Wow. Just wow. That is completely epic. Whether it's awesome epic, complete ass epic, or "Tom Cruise in Legend" epic, I'm not sure. Definitely an epic April Fool's joke.

Bomb. diggity. That is all.

Nobody's screwing Nintendo, they're developing on whatever system will sell the most games and let them develop it how they want. For example: I think most people have to admit at this point that the N64 certainly LOOKED better than the PSX, by a long shot. Any side by side comparison of a game that released on both systems will show that. But the reason the PSX rocketed to the top of the market is that it was incredibly cheap for developers to simply use more than one disc for a game. See Squaresoft for further info. They could put beautiful cutscenes in their games to advance incredibly long stories, all for less than the cost of releasing on a cartridge. Cartridges didn't have the space the developers needed anymore. Moving into the Gamecube era, in October 2000, the PS2 released, and it was much like the second coming of Christ. The system simply dug in and fortified an incredibly solid market position for years to come. The Gamecube didn't have a chace in hell of getting on top of it, especially not with how well the new X-Box was received as well. What was the problem with Gamecube? Why couldn't it draw developers to make larger and better games for it? Once again, I'd say that at least one of the reasons was that Nintendo, just like they did with the N64, was using outdated storage mediums. They opted to go with the 1.4 gig minidiscs when every other system was using 4.7 gig full size DVDs, and even later on dual layer DVDs. They didn't have the storage space so many developers want. Now, Nintendo has done it again. In order to stay on the cheap side, they've given us a system that uses 4.7 gig discs when the rest of the gaming world is moving on to Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, with 25 to 50 gigs of storage PER DISC. Furthermore, they haven't even given us music CD playback with the Wii, an option that was built into the Playstation ONE that released 13 years ago. They did the same thing with DVD playback, an option found in the PS2 that released 8.5 years ago. I understand Nintendo's position that most people have those machines already, and I understand they don't want their systems to be multimedia machines, but a.) Multimedia machines are what a large chunk of the market wants these days and b.) when you could add something like that by simply writing a few more lines of code into your firmware, it's ludicrous to NOT have it. Fact of the matter is, I've used my PS2 for DVD playback since 2002. My PS2 was crapping out on that end in 2007, so I was excited when I bought the Wii because I thought I was getting a DVD player as well. Imagine my surprise. So I went out and had to buy a cheap ass DVD player for a year, and now I use my PS3 for DVD playback. Anyone else catching the irony? I didn't have a standalone DVD player like Nintendo thought I would, and I bought their system with one of the (minor) selling points being its supposed DVD playback. Turns out Sony's media behemoths are the only ones I can rely on to give me that. I would imagine this happens to consumers far more than Nintendo would like to think. I love Nintendo's games, and they've released some excellent and wonderfully fun stuff for their systems, but that's the key word, "they." I haven't bought a Nintendo system since the SNES for the third party games. I buy them knowing that the main reason for it was Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, and every other awesome first party franchise that simply isn't going to move to any other system. If I want excellent third party games, I buy a PS2 or PS3. That's where I get the Final Fantasy games, Metal Gear Solid, etc. The point is, gone are the days when people can only own one system to have their cake and eat it too. They were gone all the way back when the SNES and Genesis were competing and people wanted to play Mario AND Sonic. For some reason the fanboys turned it into a landwar in the N64/PSX generation and now for some reason it seems to be earth-shatteringly important that the system you own is on top of the market. Why? Buy what you need to play the games. It's about having fun anyhow. But my main point is that I personally think Nintendo should rethink their stance on jacking up the cost of a system by 100 to give us more options. People have shown that they'll willingly shuck out 500-700 dollars for a media center system like the 360 or PS3. If I was Nintendo I'd be on it like white on rice on a paper plate with a glass of milk in a snowstorm.

Truth, bold and blazing.

Are these the same thing as being an hero?

Was it by any chance a Rickroll?

Holla AT some John fuckin BURNETT! I was on your site tonight, thinkin' GOT-damn it's been a mufuggin millenia since we heard any music from Wangless. Fix that shit. Fix that shit right NOW.

