Mario Chat / Re: Most frustrating Mario moment.

« on: August 27, 2005, 05:29:15 PM »

I'm terrible at video games, and I don't play them that much, so I couldn't name a most frustrating moment.  That said, those bullies were EASY.

Mario Chat / Re: 128 becomes 256!

« on: August 27, 2005, 05:24:04 PM »

Delaying SM128 to revolution wouldn't change how many games we have.  It's Super Mario 128.  It's not Obligatory GameCube Super Mario Game or Obligatory Revolution Super Mario Game.

I'm not 100% on this, but I think that all levels that shouldn't be accessed regularly are just other levels modified.

Mario Chat / Re: Mario will be banned forever?

« on: August 27, 2005, 05:08:25 PM »

A. What the hecks are you talking about, all games will be banned?  Can anyone show me any case in which something was banned in America besides legal reasons (e.g., The Profit, countless sample-heavy recordings)?  With proper releases, you could have the filthiest of porn mixed with the most violent of murder and it would be perfectly legal.  The same applies to video games.



B. If you want to see GTA games off the shelf, run your own store.



C. Right on CMN. (I'm typing responses as I read this thread, so I may just be repeating things that other people have said)



D. People like naked people.  Not all people, but some.  That said, people will always buy games with naked people in them.  They won't be all the games that are bought, but some.  Games will probably become more cinematic over time, and while M-rated games will gain more acceptance (and Nintendo, if wise, will be releasing M-rated games like everyone else), it will probably blend in with the others, such as many people may go to see movies rated anywhere from G to NC-17.  It's just an initial shock thing.  In the future people will laugh at the concept that people were shocked by the stuff in GTA games.  If it had been a movie, it probably would have slid by everyone, unnoticed.



E. "kiddy" somehow morphing into "fun" or "entertaining" just doesn't make sense.  Unless you're in advertising.

General Chat / Re: Floyd talk

« on: July 21, 2005, 09:57:32 AM »

As a fan of Pink Floyd, I was soon drawn into this whole thing.

I've heard that the best way to do it is to use a CD that shows a solid prism on the cover (i.e., you can't see the light being refracted like on the LP) and a pre-1989 copy of The Wizard Of Oz, that has a few seconds added or removed (I can't remember).  You would know if you had this if the opening sequence is in straight black & white, and not sepia-toned.

However, apparently variations are still good, and I think most people watch it with a DVD anyway.

I personally don't believe in repeating CDs in synching.  Some people swear by it.  (One friend of mine uses Wish You Were Here after DSotM finishes)

I probably have volumes more I could type, but I will choose to stop now.

I'd keep the PS2 for DDR, Rez, and possibly some Final Fantasies.

Mario Chat / Re: Old School? New School?

« on: July 16, 2005, 03:55:24 AM »

Old school.  I liked PM:TTYD, and I think it's probably the funniest game I've played, but then, new school is like a billion different genres, and I haven't really played many.

I am anticipating the NSMB, even though I do not yet have a DS.
