Well, this is unfortunate news...

I can only hope they can do better, but I doubt it highly....

You can't call yourself a gamer unless you've beaten Super Mario Bros. That is the MINIMUM requirement. Nothing in video games you've ever done counts unless you've met this prerequisite.
If you play games as a hobby, then you're a gamer, there are no prerequisites.
That's just my two cents on that.

I see where this thread is going now that more have seen it.
I'm beginning to agree about Deadpool, he's a good character in the comics, and he was woefully under used in the movie, then again, this is about Wolverine here. At least Stan Lee didn't make his 8 billionth cameo in this movie (sorry, he's been in enough comic book movies now)....
I'm very hopeful for Star Trek, counting the days till Terminator, and amped to see Transformers.
Yeah, I know Transformers 2 is going to have just as much ridiculous action as Wolverine, but at least that's what I expect from Michael Bay. Plus, the special effects will look way more realistic than it did with some of Wolverine (at least to me).
-
Well, when I first saw the teaser for the movie, I was excited, then I saw the trailer for the movie, and the action in it was just like, wha? And my suspicions for the movie were correct of if it was going to be bad (at least for me). Look, I don't go to movies for realism, nor do I expect it (I'm of the very few that probably enjoyed Indiana Jones 4). But at least make most of it consistent as you can.
It did some of the Wolverine comics okay, but that's from what I know of Wolverine. I liked some of the cameos, but even then, some of them just didn't seem that necessary, or important.
Oh well, at least Star Trek comes out next week...

Back when I was in high school, I wrote a potential movie of Samus Aran's origin, I remember fondly doing the scene where Samus' father is flying a ship their in, him trying to get it to crash it "safely", and after the landing, keeps the blast doors closed (a large explosion happens after they land), he sacrifices himself for them.
The Chozo arrive to late to help fight the pirates, they find Samus' mom and her in the ship, they take the both of them, but as they walk away, a captured space pirate pulls out a gun and shoots Samus' mother, killing her.
A particular Chozo elder takes her with him.
Yeah, that's the only fan fiction I've ever really written, I never really finished the story, and I lost it at that.....
As far as an origin movie, if they casted the right girl, had a competent director, then I'd be willing to see it.

Stumbled onto this thread from another site, but the guys at NeoGAF have been making some really cool box art for their favorite games, akin to what the Criterion Collection does with films.
Here's and example...
No doubt many will find a favorite, and, you can even get some of these as printable!
The GAF Collection....

Sorry, I know that this looks like shameful promotion of other sites, but this is just too cool to pass up...

Brasero maybe?
Well, only problem is that you're dealing with GD-rom, which unfortunately for you were burned on reverse mode...
Never heard of a disc-driver that could do this.
I'll check up on Brasero, I've read K3b can do it, but I'll probably have to do a ton of work with it.
I'll still try to buy the games legitimately though, even though it really doesn't make much difference with it.
-
Okay, so I have the dreamcast, and now, to get the cords, controllers, and a few games.
My only big problem now is how on earth am I going to burn the games onto a disc in Ubuntu....
-
Ah, I think either the thread title is misleading or Toadofsky meant something else in his initial post, but just pointing out that I think he did say that his friend was giving the Dreamcast to him, not selling it (aside from the thread title). But if he really is buying it from his friend then I agree with you!
Great, not only did I misspell "cord", I even got the title of my topic wrong.
Yeah, Coop, he's giving me the Dreamcast, he's not making me pay for it. So I think I'd come out alright with buying the other things for it. Like I said, he's sure that it works. One of his friends had given it to him, but forgot to give him the cords, and they somehow wound up in Evansville IN with one of my other friends....

