Well he did buy it at or close to launch, so maybe his was just as faulty as those publicized but never noticed until that unfortunate day came.

If you can prove when you bought the system and act all sympathetic, I bet they'll give you a new one free of charge. Either way, it's worth a try don't you think?

Nintendo Gaming / Get HOOKED!

« on: June 21, 2007, 05:31:53 PM »

New fishing game from Askys, a company who has only made three games (DS, PS2, PSP).

Clickly


Don't really know much about the game, but I can tell you this: it comes with a fishing pole shell! It actually looks well done. My only concern is if you can actually reel the nunchuck and that it's not actually free since the game cost 60 bucks. Oh well, what are you going to do?

I don't know, I thought some of you guys might be interested (Kiaron, was it you that said you were looking for a fishing game?).


EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION IT HAS WI-FI

It's not in public, it's a museum. You pay to get in, which is one of the best ways to give your consent that you want to see such things. People at rallies showing fetuses is completely different. People who walk by don't want to see that shite, so they end up b@tching which in turn gives warrant to the fine.

Plus, it is for science and the greater good of knowledge (don't reply to this statement as I know what you are going to say; I just wanted to write it anyways) and not just art. My father, a DVM professor is completely facinated by it. He said he was also facinated by the animal version.

Which brings about my next question: If we are animals apart of the same animal kingdom that rules this earth, then why are we not able to study ourselves to every degree we study other animals? Sure, if someone did not give consent over their body then I can see the moral delima, but what about those that did (even if in the form of organ donating)?

The AO hammer has to come down sometime, simply because the industry and its retailers have since been ineffective at keeping the sale of M rated games to adults. For example, just today I purchased the Wii edition of RE4 at Gamestop. Guy did not card me, and received no prompt to do so, despite his repeated attempts to get me a subscription to a magazine. Walmart gets the prompt. "Is the customer 17?" That's effective, but all the kid has to do is drag the parent who obviously brought him there to OK it. I think it's time for there to be a fine for selling M-rated games to minors, just like there is a fine for allowing minors into R-rated movies.

This whole paragraph doesn't make any sense. So your saying just because RETAILERS are ineffective at abiding by the ESRB guidelines that it is the fault of the developer? So your saying DEVELOPERS should make less violent/sexual games just because it'll get to the kid anyways? Your saying that PARENTS have no authority over what their children read, watch, or play and that the children FORCE parents to give the purchase an ok? And because of all of this the "AO hammer has to come down sometime" simply to revoke it's right to be sold?

What the hell are you talking about?!

I know this isn't really anime but a parody of one, still this SOUTHPARK episode is probably one of the funniest ones ever made. I urge you, even if you don't like southpark, to give this episode a chance!

The music is the best part!

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Dragon Blade - Wii Exclusive from D3 Publisher - This Fall

« on: June 21, 2007, 09:30:32 AM »

One of the main reasons I liked GOW so much is because of the setting. There's really nothing more epic than fighting a god! Seriously, whats a more powerful enemy than a god?

Looks pretty good....needs alot more polish. I do like how a dragon came out of the blade though. That was a nice touch.

I don't think it matters.

Any online store (except maybe wal-mart) will sell the game since it'll require a credit card to do so (proof of age).

I don't know about y'all but all this controversy is making me want to play the unrated version. If anything, just to see what all the fuss is about!  

Seriously though, I went from "Meh, I may give it a rent" to "I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME!"




Oh the irony!

Cheers!

Of course we want an original game, it's just that Rockstar has never supported a Nintendo console and so their games have been missed by many. Not to mention the fact that they could pull more PS2/Xbox fans over to the Wii side with new-last generation favorites. And also to allow people who have never owned a console before the Wii to play some of their top franchises.

But your right......A new game would be wonderful.

Who says your practicing it? It's waggle technology! Your overreacting

The point is, if you start banning things, it's a slippery slope. Soon you'll start banning more things because people will have more courage to bitch seeing as how it worked before and that in itself, is BULLSH#T.

And when it comes to something I have to buy, I don't want to be told what I can buy and what I can't, even if I don't want to buy it in the first place.


P.S. I'm not American and I haven't read the bible.

That's a very closed minded thing to say Mario.

Art is art, no matter what the form. It is only because it's a game that you have a problem with it. Hostel and other such gory films are left on questioned, but a gory game is perceived as something bannable?

In the bible, Jesus Christ is brutally murdered, but I don't hear you complaining about people reading it.

Art is just art people. If you don't like it, don't pay attention to it. And thank God the first amendment exists. There is no constitutional way to ban such a game in the States.

Would anyone else love to see Max Payne made for the Wii?

I think a third person shooter would work better than a first person shooter, and I base that on nothing. Still, a slow-mo mechanic has been done alot, but it's still badass!

I've seen both Mononoke and Spirited Away. I liked them both.

P.S. I tried watching Naruto. Unfortunately, I never could get into it. Perhaps I'lll try Shippuuden.

Thanks for your help so far guys. I'll check out all your suggestions!
