TalkBack / Re: Brawl Shipments Already in U.S. Stores

« on: February 27, 2008, 10:39:57 PM »

Lets not forget to mention that for stores with large sales floors like Walmart that are receiving the floor displays need to rearrange their departments. This will give them plenty of time to setup for not only appearance, but security as well.

I'm impressed with the audio as well! Squeels and squishes FTW. Definitely keeping my eye on this one.

Where's the Too Human love, Bill?

Wasn't impressed with Eternal Darkness' gameplay, so I'm not a Silicon Knights fan... =)

Bill hates fun games confirmed.

Argh delay. This foils plans to take it with me to Australia where I will be from March 3rd-17th.  At least we can take solace in that the game is DONE since the delay in JPN is minimal.  Apparently word going around is that they were having problems with the netcode or something for online play with larger numbers of people so they are fixing the JPN version first, then fixing the others.

Ouch, my wallet just jabbed me.  I could almost afford one of those on a year's income if I had no bills or didn't need to eat.

Yeah Cali is ridiculous. I watch alot of those HGTV shows and they show people about to buy houses there for around $750k. A comparable house here is about $200k. Even better, down in the Carolinas a comparable house is around $130-150k. I think you'd have to be insane to buy real estate in Cali at those prices. I'd take my cash and move to the south east and get more bang for my buck. The weather would probably be comparable too which would definitely make adjusting easier. Oh well, to each his own.

Ya, and those $500k homes are single story too. Its weird, because in most places, that will give you a unfurnished house. But if you go into the central Valley area (Frenso, etc.) you can pay the same and get a furnished house. Of course it varies by where you are in the state too.

I'd have to have a pretty compelling reason to leave CA I think.  Its nice being out here and being able to get to either the snow, beach, or desert within a few hours. Plus all the tech companies are right here (San Jose).

Holy crap that a cheap house.... Here in CA (at least in the Bay Area), there is just about nothing below $500k for a house. If I ever leave this state, it would be very hard to move back in.

They looked fine to me.  I didn't get much play time with them, but nothing looked robotic or anything like that. And seeing as it was like 1-1.5 months ago, i don't remember much as far as detail goes unfortunately.

I'm asking for this for Christmas.  After playing the arcade portion of the game at an EA event a few weeks ago I got hooked.  Played a bit of single player mission and it secured itself on my list.  Using the Wii Zapper with it also felt comfortable to me in the arcade mode (one mode with it setup at the event).

Did that video remind anyone else of a track from SSX3?  That segment looked identical to me from one of the courses in SSX3.

Sadly I realized that I won't be able to afford a Wii at launch at all.  I've resorted to having to wait until Christmas.