Are you looking for something like this?
I know i'm a douche :/
a;fjwhj;ooi!!! i was beaten to the punch.
You know, I thought I misspelled that... Thanks for the joke though.
And the ThinkGeek order was what made me bring this up, plus, I already saw it was sold out... sigh...
I see your point though, You know, I was going to set up a pay pal account, but then I had heard about a fake pay pal site that was ripping people off around the time I was going to set my account up, I'm paranoid over the internet I know. Guess I'll take the plunge though.
Could you maybe give me some tips on Ebay? Just how to look at reliability of the sellers or businesses within Ebay? Sorry if I'm being lazy about it, I like to get your guys' advice on some of this (and I'm seriously crappy at typing tonight).
And thanks for the info on some of those other games!

I typed up the name of the thread wrong, it's So I'm getting a Dreamcast....
I always dislike making topics, but, here it goes...
Well, my room mate has a dreamcast that he's going to give me (he left it at his old place he used to live at), and I've ALWAYS wanted one, even when I was a die hard Nintendo fanboy back when it first came out.
The only thing though, it doesn't have it's power chord, memory card, controllers, or av cables, or even games. So, my question to you guys is...
What would be a good website(s) to order those things, at a reasonable price? My room mate is pretty sure it's in good working order, but in case it isn't, at least I won't be out of a huge amount of money. I'm not so worried about getting games, if you know what I mean, (yeah, I know that's bad), but that's my second option if I can't find a game reasonably priced, let alone find one for it.
Yes, I know Ebay would be the best, but are there any other reputable websites that I could order from, without getting screwed? I rarely order things online (I've only bought 2 shirts, and a decal for my Nintendo Wii) so I'm kind of in the dark with this.
You don't have to recommend any games, I've got a good idea of what games I'm searching for, but any suggestions other than Sonic Adv. 1 and 2, Rayman 2, Ecco Defender of The Future, Shenmue, Ikaruga (already on my gamecube), or Jet Set Radio are welcome.
If this is flame bait, well, go ahead....

Read an article in I think a Sci Fi magazine or Popular Mechanics, and Lucas has enlisted guys to make a database of all the Star Wars stories, characters, planets, time-line, you name it, it's being put into it.
Of course, a good sum of it, just as it has been summarized, is not part of official cannon.
It was funny, because in the interview with the guy (and yeah, he gets paid to do all that), he typed something up, that showed something that isn't even out yet, or has yet to be shown in at least another year or two (he had to cover the monitor up so as not to spoil it).
I agree, Timothy Zahn's work on Star Wars, as well as Karen Travis', is excellent. The Republic Commando books really show a side of the clones that you don't get to see. I can't wait for the next Republic Commando book.
Man, I wish they would bring another Clone Commmando game out, that first one was incredible.
-
Hmm, I never really got that engrossed into Star Trek, I loved the movies, and I enjoyed some of the episodes in The Next Generation, but never got into any of the other series. Not that I disliked it or anything, just wasn't something I dove into like I did with some of the Star Wars books.
I did enjoy Nemesis alot, more than some people I know.

I didn't play Chrono Trigger till about 2 years ago, on an emulator. Back when I played Super NES, I didn't really get into RPGs, I thought they were boring. Of course, I was like 8, and I would mostly play platformer games. The only RPG I played heavily was Super Mario RPG (which I think is what got me to start playing them).
Anyhow, I agree, you associate (in your mind) those good feelings when you play from a certain game in the past, and if you ever go back to play it, sometimes it will either,
A, not be as good as it was...
B, still have that spark.
I have to say though, that some games I didn't play until a few years ago. Super Metroid, Earthbound, and Chrono Trigger were a few games I didn't initially like in the beginning, but now, they're my top favorite games.

I thought this was about the relatively unknown DS FPS.
It's filled with glitches and sucks, apparently.
I was thinking the same thing, that John Denver is full of Sh$@ man.
Seriously, this movie looks very interesting.
-
I love that song, and I really liked the article. I've been waiting for a new Pilotwings, c'mon Nintendo, what gives?
I need to fly a gyrocopter with Goose again!!!
Hmm, maybe E3 will show or say something about it.

