For those wondering…
Kalidor: Well, dang. QUOTE Guys, Hate to have had to do it, but I had to pull down the supermanisadick.com website. The load continued to rise through the evening to a point where we were peaking at a maximum of 172 hits per second. Our servers could have taken quite...
Clarification?
Was just reading about the PSP and the DS. I hear that while both have had dead pixel issues, Nintendo has publicly apologized and said they'll gladly replace any DS's with said issue for free. Whereas Sony has made no such apology, and also said they won't replace...
More X8
Let's see, more X8 thoughts. Because I have nothing else to write about, apparently. 1) I hate when video games, ANY video games, lecture you after the first time you do something. Examples of which are the following: a) The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past -...
Mega Man X8
Just got Mega Man X8, and played a little of it. Won't say how much, but let's just say I'm not very far, so no spoilers, plzkthxbye. But, my thoughts: 1) Voices of X, Zero, and Axl are better acted than in Command Mission, despite being the same guys. But as I...
Go Fig.
rom woekitten's journal... ....I still think the elevator to the moon is the most ridiculous thing CAPCOM has come up with for the X series. >> My reply is thus: The irony is astounding. So much science fiction, and one of the times they do something actually grounded...
Rescue Zeroes
Wow, can't believe how slow I am on this... I just noticed, in all the coverage of X8... it looks like you don't have to rescue Reploids anymore. This both thrills me, and disappoints me. It thrills me because frankly, ever since they went the MMZ1 route of "get the...
State of Mega Man
The sad truth, as it stands. We've become victims of our own popularity. Sort of. Erdrick wrote:Quote:I don't care how many polygons are tossed onto the screen, the underlying gameplay of X8 is beyond old, it's dead. Mega Man should advance. Since it has not, I find...
Axess!
So today was the sneak-peek of MegaMan NT Warrior Axess. And surprisingly, it seems few are speaking of it in my LJ Friends, but I'll give it another rundown. Here are some thoughts on it... The theme song sucks balls. Why? It is a TOTAL reuse of the season 2, or...
Quick Mini-Reviews
Games to play, if you haven't given them a shot already: Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3(PS2): Definitely fun if you like the show/manga, and unique among fighting games. I didn't get to play 2, but I played a bit of 1, which was neat. Story mode is a little watered down in...
o/~ Halo my baby, Halo my honey, Halo my ragtime gal… o/~
The Future Shop in Toronto at the intersection of Eglinton and Laird, Microsoft came out to have a big Halo 2 blowout, and it was quite a bit of fun. Anyone else go? It's ironic, I didn't even know I was going until I was there. Somewhere along the way, Red and I...
Mario On Crack… er, I Mean, “Ice”
THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of fucked up. Here's sort of a running play-by play commentary... ...Jason Bateman? Who the fuck? Alyssa Milano, though... wasn't she from Who's The Boss? Some other stuff, too, I hear. ...is that a computer monitor? With...
Mega Man X Command Mission, part 2
Yes, I am enjoying Command Mission very much, thank you. I've only just started Chapter 4, but this game is providing more or less stuff I like out of Mega Man X right now. Foremost, it's giving me a setting that's NOT just "shoot everything." It's giving me character...
What a disappointment.
Just checked out the Garfield: The Movie DVD, and man, what a fucking disappointment... ...not the movie, mind, it's still good, I still love it. It's the DVD itself. In this day and age, this is just cheap bullshit. For bonuses, it has the usual commentary and...
Suck Vs. Cool Chaos
Cool: A home port of SVC Chaos: SNK Vs. Capcom Suck: It's only on XBox(fuck YOU, SCEA, and your stupid Compu-Nazi policies). Cool: Still being able to play it at work on occassion, and getting PAID for it, provided a customer is involved. Suck: Various other...
Yo, Joe!
Just finished watching GI Joe: Valor Vs. Venom. Strange, I thought it was supposed to be done by a Japanese studio, but the closest thing I saw to any sort of Asian in the "Making of" feature was the VA for Dr. Mindbender. Overall, not a bad movie. A little jarring,...
“Punisher” A Punishment? I Don’t Think So…
So, I finally got to see The Punisher. It's been a pretty constant, well-doing rental, so I don't see what's so "bad" about it. I'm something of a Punisher fan, though not exactly hardcore, nor for a long time, but I do know things about the character. I know the...
Rina Aiuchi hates you, and so do I.
w00t! MegaMan X7 voices in English(under "Media")! Axl sounds boyish, perhaps a slight bit TOO much so. Still, it's comparable to Legends' MegaMan, who is about the same age. So it works. Zero's jarred the hell out of me. The grunts and oofs were good, but actually...
Mega Man X Command Mission
I got to play GameCube's version of Mega Man X Command Mission for the briefest of periods at work today, just before closing. Like, maybe five minutes. I got to see the opening, and the first little bit. So far, I like it. Though I had about 3 random encounters in...
Mega Man Zero 3
To those who say that they will ignore the events of the games of the Mega Man X series past X5, because that is where Inafune had originally wanted it to end... don't. That's all I'm going to say, other than it seems I was right, Inafune wasn't going to let the...
The BN Difference
Hmm. Know one thing that, in my view, makes Mega Man Battle Network, among other licenses in the genre, stand out from say, Mega Man Zero or Mega Man X? Despite the weird, off-the-wall world in which they live, where everything from the microwave to the doghouse is...
