Interesting you say that, I'd heard other people say it's gone way downhill. I still haven't seen it at all, but I want to.

Or, borrow a friend's Wii. I'm sure plenty of people you know have Wiis gathering dust in their entertainment centers.

128
That sucks! If you plan on getting the WiiU, you could just wait till then to finish Xenoblade. I don't know if I would be that patient though.

I wish Jason Alexander would do more :( I guess he's doing some voice work in the new Kingdom Hearts for 3DS, reprising his Hunchback character.

Yeah, great opening. Have you gotten to Bionis' Leg yet? That's where I got really hooked.

The poster for this movie is great: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2429137920/tt1772341

I'm excited.

I've seen a lot of people point to the "seeing the future" bit as being innovative. Anyway, I think trying to point to individual details as being revolutionary is usually a mistake. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

I am holding out hope that I may be using the wrong controller. Part of my confusin factor may have to do with the camera which is difficult to control at the best of times with the wii remote and nunchuk, and extra difficult during battles. I am going to try out the classic controller one of these days, but I don't relish re-learning the controls. I am hopeful the camera is easier to contol during battles with two sticks. Then maybe I can manouver around monsters better and set up attacks more strategically. Right now, i just seem to plow at them as best I can. If I stop to fart around with the camera, I can easily die in the time it takes.

Oh Christ, you GOTTA use the classic controller. The camera controls with the Wiimote+nunchuk are a goddamn tragedy. Switch to the CC, you'll be so glad you did.

Yeah, the graphics and art style are beautiful, outside of some of the character models in the cutscenes.


For some reason, I really fucking love gem crafting - at some point last night, I decided to go through the 6 pages of crystals and cylinders I had acquired and craft all of them I could, which took a silly amount of time. Loved it. It's like weapon fusion in Kid Icarus, which I also love.

135
I'm around 10 hours in I think, and loving it. Recently found a secret area called Believer's Paradise which I think offers the most impressive view I've ever seen in a game world, at least outside of a cutscene. (To be fair, I don't have an HD console or Skyrim :P)

I'm maybe 10 hours into this game and loving it, and I'm not a big RPG player at all. I think the environments look GREAT, and the design of the environments are very beautiful in an architectural sense as well. But the character models do look pretty damn poor. That's probably my only complaint about the game - everything else is awesome so far.

re: Peter Jackson, a lot of people seem to hate that King Kong remake but I actually quite liked it. The bug scene was amazing.

I'd put Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Metroid Fusion above the NES games.

I wear glasses, so movie 3D is flat out for me.

Uh, okay... I wear glasses too and have seen 3D movies.

JP, if you dislike The Big Bang Theory I have a very difficult time believing you'll like How I Met Your Mother.

Except neither of you explain why you think that.

I do believe JP did explain it.

I liked the second episode a lot ("The End of the World"), very Doug Adams-y.

Just started Doctor Who, series 1 from 2005. 3 episodes in, it's fun. I'm hoping it lives up to the hype as I keep going.

I wish Adam Scott was in this, that'd be hella poetic.

Yeah, end of season 4 could have worked as the end of the series.

I am sick of studios trying to get minority viewers by making white characters black (i.e. Kingpin and Nick Fury).

I think this is the assumption that is putting people off. It's cynical and perhaps a bit offensive to assume that these black actors got their parts because of "studios trying to get minority viewers" rather than the merits of those actors.


And maybe the fact that the vast majority of comic book characters were originally white says more about the creators of those comics (or the era they lived in) than using some minority actors to portray them says about modern filmmakers.

I really like the way she delivered her lines in the trailer, creeped me out.
