Awesome, I appreciate it. Thanks anyway, Soundscape.

I want to hear these so bad. Schwartzvald sent me some Mega Man remixes a week or two ago, but I don't think it's the same stuff. How do I get a hold of those CDs?

Well, every state has its own tax rules. I have to pay 10.90 for 1000 points (9 %). Some reportedly pay no taxes for games. By the way, the Nights Into Dreams reviews have been kinda mixed. Is anyone bothered by this?

Well, the kid playing him is pretty young, don't you think. And even a kid as young as him can play someone 5 years younger.

I heard Dragon Ball was orginally going to be directed by the guy who directed Kung Fu Hustle. That would've been a winner. Oh well, at least they picked a good actor for Bulma imo. Edit: Kung Fu Hustle guy is producing. I'm cool with that. The girl who is playing Bulma isn't listed on imdb though. She was mentioned on IGN the other day (some goofy white girl who looks perfect for the part).

I meant the title of the first female lead, but apparently I forgot to say that. Oh well. What was the first to game to feature gratuitous amounts of blood? Maybe Splatterhouse?

"Does Ms Pac Man (1982) count? (and what on earth is a dominant ovary?)" Pardon my alien language. What I meant to say was that Samus was the first non-stereotypical female game character. You know, not a girl who struts around with bows and wearing dresses and stuff. But, yeah, I think Ms. Pac Man takes the title anyway.

Ninja Gaiden - First cinematic action game? Or the first well-known one?

Samus was the first non-stereotyped heroine, if you ask me. Sure, there were a couple of ladies, but did any of them have the dominant ovaries that Samus possesses?

I'm not dissing the movie, but I will be waiting until it comes out on video. It was sold out down here for the last three days, so yeah, I'll just pick it up on DVD in five months, like I do for almost every movie.

Yeah, there's a whole bunch of different stories on every mythological beast. What I was saying is that the Hollywood representation of the vampire is much different from the kinds that are most likely to exist - the ones who are researched by those interested in the paranormal (if you want to hear more about it than PM me or ask me right here. I'm not going to shove it down your throats unless you ask. I've tried to do it before and just wound up digging myself a deeper hole). Anyway, I'm just saying that the American vampire and the vampire are two very different things, and I think that the original one gets represented in the wrong way. Kinda like a witch being compared to the one that has a big boiling pot and flies around on a broom.

Like I said, I'm trying not to go there. But if you insist, I'll tell you a little story. There are perfectly sane/"normal" people that run into all kinds of things, things that can be seen are seen very often. I've tried 1,000,000 times to explain my views dealing with things like this, and 99% of the time, I get laughed at, called a weirdo, or ignored. I'm not going to attempt to get anyone to believe anything, but I will state my stance. I am a sane person who lives a productive life, who is completely immersed in the technological world, yet my belief in things beyond accepted scientific fact makes me appear as a nut case in front of many people, especially those who don't believe in anything that can't be seen or measured. Imagine if you knew something was fact, not because you wanted to, but because you were just an average joe, except you and a few friends stumbled into something that would appropriately fit within the confines of a horror novel or a witchcraft book for young teenage girls. You didn't expect to see anything, you weren't a religious person, you weren't a crazy person, maybe a little bit of anxiety and a problem with biting your nails. Then, things start happening that aren't supposed to happen. Stuff so crazy and out-of-the-ordinary, that you could post it on an internet forum based on video game remixes and cause people to laugh their asses off. You and a select few people encountered the paranormal. Productive college graduates who have normal days jobs, don't worship and dieties of any sort (besides a few who are pseudo-Christian to a degree) - but there's one problem. We all saw something. Someone who knew nothing about it just happened to be around us, and ran into the same thing. It was completely real. Then you find books about it in various libraries, you read stuff about it on the internet. Stuff about the people you thought were crazy, but weren't lying at all. The same things happened to them as well. Before, you thought they were crazy or delusional. Yet the rest of the world thinks you are crazy if you mention it. I'm not even going to mention what was happening in the place where I came from. It fucking happened and I know it did, and you can call me bat shit insane for all I care, I know what happened still exists, yet I can't hate a single person for not believing me - What else should I expect of someone who has never encountered it themselves? Nothing. But I can expect something of someone who respects me - And that is not to call me insane or laugh at what I tell them about this. So yeah, that was a bit much for a thread about a Will Smith movie. You can now commence talking about Will Smith.

No, you can study them. They have been horribly mis-represented by American pop-culture (you can blame the Brits for this too). Americans don't even know what they really are. I research paranormal phenomena, it's something I've done for ten years now, and whether they are real are not, Hollywood's portrayal is a far cry from that of the original vampire. Also, don't be so quick to dismiss things as non-existent. But that's a PPR-type thing, and I'll try to keep from going too far here.

Yes, you have to configure your second wiimote to have administrator privileges. Create a new user account for the second wiimote, and change privilege to admin.

I'd like classic Mega Man, but a little taller like Mega Man X, and a guy's voice, not a 7-year-old girl's. Kinda like the look of Mega Man in the really awful cartoon, except without the cocky 'tude. That's what I'm hoping for, assuming we get any version of him at all.

Nintendo/gamestop have made a program for the Wii-less. You can go to gamestop and reserve a Wii that you will get no later than Jan. 31st. Just thought I'd let you folks know. http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/12/nintendo-announ.html

I disagree with you. Make him a playable character instead!! I agree with the vegatable thing though (if he's an AT).

It's acceptable for anyone to make fun of Bush. My Dad's a republican and even he can't stand the guy. Now, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Christmas.

Hannah Montana For Brawl Replace Luigi!!!

I want some really cool shoes that make me run faster and jump really high. That's about it. Maybe some new underwear and a box of chocolate. Edit: Yesterday, my girlfriend said that she got me something really cool, but it isn't the kind of thing she wants around the house. That must make it awesome, right? What do you think?

I'm tired of hearing about people dying all the time. It's depressing.

QFE Actually I could tolerate X, since he's so cool, but the original Mega Man is my first choice by far.

Yeah, I want to play brawl with Shael. I need to post my friend code on Drack's database. Maybe I'll do that tonight.

Every new Street Fighter is awesome. Street Fighter 4 will be awesome. I'm pretty confident in this.

No hard drive, keep friend codes, false release dates, millions of dollars on useless wiimote jackets, and now this. Are Nintendo clueless or just insane?
