You should turn some of those creatures over to the museum.

And I just want to state, Brewster if my hero and favorite character in the game. He reminds me of the coffee shop I used to frequent in Portland and it makes me miss them back there something fierce. They gave me free stuff all the time like extra shots, mistake beverages, unclaimed beverages, donuts if I was there around closing and there were some left. There were two I really frequented and both had amazing coffee.

I wish I could go back...

Tell that to our monster PM we've created back and forth for the past several months.

I blame it more on the sheer amount of them they throw at them.

It reminds me of some Goldeneye levels on the harder difficulties that had infinite spawning enemies. I always hated that about the game. It was a spy game and I thought you should be able to eliminate every enemy in the level and wander around freely to finish the objectives.

You could in some cases.  I had a blast in that one Goldeneye level where you had to escape from the jail cell and take out the facility just luring enemies into my cell one-by-one so I could take them out and take all their guns.  Then I'd just tour around the facility blowing things up with no one left to stop me, even on the highest difficulty level.

EDIT: Incidentally, I was window-browsing my local Gamestop today and they still had one copy left of the Conduit Special Edition.  Damn, I almost bought it just to have a copy without the ****ty cover art...but I must resist...Batman's only 2 months away, and my backlog's insane as it is...

So there is an end to the enemies. I don't recall if I even found an end to the deluge on that level. It felt like there were always more.

I also want to complement Thatguy for his unique play style. I haven't played with someone as agressive with their craziness yet and it was both shocking and fun.

What a return to the forum mafia games!

May I ask what they all were? I listed some legitimate ones as well and am curious if they intersect. Maybe that means more people did as well and they will take notice.

I'd like to point out that an IGN article about this can't do math. They have the total amount that you'd spend on the current in-game content as $14. So I guess IGN wants to throw $2 in the garbage...

Also, they referred to Red Fly Studios as the developers of the Ghostbusters DS, which is factually inaccurate.

They're also considered one of the biggest video game outlets online.

A lot of people also consider them the biggest joke in gaming news outlets.

Don't beat yourself up for it. It is very challenging I'll bet to keep track of all the crap floating around, especially with people like thatguy confusing the hell out of everyone about what was real and fake.

You did a good job in spite of all the craziness.

I really wonder what effect the surveys have on anything. I doubt they'd be used to determine anything regarding game releases.

I was brutally honest with the SSBBrawl survey and I'm sure it was discarded for being a "joke"...

Let me guess, you were upset that Birdo wasn't a playable character, let alone an assist trophy? He'd be a pretty good one i would think. He could spit eggs and people could grab them and throw them at people too.

I used to love that cartoon. Disney after school cartoon block with Tale Spin & Darkwing Duck

I loved the Disney Afternoon! All of them have DVD collections available on Amazon. I'm going to get them all once I have the spare cash.

And for the record, I always wanted Dale to get Gadget. I thought it was funny how they always fought over her affections.

I'm sure Nintendo was quick to deliver a 2nd shipment.

But how much will it be? I'm going to guess close to the first one in size or a bit less. I'm going to assume both 1st and 2nd shipments will sell out quickly.

Yeah, the game saves your checkpoint progress. I discovered that when I got bored on the second level and left halfway through the mission. I started the game back up and it put me at my last checkpoint. Pretty nice I think.

It's not the driver. There was a system update that included the addition of WiiSpeak support.

I donno, would Nyko or Mad Catz or someone have a Wii headset available if this was the case?

It probably depends on demand. Until now Animal Crossing was the only game that used it. I have a feeling Conduit has opened the floodgates and more games will start to use it. It already has a market with the various sound issues in game.

I think someone may be working on one.

everyone is gonna choose Chip since Dale is the obvious answer.
But everyone is gonna think of that already and vote for Dale since everyone is gonna vote for Chip to avoid the obvious answer.
Therefore everyone ends up voting for Dale making Chip the minority vote, since Dale was too obvious of a choice to avoid.

EXACTLY!

Damn, someone beat me to the Princess Bride reference.

Weren't the extra costumes in MLaaK only 100? They must have sold enough to feel comforatble raising the prices to 200.

I may get this game but after the underwhelming DLC in the previous game (not all of it, just most of what I got) I'm very sceptical this time around.

Sadly I probably won't be on tinight. I am working on my resume and applying at a new job. Plus I promised to play BWii with Pro tonight. Depending on when we finish and how I feel I may be on after that but it may be late.

Ah, oops.

So how long until Resort hits a million y'all think?

Before July end's I'm going to guess. Japan will sell around 700k alone by then and the US will probably open with about 550k from launch to the end of the month.
