DarkeSword   Administrators 🎮

You know they're still working on the game right? I mean, what they're showing you isn't coming out tomorrow.

Word; but by the same token, I wouldn't mind a Chrono Tactics spin-off game.

I was just trying out the admin menu. One thing that's really not so great is that you have to be really careful about selecting options; I've noticed that if I hold down a number key for any more than a split second, the input carries over to the next menu. I accidentally changed maps by just pressing "1." Any way we can get some kind of delay in there or non-repeating input?

Those headphones had better be waterproof.

Requests belong in Requests...moved.

Ugh, Quake soundbytes? Really?

http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q3-2008/070208a.html "Chrono Trigger DS will feature the classic multiple endings that it is famous for and will be unchanged at its core. Yasunori Mitsuda's score will return as will Akira Toriyama's character designs. The new additions to this version are dual screen presentation, touch screen functionality, a brand new dungeon, and an unspecified wireless play mode."

Discussing non-vg music in the Community forum is never unnecessary. I wish people would do it more.

By the same token, with the advent of virtual console, kids are getting exposed to old school games again. Don't forget about Mega Man Anniversary Collection either.

Well here's the thing: combine things like install-base, demographics, and publishing fees, and it probably makes more sense for Capcom to not bother with XBLA and PSN. Despite the fact that this is a retro game and despite the fact that a lot of Mega Man fans are adults now, the main demographic for Mega Man games is still the younger crowd. Most younger gamers have Wii. Install-base overall for Wii is greater than 360 and PS3. And in the end, it costs more to publish on all three platforms than it does on one. I guess Capcom figures that the potential revenue of 360 and PS3 versions won't justify the publishing cost. This is all conjecture, btw.

People will moomoo about anything. :\

That petition is everything that's wrong with art direction in video games these days. As if we really need more games with that washed out brown-gray look. One of the things I like most about Blizzard is that they don't shy away from actually using colors with some saturation to them.

I recommend Pownce.

Seriously, PS3 just for Mega Man 9?

Looks like it's Wii Exclusive. http://arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.ars/2008/06/27/megaman-9-to-be-the-first-game-to-hit-wiiware-xbla-and-psn

Bolded = what I'm running right now. My computer runs like a champ.

Hey Paulie. Submit some video game arrangements here. You too Lori.

You can make icons 32x32 and turn off the sidebar you know. Case-in-point: http://darkesword.com/desktop.png Vista.

Just wanna jump in here as a moderator of the forums and say that no, nobody is really free to make as much of an ass of themselves as they like. Let's try to keep that off the forums. I feel like I should comment on this whole deal, but to be honest I don't really care about OurStage or any of that stuff. All I will say is that comments like "fine, just ban us if you don't like it" are pretty inflammatory. By the same token, people shouldn't be trying to discourage others from posting opinions they don't agree with. Carry on. Civilly.

Alright, so I checked out the website and watched some gameplay videos. This looks like a game I can actually enjoy, so hooray.

Spoiler: I nearly pissed myself laughing when the ship tips over and all the fat people start rolling across the deck like blobs. Also, the credits were amazing.

Insane amount of system resources? :\ I think people forget sometimes that Vista isn't for old computers. It's for new ones. If you have the hardware to run Vista, it runs fine. I mean try installing XP on a machine built for 98SE; obviously its going to suck. Honestly, I've been running Vista for about half-a-year now and the only issues I had were with copying files over a network. Those issues were resolved completely with SP1. The only other problems I've had stem more from the fact that I'm running a 64-bit OS instead of a 32-bit OS, and that can't really be blamed on MS, but 3rd party software developers who won't get with the times.

It's overrated.

No, I don't love StarCraft.

Yeah, seriously; I mean I've never played any of the Diablo games. So is it like an action-RPG or a point-n-click-RPG? My problem with Blizzard is that they make games that look amazing, sound amazing, and are just amazingly put together, but they are simply not the types of games that I usually enjoy playing (MMO and RTS). Maybe Diablo III is the way to go? :\
