I've just started putting some serious time in this today; the difficulty really ramps up right off the bat. It wasn't anything terrible but then I got to world 3 and lost the abundance of lives I had on two stages. WTF? I hadn't bled lives like that since 4-player Wold 8 levels in NSMBW or "the perfect run" in SMG2.

Fuckin' love it! :D

subtitles are great for learning langauges too i picked up like 20 words watching Let the Right One in

which reminds me

Let Me In 9/10
Let the Right one in 8.5/10

the remake gets the higher score because some characters are better developed/have better scenes, or exist at all.



Agreed, the remake was more enjoyable because of the very points you mentioned; it actually made me wish I saw the original first instead of checking it out after seeing the US remake, I might not have been as disappointed otherwise.

Kung-Fu Panda 2:  7/10

Almost an 8/10 but something about Po's personality kept getting on my nerves. I felt he was dumber than the original but I haven't seen that since I saw it in theaters so who knows. I liked it, it was a cute movie just as the last one, had more touching moments than (from what I remember of) the first one.

I didn't mother seeing it in 3d as my experience with 3D animated movies tells me there's only 2 or 3 good stand-out scenes in 3d (no pun intended) and the rest is worthless but you can't take the glasses off or else everything will be blurry, blah.

I liked the ending; kinda cements the fact that Po was destined to be the Dragon Warrior and really wasn't just dumb luck, plus makes you wonder what they'll do in a 2nd sequel.

Is it known yet if the Nintendo World Store in NYC will be holding an event? I'd love to go and experience the hype train 1st hand second hand, instead of checking in on the forums a day or two after the event for recaps.
Why can't you watch it live with us online?

Cuz if there is no event to go to, I'll be at work and won't be able to watch it (i'm assuming it's on a weekday, I haven't checked the calendar to see when the 7th falls on)

Does no one read the news stories on the site?

Quote from: The goddamned front page of this site.
Starting at 11 a.m. on June 7, Nintendo and StreetPass NYC will host an event featuring tournaments, E3 bingo, and AR cake. They will also showcase the Nintendo Press Conference, which begins at 12 p.m. EST, on a large screen.

No, no I don't. Haven't since PGC...

To be fair to the site, at the time I used PGC for all my nintendo news, then news went dry and I stumbled into the forums. I'd never been on a forum before and didn't "get it" at first, but eventually I read through some entertaining threads and realized news/and rumors were more regularly posted here, so I lurked until 2006

Sorry NWR..

I LOL @ EB because we all know it's not gonna happen.

I've never even played the game and I'm right beside everyone that has hoping for some sort of Mother Resurgence. I'm just not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

I stopped holding out hope for that a long time ago, so my apologies as the joke flew way over my head.


An HD Remix is a cheap recycling job that can get suckers to buy a game they already own for like a fourth time.  Of COURSE Nintendo is going to have that.

I'm giving out my 2nd or 3rd applaud to this statement, as it's the most positive thing I can recall ever saying in my entire time on these boards.

To add my 2 cents to that topic, while it'd be a great idea in the sense that it could introduce older classics to a new generation who either;

-are ignorant little bitches and refuse to play old-school games because their NOT HD

-have no other means to check out the classics (in a legitimate way that allows the makers to fund future projects)

I personally don't feel the need to do so. I just find it rare that I'd want to re-experience one of the older games I've owned for years in HD, as if it would add anything to the experience. I'm stating this because I recently saw the new trailer for Ocarina of Time 3D and the entire time I thought "this looks exactly how I remember it". Yes, the textures are better, higher polygon count, plus it's in 3d (obviously) but it didn't thrill me into wanting to play the game again, or more importantly, purchase the game again. Through nostalgia tinted glasses, I remember Ocarina of Time as this gorgeous 3d game with visuals beyond anything out at that point in time. I know if I put the game on right now it'll be a blurry/jaggy mess, but still a good game that I'll be able to enjoy no matter how blurry.

tl;dr: HD remakes have their place and purpose but chances of me being into it are slim. Cite all the benefits you want (like PD fixing frame rate issues) but it's just not for me. I'll pass.

Thanks to Radio Free Nintendo Episode 244, I'll be buying this game for $20 off of Amazon. It sounds like people have really enjoyed this game so I hope I will too. This will be my first first person shooter for the Wii and I'm eager to wrangle with the Wii remote and nunchuk controls.

If you don't enjoy it, I'll give you a cookie :)

P.E.N.I.S.?

