  1. I always thought DKC and its two sequels (though the third less so) were fantastic games. I grew up with these games and simply had a ton of fun with them before I'd ever even considered reading any kind of reviews of them or heard any feedback about them to know how highly rated they were. They train you to look for excellently designed secrets hidden in the environment (Why is that one banana a couple pixels to the left of the others? Jump to the left and boom, there's a bonus room in the wall) and had the fantastic addition of all the animals, each with individual physics (very distinct senses of speed and weight), and awesome special abilities (especially the spiderweb platforms Squitter shoots) with each that could be used to reach more out of the way bonus rooms later if you're careful enough to hang on to the animals. Plus, I love the barrel mechanic - that you have to carry and protect one through a level without jumping on a single enemy until reaching something that looks suspicious enough to use it. Like the bombing idea in metroid except you have only one and you have to be extremely careful what you do with it. And oh by the way, the best-looking graphics on SNES in part due to diverse, atmospheric and beautiful looking environments, and a series-wide soundtrack in my top 3 of all time. Not too bad!
  2. Why is the media and everyone so interested in this? I've been seeing stories and threads and articles about this everywhere. So it's just another crappy search engine. There's a million other crappy search engines too. Why is this one suddenly such a hot media item with all this speculation about whether or not it will dethrone google? It's new so all the attention can't be based on popularity - and according to you guys, it's not the quality either.
  3. I think it's great. Tron 2.0 (the PC game) was vastly under-appreciated and I think any effort to revitalize Tron is fine by me. Come on, Tron is awesome and cheesy and 80s and great and it has Jeff Bridges. How can you go wrong?
  4. Will us non-submitters get to download this thing? I'm in need of some Super Metroid goodness.
  5. NICE. This is great stuff! You're consistently putting out some of my very favorite mixes. Kickass. EDIT: This seriously might be in my top 10 favorites here. Those two breaks at 3:02 and 3:54 are just perfect (if I had to pick a favorite part). I can't stop listening to this.
  6. This is true, the original sonics really did have a lot of platformer elements - BUT I think a lot of people would agree that those sonics had a much better sense of speed (the most important thing about a sonic game) than the new ones, and I think that's what he was trying to get at.
  7. I second that, DS. Also, here's another take debating whether it may be fake.
  8. I made and wear this avatar because Ivan Ooze is pretty much the greatest villain from anything ever. Plus he always has a hilarious expression, and seeing it reminds me of some good memories of watching the Power Rangers movie.
  9. This is amazing news. I sincerely hope they don't split the dev team and make some shitty alternate wii version. This just might be enough to push me over the edge and buy a 360.
  10. Lot of people don't want to bookmark straight to the forums. That said: Was just noticing this about whenever you try to access any forum from any remix page - the dropdown menu always appears layered behind the last.fm player. Nothing big and nothing that bothers me, but I figured I'd post about it.
  11. IGN just listed this game in a list of most wanted DS games that are only coming out in Japan. I commented and mentioned the development blog where it says it will be worldwide, but maybe that blog is outdated and IGN knows something we don't. Or maybe not.
  12. I like this a lot - I just wish it had more of an ending, you know? It felt like it kind of just stopped instead of concluded. Still, very nice, hard-hitting work.
  13. 404 'd Also hahaha I'd forgotten all about this project. We definitely need some more.
  14. There must be something wrong with you.
  15. Speaking of metroid, happy page SR388.
  16. Man and I was so curious what the team would come out with after Prime 3.
  17. Pretty sure you can just trade it in for a new one? I thought they already shipped the fixed discs.
  18. Yeah valve seems to usually be really good about this kind of stuff.
  19. This is one of the only good mario flash series. Also http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/159033.html
