Cool. I'll be playing tomorrow around early evening EST, so I'll let the people know when my gate's open specifically. Bring your flowers 
I'm going to start a female character soon so that I can put more furniture, as well as see any dialogue changes. I don't want to let go of the Gracie furniture I have now. That's why I've kept my Nook n Go, so I can sell and get out of debt faster.

*cues "November Rain"*
Coming close to a year since I've played; what a ride. Out of the 10 starting villagers, I have 4 left. Angus just moved out without giving me a chance to talk him out of it...
I finally had the UFO drop in my town, but I didn't know what to do. Shoot it down?
I'd like to take the time to announce my "Cash for Flowers" program. Its simple really. All you have to do is A)Mail me flower packets B) Drop off flowers if you see my gate's open or vice versa.
You'll be well compensated. If you give hybrids or carnations, you'll be extra-compensated

Para bailar la bumpa...
After this horrible travesty, the lack of DS-ness was unbearable. I went to Craig's list, ebay, hit up my friends for a reasonably priced used DS-lite, but was able to pick up one up at a hobby shop of all places, for $80 bucks just recently.
Sadly, I'll still have to re-buy NSMB and Ninja Town
Getting this thread back on track, I want to get the people's input on two matters:
A) Top five DS accessories, (best screen protectors, best carrying case, earbuds, etc)
B) Top five DS games of 2009 so far. Yes, Zelda isn't that far off, but I've been missing out for the last few months...
Oh yeah, thanks for the tip DrewMG

The author defends writing the review when he did during his playthrough, stating quite matter-of-factly that if the game can't draw your attention within 4 hours of play, it doesn't deserve to get reviewed.
Fixed. Call it something else. Make it a blog entry, a rant. But don't call it a review.
One of the underlying assumptions I have about game reviews, is that the reviewer finished the game to completion(With the case of online multiplayer, MMO's, play through the game modes as much as possible). Is that too much to ask? Should all game reviewers just stop playing the moment they feel bored, write what they have, and call it a review?
I like this comment.
Quote
"Review" is commonly reserved for completed games, while "Impressions" applies to incomplete play-throughs. While the disclosure at the end is nice, titling this post as a "review" is a bit misleading.
And this is from a poster who liked it this...string of words and phrases...
P.S I did see the score upon further inspection, so I take that back at least.

Djunknown, you're missing a couple of fish which are no longer available, is that correct? Do you want the golden rod?
I'm missing one river fish I haven't looked up yet, and the Napoleon fish. As tempting as it is for me take one, it would feel hollow taking something I haven't earned...

An incomplete review about Muramasa.
Straight to the point:
The bolding is the author's emphasis.
Now I don't know a lot about the game in question (yeah, I know, bad Djunknown!), but what I do know is that not playing a game to completion is not a review. It can be impressions, previews, hands-on, whatever. But not a full review.
To top it off, it shows up on Metacritic. I double checked the original review to look for a number or letter score, but found none. But on reading Metacritics small italics:
So....uhhhh...double fail?

Disclosures: This game was obtained via publisher and reviewed on the Wii. Approximately 3.5 hours of play were devoted to the single-player mode, and the game was not completed. There are no multiplayer modes.

ON that note, I could use a Napoleon Fish.
I think that by now, the most dilligent of AC players should be done with all that needs to be donated, save for the art museum. I expect to see gold nets and gold fishing rods soon.

It'll definitely have a different feel than the its predecessor, so I'm cautiously optimistic. After-all, Capcom proper does have some experience with the genre.

An addendum to the editorial I put up a little while ago. Basically, its not a attack at Nintendo directly, but on NoA. As the author notes in the beginning:
Then we get to the nitty gritty:
A few more choice quotes:
So what do you think? Is NoA part of the problem? Did NoA make the right call by not releasing Captain Rainbow, Disaster: Day of Crisis and so on?
Quote
Although I wasn't totally sold on the Wii at first, at this point in its life cycle, all of my initial gripes with the system (weak online, storage space issues, limited 3rd-party line up) have more or less been fixed. Even if they weren't, the console's library would still be a better fit for me than what the other home consoles have going on right now. The PS3/360's focus on 3D "realistic" graphics, Hollywood action movie-style scenarios, and online competition just isn't for me. Sure, the 360 and the PS3 each have seven or eight exclusives that I truly love, but that's nothing compared to the over thirty Wii games that I consider "must-own" titles.
Then we get to the nitty gritty:
Quote
Now, I don't want to duplicate too much of what Jim said in his article, but I do need to start off by restating the most obvious problem with NoA: they lie, and badly. Of all the "in defense of Nintendo" blogs and comments I've read over the years, I've never heard this point disputed. NoA figureheads like Reggie, Cammie, and Denise come off as untrustworthy car salespeople at best, and underhanded politicians at worst. They are liars, and we know it.
A few more choice quotes:
Quote
NoA won't publish risky, potentially unprofitable games like Fatal Frame IV, Captain Rainbow, Trace Memory 2, Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, Mother 3, Disaster: Day of Crisis, and many others, because they care more about the bottom line than they care about distributing art. Where NoJ tries to make enough money so they can make more games, NoA only publishes games so they can make more money. That's the fundamental difference between an artist and businessman, or in this case, an art dealer.
Quote
What do you think Nintendo of Europe thought when Reggie publicly dissed Disaster: Day of Crisis just after it launched in the UK? If someone who worked for NoE had said that, you can bet your ass they would have been fired that day. Not so with Reggie and the gang. The phenomenon smacks of something I call "the Michael Jackson effect." Really, who's going to tell Reggie that he comes off like a phony who could give a rat's ass about what Nintendo really stands for? Not someone who wants to keep their job, that's who.
Quote
I write this article not out of malice, but out of genuine nerd-concern. As you've probably figured out, I love Nintendo of Japan. Although a lot of people in America seem worried about the direction they're headed in, I'm not concerned at all, because they are still focused on putting games and gamers first. The problem with Nintendo and their public face all falls on Nintendo of America, who seem determined to put up barriers between Americans and the products of Nintendo of Japan.
So what do you think? Is NoA part of the problem? Did NoA make the right call by not releasing Captain Rainbow, Disaster: Day of Crisis and so on?
