Heck yeah!  I've got a signed copy on its way, and I'm going to the album release party tonight.  Don't know who I'm talking about?  Better click the link above - my favorite band for ten years now and counting.

Wha?  Seriously dude that stuff was a cult hit when I was in high school.  I haven't kept up with it much lately, but man we loved us some silly songs.  I kind of cringe to see it turned into a licensed GBA game, but we'll see how it goes.

My new avatar continues the "what the crap?" line of thought started with King Platypus.

I now bring you SpiderHead - straight from the Odama Box Art.

It does. Nearly everyone I show it to thinks the screens are bigger.

Yeah, well, Namco did a fantastic job on the air missions in Assault...

Not really.  It wasn't until the end that they actually had a level that felt right.

The sales were actually slightly lower this week.  Will be interesting to see where things level off now that supply is steady.

We already have a fail-proof system for finding PGC readers.  We identify them by the frequency of their voice when they ask if they can have their picture taken with us.

And I don't like hats...

I actually liked it the first year.  It was the mic addition that I wasn't too hip about.

TalkBack / RE: REVIEWS: Metroid Prime: Hunters

« on: April 10, 2006, 05:46:45 PM »

I think that it's a matter of the single-player game simply being shallower.  The bounty hunters are the only real addition and they are just briefly a threat.  Aside from that, the game can be summed up more in what's been taken out of it.  Now instead of new items that allow you to do new things - like jump higher, climb walls, run faster, etc - you use the same set of moves throughout the game and a bunch of items that don't do anything more than open doors.  The very flaws that hindered Prime and Echoes were actually amplified in Hunters due to the lack of variety in the gameplay, levels, and bosses.

If you skim down to the bottom of the main page, you'll see that one person used coins instead.  Since they're flat, I think that would probably go over  better than a box that could have anything inside.

Well, I'm not going to have a problem walking in with my DS Lite for a while.  I showed it to the guys at GameStop, and they're all like "what's that?"

Yes, random matching has its downfalls.  The friends matches in Hunters are a huge step up.

And I have only rarely had these issues with trying to get four.  I've played plenty of times with full groups.

There's practically zero chance of that happening with the new systems on the way.  I'll lock this now before you get ridiculed any more.

hudsonhawk have you played with friends or rivals at all? It sounds like you're just doing random matching, which only allows battle.  Of course there's two-on-two CTF, and several other cool modes.

General Gaming / RE: Spong (And Others) Says PS3 $499

« on: April 05, 2006, 05:31:20 PM »

Lik Sang posted a quote from Kutaragi declaring that PS3 would not be priced below 50,000 Yen, and although that's about $430 in currency conversions, it tends to translate to $500 in the US.  I am not surprised, but I think Skyfire is right about the possibility of them pricing it lower than that with all of this as a diversion.

Nintendo Gaming / DS Lite Owners Don't Need to Lose Friends

« on: April 05, 2006, 05:19:48 PM »

Well, after the fact, TYP pointed out that the WiFi firmware has an option to transfer ALL of your settings to another DS system.  Anyone upgrading to a DS Lite can use this method for an easier transition than Smash_Bro and I went through, forcing all our friends to add us again.  If only I'd known yesterday.
