really getting into this game.

    I'm trying to beat all the endings. not really hard doing 'em, but its the finding them that's the tricky part!

    yeah, also letting me know what percentage I've unlocked has awoken my completionist within and won't let me sleep til i see those three little numbers infront of that percent symbol.

  4. Another factor to consider about a DS versus a PSP: if you drop it, which one do you think is going to be worse off? I don't mean, like a foot or two. I mean big falls. You ever drop a GBA SP? I have, down a flight of fire stairs. It closed itself on the way down, and even though it took a minor scrape on the top, it still worked. I have it in my desk drawer. The DS is pretty comparable. The PSP, with its disc drive and larger screen, may not be up to such impacts. Think about what kind of handling and damage your choice in handheld is going to experience in the next few years.

    Good Point! I have a DS lite. I guess I should point out I STILL have a DS lite. last semester while on my loft I was playing my DS, most likely Mario & Luigi: partners in time. and had set it down on the edge on the mattress.

    as fate would have it, I moved my pillow and then next thing I know, I'm watching my videogame system hurdle in slow-motion towards the bare, tiled floor.

    it dropped a good 6 ft onto nothing but a cheap tiled floor. the unit cracked right in half. one of the hinges broke and it was held together by wiring.

    I was devastated. that is, until I realized I could merely snap it back into place with no harm done.since then, the top portion is a little loose but works perfectly, it knows when its open or closed. I doubt a psp would function so flawlessly when dropped 6+ft

    I am now enjoying Chrono Trigger as if that accident never happened.

  5. yeah, I've played the demo last night, pretty sweet. me and friend did offline co-op (splitscreen) pretty awesome.

    but coming from not playing RE4, played it but never had the game so i didn't get used to the controls.

    for the demo, I used either Controls A or D. (I can't remember which) but it was set up like Gears of War. worked well for me!

    Maybe the AI is crap but with a human playing along with you, its an sweet game.

  6. Would you really be surprised? There was an ipod IN THE GAME.

    I think this is pointing to MGS on 360. I have no idea what the upside down exclamation point is for though.

    Also just to make a point; MGS2:Substance on the original xbox was better than the PS2 version if you ask me. I know the 360 isn't as powerful as the PS3, but I think that Microsoft would be as particular as possible with a title like this. If the 360 version is indeed coming, it would be a huge blow for Sony.

    upside down exclamation point = lowercase letter I? (i) maybe?

  7. I've never heard anyone pronounce it wrong really, but I'd love to hear someone call it "Mesamewn."

    you should hang out with me sometime. I said it wrong, I also spoke Lucca "luka" and Marle "Marl", MasaMune "maza mew-n" but hey what are you going to when you're 12?

    yeah I bought the DS version, worth it, I figure since I got the SNES cartridge for free (my cousin gave it to me in a box filled with a bunch of others) I should pay for at least a little!

    It soon became my favorite game ever. or at least was the most influential, especially the music. fantastic music. and with the DS features like sound test and what have you, it was worth 40 bucks.

  8. that was awesome. is Cooking Mama actually like this? cause if it is, I'll be picking it up tomorrow for my DS!

    boy, the propaganda machine is running at full steam for PETA.

    crazy crazy PETA, I'm all for the ethical treatment of animals but those guys are fucking nuts, Scary nuts. have you heard of ALF?

  9. we should get together and do an ocr horde or something at some point this weekend or early next week. what do you all think?

    edit: post your xbox live name if you play, i'll add you.

    i would also! FuriousFure

    lets do it! Wooo!

  10. I think your wrong.

    all the songs on this site are perfect.

    it's how you take in music that is flawed.

    well, here's the thing. i believe you are contradicting yourself.

    if no one can make a mistake or produce no flaws in music i.e no standard to fall below.

    how can someone be wrong in their opinion? and if they can, whats the difference between the expression through notes and thoughts to words? and where does this standard fall? and who or what sets this standard of right or wrong?

    so if there is no right or wrong opinions, that would mean the most ignorant racist crude person would say what believes without being wrong.

    if this guy finds flaws in the music, then he is right, they don't live up to his expectations, but to say that he is wrong for thinking such a way and for you to say that they can not make flaws in music is outright contradictory.

    the last two points.

    1. with there are no flaws point of view (everything is subjective) you can think in contradictory ways because there is no wrong.

    2. this website is based on many criteria to have your song approved. countless have been rejected. that would mean they would have flaws in them. so obviously some people feel you can fail at creating music, even if its because of some kind arbitrary standard set up.

    *EDIT* YEAH... NEVERMIND. I THINK I HAVE NO SARCASM-O-METER. i feel dumb :/

  11. Yeah, many people have NES, maybe Atari, but who here has an Intellivision II?

    oh, wait. that would be me. oh yeah, i am the KING of useless consoles. ha ha

    My N64 gets used multiple times a week. Battle Tanx: Global Assult, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros, Top Gear: Overdrive, Pokeman Stadium

    my SNES was hooked up to the tv this summer and sat by my 360 for about 3 months where i play My Chrono Trigger, B.o.B., Super Mario World and NBA Jam

    My 4 NES(s) gets no love

    My Atari 7800 gets no love

    My Intellivison II gets no love

    My Gamecube gets no love

    i don't have a wii, did i mention this?

    also one thing your precious VC can't do, is play DUCK HUNT, guess what i got?

    Two Nintendo zappers. oh snap.

  12. I'm actually looking forward to the avatars. Getting a wii is becoming more and more unnecessary.

    VC = XBLA

    Miis = Avatars

    all they need its a crazy motion sensor controllers and Shigeru Miyamoto to top it off.

    Plus Xbox has got Xbox Vision, a decent online service, and First Person Shooters.

  13. Oooh! Oooh! I got a better one! How about a sword that doesn't know how to properly pick sides and just stabs everybody who says anything 'harsh'!

    YEAH! totally! OMFG that would be the best weapon that should be in a game but isn't.

    Its true, it's possible I may not know how to "properly pick sides" but Its even more plausible that I think that neither side is worthy of support from me, so I've made up my own side, and Picked it very well. That side would be "Hey-some-douche-made-a-ridiculous-thread-and-people-are-calling-it-ridiculous and-now-he's-over-reacting-and-that-makes-the-whole-thing-the-more-absurd"

    for real tho? the best weapon that isn't in the game that should be....

    Chuck Norris.

  14. Well obviously this thread isn't working towards an end. It wasn't meant to. It's just a thread for people to bounce ideas off each other and see what other people like, with weapons as the medium. It can be kinda fun to see what other people think, when what they're thinking is positive. Apparently this isn't possible with a few of you. I don't mind you having these issues, but deal with them elsewhere. You guys are the only ones acting like this and trying to wreck the thread, noone else. You know what I do when I don't like a thread? I don't post on it. You say I lack imagination. If this is true, then you lack intellect. Go get some.

    yeesh... harsh.

    I know! how about some kind of Sword that over-reacts and insults the people that disagrees with it. not only does it affect those who its aimed at but it also has an AOE of anyone who sees it, causing judgmental thoughts of the sword and an overall negative mood.

  15. Purplecowofdoom, get some damn imagination. Perhaps this thread would be acceptable if you were a game designer or moviemaker looking to brainstorm ideas for unique weapons to put in a game. As it is, it's a giant circlejerk(odd, considering you're the only one who still takes this thread seriously) brainstorming session with no end to work towards, and no brains to feed it.

    ouch... harsh!

    I know! a gun that verbally abuses those that the gun is aimed at. It doesn't hurt them physically but it lowers their self confidence and hurts their feelings a little.
