  1. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    Took me a moment to figure out a lot of people think that Samus is called 'Metroid'.
  2. Show me your desk/gaming space

    The photo with the movies is a little blurry, but I think those are all porn parodies.
  3. Post your face!

    You all look like fine gents!
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    I was totally fine with Tron Legacy. It's arguably a much better film than the original Tron, which, really, let's not beat around the bush, for all its cult status, is a pretty big mess. Interesting, but a mess.
  5. Nintendo 3DS

    About SMT: it's not like a standard RPG, there's a whole Pokémonesque mechanic to it where you have to battle, catch, train and coax monsters to fight for you.
  6. Nintendo 3DS

    It took me about half an hour of going 'ugh, oh god, what is this, I don't even', before I started really appreciating the slow pacing, the mood, the fun of the game itself. I'll probably give the full Mirror of Fate a try at some point. It's absolutely no Igarashi Castlevania, but that's necessarily bad. It's a different thing.
  7. Nintendo 3DS

    Let's see what craaaaazy features they've added to LttP this time! Ha, kidding, I am looking forward to this. Hey, I also didn't realise that apparently the Starship Damrey is already out or close to release. Hot stuff. It's like the Gone Home of handhelds. Also, why didn't anyone tell me Swords & Soldiers was getting a 3D treatment? That is an EXCELLENT strategy game that will fit right on the system. I don't know if the conversion is solid, but if it is, that's the first thing I'll buy.
  8. Why can't I enjoy System Shock 2?

    A state of constant panic is pretty much the correct thing you're supposed to be feeling. Don't remember the minigame though, there should definitely be a proper way to play it.
  9. Nintendo 3DS

    I'd love it if after five years, my entire Wild World town is now covered in a giant mutated plant who has developed a consciousness and which you must now beat to free the enslaved populace.
  10. Not new by any standard, but today all I could think of was Peter O'Hanra Hanrahan. Peter! You've lost the news!
  11. Nintendo 3DS

    Oh, by the way, I am STOKED to start playing Animal Crossing in a month from now. It'll be easily five years since I had a blast with Wild World.
  12. I'm just at the bit where you guys are asking for feedback on what type of merchandise I'd like. Well, I would love some quality apparel, but not t-shirts and the like, because I find I'm wearing those less and less. I'd like something I can wear to work. I'm reminded of the Penny Arcade line of polo shirts. Clothing that's classy and subtle, perhaps with only an Idle Thumb on it, or a logo, or a small wizard hat. Alternatively, a good quality hoodie to wear at home. On top, I'd prefer the logo as it is on the site, rather than the 'pixeled' one. Just the first thoughts in my head, about what I'd actually wear on a day-to-day basis. Alternatively, a novelty tie in the shape of a grotesque, detailed thumb.
  13. Nintendo 3DS

    That's interesting! Would you say class 6 is ideal? What class is the standard SD card? And how much did you pay for it? Over here, SD cards of 32GB are still easily 35 euros, which is steep in my book.
  14. Curiosity – What's Inside the Cube?

    Take a bath with a touch of lavender. Prepare some potpourri in a bowl.
  15. Post your face!

    The 29th, check.
  16. Post your face!

    "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the awkward thing, not because Zeusthecat turned out to be Urkel, but because he turned out not to be Urkel."
  17. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    30 cents?! I gotta buy myself a Wii U just for that bargain. Why is Super Metroid not on the 3DS eShop? 't ain't fair...
  18. Post your face!

    We've all been HAD by your avatar!
  19. I Had A Random Thought...

    The Pokemon Stadium game where you have to catch all the eggs by leaning a chansey left and right is master. Also, the scyther/pinsir wood-chopping game.
  20. Pokémon X and Y

    The name Gogoat is all too reminiscent of Hanna-Barbera Transformers rip-off Gobots
  21. Curiosity – What's Inside the Cube?

    The person unlocking the cube will experience the thrill of Molyneux' actual, physical hand pushing through the phone's screen en prodding them on the forehead. Then, slowly, it'll sink back in, and that'll be that.
  22. Meeting people from the internet is weird

    I'm not the foreigner! You're the foreigner! Or should I say... Your the foreigner!
  23. Pokémon X and Y

    I hope there's an entirely deep metagame around riding Gogoat.
  24. Pokémon X and Y

    Those Pokemon look really great. I wonder if this game will have lots of exploring!
  25. Meeting people from the internet is weird

    It'll work only if you use five year olds to host!
