  1. You've got a weird sense of humor, man, but I lol'd, several times. I like this updated version a lot better than the original, you linked a lot more things together very fluidly. Well done!
  2. Technically, this new one will be the 3rd hulk movie: 1st was with Lou Feregno (or however it's spelled), 2nd the horror, and now this 3rd, which hopefully is good.
  3. I actually find this better than most of Yahtzee's stuff. Dan's ideas are much more coherent and logical, not just criticisms. Also, I really appreciate the absence of over-the-top language. While funny in Yahtzee's vids, it also makes me a little embarrassed and uncomfortable to hear the F-bomb so many times. Now I just need to sit back and wait until the inevitable: F*** F*** F*** etc comes along, just to tease me, lol.
  4. Many great points were raised, and overall it is a great video. I think that you were 100% correct in stating that sex in games must be present when appropriate, not just as some extra, cheap thrills. Intimacy is the first hurdle, however, that game developers haven't overcome. Look at LoZ TP for example. They had a great opportunity between Link and Illia, but once the developers realized it, they had to think up some way to remove the intimacy so they wouldn't have to deal with it, so *SPOILER* bye bye Illia's memory! */SPOILER* The only time I can think of a movie where the sex was necessary was Terminator, because Sarah having a son was an integral part of the story. Too often in movies is sex put in just because there's space for it, but all this does is just present sex as a cheap thrill, and it's the same in games. Personally, I think games are more enjoyable when you aren't distracted by, ahem, 'women', and if a game is based purely on being distracted by such 'women', I think that's just a sad, last-resort attempt at getting money from a shallow, male demographic.
  5. I wish they would do it here in canada, even though I already have a legit japan D-rai. (Thanks Brushfire!) I could always use another, plus the item and the new game sequences sound like fun.
  6. They should use that song for the credits. RabbitJoint...
  7. Would Rebel Assault count as a DOS game? I always liked that one, and its sequel.
  8. This game reminds me of Lego Racers. It doesn't look all that great to me. it looks like a racing/flying game (ala diddy kong racing) with some banjo kazooie characters. It was the platforming in the original that I loved, although finding 100 musics in EVERY level was soooo frustrating that I gave up.
  9. Lol, yeah, I got kicked a few times for strange reasons, like asking when the darkrai event was. They just have a computer system in place that kicks you if you mention the magic words, lol. Although, you can talk about them in the private chats.
  10. A great place to go to set up these kinds of trades is serebii.net. Check out the chatroom there; you can have a group chat or a 1-1 chat, so if, for example, we were to set up some trades here we could go there, find each other and get the 1-1 trades going.
  11. Shaymin? Darkrai? I would like them too... I can offer some stuff :D :D Please?
  12. I remember in his toruk (however you spell it) review he gave a positive mention of Metroid Prime, which got me to thinking: Aside from psychonaughts, do you think he ever will review a game he likes? If he liked MP, he would probably like MP3, but he still might complain about the controls in some way. Mind you, I enjoy seeing him destroy games I love. I think my favorite review is Mario galaxy even though I love the game.
  13. Hold on a sec! Am I to understand that there have already been darkrai events!?!? I thought the first was may 31-june 1! Could someone give me some info on these alleged movie events?
  14. Does anyone here know anything about the tanoby ruins in FireRed? I can't seem to find the ? unown, even though I'm in the right chamber. Do I have to do anything special before it appears?
  15. I can honestly say I love the pokemon games, But I can also honestly say I hate the way Nintendo goes with them. The whole 2 versions Idea is fine; after all, it makes it worth seeking out others with the other version to Catch 'em All! But I never liked the 3rd game, excepting Yellow, because that was really different. Although emerald brought a lot of new stuff, I only got it because you can catch all three legendaries in it. But, the continual addition of monsters is just unnecessary. I like the idea of adding only 100 more and making them uncommon and equalizers and Aninymouse said. I think after that, Nintendo can still do great things with the pkmn they have. Another thing; Should Nintendo step away from the normal gym badge thing? They did with Colosseum and XD, and those were pretty good, except there were only like 100 pkmn in total in them... I like the Gym badge system, but it's just so predictable. What I really want to see is a battle with Team Rocket (Or galactic, or magma, or universe, or whatever they want to call themselves) INSIDE A POKEMON CENTER! Epic! W00t! Or at least something to make it unusual and crazy!
  16. I'm glad to hear that there's more good third party games. A lot of it comes down to opinions, I'd say, and I'm fine with opinions when they're outside the realm of reviews. For example, I bought my dad Indianapolis 500 for the Wii for his birthday, despite it getting bad reviews on IGN. My dad loves the game and hasn't put it down for a couple days now, but that's mostly because he loves racing and the idea of a 10 season game is outstanding to him. I personally enjoy the game too, but that's mostly for the sense of speed and the VERY tight controls. Sure, excite truck is faster, but then again, indy 500 is more down to earth and the cars feel heavy, so it evens out. IGN gave the game around a 5, saying something like "This game has poor graphics, a poor sense of speed and just comes across as a budget title. Fans of the era will enjoy, though, and the controls and drafting effects are nice", or some such. True, the games doesn't have amazing graphics, but they're good enough; the sky is actually quite pretty. Poor sense of speed? Only if you've been playing F-Zero, lol. The point of this post? To try and show that people's ideas are usually based on opinions. Was I clear, or did I just ramble, lol? There ARE some games that are just horrible, however, like King's Knight for NES. I own the original and I can't believe big N allowed it to be put on the VC.
  17. My pokemon yellow and silver are still working, and My sister's pokemon red is still working too... 0.o I see no point in a remake of G/S/C. I would probably buy it anyways to make dex completion easier(E.G. instead of restarting FR 3 times to get the dogs. I"m probably going to buy XD and colosseum, anyways.) I honestly quite enjoyed FR; It was a great bit of nostalgia and just overall coolness. I got both emerald and FR just for dex; Nintendo sure knows what it's doing!!
  18. M$ is going blu-ray now? Sheesh, can't they make up their mind? Will the 'new' xbox still play HD dvds, normal DVDs and the backlog of games?
  19. I never heard of any metroid plans from retro after MP3, but I'm sure Nintendo plans on making more metroid, but I think they always said MP3 would be the last MP game. It's good, too; MP was an experiment that worked, but I think it's time to leave it before Nintendo accidentally maims it. Plus, if they can't get the atmosphere in it, then they CAN'T DARE to make another one. Atmosphere is what makes the metroid games, the MP ones in particular.
  20. I still have that game, and just watched how to beat level 25: Look who's shopping. 0.0 I need to pop it in the good old snes and FINISH THIS!!!
  21. I always got stuck on the level where the giant baby was IN the mall. I could never find that last victim, and if I did I couldn't find a key to get at it.
  22. It's totally different dev teams on smash and kart. I guess whoever's in charge of kart just figured out how to do it right.
  23. Fusion suit as an alternate costume o_0 Just looking at Pac-Man way up in the corner and thinking: what If pac-man was in brawl...?
