Classic feels sluggish and like he's always moving through tar.  Also, I had some trouble keeping track of where I was and what was Badnik, everything is in vibrant colors.  Modern is pretty good, and seems to have the old branching paths plan.

Where are you getting $400 price for a laptop that is remotely game-ready?

As for this thing, sorry, don't have much of an opinion. I don't play very many computer games, and it seems a bit over specialized.

So, I haven't really looked to much into it, but are all the different gun skins available by way of unlockable means? I know that they are the main thing you get from doing stuff in the earlier games, but are all the ones available that way?  Because I've seen people with a number of skins, and I know you can buy them, and I'll admit to not understanding one bit why someone would buy that.  What's 240GP, like $3 right? For something that took one of the art guys probably a couple hours to do.  Maps? Okay, sure, I might pay for something that actually has gameplay additions.  Not much, because I'm cheap and poor, but hypothetically, sure.  Of course, if it is all available though the gameplay, this just looks insane.

Also, I forgot how much I hate shotguns.  I can't hit jack.  Enemies are surgeons.  I am taking forever to get better. 

And Beast is so much fun.

I'm hearing an awful lot of "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas."

The only time I can think of it being an issue is, in the time between the 720p breaking and getting a 1080p, was during the dead space 2 demo. And it was unplayable. After getting the new T.V. I did actually manage to get through it. Was not crazy about it, if you were curious.

^ that, entirely. C'mon, Nintendo, people care enough about this that they'll buy the same game over and over if the balance is adjusted, it'll just be easier if you do patches so scrubs don't have to make up their own rules.

You don't have to prove it to me. Was the piece on Zelda good? Yeah, scan that in.

Just a moment ago during the Syracuse Rutgers game the band played the Dr. Robotnik theme from Sonic 2.

Oh. Yes. What a twist that will be. The person, Zelda, has been a princess for 25 years. Now they say she's not. No one believes them, and then they reveal she really was a princess. Truly. Shocking.

I thought Future cancelled Nintendo Power

Yeah, that's what I meant. Me not so gooder with the words-coming-out thingy.

I'm not personally a fan of games where I have to work to make it a challange. At least in the main game. Like, speed runs and stuff are their own thing, and that's fine. But if the enemies are just not strong or smart enough that you have to gimp yourself, that does come off as a flaw, no matter how much I enjoy the game.

Well I never had much of an issue facing against Meta-Knight, but my competitive play was rather early in the games life, so people likely found more for him. I hate the idea of banning a character, though, and he's not even one that I play.

Guys, I don't think you understand what perfect means. This list of things you would change, while small things, is growing rather large for Perfect

The Joystiq article goes one worse in calling him a hero for being the closest to a real life Batman.  It's just awful, and then people get ****y when a news outlet, Fox or otherwise, points a [darn]ing finger at games and those that play.  I got so angry at the comments, like this is something to strive for.  My jaw literally dropped; gaping at the new low for games to be reminded of, and absolutely unsure why so many people were behind this GROWN MAN for his gross action.

EDIT: Looking around, this may be a joke article BY joystiq.  God I hope so.

EDIT 2: Yeah, Joystiq made a editors note that it's satire, though it wasn't there this morning when I checked the first time, when it already had more comments in favor of it than I would prefer.

A guarentee that they will be aknowledged as the dogged nice guy and that they'll be rewarded for all their time and knowledge with a wonderfully submissive Asian/robot girl (who may also be a maid) will learn to love them in all the right ways, letting them work singlemindedly on their True Dream with nary a thought to any other responsibility.

Or advice on Cheeto-stain removal.