That's hot right there....

And the hits just keep on coming. Looks like Midway is trying to pull it's own AIG-ish stunt...
http://www.gamespot.com/news/6207127.html?tag=latestheadlines;title;5
Then they (the CEO and top executives trying to pull this stuff), don't need that money from selling the franchises.
Same goes for the banks pulling this crap. They have the power to fire the boss of a car manufacturer, why can't they do that to the banks?
Forget I said that, I hate politics, mainly because of the hypocrisy in it.

Good thing I'm running Ubuntu Linux, but I'll probably unhook the computer from the net tonight, just in case.
As far as I know, it's only going after Windows OS.
I wonder why I'm asking this, but why do people get a thrill from making this junk? Why do they even make this crap in the first place? Just to say, yeah, I wrecked thousands of computers across the U.S.

I agree, both tasks were ultimately very annoying.
However, the temple was at least exciting/infuriating. The triforce hunt just felt... well, ho-hum. One of the few times anything in WW did, for that matter.
I'll be the first to admit that that's the only fault I had with that game. But then again, they said they had to cut two dungeons out to get the game to meet it's release date. Maybe if they had delayed it just a bit more, we could have had an even bigger better game.
Not that there's anything wrong with it.
Sorry, had to put in a Seinfeld reference.

I bought Bit Trip Beat, and that game is amazing. It gets pretty hard too. I love how everything just flows together, and it's pretty funny what happens when you start messing up a lot.
That is one of my top faves on WiiWare right now, lots of fun. Showed it to my friends, they were really interested in it.
As for good games on Wii Ware, WAIT FOR CAVE STORY. I know I played the game on PC, but since I'm running Ubuntu Linux, I'm just gonna buy it, as a way of support, for the DLC, and just cause I'm too lazy to figure out how to get some of those games a going on Ubuntu. Yes, I know how to run WINE, just don't play much PC games.
I really hope Majora's Mask comes to VC soon, I haven't played that game in years. WHEN IS PLOK! COMING?! OR RAYMAN 2?! Or CHUCK ROCK?! They need them on there!! And when is the possibility of Sega CD games coming on there? Surely if they do Turbo Graphics 16 CD games, they could do Sega CD games.
And if there's any re releases I wanna see, it's Dreamcast games. As nice as it'd be on VC, not possible on the storage, but they could definitely release a few games on one Wii Disc or two, and I'd pony up the dough to play them. And have the option to play motion/standard controls in them. That is all.

I was beginning to worry this project was dead, but I'm thankfully proven wrong.

Don't worry about the next Tomb Raider...
Tetsuya Nomura will probably be in charge of the character design.
So you should be playing Kingdom's Raider soon.
That's all I'll need, Goofy and Donald, AND a possibly androgynous male involved. Hopefully, they won't make Lara into an big busted girl like Tifa was originally.
Honestly, what was going through the character designer's head when he drew Tifa, wait, why did I even ask?

I never completed Phantom Hourglass because, like Yahtzee, the Temple of the Ocean King can go fuck itself. I'm not doing the same fucking puzzles each time I re-enter, while having unbeatable bad guys chase after my ass on a TIME LIMIT. I'm pretty sure it's the only Zelda I haven't completed (besides Zelda II), but it's the first I just refuse to complete.
In regards to Spirit Tracks, I'm going to get it whether it's up to par with the rest of the series (yay fanboy-ism), but I really hope it doesn't repeat everything I disliked about PH.
I'm sure Nintendo listened to the criticism, and hopefully took it into account. That wasn't why I didn't finish the game, the ice dungeon had some stupid timed event, and I couldn't get past it because I had to walk some tight rope, so I just said screw it.
I still like Phantom Hourglass though.

I'm very excited for this movie, can't wait to see it. And that's saying alot, since I never really was into Star Trek. Maybe it's because Simon Pegg, and J.J. Abrams are involved with this movie...
