Looks mildly entertaining, but nothing truly amazing in my eyes...

Is that the one where the Chinese police had a mole inside the mafia headquarters and vice versa and it was confusing as hell because everyone looked the same?

Was I overly critical because of the hype, or would I still think it was awful regardless? The problem is that it's impossible to remove all related memories from my mind and watch it again with a fresh perspective, so there's no way to know. I can't say I've ever had the same problem with games. For the record, I got Deus Ex for free with a sound card, and I didn't know anything about it when I started playing it. I think it's one of the best PC games I've ever played.
I loved Batman Begins. I would say that one of the reasons I enjoyed it was because I saw it on opening night with Cap and S_B and we all had a blast at the end (the audience even applauded like crazy, something that didn't happen with Superman Returns), but the audio in the theater was bad to the point where all I heard were mumbles and I was cold as hell, so I can't exactly say that the overall experience helped me liked the movie since there were elements that could've ruined it too.
So this still remains a mystery...

Yeah, I made it I think a year ago for my website (the pic is also hosted from my website).
There was a discussion about how the world's ugliest dog had died and thus this monstrosity was shown. Since at the time Nintendogs was really popular I decided to make a perverse version of it with some other evil, ugly or pathetic looking dogs.
Consider it the Garbage Pail Kids of the Nintendogs universe.

Yet another strong week of releases. Once again, I am glad Nintendo has realized that they need to release the games people want, not just the filler.
If I had the points I would download the adventure island game. I LOVE this series to death.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Official "Virtual Console Mondays" Thread
« on: February 18, 2007, 03:52:07 PM »
I was just thinking, I think Nintendo should add a "best sellers/top 10 games" list on its store.
The welcome screen almost looks like a best sellers screen, so they could do that and list the best selling games of the week/month etc.
Would help a lot of people since chances are the best selling games are also some of the best ones.
Also, since its Monday, I'm guessing that Donkey Kong Country might be on today's update. Either that or Adventure Island.

Smash_Brother is in reality...A REALLY SMART GORILLA!
He's my pet gorilla, actually. I taught him how to use a laptop and make really convincing arguments on online forums! He is an excellent Smash Bros. player too!

General Chat / RE: Naruto Shippuuden (SPOILERS)
« on: February 17, 2007, 06:15:07 AM »
I downloaded the episode after I saw this thread. I really enjoyed it. It was great seeing the characters once more, seeing how much they have grown and how things were in Konoha Village (although I did find it redundant when Naruto kept seeing everything and he was like "Man, this is so nostalgic!").
I loved the little interstitials where they showed how the characters have grown and changed. It's amazing how tall Naruto is now!
I also loved when Konohamaru showed Naruto the sexy jutsu then Naruto's like "I'm a grown up now, I don't do such techniques anymore...BECAUSE I HAVE MORE PERVERTED TRICKS!". Sakura's reaction was priceless.
It was also great seeing Jiraiya again. I don't know why but he's one of my favorite characters in the series.
So yeah, I hope this is a great continuation to an awesome series. The first episode shows a lot of promise and can't wait to see what happens next, although I feel like calling this Naruto Z, since this is basically a second version of the series (at least to me it is...).

Hey, blame it on the secrecy and delay of the game.
And what issue of Nintendo Power are you talking about, Dirk? Like I said, Nintendo has said NOTHING about the game's progress since it was delayed back in September.

General Chat / Hype: The reason why I avoid some games
« on: February 16, 2007, 07:32:31 PM »
The Deus Ex talk reminded me of something I've been meaning to talk about.
There are some games that are considered to be the best in the entire industry. I'll confess that I avoided some of these games. Why? One word: HYPE.
We all know what it is, its the thing that raises our expectations about something, its what gets us really excited for something. Sometimes the hype is warranted but about 80% of the time it just destroys the potential thanks to the exceedingly high expectations it creates.
Hence why I have avoided some games like they were the plague. There are some games that either online forums or close friends HYPE like they were the best thing since sliced bread. If go play said games because of this, chances are I will not see what everyone's talking about and move on with something else.
Here are some games that I avoided because I fear that hype may ruin my overall enjoyment of the game:
Deus Ex: S_B has told me how great this game is, as well some of my school friends and classmates. One of them even gave me a copy of the game, but I never got around to playing it. Like I mentioned, I fear that the game might not meet my expectations. Also, the minute I loaded it up, that feeling that says "this isn't going to be as good as people say it is" reared its ugly head, so I decided to stop before it took over and ruined my enjoyment of the game.
Prince of Persia The sands of time: This I flat out avoided. I didn't buy it, I didn't rent it, I didn't borrow it from a friend, hell I IGNORED every review that said that this game was a masterpiece, because I KNEW people were hyping this game WAY too much, so the chance of it not meeting expectations were really high. So no...
Beyond Good and Evil: Everyone who has played this has said that the game is fantastic, one of the best Ubi has ever released. Hell, if I am not mistaken Cap owns several copies of the game because he loves the game too much. While I do trust people when they say the game is good I simply have that fear that once I play it I will find something wrong with it.
So overall, I rather have a nice, neutral memory of a game than play it, then be annoyed at the hype and argue with people about it.
Does anyone feel the same way?

I used to have a copy of the game, but never got around to playing it. Frankly, the game gets so much hype I am afraid that it will kill it for me.
