NWR Forums Discord / Why didn't anyone tell me Beyond Good and Evil was so good?
« on: April 03, 2007, 07:29:46 PM »
...Well, I guess people did tell me. Why didn't I listen?

I blame everyone who is about to post in this thread to say they didn't see what was so special about the game.

NWR Forums Discord / I have a confession to make
« on: April 01, 2007, 01:28:47 AM »
Some of you may have noticed that I tend to talk a lot about Ubisoft products, specifically about their positive aspects. I'd like to say I've been doing this just because I think they make good games. But, in reality, I'm what you might call a plant. I was hired by Ubisoft to promote their games to the Nintendo community. Posting on these forums (and others) has been my full-time job for the past several years.

The community I've become a part of, here at NWR, in the process of doing my job, has really affected me. Without ever intending to, I think I've made real connections, real friendships here. Because of that, the deception's just become too painful. That's why I'm going to quit my job at Ubisoft, and leave these forums. I was going to do this when I hit 5000 posts, but, I realized I've been delaying this long enough. So, I'm leaving today. Right now. You probably won't hear from me ever again.

Goodbye.

NWR Forums Discord / Master Chief's hat really is worth 80 bucks
« on: March 26, 2007, 08:27:08 PM »
See? See? Look at how hard those sweat shop laborers are laboring. Look at how much blood, sweat, and advanced Vacuum Metalization goes into each helmet. Everyone who's said the Legendary Edition of Halo 3 is a rip-off should be ashamed of themselves.

...I'm pretty sure this is what Bill is saying every time he posts "". I have come to this conclusion after spending countless hours studying certain Japanese publications (to better understand the people who enjoy them.) What kind of Japanese publications? Well, let's just say they were more hardcore than Ikaruga.

Nintendo should have made a sequel to Kid Icarus in 1989, it would have been the perfect time for it. Also, Luigi should have been in Mario 64.

General Chat / Your misguided sense of loyalty is hurting the games industry
« on: March 07, 2007, 01:43:10 PM »
An open letter to Kairon (and people like him):

To whom it may concern,

Your loyalty isn't helping the games industry.

There are many legitimate reasons for not owning multiple consoles - not having enough money, for one. But if you refuse to buy any games or consoles that don't bear the Official Nintendo Seal of Sealiness on principle, to help your "team", you are not doing good.

Wanting to help Nintendo is understandable - you love their products, and have had to suffer through two generations of them struggling in last place. But Nintendo has proven, with the Wii and the DS, that they don't need your charity. So don't give it to them. Instead, do the best thing you can for both the games industry, and your fellow gamers: buy good games, no matter what system they appear on.

Get it out of your head that you need to help Nintendo by buying dreck like Call of Duty 3 for the Wii. Instead, you should be supporting the artists behind Ico, Silent Hill, Shadow of the Colossus and Okami....well, not Okami. Too late for that.

Help make sure more talented development teams aren't disbanded. Help make sure more great games are made. Help yourself learn more about video games and game design. And help Nintendo, by making them work for your dollar. Do all this, just by buying good games.

Sincerely,

Walter "Wa" N. During

NWR Forums Discord / Not a pudding discussion....
« on: March 07, 2007, 12:51:44 PM »
This isn't a pudding discussion, but a simple statement of fact.

I just ate some tapioca pudding, and man, it was way too delicious.

No other pudding is more delicious than tapioca.

NWR Forums Discord / Real Time Mafia
« on: February 28, 2007, 02:06:31 AM »


Would anyone be interested in playing a game of mafia....in real time? I've found some neat software that we can use for this purpose. I was thinking we might play Monday, March 5th at 10:00pm EST (the day shift-key's game was going to start.) But if you'd prefer a different date/time, please, speak.

If you're interested, here's what you need to do:

- Go to volity.net
- Download and install Gamut.
- Register a volity account.
- Go to volity's werewolf page (werewolf = mafia.) Log in. Find where the game I've scheduled is listed, under "Upcoming games". Click the button, beside the listing, that says "Add yourself".
- When it comes time for the game, open Gamut. A message should pop up inviting you to the game.

(If you don't want to sign-up in advance, you can skip the last two steps, and just join the game when the time comes. Go to the werewolf page and look for "Join an existing game".)

And that's it. I've never done this before, so I don't know how long the game will take...but I'd plan on it being an hour or so.

Oh, here are the rules. They're pretty standard.

Do I kill an abnormally large amount of threads?

Is it because I'm a racist? Because I talk too much?

