Based on what the fans did to DQIX prior to release, I'm going to basically take it on faith that the MMO part will get dropped like a bad habit in the next 3 months and the game will be DQ8-2.

The end of the show features the potential for the worst musical performance on a major video game podcast since Justin McElroy's rendition of "Girlfriend".

I'm not linking what's in the spoiler there, it's on Youtube.

I was in my senior year of high school when it happened, didn't hear about it until I went back home for lunch and found out my brother's college was closed because of them taking airport overflow.

Watched nothing but for 2 days straight.

Picks are live now. I guess they were waiting for the interminably long preseason to end.

My picks for week 1:
Green Bay, Atlanta, Cleveland, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, Houston, Arizona, San Diego, Seattle, Jersey/A (Giants), Jersey/B (Jets), New England, Oakland and 48 for the tiebreaker.

Also, I'm sensing a theme on the league homepage. Not that I can complain... I mean, we gave 'em the friggin' game last year.

Wouldn't the media functions *coughnetflixcough* mandate region-locked hardware?

Doesn't mean the game developers have to use it - surely there's a "Region 0" - but Netflix isn't going to do anyone in say, Europe any good.

Downloading the track manually... you-know-what is being a pain again.

Did we ever sort out what the deal with London Life in the EU is?

In Zelda II, the red potions are not filling your life bar as they should, instead they fill the magic bar.

Not a bug.  Red potions fully restore your magic meter, whereas the greenish blueish ones refill about one block's worth.

D'oh! I have no idea why I thought the red jars would fill the life meter... honestly, and I've played this game a lot lol.

It's that damn muscle memory. Remember, red potions = health in every Zelda game after that.

I went .610 last year (163 - 104). I like my chances based on my ever-complicated picking methods of throwing a dart at the wall.

Now that's an awesome Club Nintendo reward!  How hard is it to earn 1000 stars, or what would the North American equivalent be for points?

To put it in NA terms, it's a 1500 point reward (you need 400 pts in Japan's CN to hit Platinum).

I'm pretty sure Wrecking Crew nor Yoshi was re-released on GBA in any form, which is one more game that would fit into that category than I would've predicted.

Yeah, this was definitely in Zach's wheelhouse between 2, 3 and 5.

4: You're not the only one on staff who didn't remember this one, TYP - there's still no NWR review for it yet. It's a turn-based battle system that has a combo element, which starts out annoying but quickly becomes quite easy to abuse with some light grinding.

It's a stock story that borrows EXTREMELY HEAVILY from Chrono Trigger, which makes sense considering they share a scenario writer as well as Mitsuda's music. How you react to the concept of destroying the world to save it depends a lot on your stance on euthanasia, but I liked it because I'm a bit of a misanthrope.

If I had to pick the songs again - I made the submission about a year ago - I'd probably have picked this one.

There should be a powerup in the Mario games that turns Mario into a werewolf who can then savagely tear his enemies apart and devour them with blood and gore splattering all over the screen.

Now let us never speak of this again.

Yes, every rumor is B.S. just like those rumors a few months back about the Wii U..... oh, wait.

At this point, we're approaching the "blind squirrel stumbling on a nut" stage. The only other thing they've apparently got right is an alleged RAM reduction in the Vita... that got reversed after developer pressure.
