"NubyTech coustomer service, how may I help you?"
"Yes. Your advertising indicates that you're out faster than the competition, but my player's list update just arrived several hours after the leading brand."
"Ah. NubyTech's advertising is not meant to be taken literally."
"What? Listen, I need a ref..."
"We hope you continue to enjoy the unique products and services NubyTech provides, thank you have a nice day."

There are currently 4 townies and 2 pirates left.

A maximum of 3 days remains.

It's the end of an era.


Oh, also, huzzah, I guess.

Unofficial players list - Out faster and filled with more potentially deadly errors than the competition. Just like Little Ceasar's pizza.

The score as of now:

5: good. 3: evil.

The townies may actually win this one.

The extended deadline increases my chances of entering somewhat, but my entry was going to feature Louie heavily, so now...I'm not sure.

I'll probably get this, but I was really hoping Rub Rabbits/Where do Babies Come From? would be about married life with the girl from the first game. Oh well.

Good review, BTW.

All the best horror movies don't have much gore. Psycho, Rosemary's baby.....

What happens when some dumb kid bashes his sister over the head with the Rev-mote after spending hours upon hours of building up a psychotic rage killing Moblins?

It probably will be a big deal, especiallty when if the rev becomes the most popular of the 3 next-gen consoles.

But then parents will realize that playing zelda with the revmote is no different then when the kids hit each other with foam swords, that 'Brain Training rev' is making kids smarter, and that Nintendo is extremeley careful about not showing kids innapropriate content.

Or at least we can hope.

An analog stick has more sensitivity than a d-pad. But in situations where you just want left, right, up & down without paying attention to that sensitivity a d-pad is better because it's just simple on and off. There's no room of error for the game to interpret things incorrectly because you thought you were doing one thing and actually were a little off. I think that sort of thing would be worse with the remote. In a situation where how you move the remote is exactly how the character responds then the sensitivity will be welcome. But if you don't want that level of sensitivity then it's going to be more imprecise because there's a higher chance of things being misinterpretted.

Well, yeah. How many 3d games have you played where you wanted the movement to be controlled with a d-pad instead of an analogue stick?

I'll admit they're not exactly the same. But I would still consider designing a controller in a certain shape to appeal goes against the basic rules of controller design. A controller is a tool and it should be designed as such. I don't think how a controller looks should ever be part of the controller design process. It should all be about button placement and ergonomics and stuff like that.

Yeah, but if they designed the controller with only comfort in mind, you'd be complaining about how Nintendo is still stuck in their own little world and still refuses to try to appeal to the average consumer. For my part, while I want the controller to be comfortable, I recognize that it is extremely important that Nintendo sell this controller to as many people as possible. An iconic shape can do that.

I like your game ideas, BTW.

There are currently 6 people on the side of good, and 4 on the side of evil. Voting for an innocent now could spell doom for the townies....

Edit: As far as I can tell, The Rat and Toruresu didn't post on day 5, so you guys need to post today. Though perhaps pryo will  go easy on the rules seeing as how it's the weekend.

KN's was actually one of my last guesses for the ninja-pirate. I figured it would have been someone who at least played the last round. Oh well. KN - you're going down in the next game.

You're still on about that non-random selection thing?

Flattery will get you everywhere.

In other news, there are currently 8 people on the side of good (including the policia, pheonix and judge, and Iwamatsu), and 5 on the side of evil (2 pirates and 3 ninja).

Watch out!

Skelator does look a lot like the emperor, though. But I'm sure that was just a coincidence and the Masters of the Universe filmmakers had no intention of stealing from anyone....

I prefer Wild Cherry Pepsi. There's just something about the can design and the words "Wild Cherry" that makes me push the button on the soda machine.

The original cherry coke design was much more 'wild'. Don't know why they changed it....

reporter: Do you feel your products are needed, now that similar products are offered by first party companies at a similar price?

NubyTech representative: We feel that NubyTech's products still serve the marketplace well, yes. Our customers have grown accustomed to our unique features which no other company provides, and appreciate the variety of choice we give to the marketplace.

reporter: Yes, but isn't it true that, not only are first party products of better quality, but are out faster as well?

NubyTech: This may be true, this may not be. We feel it is best that the marketplace decides what products it wants.

Since I tend to believe that providing accurate information > withholding/manipulating information in ill-conceived attempts to manipulate people's actions, I have no problem with this book.

I see a lot of potential in the remote but not as a standard controller. I see it like a lightgun in that it's appropriate for some titles but, due to the lack of buttons and the sheer annoyance it would be to wave something around for multiple hours at a time, not for all. In some cases having something respond exactly as your movement will be really cool. But in any situation where a button press would do a button press would be better due to the precision of digital buttons and the less physical effort required. You have to admit that merely assigning gestures to replace buttons would be pretty lame. In order for the remote to be a new standard as is that's going to happen. Hell Nintendo even had that in their demo video in a shot where a girl was playing Mario and bouncing the controller up to jump.

Ugg, think outside the box for once. The revmote detects motion on a true 3-d plane with incredible sensitivity...the first time anything like that has been offered on any games console. And that's 'not as precise'? I'll tell you what's not precise: when you push a button, your sword swings in a pre-determined way... except when it doesn't and the game decides you want to speak to a character instead. Want to hit an enemy that's beside you instead of in front? Well, maybe there's a button combo for that. Want to block an enemy's jab? Sorry, tough luck. When the revolution comes out, saying the revmote isn't  as good as button presses for performing actions in a 3-d world will be like saying the analogue stick isn't as good as the d-pad for controlling movement in a 3-d world.

Anyway. What your other concerns? Not enough buttons? The revmote has 3 buttons. 7 counting the d-pad, 9 counting the nunchaku. So no real worries there. Plus, the shell. But you know about that. Too physically exausting? People who have used the controller say it only requires subtle movements and is not in any way physically exausting.

Developers and reporters alike are in love with the controller. But, most importanly, Nintendo is in love with it, and feels it offers the best means for bringing their game concepts to life. As far as I can tell, your worries are unfounded.
