  1. http://www.joystiq.com/2007/08/23/bioshocks-little-sister-killing-gets-mainstream-attention/

    So the Little Sisters are getting in the news because some idiots think it's glorifying violence against children. They think that the monsters shaped like children are unacceptable to kill.

    Isn't that the entire point of the characters? To make people think twice about killing a monster? I thought the entire idea of the Little Sisters was to invoke a sense of 'shades of gray' attitude toward the decision to either kill an evil monster or save what seems to be a little girl, depending on your viewpoint.

    Some people don't seem to realize there can be a deeper meaning to video games such as this one.

  2. I was having a conversation about the demo with some friends earlier tonight.

    SLIGHT DEMO SPOILERS

    That one lady that had the cradle? there was no baby in the cradle i think it was a gun or something in there. but as soon as i saw her i pumped her full of lead (or wrench probably). My friends all sat and listened to her to see if she was a good NPC or something but i blew that bitch away. It was an interesting contrast.

    Yeah, I shot her with electricity at first sight. I'm not sure why I didn't give her much of a chance to prove herself good or evil. I just knew she was creepy as hell and I was having none of it.

  3. This game is going to be so good. I was playing the Xbox 360 demo last night, and I got to a part where it actually really freaked me out. So much so, I turned off the system, and started surfing the web for pictures of kittens to qualm the nerves.

    The environment is just that good.

  4. You can select him in tournament mode. He comes into battle pre-transformed though.

    Wow. I didn't know that. Then again, I've never really played tournament mode. The only Smash Brothers tournament I was in had multiple gamecubes and did the score-keeping by hand.

    When playing in the Winner Out and Loser Out variations of Tournament Melee, hold L & R while selecting any character. Your character portrait will show the Pokemon Ditto, and every match you will use a randomly selected character and color. Note: This does NOT work in the standard Tournament mode.
  5. Pretty neat update. I wonder how the final smash will work for him, or the individual pokemon. If I was a pokemon fan, this would interest me a lot more. My cousin is probably going crazy right now. He likes anything relating to pokemon.

    My guess is he calls out Mewtwo, or some massive pokemon. (Wait... Mewtwo may be playable?)

  6. Copy came in the mail today... oooo

    :razz: Same here. Listening to it now!

    :puppyeyes: I'm not worthy...

    In any case, nice packaging. Though, they kinda skimped on shrinkwrap. I could open it up without using any tools of any kind. And I just cut my fingernails to the bone last night! Now, the kind where you need a knife and plyers? That's how you can tell it's high quality shrinkwrap. Shrinkwrap aside, sounds great, Zircon.

  7. I've never really thought about it before this Mix, but it surprises me there are no other Pokemon mixes here. I consider the tunes classic. But until I can make a remix, who am I to talk?

    In any case, I am glad to see one, and I really like this mix. It brings me back to a cheery time--1998-99--when my friends and I were really into this game. Tweek definitely captures the mood of the Team Rocket area.

  8. It's a cartoon dinosaur with no genitals. I wouldn't worry about his sexual preference too much regardless.

    Yoshis are in fact asexual creatures. He can lay an egg on demand. And really, he has little empathy for his offspring--an interesting characteristic, no doubt.
