Not that I don't appreciate any appearance by The Dude, isn't that the whole point of this new breed of thread, our opinions?

Also, I know it's kind of cheating, because it's a greatest hits album, but The Best of Hall & Oates is perfect listening to me as well.  And this isn't some ironic listening habit, I actually really enjoy Hall & Oates.

That's not a great plan, because I would say Jurassic Park, and we'd have to shut the thread down, because it would complete.  Because Jurassic Park is the best movie that will ever be, and there can really be no debate about it.

Wait, get rid of Carnival Night Zone? It has one of the best level designs I've seen, and is certainly the best of that era. Everything ties together perfectly, the music, the setpieces, the villains, plus the branching paths that crisscross the whole time, which can seem confusing but there's almost no way to actually get lost, secrets and rooms that feel cohesive. Like, there are rules for where they can go, but the guy putting the level together knew you knew the rules, shaking it up a bit. I kept it off my list because Sonic 3 was so short, and something like that were done today, release a short game then the end a year later, both for full price, people would freak right out.

X-Men Legends II - great level design, good secrets, multiple viable builds for each character, and solid mechanics. I can still go back and play it with no issues.

Chu-Chu Rocket - great puzzles in single player, computer AI is good, multiplayer is great. Plus it's easy to learn and a great way to hate the person sitting next to you.

Honorable mentions:
Monday Night Combat: grenADE iii arena isn't the grestest level design, lack of updates and balancing, but overall very solid gameplay.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance: lack of control over stats, repetitive quick time boss battle parts. Difficulty not high enough at Medium, have to unlock Hard.

(this ones gonna sound odd) Mirror's Edge: very linear in some places, rather short. Otherwise I loved it, and thought it was very solid.

I thought that was fairly well known. If you look at the Virtual Boy controls, it's also very similar. I'd be willing to think that Nintendo would trademark that sorta shape like they did with the cross control pad design.

The issue brought up with homosexuals marrying that I get most surprised by is when people throw that it's unnatural because it does not lead to childbirth. What? Are we still cavemen? Do we really need to base existence on procreating? Is there no other judgment for the value of the life I live than if I do the deed with a viable female? There is plenty of things I desire to do, and while I might imagine someday having kids by some means, if I don't that should be fine.

Ah, see, the articles I read said that the system was unable to use more than one, but now a quick search shows Iwatas statement that it's not the focus to have more controllers. Only slightly related, but that bothers me is that people excuse it because it would be too much to ask to have multiple streaming videos going. We were already doing this on the GCN.

I think that some of it is because of the strange things that Nintendo actually IS revealing that are making people get up in arms.  Things like only one of the screen controllers per Wii U.  Like, even if you did have multiple controllers, only one works with the system at a time.  At least, I know thats my main moment of disbelief.

Also, all things considered, making 3 minute videos is probably lower on the list of things that need doing than upkeep and actual game development.  Alternatively, it might be difficult to come up with good German Doctor jokes.

I do believe it's actually his voice, just raising higher naturally. One of his other videos back on Youtube he speaks for a brief moment, and it's mostly the same.

"Think for yourself, and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too."

It would suck if someone you knew decided to think you were an absolute moron. You go to tie your shoe, they chuckle softly and do it for you. They talk down to you, explain everything slowly, and see you as nothing but a child. Would you ever want to be aroind them any more? You no doubt think of youself as an intelligent person, but you're seen as some helpless fool.
