    Super Paper Mario

    Too bad I'll never get a chance to play that Crush game probably, but I'll keep an eye out for it if ever go back and play PSP games.

    Super Paper Mario

    Place your concerns aside: this is an awesome game. Just got it the other day. The whole 2D/3D world flipping concept is strongly realized and well executed. It works on so many levels and it's one of those things that only Nintendo coulda pulled off first (we may see some variations on this in...

    Question of the Day

    Ooh, hard one. It's between Russian, Italian, and Norwegian. Russian because I could watch Andrei Tarkovsky's movies without subtitles. Italian because I like the way it sounds. And Norwegian because I have family who lives in Norway.

    Good stuff. I'm sure the zapper shell will be worth it if they get some good FPSs. Can't wait for Mario Galaxy. Or Prime 3.

    Question of the Day

    Earthbound probably. That game is just weird in retrospect. Weird and good.

    My favorite is probably the original Zelda.

    America Takes back Hotdog Eating Belt

    Great, great. Just another thing for Americans to misdirect their pride in. Fitting, though, being the fatasses we are. :P

    Question of the Day

    This talk of food presently unsettles me after watching Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut collectively eat 129 hot dogs in 12 minutes... :P

    Question of the Day

    Games: Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, the Silent Hill series, Super Spike Volleyball--these games are relatively underrated in the broader picture. Movies: The Thin Red Line, Lost Highway

    Question of the Day

    Games: Vagrant Story (monotonous level design), Donkey Kong 64 (poor game design), Super Smash Bros. Melee (no soul), God of War (repetitive gameplay) . Movies/TV: Godfather movies and The Sopranos (what are people's obsession with the mafia?).

    I like anything Satoshi Kon does.

    Question of the Day

    The boards are on life support it seems, so probably not unfortunately. :/

    Question of the Day

    I wouldn't know. I have never looked at myself in the mirror. I don't believe in introspection... ... :P Anyway, yeah, mine are something like that. pale greenish blue

    In the East, the Far East, when a person is sentenced to death, they're sent to a place where they can't escape, never knowing when an executioner may step up behind them, and fire a bullet into the back of their head...

    Super Paper Mario

    Yeah, that's a general assumption I'm willing to afford to any game being released on consoles through the major publishers for sure. Higher management probably makes sure that their products are balanced enough to be completed in theory (by means of the QA teams). I mean, I can't think offhand...

    Super Paper Mario

    My belief is that almost all modern games are designed in such a careful way that you can figure out how to progress eventually based on your past gaming experiences. You just gotta tap into it. My example is Metroid Prime: Echoes. There's something cool about playing a sequel of a game that is...