NWR Forums Discord / I am not a slave to the corporate machine
« on: February 21, 2007, 06:53:39 PM »
I may not be able to control the fact that branding permeates every aspect of my daily life. Corporate logos and trademarks surround me, demanding my unswerving allegiance. Every time I boot up my Gameboy, I am marketed to - I am told by a carefully focus-tested logo that Gameplay belongs to me, and I to it. But there is one thing I can control: how I spell "Gameboy" on internet forums.

And I spell it Gameboy.

Gameboy. Gameboy. Gameboy. GAMEBOY.

And I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone tell me I must spell it otherwise.

The sun reigns, and the cat with the fiddle sings:

I thought I saw a puddy cat.
I thought I saw him die.
I thought it was tit for tat,
An eye for an eye.
I thought 18 days was bad,
The worst kind of guy.
I thought we should now be glad.
I thought we were free.
I thought we were free at last,
Free from tyranny,
Free as we could ever be.
I thought correctly.



After dispatching 18 days (the final Louie Loyalist), the sole surviving citizens of Louieville were solemn. The victory felt hollow to TVMan and Blackfootsteps - how could anyone celebrate after so many had died?  But life goes on. The two of them tore down the statue of Louie, and rechristened the town "Funhouseville". And soon enough, they found weren't the only ones living there. Stray cats from all over came to Funhouseville and called it home. The town thrived once again. Once more it was home to good times, laughter, and fun.

NWR Forums Discord / Meowfia Day Thirteen: The unluckiest of meowfia days
« on: February 12, 2007, 04:13:36 PM »
The sun reigns, and the cat with the fiddle sings:

Kairon died, that's what I heard.
He was killed in bed.
"Dasmos" is a german word.
The word means "the dead."
Dasmos and kairon are both,
They're both "dasmos" now.

You learn ceric and dasmos were both townies.

NWR Forums Discord / Meowfia Day Twelve: Cats hate mondays
« on: February 11, 2007, 04:06:30 PM »
The sun reigns, and the cat with the fiddle sings:

The fork ran away with the spoon.
They made sweet, sweet love.
Us cats have to kill one more loon
Before we can know love,
Love like that anytime soon.
Til then there is but death.
Last night, by the light of moon
We cats brought death,
Death onto ceric. And soon,
We'll die too, oh yes.
And all I can do is croon.

edit: You may think you saw some information here about someone's identity, but you didn't. You just imagined it.

The sun reigns, and the cat with the fiddle sings:

Sleepy time, sleep, sleep, sleep.
Some old cartoon guy
He died, yeah. He died. We sleep.
We wake up, say bye.
Bye to pale. Went bye last night.
Yeah, pale was killed, oh.
Pale you're dead, that's just not right.

You learn icecold was a townie.

« on: February 09, 2007, 05:31:47 PM »
The sun reigns, and the cat with the fiddle sings:

Lammar was deemed a felon,
He's eaten his last,
Very last watermelon.
Yes, we kicked his ass,
Or the closet equivalent.
We killed him. Then we
Slept, with some ambivalence.
When we woke up we
Expected to find
A townie killed in the night.
This we did not find.
Had those on the side of right,
Had they won? Let's see....

You discover spak-spang was a townie; stabby was a Louie Loyalist. One Louie Loyalist still remains! He just declined to make a kill last night.

So, I'm doing a search, right? I type in what I'm looking for, press submit and....I get a message saying I don't have permission to access that object. I'm not allowed to search? No, that can't be it. I hit back, and look at the forums that were set to be searched. There were two there that weren't familiar:

Trade Show Discussion - E3 2004
trash bin

I search just Trade Show Discussion. I don't have access. Then, I search just trash bin. I get results. They aren't pretty:



I click on one of the threads. I don't have access. I go back to the search page. The top secret forums have disappeared.

Strange.

The sun reigns, and the cat with the fiddle sings:

The angry mob was coming,
Coming for spak-spang.
Spak-spang was home, thumbing
Her sword. She felt a pang.
Then she chopped off her own head.
When the mob arrived,
The samurai was quite dead.

NWR Forums Discord / Meowfia Day Eight: Curiosty killed the rat
« on: February 07, 2007, 04:22:52 PM »
The sun reigns, and the cat with the fiddle sings:

A town filled with cats is not
The best place for rats.
Yes, Segagamer was caught,
And cooked, and eaten.

ShyGuy licked his lips and said:
"LOL eatin' ur rats."
And then he went home to bed.
And then, they beat 'em.

The loyalists. They killed him.

You learn oohhboy and segagamer were both Louie Loyalists.
