Commentary
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....
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...
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...
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...
Be a Hero?
Sign in one of the elevators of our apartment building. Personally, every time I see this sign, I think to myself, "Bullshit." I really disagree with the notion that what they describe in these pictures is heroism, unsung or not. Seriously, since when is a...
So Sue Me
If you haven't read it already, Red's Trip Through Your Wires chapter 24 is up and waiting for you. I'm rather satisfied by it, as the missus gave a pretty damn good portrayal of my namesake in the piece. Better still, I can see my choice for the voice of this younger...
Mission Complete
So, just this past Sunday at work, or rather, RIGHT before I had to start, I finally beat Mega Man X8, with Axl. On Normal, mind(I'd beaten it on Easy beforehand). Still have to see X and Zero's endings, but with the way I'm blowing through Hard, I don't expect it to...
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 -...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Simply Rotten
I never knew that Rotten Tomatoes did game reviews. Red mentions the site often enough, but only for movies. Interesting to me, natch, are the Mega Man scores. X7 got an unbelievable 0%(60% and over constitutes a "fresh" tomato, just so you know. Yes, that's a good...
Looking Back…
Ever have something you enjoyed a lot once upon a time, but quit following for no particular reason come back, and suddenly you can't get enough? Well, it's been happening to me lately. And what it is, is just a little out of the ordinary, by my reckoning. It's not GI...
Thoughts on Mega Man Legends 2
I've just gone through part of Elysium in Mega Man Legends 2. For the first time, actually, save for a few "feeling out" trips before. "What, you STILL haven't finished that?!" is what you're probably saying. Yes, it's true, but I've decided it's high time I went...
