Nintendo Gaming / RE: Buying Philosophy?
« on: April 18, 2007, 05:38:01 PM »
I try to only buy online or from Gameware. Occasionally I'll have to stop by some other place to get a game, but not often.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Buying Philosophy?
« on: April 18, 2007, 08:37:42 AM »
I buy nearly every game I play. I never rent games. I've borrowed a few (Super Mario Sunshine, Trace Memory, Mario vs DK). Mostly, though, I buy whatever games I'm interested in. Because I'm very certain whether or not I want to own a game, I have nearly flawless intuition (and I do my fair share of research to verify my intuition). I also want the option of playing that game anytime I want to, or lending it to other people, and I only consider a game worth my time if it's worth buying and playing often.
Otherwise, I just play games that other people own, when we get together.

My roommate is Bruce Campbell's son.
He has one picture of him. It's of Bruce Campbell pointing at him in a disciplinary manner.

I'm ready to attack you anyway. That's Aonuma covering his butt from rabid Zelda fans hungry for some cohesive element in the timeline. There isn't. They're piss-poor and making a timeline, that's all there is to it. As far as I'm concerned the concept of a Zelda timeline shouldn't even exist.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Virgin Channel On Wii
« on: April 11, 2007, 07:36:46 PM »
At first I thought this was going to be a joke about gaming nerds' lack of sexual experience, and came prepared for some lols.
Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed.
(Don't ask me what purpose that channel would serve. I could think of some interesting possibilities though

I like the 2D and 3D Metroids about equally. I don't know if I've ever had a gaming rush like the time I beat Super Metroid, though. Maybe in a few particularly intense battles of Smash Bros.
The scavenger hunts didn't bother me, because I'm a very thorough person when I play a game so I had most of them by the time I had to collect them (in Wind Waker and Metroid). However, I do consider it a design flaw, and wish to this day that they'd delayed Wind Waker to add the extra dungeons and stuff.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Agatha Christie you haters!
« on: March 23, 2007, 05:44:27 AM »
I just realized why Agatha Christie could be considered better than both Poe and Doyle, working in the crime and mystery genre. Certainly comparable, and why she had such a tremendous influence.
I don't have the time to say right now, cuz I have class in a few minutes, but I'll post something later on.

I hate GTA. If ever there was a gimmick game, this was it.
It's still good news, of course. But I always have to throw that out there.

Henry James is fantastic. The Aspern Papers and The Turn of the Screw. Dense, but worth reading.
We should have a literature thread in the general chat for this sort of discussion

It seems like Smash Brother has adopted the Hermit Crabbing habit.

Rock on. I dunno if I'll get this, but the Agatha Christie plays I've seen performed (which includes Ten Little Indians aka And Then There Were None) were fantastic. I'll look into it for sure.

« on: March 18, 2007, 08:25:24 PM »
Facebook is awesome. I simply do not have the energy to keep up on the "who's with who" deal, so it's a godsend in that respect.
Honestly, I'd just be real blunt about it. Ask her out. "Do you want to go out sometime?" Maybe prelude that with "Are you and Wesker still together?", but I don't think that's necessary, and it could make things awkward.
However, you do want to establish that things are definitely over between them. So I agree with what 18 Days said.

My homosexual friend once sent me a porn video (also homosexual) called buttmachineboys that used the realplayer format.
I didn't think realplayer could have gotten any worse in my eyes. How truly wrong I was.

Yeah, now that you mention it Smash Brother, way too many people on here seem to like Killer 7.
Looks like I'll have to find something even more obscure to favor

Nintendo Gaming / RE: No More Heroes for Wii!!!! ANOTHER UPDATED 12/3/06
« on: March 12, 2007, 10:02:25 PM »
It's weird that I like Killer 7 so much, because my philosophy on games does dictate that a game, as art, must succeed not on a visual level (which is important, but not the central role of art in games) but in terms of game design and the way it affects the gamer as an interactive medium. This is why I'm such a huge fan of Nintendo, they easily surpass every other company in this respect.
However, I'm also open to many different styles and approaches, and I think Killer 7 succeeds on a different level than Nintendo games. This could be turned into a movie, sure, but it wouldn't be the same at all. There's something about listening for that laughter and trying to find an invisible enemy, about being caught up in this bizarre, postmodern atmosphere and this twisted story, that just works for me. I think the game is flawed, sure, but I feel it has a proper claim to being an "artistic game", in the true sense of the phrase.

I think Ganondorf is a great villain, and they can use him if they want. But I don't think they need to trick us, especially when we know that if there's a trick, that's what it'll be.
Zant was a great villain, although I did ultimately like the role he played as a nutcase. But I think a diversity of villains would be nice, in many of Nintendo's franchises, not just Zelda.

Killer 7 is literature, and it's probably the best on-rails shooter I've ever played.
It'd be better on Wii, though.

This game is so awesome that even the cesspool that is NeoGAF has to recognize how awesome it is. I've unlocked mirror mode now, and I've started in on that. My favorite racer is the Alpine (Sunset Orange).
This game is ridiculous, I love it. Everyone I've showed it to loves it as well.

« on: March 11, 2007, 10:12:03 AM »
Very cool. Both his and Miyamoto's were good.
I especially liked the story at the end, and how the kid didn't want to leave the village in the beginning of the game. I was a lot like that when I was a kid, too. I still am, in a way. Obviously I'm not afraid of monsters, and I'm plenty good at even the hardest parts of games, but I still love running around the town centers and peaceful areas of games (towns in Zelda, the square in Mario Sunshine, etc).
Thanks for this, I enjoyed it.
