  1. You are pretty thick headed, along with ignorant if you cannot see the obvious evidence in front of you, but hey, think what you want. Let your bias over something blind you.

    Sorry. I meant to appeal to you, but failed. Maybe I'll win the next interent argument. But can you deny the fact that more and more rap artists are turning to remixes or "Samples" to compensate for their own lack of artistic creation? Take Busta Rhymes "Fire It Up" samples from Knuight Rider. I know that he got Glen Larson's permission to redo the KR theme, but it is in my opinion that these overpaid superstars should be able to come up with their own shit, not redo a twenty year old riff and call it a modern update. OCR is one thing, it's artistic expression. It's not here to remix for money. These people are charging 50+ bucks a concert seat to play a tune from the 80's with a new drum kit and "Fuck dem ho's, then smoke a joint" lyrics. Can you honestly argue there is little to no difference in that and OCR?

  2. Did you even read the fucking thread I linked?

    Before my last post, no I didn't. I just did, and admittedly I'm still not entirely convinced. Listening to this song brings CT to mind, so I can't help but think that was obviously the attempt, despite legal terminology. Besides, this YTMND was made some time ago, don't blame me for the past. It all boils down to a matter of interpretaion and opinion, and mine is that rap artists are running out of things to rip off, so VG OST's are next in line.

  3. I don't get it, I only hear a pretty decent Jay-Z song, what has that to do with Chrono Trigger? :/

    He "sampled" the forest song from CT, and didn't hide the fact very well.

    And I'm not gonna argue my position of racial standing. I'm not a racist. Believe me or not, it doesn't change the truth. But I've no love for Jay-Z, regardless of color or his "samplings". I don't like him, so I see no reason why I should care about his feelings.

  4. I love Metroid as much as anyone, and I ate up MP3 in no time. I'll admit, grudginly, that 3 wasn't the best, and Hypermode made everything into mincemeat, but some of the play mechanics I feel redeemed it. The grapple abilities were nice, the melees at all the wrong times kept the excitement up, and pimping your ride with Wii save file icons, particularly the Triforce, was a great touch. I think the moment that got me was the mad rush to fix the escape pod. I did not see that one coming at all, and the fact that you're breaking this on someone who is totally drunk and fumbling over this new "O SHI---"moment...adrenaline and alcohol are an interesting mix, let's leave it at that.

  5. If you had to sift through all the crappy mixes the judges are flooded with, looking desperately for that "diamond in the rough", you'd probably harbor several ounces of contempt for humanity too. All told, I think they've adjusted rather well.

  6. Slightly off topic, what would you all think of a game along the same vein as SSBM, but using characters from other games, kind of an ultimate collab? A beat-em-up that versus the likes of Bionic Commando and Bonk, or Kingdom Hearts Sora versus Dante'? and so on. Do you think this is a bad idea?

  7. Was Threads of Fate really that cool? I haven't played it.

    ToF is definitely worth the money if you can find copy of it. It has a grest, solid story, fun bosses, and you have to play through twice in separate stories to get the whole deal. Wonderful title. Needs a remake, at a least a sequel.

  8. Maybe it'll live up to the hype, unlike Halo 3. They kept evrybody in suspense for three years, and look what we got. SSBM doesn't promise to be the game that remakes the world, it just promises to be a good, solid beat-em-up with tons of unlockables. From that standard, it'll be hard to really screw up, especially given past records.

  9. No, you're missing the point. His son is going into a store and buying the game with no adult supervision in sight. The cashier is selling M-rated game to a minor without asking for any kind of age verification. The cashier has no idea if permission was given or where the money came from. That's the point Thompson is trying to prove; that retailers don't really care that much about carding kids for video games. In my experience (working as a cashier at Target many many years ago), such a thing was not far from the truth back in the day. Might be different now.

    Real issue is, look at it from a statistics point of view. Sample size of 1? Kind of a worthless "sting" if you ask me. If he had hundreds of kids all over the country doing secret shopper type stuff, it'd be a bit more substantial.

    Either way, it's ridiculous. Selling an M-rated game to 17&- is not illegal. It's just "Recommended" that they not purchase or play them. Most stores try to keep with that for consumer image, but nothing is really there requiring them to.
