Mommy I need to take a Wii.
« on: April 30, 2006, 07:14:14 pm »
I wanted to start this thread, despite it being sort of old news, because I just needed to make sure that everyone had heard about this.

Done reading?

Okay, thoughts?


Edit: if a mod could move this to sports & leisure I would be much obliged.

This couldn't be more tangentially related, but do the Smash Bros games still have Nes in them despite the fact that there are like 9 Americans that know who he is?

I couldn't vouch for the gamecube version, having not played it.  But I think my friends have mentioned that he is in there.  Also, come on I know who ness is, everyone should!  Also, somewhat more tangential, wouldn't an earthbound for the pu$$y be awesome?  You could simulate bat-swinging action with the revmote.  Yeah, that'd rock.


Also thanks for moving the thread.

goodness.

I read an article about this
which was on a blog
there was another article, which was about Oblivion.

I am now re-installing Morrowind. I am going to try a thing where I get past level 1 this time.
has it been done? This game confused and upset me so much. I do not enjoy having to aim my arrows and hits with a sword. they should be aimed by the character, who supposedly is very skilled at these things. I got killed by -everything-.

Morrowind is hard to get into, pretty easy to get lost.  A lot of people complained about the lack of guidance.  If you have acrobatics as a minor skill it gets pretty easy to level up, just jump all the time.  You'll gain like 6 points in a few minutes.  Also, stay away from marksmanship, it's too hard to get to a level where it becomes useful I thought.  Also, don't worry about the main plot, you're really under no obligation to even attempt it.  I just like fuck*ng around and leveling up, it can be a pretty immersive game.

yeah, ok
on second thought no way am I trying to play that game again.
if I'm going to start playing a game, I'm just going back to NWN or Master of Orion or something.

Warcraft III?
Baldur's Gate II?
Starcraft?

these are all possibilities.

I agree. I gave up on Morrowind pretty quickly. I play RPGs because they require no dexterity and if I walk away from the computer for an hour without pausing nothing happens.

Which reminds me, I think I still have a half-done game of Earthbound that I should finish. I'd just added Pu to my party.

TI: did you ever try Arcanum?

OH dude we totally already did this on IRC.. GET WITH THE TIMES!

You are lucky I like the cut of your jib.


Er.. anyway yes.. it is basically a bad idea.  I believe Ben-AFK pointed out that a lot of people will be asking for the W version I  (beyond the toilet humor obviously).


Cort: Arcanum was fun.. kind of...   Also Morrowind good god... I mean if I want to walk around that much I want it to be multiplayer at least.... because fuck if I can keep myself interested picking marshweed for 8 fuck*ng hours just to get to the next town.

I feel like there is a good reason that I never played Arcanum. But I don't remember it.

It was no FFVI or anything but it was a decent enough CRPG with a good hook with the technology vs. magick storyline.

I feel that naming their new system the Wii perfectly captures Nintendo's brand identity, which is to say kind of cute and benevolently insane.

I gotta be honest, when I first saw the name I thought it was the "W2" and wondered why they'd name it after the income tax form.

Man, I thought Revolution was the actual name of the thing.  It was kind of a bold and cocky name, but it really stuck.  The Wii is just stupid.  For anyone who may have purchased a Revolution they may think twice about buying a Wii. 

Not that Playstation or Xbox are genius names.

yeah, I really feel that by playing non-nintendo systems, I am missing out on this.

I read a great thing somewhere once, where a guy had played through one of their games in Japanese. He made up a storyline, and his storyline made more sense than theirs did... it was something involving a guy having plants help him build a spaceship, I think?
