I like to think that the awesome surprise item will become available just after all our coins expire.
Anagrams are fun!
$5 is a fitting price for M:OM, IMHO.

General Gaming / Re: Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection for PS3
« on: February 01, 2011, 02:04:01 PM »The funny thing is this--more than any other game--is what might get me to eventually buy a PS3.
Is it because of the visual improvement of the games, especially Shadow?
Yeah, I've never played either of them, but they're both on my bucket list. But after all the horrible things I've read about Shadow's frame rate, I think I'd be much better off playing the PS3 version. Don't really care about up-resing or anything like that.

TalkBack / Re: Gamestop Pricing 3DS Games Between $40 and $50
« on: January 31, 2011, 01:27:36 PM »
Game Stop charged $35 for most DS games for the first 6 months of the systems' life. After that, they dropped down to the normal $30 price point we all know and love.
My guess is they're just doing this because they know early adopters will be willing to pay a premium to play games on their shiny new system.

There might not be a new Mario game around launch, but you can play this 1989 classic.
Except you won't be able to play this 1989 classic at launch either.
Except on your Game Boy.

Isn't that what I just said? Directors get first dibs on review consoles. I think I recall Windy getting the Wii. Jon got the DSi. Jon also got the DSi XL but he gave it to James.

Maybe this is a stupid question, but have any Kinect games come out since the launch of the device? I haven't been paying close attention, but I honestly can't think of a single notable release.

What is this "Director money" you speak. I could use it.
You mean to tell me NWR won't be getting a free 3DS for reviewing purposes? I seem to recall Nintendo sending you a DSi and a DSi XL.
As director, I believe you have first dibs.

What do you expect for eleven dollars? Products don't generally go down in price, they lower the price and lower the size of the item so you think you're getting a better deal when really you're still paying the same amount. Happens at the grocery store all the time.

General Chat / Re: FOX Prime Time Cartoons - First poll up
« on: January 26, 2011, 05:12:46 PM »A good comedy doesn't need continuity. But once continuity is established taking it away does not make any sense. You either consider it important or you don't. You don't just decide one day after adhering to it for years to remove it. Or at least if you do such a thing you can expect some people to be put off by it. It's like how South Park would have Kenny die in every episode with no explanation given as to how he was alive in the next episode. It was funny so it didn't matter. BUT it was also established from the very first episode that this was how it worked. It isn't like one episode, several seasons in, Kenny died and then was back in the next episode with no explanation given. If a non-Halloween episode of The Simpsons ended with Bart getting decapitated and then he was alive in well in the next episode with no explanation given it would probably kill off the show's viewership.
What about when Kenny died for real and was gone for most of--the entire?--season? Continuity was introduced. Then it was taken away again when he returned.
What about the fact that no one on the The Simpsons ages, despite seeing several birthdays during the nearly-20 seasons it's been on the air? Does that bother you?

Continuity is generally a good thing. But when the writers choose to ignore it, it gives them a lot of freedoms they wouldn't otherwise have--such as having Homer work for a James Bond villain for an episode. A great idea doesn't necessarily have to be stifled because it doesn't fit with the continuity of the entire show. This is especially true with cartoons--the fact that they're animated generally allows the viewer to be more-forgiving about over-arching story lines from episode to episode.

After reading this thread, I've come to 3 conclusions:
First, you guys take The Simpsons way too seriously. I don't understand why someone would be bothered by the lack of continuity in a cartoon.
Second, American Dad must have improved a hundred-fold since the first season, because what I watched of it was pretty much garbage.
Third, everyone needs to stop referring to Simpsons episodes by the episode title alone--please accompany it with a one-sentence summary. Despite seeing the episode close to 10 times, I have no idea what The Principal and the Pauper was until Insanolord explained it in one of his posts.

« on: January 25, 2011, 02:34:19 PM »The game would be way, way too easy if all the clues were filled in.
That's the game designers' problem, not mine.
Like I said, I know why they did it, but it just seems like an artificial limitation.

But since I can't ever seem to do the cross-eyed 3D thing, I can't be sure is it's set up correctly or not.
It was a joke.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Picross 3D
« on: January 25, 2011, 02:14:43 PM »
I recently picked this game up for $10 from Best Buy. I really like it, but not nearly as much as the 2D Picross game that came out a few years ago. My biggest--only?--gripe is that I don't like how not all the cubes have numbers on all six sides. Sure, the clues that are given are selected so the puzzle can always be solved, but it seems a bit artificial. In 2D Picross every single row and column shows exactly how many blocks should be marked. It's not that big of a complaint and I can live with it, but it's slightly annoying.
Also, I can't tell--is the yellow thing that dances on the top screen happy or mad when I solve the puzzle? I honestly can't tell.
