OK, can I start to visit other peoples towns and have them visit mine now or do I have to wait until after a scripted event.

And will Nook ever give me a break and pay me? I've done four or five erands for him and he hasn't given me anything.

I decided to hop on to claim my name now in case I saw a need in the future only to discover Stratos was already taken. So I picked another name.

I'm just wondering who on the boards uses it and what for? Do most of you like it or find it silly and unnecessary? Do you guys think it would be beneficial to the site for the staffers to have one, especially for quick updates at trade shows?

IGN gave GTA 4 a 10 as well and most people agree that was overrated too.

I use the backloggery to track my games. I like to use the fortune cookie feature to pick random games I own to continue playing.

I got the game.

Can't decide which house to get...can you change what the walls and floor are made out of later or the color of the roof?

You could get them in stores. Fry's and Wal-Mart carried them.

Yeah, I can't beat ANY of your times Mop it up. You did too fine of a job. I tried my darnedest and still can't squeeze out those last seconds on the Mario Raceway 64 track to beat you.

Or they just didn't care.

True.

I know Breath of Fire has a similar issue since the 2nd is on the VC but not the first. Though I think that one was a different publisher issue.

I remember getting excited whenever I opened up a second cauldron in a pair for BK because a lot of them are much later in the game. I found like 4 or 5 first cauldrons before I found a single second one so I was happy when I could finally use a set for warping.

I think a WiiWare sequel to Military Madness is in the works.

Ninja Spirit was already in a previous poll and lost hopefully you'll help our cause next time it appears in the poll.

now stay off the questionable porn sites and install an adblocker & noscript & you should be ok as long as you have the necessary virus & spyware protection too.

Your telling me there are unquestionable porn sites? They're all sketch to me. Computer plague waiting to happen.

I was more referring to having pictures in the main review. I think your idea is great.
Or we could have a link to the forum topic for said game and those usually have a lot of pictures and video in their first few posts.

Check this close match out. All manner of dogs, bombs and weapons being thrown are used. I barely won it. Very intense. Nice I got 3 victories today. Another day like this and I should be to level 8. I missed a few days this week so I need to play catchup.

There are a lot of good characters, but most of them are one-off and pretty forgettable.   There's maybe... what, 5 characters in the Zelda franchise that are actually notable?  Link, Zelda, Saria, Impa, Ganon, Aghanim...

I disagree. Daurian the Goron, Tingle, Sahasralah, Naboru, Ruto, the Owl, Talon, Marin, Bow Wow, Navi, Skull Kid, Happy Mask Salesman, the King of Red Lions, Tetra...I could go on if you like.

Besides, as Mop it up said, you can use mafia to flesh out lesser known characters. All you really need are names and avatars for characters in this game.

Tingle Mafia would be the best.

LOL, Rosecolored Rupeeland Mafia FTW!

...& awkward locker room moments.

I love awkward locker room moments. Would never want to go through another one again, but they are funny in retrospective once you make it through counseling. I learned my first dirty words and about the birds & the bees in those moments.
