How are the controls?  Does it use the touch screen or D-pad?

I watched the trailer and it was so schizophrenic my head hurt afterward.

The characters alone make me want to punch a squirrel. According to the always-reliable Wikipedia, the “Homies” brand consists of a bunch of vending machine figurines which portray campy stereotypes of Mexican and Latino people. Basically, they’re all wearing bling and have sagging jeans. And the women are whores.   

I have no less than 30 of these vending machine figurines on my desk right now.  I'm not even joking.

In.  And I nominate either thatguy or Pale for the role of Zordon.

thatguy: because if anyone can figure out how to break the game it's thatguy.
Pale:  because maybe he'll play with us if we can't kill him for a bullshit reason.

lol i found a 4th unexpected level

"Tokin" is also the name of a "promoted pawn" in Shogi (Japanese chess).

And what, pray tell, does that have to do with anything?

AAC.  I prefer it to MP3 because when I charge my iPod halfway through a podcast it restarts from the beginning on MP3 files but not on AAC files.  Very annoying on a 2-hour podcast.

I just don't understand how there isn't some huge lawsuit over this game...

Same reason there isn't a huge lawsuit over the create-a-fighter mode in SoulCaliber IV--it's all user generated content.

Link isn't in the game; you have to create him yourself.  In fact, the article you linked to even says so.

Disclaimer: This is NOT an official 3D Dot game Heroes video. Let it be known that this version of Link custom was created by me, and cannot be found in the game in any way, shape, or form. Atlus is smarter than that. Additionally, the beautiful music isn’t from the game either. At all. It’s “Title (The Legend of Zelda)” by Shogo Sakai from the Super Smash Bros. Brawl Soundtrack.

vudu, so the podcast in question is showing up in the "Music" section of your library instead of the "Podcast" section?

It's not a problem with my library--it's a problem with my iPod.  I don't have a podcast section under my iPod (in iTunes) and it's not showing up in the music section.  As far as iTunes knows the podcast isn't on my iPod at all!

I've determined that the problem is caused by podcasts edited with Audacity.  RFN usually doesn't show show up because that's what Greg uses to edit the podcast.  But when Karl edits them using Garageband it shows up just fine in iTunes.  It's the same way with Newscast--all episodes before #12 won't show up in iTunes but when Andy switched to Garageband for episode 12 and beyond they appear just fine.

It's really weird.

Do you ever have anything nice to say about a non-Nintendo product?  Your incessant trolling it starting to wear thin.

vudu, did you try unchecking "Manually manage music", and then going to the Podcast tab and making sure no podcasts are checked?

I don't subscribe to any podcasts through iTunes--I download them manually and then add them manually.

I'm tempted to order the disc just so I can get the coins.

Might as well--the disc is free, and 20 coins is the equivelant of two VC games.

George Lopez called Conan and asked him to do the show. George said he couldn't be happier than to hopefully receive the ratings bump from following Conan. I'm pretty sure that was mentioned in the 1st link I provided.

Just because someone says they're happy publicly doesn't mean they are.

I guessed two and a half. I originally thought the first game was Rondo of Blood. I successfully guessed the next two, though.

Same with me. 

2.5 out of 5 makes this my personal best!  Then again, since I requested the third song I'm not sure that it really counts.  But since you didn't use any of my song suggestions or trivia question I'm saying it does!

Change his name and his title then pile on the warnings as he starts complaining to the admins?

I tried that already.  Hilarity ensued, but no one got banned.
