I think that The New Super Mario Bros is worth buying a DS for alone. Plus a new Professor Layton game just shipped and it is AMAYZANG!
Oh! and there's a great NES emulator for it with a "rewind" button, so you can finally play through games like Contra.
..tell me more! What's this emulator called? Say it aint Nesticle!!

quote of the year
"it's not even the same feeling of: 'oh it's two in the morning and I just watched this great movie'... It's two in the morning and I've watched other people peeing... all day" -Chuck Jordan
almost broke my tooth when I tried to sip a bottle of mango nectar while listening to that line...
and it's not even like I almost broke my tooth while watching a great movie...
it's that it's 2 in the morning and I almost broke my tooth thanks to a pee gag...

I just learned of the scatological nature of a 'Hot Scoop'...
episode 7? hot-scoops hit the fan
I also like the ongoing jokes about web urls that lead to those "what you need when you need it" pages.
whatyouneedwhenyouneedit.biz redirect?

*Paul Hellquist did Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway... where's my gold star?
I think this stuff looks amazing, I'm a sucker for that lowbrow art stuff where pop culture symbols are rendered with loving renaissance art technique (see: Mark Ryden)... plus Spector has a pretty solid track record.
*or at least that's what moby games says.

P.s. It's the first game in years that has made me move the contoller around unconciously like a goon to get that extra bit of height/distance. As a 'gamer', I feel ashamed to admit this
I reinstalled Trials 2:SE on steam to give it another shot and while I still enjoy it, I also still suck terribly at it...
Meanwhile in other jumping news, I've been getting into quake engine trickjumping, specifically for Enemy Territory. In order to get really tough jump sequences I end up constricting my entire body like some kind of mis-jointed rag doll... one leg curled back, one straight out bobbing in the air, my neck hunched, and my head twisted to the left for whatever inner-ear neuro programmed advantage my brain feels it gives me... my girlfriend walked in and was afraid the game was giving me seizures... (maybe it's the neverending gamma jump maps
) I never found that this kind of externalization of controller movement to be something to be ashamed of, doesn't it just speak to an immersive experience?

Falling off a building in Mirror's Edge really disturbs the hell out of me. And I'm not even afraid of heights.Yeah I had to look away every time I fell off a building... the motion blur visual effect they used coupled with the sound effect they chose to represent her body collapsing into mush were too much for me...
otherwise I was scared as a kid playing The Colonel's Bequest... pro tip: Don't use the shower.

Hey there fellow thumb idlers, I am not much of a forum guy but love the podcast so much and I thought I'd give this forum thing another shot!
I'm also making a TF2 map and would like some people to play it and get back to me, so PM me if you are interested.
