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.

Penny Arcade's take.

For the record, I would buy the nintendo pu$$y.

"Hey guys come over to my house and we'll play some smash bros on the pu$$y."

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?

[FlipConstantine]

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-.

[FlipConstantine]

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.

[theinevitable]

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?

[misterqueue]

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.

[theinevitable]

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.

[Ben-San]

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.

"What if the carrots in my garden were little men? Would they love me or fear me?"

[jough]

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.

[theinevitable]

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?
