  1. they wanted to be able to manufacture enough to meet demand. I doubt it will be that hard to get a hold of. How sure am I of it? I'm not pre-ordering at all. I'm just going to walk into the store when it comes out and buy one.

    If they're telling the truth about trying to launch a new handheld in THREE territories within such a short span of time, I'm fairly certain that there's no way they'll be able to meet demand. Besides, as they learned from the Wii, the frenzy and buzz surrounding their hardware shortage worked in their favor for a long time - Wii was almost impossible to find on the shelf in many places for well over a year after launch and people would snatch them up just because it was such a hot commodity. I don't think this will be any different.

    I think the only way they'll be able to have enough systems for release is if they space out the launches in the different territories more reasonably. I'm expecting a "pushed to fall 2011" release date, and if that's the case then the shortage might not be as bad. But between the hardcore Nintendo fans, the kids looking to replace their aging DS's, and people who will be inevitably "wowed" by the demo kiosks that Nintendo is sure to set up in every Best Buy and Wal Mart across the country, I expect the demand for this device to be way greater than any supply Nintendo is capable of producing.

  2. My guess is they will be selling the obligatory bundle with 2-3 games, a carrying case, car charger, earbuds, memory card, and screen protector for the low low price of $499? I'm guessing it'll be in such short supply that they'll be able to sell out of bundles like that easily...

  3. Have to agree on this one, saw it last week and art and animation are absolutely gorgeous. The musical sections were a bit of surprise to me but I loved them, and the story was definitely a cut above some of the recent Disney fare. Definitely the strongest in-house Disney production in ages, and one I could see over and over again for the art design alone. I definitely hope they continue this trend, and that Glen Keane lends his hands to future 3D work.

  4. One day those big collections will be worth a lot.

    I kind of regret selling my games, now its not even worth it to keep them, only the MGS`s and the FFs stay..

    To be honest it's more a sentimental collection than one I figure will be worth anything in the future. I wouldn't mind holding onto all of the consoles in the future but if there was a way to get every one of my games magically onto virtual console and store them like that I'd probably be fine with it. I know ROMs work, but it's hard to get em for everything, and they don't usually work as good as the consoles.

  5. Holy shit.I've never seen so many games and consoles in one place, (Other then MAGFest of course)

    Yeah I really can't bring myself to part with em... So many fond memories with the old games - I can look at the console and/or a game for it and usually remember where I was working at the time, where I was going to school, what time of year I was playing it, who I was friends with back then - it's trippy. Being less of a gamer these days by necessity, it's strange to look back and see how much games were a part of my growing up.

  6. This might be the best "Tekken" game I've ever played - never been a fan of the original but in this format it definitely looks interesting and fun.

    I agree though that a new Capcom vs. SNK is waay overdue. I'd love to see Terry, Nakoruru, or Haohmaru get the SFIV treatment. Hopefully they put that project off long enough to really be able to do it justice but it's definitely something that should be revived - I still regularly play the 2nd one and in a lot of ways prefer it to the MvC series. I've always been a huge fan of the SNK characters, they just haven't been in any good games lately. BOOOO!

  7. I eagerly await your appearance on OCAD. Happy birthday and stay well, my friend!

    Edit: and the reason for the use of an old thread is obvious, isn't it? Makes you feel like you get more birthday love every year than you actually get!

    Trust me I'm dying to we just need to figure out a day got the mic and Skype (woohoo welcome to 5 years ago right?)!!

    Thanks everyone!! =)

  8. HIIIIIIIIII Guys! I'm an old ass Mofo, but this place makes me always feel young and loved. Just finished a personal project (unrelated to anything musical) and already have a list of remixes I'm hoping to work on very VERY soon. Sorry it seems to take me forever people, I still love y'all...

    Thanks to everyone for all the Birfday wishes, they mean a lot =)

  9. I was actually pretty pissed off to hear about this especially after hearing how Raimi finally got back creative control over the film after the studio made a trainwreck of Spiderman 3. Spiderman 2 is still one of my favorite superhero movies to this day and, not being familiar with the comics, the casting really didn't bother me. I was hoping for the 4th one to be a return to form but unfortunately that won't be happening.

    I also agree there should be some time between reboots, the Spidey trilogy is still somewhat fresh, a reboot at this point seems premature.

    We'll see what happens, I guess cautious optimism would be the expression... I look at what they were able to do with the Hulk (Ed Norton's version) and Star Trek and at least I have a little hope...

  10. OK Finally got my Christmas on, not a crazy year but got a few cool things:

    Uncharted 2 (yaay)

    Spirit Tracks (woohoo)

    Apple magic Mouse (sexy)

    5'x 7'collapsible greenscreen (cool!)

    District 9 Blu Ray

    Braveheart Blu Ray (fav movie of all time)

    Contact Blu Ray

    To Infinity and Beyond (Book about Pixar Studios)

    The usual assorted clothes and such

    and the very very best part:

    Time to spend with friends and family. This has been the first holiday season in 15 years I haven't worked 55-65 hour weeks, and having some time to spend with people has been more of a blessing than I could ever imagine. It sucks not having $$ but I wouldn't trade the time I've spent for anything in the world. Good stuff...
