No takers?

So you mean fanfiction, right?
Get in line with the 50000000 other fanfic authors.

Should probably say that when I'm looking for team members, if you're a newb who has no work on the site, I will need a sample before I even consider you.

I'm still available for a team.

Who wants me on their team?

None of my stuff has any compression on it (except for Jenova).

I was getting direct-posted until I told Dave at MAG to slow down and let it go through the judging process so I can get some constructive feedback regarding my music.

Hey everyone!
I'm not able to spend much time to check everything out so far as my liberty is almost up and I'm still here at Parris Island, but I'm finally a Marine after almost 5 months! I've gotten a bunch of updates from Amy during my stay here and relished hearing about stuff, although I've probably missed a crapton of stuff everyone has been doing during that time. The journey to becoming a Marine was long and at some times arduous. Pain was a regular tool of discipline, and discipline is a big part of the Marine Corps, moreso than any other military branch.
I didn't get a letter from Will (Dyne) for some strange reason, but I got Jade's letter - it's silly for me to respond to it in writing though seeing as I'm going to be back so soon and in my current platoon we never really got much free time to write letters anyway. I'll probably give some more thorough updates, including some tales of boot camp this weekend when I finally will get to use my own laptop on my own time again. For now, take this as a confirmation that all is well and I'll be back to tell more soon enough! (and check up on project statuses
)Congrats. As a reservist, you'll probably be insta-deployed as soon as you finish your post-basic training training.
/i deployed before you, nyah nyah

Yeah the N64 vs PS1 debate, this is bringing me way back.
But back on topic, an $80 price cut is pretty nice. I'm interested in the 3D hardware enough that I ALMOST bought one at the launch price, but was waiting until some more software comes out (or a flashcart, whichever came first). I didn't think a price drop would come so soon but it makes sense considering the poor sales and upcoming Vita and it makes me much more likely to buy one in the near future.
Nintendo really did screw this one up though. If they would have launched the system with at least ONE killer first party app like a new Mario, F-Zero, or Zelda game and a $200 price tag, it might have been enough to get some players to pull themselves away from their DSs, but with that shitty launch what the hell were they thinking? It's like they didn't even care or think.
i haven't seen you forever if i wasn't in the middle east and you japan i'd fellate you

Cmon you're talking about the same ones that would drop trough the second Jobs shits out the next iteration of the same product or a new product that's heavily shackled by exclusivity, gimped by software, and overpriced over reasonable prices.
And that was Nintendo's DS market? What?
-
I don't think the type of audience I'm talking about really cares as much about those things.
that type of audience will n ever drop $700 on a phone for their 7 year old.

I think there's been a significant change in the overall handheld electronics market since the rise of Apple, smartphones etc. A big portion of Nintendo's handheld demographic has been children. But now the parents of these children have become pretty savy on these things, so why buy a 3DS for their kid when they could buy them a more serious and practical device that also plays Angry Birds?
Makes you wonder what this means for Sony. Nintendo has always made very cost effective hardware, and they are more than capable of taking a financial hit like this. But Sony is obviously investing a lot into the Vita by both making it very powerful and selling it at a low price.
Phones will never replace handheld gaming devices. One reason and one reason only: the shitty controls.

you had me until you started talking mario sports games
strictly in terms of game library though, the N64 was a much better system than the wii is
the jaggies made most anything remotely complex look like garbage, FFVII has more aesthetically pleasing character models than FFIX and that just shouldn't happen. the more detail added, the more mess created by the jaggyness
N64 might have lower res textures and often had to go a more simple route but I prefer a cleaner look regardless. I don't see how you can say objects were difficult to differentiate in N64 games by comparison, most of what's on screen at least retains its proper shape where zidanes face here looks like missingno
PS1 shot looks waaaaaaaaaaaay better to me. Look at the textures on the clothes; you can see fair amounts of ruffles and shit. What do you see on that bitches shirt? Nothing it's a gradient, there is no texture, except on her apron and sleeves.
Ugly as shit, makes it plain and unappealing.

psx's in game graphics were typically much worse, the only thing that made it more impressive were pre-renders
both systems look pretty terrible when you take a step back from that era of course
PSX having worse graphics is subjective in a lot of cases. Do you prefer sharp IQ but jaggy edges, or blurry massive blobs of pixels on your TV screen?
The N64 should not have been as awful as it was. It had no reason to be.
-
the sad thing is that the 3DS still doesn't interest me at all.
as for the apple comment...it would make sense, when you look at how they've rebranded themselves over the past 5-6 years it does scream "we want to be apple"
the N64 itself was good though, the playstation line was nintendo's blunder because it was supposed to be an SNES add on but they got greedy and backed out of the deal because they thought sony was getting too much
The N64 was an awful piece of hardware limited by extremely low memory (which is why textures are so blurry that you can rarely ever tell what anything is supposed to be) and, of course, carts.
How some companies managed to make the like 7 good games on that system alone is beyond me. There should have been 0 with that awful hardware.

From the article: Anyone who owns a 3DS system before August 11th will get 10 NES games and 10 GBA games for free. Pretty great if you've already got one.
Oh yay, you get a bunch of ancient as shit games that you've probably played 3000 times already.
Fuck that.
-
From $250 to $169. Holy shit. This was an awful, awful launch and they know it. Who the fuck did they think they were, Apple?
-
i look forward to the plethora of posts from people saying it's just as bad as ever
-
you know what i'll say this
i hope the wiiu is just as popular and hard to find as the wii was
that way i can make over $1500 selling 4 of them like i did in 2006 and 2007.

FF7 had bad graphics even when it was released. It only had CG movies that impressed people visually
also shariq, stop being such a nazi. this place used to be great before people had to walk on eggshells. you're the only one who cares, none of the other mods do. let people post. if things get a little OT it's fine, as long as it isn't completely derailed.
learn to step back and take stock before trying to insert your imaginary authority

The HD Zelda Tech demo apparently had an interactive component; also it can be seen running through the WiiPad:
All in all, love the bump mapping and lighting effects. If the Zelda tech demos of the past are anything to go by in terms of the final product; then this will be nothing short of jaw-dropping.
if its the normal zelda formula, it'll probably be tired and boring. hoping skyward sword breathes life into a dead franchise.

I bought my 360 arcade for like 300 in 2007, so no I don't think most consumers would go for a 400+ console out the gate. Ps3 and 360 prices came down fast.
PS3 prices stayed high for way too long, Sony kept believing their own hype that people would eventually wake up and think that $600 for a system was a good idea
