I love VVVVVV. If the price is right, I might just buy it again to be able to take it everywhere with me.

Maybe I can catch somebody's parachute account in the act by watching the Who's Online page. There are one or two posters who I'm reasonably certain boost their ratings.
I wanna be refreshed as to what "the greatest scene in cinematic history" was.
if it has anything to do with that last pic (and commentary), then that would be a dream come true.
Yes but you see in Grand Turismo games you usually can't turn enough to make a turn so I think that they made the wheel so that you could turn a lot better. Otherwise there would be no point in making a wheel that turns 900 degrees because it would just spread out the controller's turning which would be a waste of time. In other words I need a wheel that will give me more turning.
Schafer gave an explanation on how he feels you are supposed to beat it? I would love to hear his thoughts.
What’s up with Meat Circus?
What’s up with Meat Circus is that you’re a sissy. Sure, sure, invisibility is very important when Raz’s dad is trying to knock you off those tight ropes. And your shield will bounce the knife thrower’s blades right into those spinning target wheels. And also you can throw a confusion grenade at that bunny and then just go pick it up, instead of trying to grab it with Telekinesis. Those things are also true. But the main point I’m trying to make here is that first one, about you being a sissy.

I've never really gotten into competitive online multiplayer with random people. I love playing against people I know, but I almost never feel like jumping in against strangers.
Co-op would be nice, but something I'd actually like to see was something that was hinted at in Star Fox Assault of all games. There was one level in Assault's Single-player campaign I remember thinking was a brilliant idea, where you had to infiltrate a space station while a space battle was going on outside. You would fly in on your Arwing, do some on-foot fighting, and every once in a while you'd be called to jump back in your Arwing and dogfight with some enemy Fighters before rejoining the mission inside. It was just a really cool idea, and it would have made a pretty cool multiplayer mode. Imagine playing a version of Capture the Flag or whatnot where each team is trying to assault the other team's space station, with players constantly jumping in and out of various vehicles to either defend or take the fight to the other team.

Not that far off-topic. Star Trek may be set in the future, but it's still produced by old fuddy-duddies who, precisely because of the topic at hand, will never depict video games in a positive light.
Beerman and Braga no longer have control over the franchise ever since Enterprise was cancelled. The 2009 film reboot was the first thing made which was outside of their control, and it shows. From that point onwards Star Trek is now cool and no longer for nerds only. Maybe in a future movie or series we will see some video games being played in it.
That counterpoint for film is unnecessary.
For some reason, after seeing this topic, I was reminded of the series Star Trek: Enterprise. This series was set before the invention of the holodeck. On the ship, crew members would have a movie night. But the wierd thing is, they never showed anyone playing video games. It's kind of odd that a show about the future would make no mention of it. Surely, games must have been on some kind of path towards the holodeck experience. If so, it's not mentioned. I just find that kind of funny. Regardless, this is just an off-topic point.
I love passive media. I love music and music is passive. I love art and art is passive. I love books and books are passive.
Does that mean I enjoy listening to music more than making music? Or looking at a painting rather than painting myself? Or reading a book rather than writing?
They go hand in hand, but AS TIME GOES ON (I really can't stress that enough) media will shift from a focus of listening or reading or watching to doing. It will become so hilariously fun to do that no one will prefer passive media. They may like it or even love it, but they won't prefer it.
People will get off work and be like "I really want to fly a jet a right now." Or "I really want to go scuba diving." Or "I really want to shoot a bunch of Zombies in the face." And the experience will be so visceral and so exciting that passive media will pale in comparison.

Metroid is so not an answer to your modern First Person Shooters. It's in an entirely different genre than something like Killzone or Resistance. The only thing it has in common with them is that the Japanese don't like it, and that's not uncommon. I'd give a good example of an IP Nintendo has that does meet that criteria, but Nintendo doesn't have one.
