I'm not sure what you're implying with that...

Seriously?

And yeah, lost to bug-out-eyes guy.

Why can't I find a collection of bug-eye pics? Oh well.

Move over Epic Mickey, here comes epic Ricky:

I don't know, the 3D graphics everywhere is giving me bad feelings. It's like what's being done to Sonic the Hedgehog 4, it just doesn't -look- right. If they can make Mega Man 9 look like an NES game, it shouldn't be that difficult to make DKC4 look like a SNES game. Bump up the resolution if necessary, but... come on, make it look a LITTLE more photorealistic than what we're getting!

The game better be hard... um, Donkey Kong Country 2 hard, at the most. And it better be long, at least... 6 or 8 areas. And good music. And I'd really prefer seeing our familiar riding buddies like Enguarde (bonus points for a playable Squawks like in DKC2). Only then will I consider it a worthy successor.

More bonus points if the first enemy is a beaver or furry rat. Nostalgia, y'know. I have a soft spot for the opening enemies of games. Mario has goombas, Yoshi has Shy Guys, DKC has beavers, Mana series has Rabites, Zelda has... uh... Tektites?

Ruto in 3D. That is all.

Actually, while I'm impressed that they're giving it a graphical makeover (Epona's looking pretty good), it just doesn't seem right to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time on what I imagine to be a small screen. And for an involved game like Zelda, it's not exactly pick-up-and-play. Even though you can Save anywhere and I think the items/weapons you find stay with you, just that you return to the beginning of whatever area you're in. I'd still feel better playing it on a big screen, but that's me.

And Star Fox 64 3D... well, it's nice it will get a graphical makeover, but it's still by and large an easy game. Unless you're going for the medals, perhaps. I say remake Star Fox SNES. Keep the levels and god-awful rotating pillars, but update the graphics so I don't get seizures when I play it.

SmileSpider is the only smile-related picture which isn't freaky.

Fixed that for you.

And yeah, looks like Francis Bacon could teach a thing or two to the Silent Hill guys.

That's all you need to be successful on Youtube.

Here's proof. And here's what's being mimicked.

Attach a webcam to it (so it shows just your face), claim it has facial recognition and other features that don't work, demonstrate it not working, then upload to YouTube.

Take a pic of it with you doing the thumbs up, photoshop (nyah Adobe, used it as a verb) something cool on the screen, then put a caption claiming you have the coolest computer ever.

Pretend you're the King of Town or Strong Bad answering e-mails on a broken computer. Upload to YouTube. The few of us that are Homestar Runner fans will love you for it.

Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (the game) in 30 seconds. Warning for blood. Incidentally it's also my new favorite YouTube video.

Except for people who decide to edit a recent post (I don't remember anymore whether a post becomes uneditable an hour after posting or when a new post occurs in the thread. Don't know if you can leave the Edit window open indefinitely and then end up editing the post hours afterward. I say that because I sometimes spend hours on posts).

Disabling font color I don't mind, it's not something I use and the less HTML-like behavior in posts the better (except images and links, gotta love 'em). Not being able to change the theme... well, in most cases I think changing the theme's something you do upon becoming a new member to a forum. I'm so used to the dark theme that I don't mind if I keep it forever. Too bad new members won't be able to change the theme though. What does mildly bother me is a complete inability to see avatars due to the dark theme (or maybe due to having been around long enough that maybe perchance the new dark theme has avatars but it glitched somehow).

EDIT: Got me an avatar. Oh hai sudden-avatar-next-to-login-status. Oh hai time-offset-meaning-difference-to-forum-time-instead-of-time-zone. So all this time I should have had time offset at -1.16 instead of -8. That makes so much sense.

Gear? Seriously? Why not have a rolling chair with eyes? Or a mop?

Wow, just noticed for the Pokemon Black Japanese cover that the text is covering the lower half of Reshiram. Coincidence or intentional? ...or maybe because that's where the title goes anyway.

It was such a shame when we did see some footage of Duke Nukem Forever after it was cancelled, because it actually looked interesting. Stuff I hadn't really seen before (but then, I haven't played the earlier games in the series, so I don't know if Duke flipped off his enemies in the past).

Anyway, maybe it's Freeman Sports, showing us that sports can be fun without having Mario in them. With the SMOD mod thrown in for good measure.

...or do what some Japanese companies do with JRPGs and make international editions

I had to look up "International version" on Wikipedia, because I remember there was a Final Fantasy X International edition. I guess it makes sense, release the game in its home territory with all the upgrades featured in foreign releases... but wouldn't it just be easier to call it the "Ultra edition" or "Holy Schnikey edition"?

See, when I hear "international edition", I think it should be the ultimate version of the game released in ALL countries (or at least everybody that got a release of the game before), not just Japan. Frickin' Japan getting all the good stuff, as usual.
