General Chat / Canadian Mysteries

« on: February 13, 2010, 10:05:32 PM »

In this thread, we ponder the mysteries of Canada.

My questions are:



WTD do these signs mean?

And what's this First Nations jazz? Is that what Canadians call Indians?

Mario Chat / Is it time for Mario Party 9?

« on: January 15, 2010, 08:04:59 PM »

The Wii's been out for over three years and yet it still only has a single Mario Party game. With its motion controller and casual audience, it's arguably the best system for Mario Parties to be held on, but there still isn't even an announcement of another release.

I, for one, could go for some more partying. How about you?

Not at the Dinner Table / 360 versus PS3

« on: December 27, 2009, 10:40:57 PM »

I think people who get a PS3 without already owning a 360 are insane retards. This battle has raged across countless threads through history, but here I put it to the ultimate vote. Only one system will win. Vote today.

Video Game Chat / Why You JRPG-Lovers Suck

I realized this same conclusion a long time ago, and sometimes argue with Chupperson Weird about it, but check out this great piece about the problem with JRPGs:

Not at the Dinner Table / The Video That Changed My Life

« on: October 22, 2009, 08:05:49 PM »

After viewing this video, my life was irrevocably and distinctly changed. Things will never be the same. A single YouTube clip instantly changed how I will behave for the next 70 years of my life.

I personally think I was changed for the better. But knowledge is powerful. Some don't like it. Some hate it. If you enjoy the worldview you hold now and don't want to see your beliefs proven false, I understand why you won't click.

But if you're brave enough to change your life forever with one click,

Watch this.

Video Game Chat / The Platinum Problem

« on: July 14, 2009, 12:42:52 PM »

The Club Nintendo Elite Status Rewards have been announced. Golds simply get a desk calender, but Platinums have the task of choosing between two prizes: a standalone downloadable Punch-Out!! fight against Doc Louis or a wearable Mario hat.

Which do you think is the better choice?

This article goes a long way towards explaining why the Mario series definitely has no canon.

Also: Peach is officially a "glutton".

Video Game Chat / Gotta Play 'Em All

« on: May 11, 2009, 05:38:37 PM »

I have Red, FireRed, and Pearl.

I don't expect I'll ever get another Pokemon game because somewhere during Pearl I realized that Pokemon was an unholy amalgamation of nearly every aspect of gaming that I hate: glitches, hacking, using glitches/hacking to corrupt multiplayer environments, grinding, games that don't explain their math, sequelitis, piracy.

Video Game Chat / The Headset Conundrum

« on: April 27, 2009, 09:15:24 PM »

When I first attempted to use an Xbox 360 headset, I was faced with a problem. It was asymmetric and the mic rotated both ways. This meant I could cover either ear with the speaker but I didn't know which I was supposed to cover or wanted to cover. Probably thinking of my right-handedness, I eventually settled on leaving my right (dominant?) ear open to the game sounds and my left ear covered to hear sounds of bobman's death yelps.

Am I normal?

Video Game Chat / My Brute

« on: April 21, 2009, 12:30:26 AM »

Can you beat my brute?

When I get high enough level, I'll make a clan we can all join.

(I know I always link these kind of games and bail after getting people started, but this one is so low maintenance I should be around for awhile!)
