    Metroid Prime 3

    Man, I really like this game. It got a lot better after I got intuned with the controls. And it does a good job of keeping the Metroid atmosphere (unlike some reviews have suggested), and the story is good stuff (despite what some reviews suggested). So much better than Prime 2. I just wonder...

    Metroid Prime 3

    Got it today. It's pretty sweet. Highly immersive. Good controls. Sweet graphics. I can already tell it's better than the 2nd Prime. As for the first Prime, it's something of the impossible to reach its heights, but it seems pretty solid thus far. Wijg, where ya at man!? I know you wanna gush...

    Question of the Day

    Yeah, he probably is Scottish. Anyway, I like how he refers to everyone as 'brother'. And how he can see through time of course.

    Question of the Day

    The use of LSD doesn't lend itself to ironic, referentially structured thinking as far as I know. Maybe a google search reveals another level of reality.

    Question of the Day

    OMG... Could that pre school husband-to-be... could he be the 'Alley Master'? Yeah, I think you did do better. :P

    Question of the Day

    A man living in a deep, forgotten, maze-like alleyway told me this: He spoke of a Polish curse, one that bends the laws of causality. He says that you will realize on your wedding day, soon before exchanging vows, that your wedding is actually just a scene from a movie being filmed. Cameras...

    Fantasy Football kicks off!

    You mean getting beat by a guy who isn't actively involved in the league? Sure, that's one reason to not like it. Call me old fashioned, but I like games that require healthy interactivity from all parties involved. But that dimension of success relative to involvement is probably different from...

    Fantasy Football kicks off!

    You know what they say: Don't knock it before you try it. Well, I tried it, now I've come 'a knockin'. :P

    Fantasy Football kicks off!

    I'm representing a group known as The Realists. We are opposed to this widespread fantasy indulgence in society. It is taking away the perception of reality, which leads to a complacent, self-serving society. DEATH TO THE FANTASY MOVEMENT!

    Twilight Princess

    I had no problems with the wii controls. There was something lacking in Twilight Princess though. I'm finding it harder every day to compare stuff of the past with stuff of the present. The reason is I think is because of how relative game experiences were new then and are familiar now. I...

    Question of the Day

    I would like to see a CG Metroid. And of course a live-action Metal Gear Solid. I would say Halo but I'm pretty sure we'll see that sooner than later.

    Dr. Phil to discuss videogame violence o_O oh noes.

    Dr. Phil is a joke. Daytime TV is a joke. All of it--Dr. Phil, soap operas, Maury, psychic Sylvia Brown on Montel, etc.--need to go away if you ask me.

    Capcom/RE5 racist?

    Aw, c'mon, Spudz. Have you ever seen a grown zombie cry? Alright, since they already have zombie elephants, the next logical step would be Hippos, cuz those guys are fierce. That's the last thing I'd want to run into, a zombie hippo.

    Survival Shows

    I love Man vs. Wild. I don't care if he "phoned in" a few episodes. Way more interesting, energetic, and entertaining than that Survivorman show.

    Capcom/RE5 racist?

    The ruins of Raccoon City! It could be a paradigm shift. Zombies now inexplicably move faster (28 Days Later and Dawn of the Dead remake) due to uh radioactivity causing mutations in the T-virus. Maybe in that aspect it's like The Hills Have Eyes. So, given that, and taking a few cues from the...

    Question of the Day

    Well, at least that's better than anything Uwe Boll just for the uhh.. craziness of SMB. :P I read somewhere that the director's of that SMB movie were a knowitall husband-and-wife combo. Yep, you guessed it, they didn't go on to do anything else afterwards.

    Capcom/RE5 racist?

    Well, how about that. Flesh-eating elephants in a RE game that I didn't even know about. Of course I haven't played the Outbreak games. I was about to buy the first one for like $8 at EB the other day, but decided not to. I need to get it and the one above with the flesh-eating elephants now.

    Question of the Day

    Question of the Day: What's your favorite video game movie, either a vg adaptation or a movie about some aspect of video games? Mine would be eXistenZ by David Cronenberg. It deals with virtual reality gaming, but it has many parallels with current gaming today. And it's crazy and awesome...

    Capcom/RE5 racist?

    But back on topic. The big thing to consider and remember is that when you take video footage and edit it together, you have the ability to establish a totally different point of view, stance, context, etc., intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, it happens all the time. Movie marketing...
