MMXC vs. MHX

Thought occured to me earlier. A lot of rumor and speculation seems to suggest that the reason MMXC came out so badbare-bones is because of Maverick Hunter X. The natural suggestion so far is, "don't like it, don't buy it." Red figures we ought to pay for the good,...

More MMXC bitching.

Trying not to go off on a tangent. That said, after reading mhyoshimitzu's post, it's not so much the end product that ticks me off, but how they seemed to go about it. Had they said "we're just putting the first six games on a disc. We'll see what else we can do. Oh...

As Regards Spoilification

I must say that I agree with today's Penny Arcade. Yes, spoilers suck. But there's also something of a statute of limitations on that stuff. Seventy-year-old movies seen the world over? Your own fault, I figure. Game that just came out yesterday? Their fault....

R.I.P. Eddie

Thanks to lazy_blazey for the info. Fuck. Just... just fuck. I really don't know what to say about this. I mean, Eddie is a guy who fought his personal demons, drugs, alcohol, and overcame them, moving on to become the WWE Champion, the highest prize in his field......

Strange.

So, XBox 360 is coming out soon. Media's talking about it, there are various magazines and buyer's guides in the stores now, sites are chattering about it... Feels sort of soon, somehow. It's weird. To me, XBox almost doesn't feel like a video game system, not a...

I think he’s right.

We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true. - Robert Wilensky LBD "Nytetrayn"

Heh.

In memory of Don Adams, a real bit from his time on Get Smart: Agent 99: Oh Max, you're so brave. You're going to get a medal for this. Maxwell Smart: There's something more important than medals, 99. Agent 99: What? Maxwell Smart: It's after six. I get overtime. And...

Hah

This is a neat little piece about the changing of perception of gamers in Hollywood, and why they'd been portrayed as they had before. And it recaps one of Red and my favorite parts from "40-year Old Virgin." 😀 LBD "Nytetrayn"

What WERE They Thinking?

I think it's cool that Mirage Studios/the official TMNT website host their own eBay auctions of old TMNT toys. But looking back... man, what were they thinking? That's what I like best about the new line: even the weird gimmicky stuff seems a bit more plausible, or...

How old do you think Mario is?

Yeah, sure, we know that Super Mario Bros. just celebrated its 20th anniversary, but I'm not talking about that. I mean in-character. How old do you perceive Mario as being? It seems typically, whenever Mario has seen some sort of mainstream presence in the past, he's...

4Kids.tv remainder reviews, abridged-abridged. TMNT was good. Love the new intro. Some old, some new. After last season's blow-out closer, this past Saturday's was more of a filler follow-up, letting the guys recover on Casey's farm, but I expect it to pick up soon....

Sonic X, season 3

So with any luck, throughout the week I can give some little quick-hit reviews of this past Saturday's new fall lineup on 4Kids.tv/Fox. Ok, not the whole lineup, just Sonic X, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and GI Joe: Sigma Six. Today: Sonic X. I have no idea if Japan...

4chan amazes me sometimes.

Specifically, this bit of insight regarding Rockman Rockman on PSP: "I can't imagine this appealing to the people who bought a PSP for the "image". Which is to say 'most of them.'" It's actually a pretty good point. Also, regarding the level editor: "Multiplayer giant...