The modgod couldn't stand by and watch the injustice anymore.

By the slimy left tentacle of Cthulhu, I've seen it all now. DarkeSword posted silence. No, actually, speaking of DarkeSword, I thought he might like to know his sig is wrong now, cuz, y'know, Thicket is, like, posted. And stuff. On OC ReMix. Yep. Which is to say, where's the NEW awesome in your sig?

Happy burfday Fish-HEY! Also happy burfday 2 myf, our resident gigantic black guy who is somehow younger than me but looks quite a bit older! And also vocalwagnerian, whoever the hell he is.

tldr. I think we go about this the wrong way. You wanna educate your kid in the proper paths of awesome, you pull out the SNES and let 'em cut their teeth on Super Mario World, Link to the Past, and Super Metroid. Then you bust out the Genesis and let 'em play Sonic so they understand why you won't rent Sonic Adventure 14 or whatever for them, because it's a rape of all that was once good with the world. Know your roots man. All that's to say, if we all have to know things like the fact that Columbus discovered this rock in 1492, why don't we educate our kids in how awesome games used to was?

Totally worth the read just for this picture: He looks like someone's sodomizing his dog in front of him. This should definitely be an avatar. Either way, all Jack ever makes me do is LOL, so I applaud his efforts.

Yeah, I walked into Darnassus and took his fucking STAFF. Because I played Alliance.

[chriscrocker] LEAVE HORTE ALONE!!!! HE LOVES HIS AUNT!!!! [/chriscrocker]

I still like my comparison better. I translated that shit. Besides that, according to Dave, who is right about EVERYTHING: "He is sooo Indian! Like, in such a major way!" That doesn't actually mean anything, but I found that line in the video hilarious.

Q.F. FUCKING. E. My hatred of EA in general is well published, but Nintendo's utterly worthless implementation of online multiplayer is screwing them, and hence their consumers, completely. The way friend codes have to be used to even get two people together is ludicrous, because Nintendo has gone SO far into the realm of keeping the kiddies safe that the service is literally unusable.

After extensive review of your provided source material and 3 minutes in Photoshop, the actual Nice Work Guy had the following to say:

Wait. We're obviously talking about different sites here. because maturity is not a hallmark of the OC ReMix I frequent. See here here, here, here, and here for a few examples. Are we serious about our love for game music? Yes. Are we serious? No. Our forums aren't run by teenagers on a whim, they're run by the only man to ever beat Chuck Norris in a staring match on a whim. So there.

Geoffrey Taucer claims to know who he is, but he posted neither proof nor bewbs to prove it, so it didn't happen. Either way, we don't know who he is, but he's definitely the official OC Remix mascot. Our own special meme.

If you even have to ask that question, you are suffering from stupid and AIDS. Also probably dick ants. Yes. Buy it. Several times. Beat all 3, then go buy a PS3 and shit bricks while you wait for the 4th.

I was looking through screenshots of StarCraft 2, and found further proof that Blizzard just kicks ass right here:

I have this mental image of a Japanese man in a business suit laughing maniacally as he hooks up a vacuum tube to the dried, cracked and dusty udders of his cash cow, hoping to extract that one last curdled drop before the damn thing just putters out and dies. Or implodes because of the suction. Where's the creative teams that gave us 6 and 7 (and in my opinion 10)? Did they die? Why can't they make a good game anymore?

It's not that I don't like the game, I love it. But, on the internet connection I have at home, it became truly more frustration than fun to play, so I nixed it until I can find a better connection. Add to that the fact that I have no extra time and no extra money to play right now, and it was just time to hang it up. But I would like to play again once Lich King comes out.

Suh-WEET! Gratz Tweek! Now bring back the frogs!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! I QUIT. I realized after 6 weeks of trying to orchestrate a reliable group to run me through Strat for my pally mount that I just did not give a shit anymore. That and the fact that I consistently played with 2+ seconds of lag for over 10 months, so I realized that moving forward and trying to be worth a crap in PvP just wasn't going to work. So I quit. I've enjoyed life quite a bit more since then. That is all.