Ahh..I remember how funny that was back in 2006 :)

Good times on the forums then.

regarding that Smash rumor, while it would be cool to see, I just can't see myself getting hyped up for it. Every new Smash to come out, I play it less and less, I might just straight up skip the next one

^Spoilers to keep from being flamed by the hardcore players of said game^

And did BnM just LOL at my beloved Earthbound!? Sir, I demand satisfaction!

Yeah that scene makes the movie. I still watch it occasionally on youtube.

I'm glad you watched it with subtitles. Foreign movies lose a lot of authenticity when dubs are used.

I don't watch enough foreign films to judge either way, but I am biased against sub-titles for the most part.

With that said, I'd still like to see this one again, dubbed, just for the heck of it - even if it won't compare.

IP Man 2 is out on DVD. I haven't seen it yet, but you might want to check it out too.

Ip Man: BNM's review / Stogi's Review

He (my cousin) told me he saw the prequel (Ip Man 2) but wasn't feeling it. I'll definitely check it out eventually and form my own opinion, but still; anyone else who hasn't seen Ip Man NEEDS to watch it.

Edit: you saw an english dub!? Lol i saw it with subtitles, which I normally hate, and STILL loved the movie enough to give it a 10/10.

I almost pissed myself when my dude, Ip Man, gave that flury of punches to one of the 10 japanese guys to the point that the dude was convulsing for the rest of the scene

no, I don't think you got a general consensus at all. From what I remember, only 3 of us have seen the movie here and Dasmos is the only one that didn't like it.

(I know I'm late but) definitely not the consensus; I saw this movie, in IMAX, and of altered mind knowing full well what I was getting into. OK, so thats a lie; I had no idea what I was getting into, story wise, but I knew it was more flash than substance and I made the choice of paying my $6 and was FAR from disappointed. Oh and the soundtrack was almost 10/10.

There are so many movies I've seen since my last post here but I'm taking some special time out to advise anyone who hasn't to see this movie:

Ip Man 10/10;

My cousin told me about it on friday, he's a huge fan of martial arts movies. He tried to hype up the movie for about 20 minutes but the first sentence out of his mouth was enough to get me interested, and I watched the movie that same night and called him afterwards to tell him how right he was. Oh, that line i mentioned:

"it's based on Bruce Lee's wang-chun master"

This isn't actually funny, but I didn't want to make a thread just for it.


Cell phone in the microwave.

At first it looks like some creature is rising out of the phone, and then just before he is gonna turn around, he balloons into some sort of Akira like mutant blob (kinda see a face with a jaw screaming for help just before it explodes).

that last part (the face/jaw screaming) reminds me of this:

Took a break from my art class with a couple of dudes i befriended, one of them had a bottle so we did a couple of shots. This one losery guy comes out of nowhere and tries to get in on the action but he wasn't really getting our humour. I tell the joke, he happens to be the dumbass to correct me and like Rick James I just *SLAP*'d his face and he was Charlie Murphy pissed.

The two other guys had my back and calmed him down, then we ripped on him till he left. He was pretty heated though, I was ready to try to dodge a blow if I had to.

*This is a joke that need to be retold and involves audience response and physical interaction*
*This joke doesn't work if the person your telling it to doesn't participate*

Bitch, Don't Correct Me!

So there's this pimp in town and he only has 3 hoes. They're all sitting down discussing the usual things a pimp discusses with his hoes. He tells his first hoe that all he wants when she's done is a $120 cut, tells his second hoe that he wants a $150 cut and tells his third hoe, the most beautiful of all three of them, that he wants a $200 cut. They all agree and hit the streets for the night.

The next day the pimp gathers his 3 hoes up and starts asking them for his cut of the money.

He says to the first hoe "ok where's my $140?", she responds "But you told me i owed you $120!" He then SMACKS her and yells "Bitch, don't correct me!"

He goes to his second hoe "where's my $200?!", she gets all defensive "What are you talking about?! you said $150!" He SMACKS her and yells "Bitch, don't correct me!"

He goes up to his third hoe "ok where's the $250" - she looks at him and says "I thought I owed $200!" He SMACKS her and yells "Bitch, don't correct me!"

He goes up to his fourth hoe "don't give me problems, where's my $300?!"

(This is when your audience should interrupt you to point out that you said he only had three hoes... so you SMACK them and yell "bitch, don't correct me!" - if they don't interrupt, just keep the joke going until they eventually interrupt you.
He went to his 5th hoe, 6th hoe... etc etc)

*It might help if you clue them in to pay attention and/or find whats wrong so that they know to interrupt you.*

I almost got into a fight my first semester of college when I told this joke.

i turned it off as soon as i realized how horribly they used that sample.

i've seen him and the kid with the weird ass on reddit though, i was wondering where they came from.
