It sounds like it would be very tiring. I really don't understand this trend of making games that require more physical activity. I don't know about anyone else, but when I play a video game, I just want to sit on the couch and take it easy. No running, jumping, or waving your arms around and getting carpal-tunnel. But rather, just chill and push buttons.

Yeah, you don't know about anyone else. Or about carpal tunnel.

You get carpal tunnel from typing with your wrist all bendy-uppy.

But you just KNOW the game's gonna suck. I'll bet anyone a million points.

I'm not saying it's going to be bad (in fact, the idea is pretty cool)! I'm just saying that... the write-up comes across as kind of embarassing. I mean, it's raving about controlling Spider-Man's feet.

I hope they don't add a smell function to that feet-control mechanism.

Vampire novels. I don't know how they got so popular, but I can't stand them. There always has to be all these sexual overtones and emo-y shirtless guys. Besides, vampires are really generic and uninspired when compared to most latter-day monsters. Ditto werewolves.

Can you give an example of said "latter-day monsters"?
I don't enjoy most new vampire media aside from Castlevania and Vampire Hunter D, but you can't tell me that Dracula isn't a great book.

Glorb · « **Reply #262 on:** September 07, 2008, 12:46:39 AM »

Ho ho. Sexual, yes, overtones, no. Bring me a vampire/romance book made after, oh, 1999 that doesn't involve having sex with a vampire to gain his powers or whatever, and I'll say you're lying.

I know this because a friend of mines likes these books. Every time I see her, she's reading a different one. Who writes these things??

Oh, and werewolves rule. Don't diss werewolves.

I dunno, but I saw someone reading Breaking Dawn on a plane, and I have to say, it contained some of the outright worst dialogue I've seen in recent memory.

I don't know... original stuff, I guess. Cthulu, It... Pokemon, even. I mean, I'm not dissing Dracula--that book was fresh stuff when it first came out. But now, vampire books are a dime a dozen and I can't understand their popularity.

Of course, on the other hand, there could be much knowledge gained from them. (Language warning)

I don't like Mii's because you can't actually put a picture of yourself or anyone you hate so you can put them in death matches!

If the Hadron Collider doesn't end the world, this will.

Just like Mario Paint and MOTHER 3. But with more dog suits.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #268 on:** September 10, 2008, 06:07:41 PM »

Mother 3?

Sounds like a Goron!
