1 in 6 chance now. 

Assign a word to a die and roll it.  It's time to go random...because trying to go meta is just too hard.

I am sad Nintendo didn't have the foresight to try to buy IPs from failing companies.  Nintendo should have truly been seeking to be the nostalgia gaming company.  Imagine if Nintendo had bought outright the IPs for Bomberman, Mega Man, heck, they could have tried to get Sonic.  If Nintendo did that when the Gamecube launched and then released good games in the franchises for the last 2-3 generations (into the Wii U) they could be in a different situation.

This is an interesting situation, because it seems very unlikely that Phil would have such a great win streak...but with each additional kill the number of words shrinks, so the odds of picking the actual bomb word increases.  It is now a 1 in 7 chance, last time was 1 in 8, and the time before that 1 in 9. 

So if it happens again, even though the winning streak is unlikely the actual event of picking the bomb word will even be greater.

I like simplistic.  And the new Macbook works, except that only having a single port makes no sense.  It requires additional purchases immediately.

I know that it requires a computer to be bigger, but I like the idea of a computer that just works where and however I need it.  That means using the most common ports currently available and used in the world today...until that changes keep them.

Right now, I need USB to plug into any computer or use any mouse that might be available where I am.

I think they are going to phase out the Air Brand, and just have Macbook and Pro again. 

I really hate the design, because I should not have to be required to buy and carry adapters to use a portable computer.  Compromise is part of having a portable computer, but too much compromise is stupid.

I didn't like what they did with Air, and I don't like the direction they are moving with all their lines.  The stupid obsession with being lighter has to stop.

OMG! I'M SO SORRY EVERYONE! 

Don't be sorry.  It is funny.  We keep on dying, and you have to jump on and be burdened with choosing another word.  You just can't stop killing people.

Wow!!!  I am excited I died like that.  I honestly picked the word I thought was the most obtuse and I died.  hehehe...
Anyway, now the game can pick up and get faster hopefully.

Don't ask.  We wanted to know the details of the clone wars and we got the Star Wars Prequels...that ruined everything.

I think Clones might be the common denominator.

I figure so long as I don't go messing around with things like polls and claiming to be a different person, my old account won't get banned.

I was saving it for a good joke, but have yet to see a good opportunity for it. Oh well.

If only you could play a mafia game and be the detective with one role and the Godfather with the other.

How about doing chores for her and making her a special dinner.  And just be like whateves  I didn't do it because I love you.

Then finding out what her love language is.  What you can do that makes her feel loved, and expressing your love towards her in that way...even if it is hard.

The game is extremely polished.  It feels like the old NES games we remember from our childhood.  However, it has many modern game mechanics that make it a better game, and it is a keenly crafted and designed games.

The graphics and animation are beautiful and although it 8 bit, the art style doesn't feel 8 bit or ugly.  Instead it is charming and the detail and personality provided in the animation is inspired.

Not having a certain number of lives and having save states make this game much friendlier to players.  Everyone should be able to beat this game. 

Platforming is carefully designed, and although it maintains many elements of old school games, it tweaks the experience to make it more playable and forgiving. 

In the end, this game deserves all the praise it has received and it is not just a Mega Man clone, but a tribute to an entire generation of gaming.

Or do you have the responsibility to edit and filter your mafia plans to create a well balanced and fun game, that doesn't suck or isn't completely biased towards a side...because that has never been a requirement of mafia games if you look at our history.

The above mentioned idea sounds to me like a Suicide Squad like show.  Or perhaps a Secret Six? 

Though I like the idea of this being a Suicide Squad with Ray Palmer being the money and the good guy that keeps everyone in check. 

Another idea is that it could be developed as The Outsiders.  Remember the studio is just bouncing ideas off the table now, and they realize they can't keep all these different characters in the same show and universe and keep a good balance.  Arrow and The Flash already have a problem when they team up.  So what do you do? 

I can see this show taking the place of a Titans show or Young Justice Show...However what would this show replace in the lineup...3 Super hero shows on one channel is too much.

NWR Mafia Games / Re: Mafia 66: Rehash of the Daleks: Sign Ups and Rules Thread!

« on: February 23, 2015, 10:12:37 PM »

Honestly, I feel some people forget what the concept of mafia is.  The game is an experiment of a small select group having information to use against a larger group of people...and seeing if that larger group of people can overcome their dilemma and oust the mafia. 

In all reality the mafia should win most games.  So to be delaying the first hit, delays the information the townies can gain from a first hit.  If there is a detective it also gives the townies a bigger advantage...or potentially having a 3 man team before any hits are made...with most mafias only having 4 members that means that the townie alliance is almost as big as the mafia. 

With that said...the game becomes quite a different game when you have 2 mafias...because now it becomes a game of 2 armies fighting with townies as collateral damage.  With 2 mafias the likelihood of townies win is almost zero...so giving that additional advantage might work.

Though, I like the idea of giving the mafia the ability to recruit townies...and possibly their special roles.  With the risk that if you try to recruit the other mafia you lose a member of your mafia, but you also learn a special identity of another mafia. 

This could actually be a pretty good idea with a Doctor Who inspired game.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: If Nintendo has a "real" Press Conference at E32015...I award you no points!

« on: February 23, 2015, 07:27:55 PM »

Personally, I am not a big fan of the giant press conference announcements.  I really appreciated everything Nintendo did at E3 last year and I loved the Tree House sitting down and showing us the games...that was really impressive.

So, I don't care if Nintendo has a real E3 press conference.  I want Nintendo to get the information out and bring us compelling content...or compelling demos of the games to the public. 

So Nintendo Directs are the way to go.  But I wouldn't mind seeing Nintendo inviting the press to a special "Nintendo Party" that just allowed them to play the games and record demos in the environment possible....good audio and sound. 

As for what I want to see.  Expand that Tree House Coverage...make sure every game releasing on a Nintendo system 3rd party or 1st party are shown.  and go all out on the video coverage.  Spend E3 celebrating video games...not just trying to have a big expensive press conference and floor booth that really equates to nothing.
