Here's where a guy shot a bullet and five miles later it came down through a woman's RV roof, went through her arm, and lodged into a wall.

WILL YOU BE NEXT

Video marriage won't be legal until 2188.

Why does the princess have a mustache?

Why is the girl singing lower notes than the dude? (Well, I guess Mario does have a pretty high pitched voice.)

Yes, and I knew it would because it was the same lag that happens with HDMI audio on my TV, from any source. I've never had a problem with HDMI video though, so if you're missing jumps that sounds like more a video issue.

My favorite lag-testing Wii game is BIT.TRIP CORE. The NSMBU title screen is also surprisingly useful, where all four characters perform a grand buttstomp precisely on the final note of the song's intro.

Sweet, I had totally forgotten this got an English translation. Insta-bought. I don't care how bad it is; I just need to own it.

Luigison, you directly made my life better today.

I didn't rage because it's refreshing to see a true villain acting his part for once. Usually killers do the deed and then just suicide or sit silently in court/jail for the rest of their lives. If you're going to forfeit the rest of your free life to do a shooting, why throw away your chances at follow-up psychological attacks? If you've murdered multiple people, your behavior in court isn't going to save you.

In that article one of the parents calls him a coward. There are many, many epithets that would properly apply to this dude, but coward ain't one of them.

HDMI video is lag-free on my TV but the audio gets offset a bit. Since this is murder to my rhythm-loving lifestyle I use RCA cable audio with HDMI video on 360 and PS3. The Wii U doesn't let you split it up like this (yet???) so I begrudgingly use component video (which still supports HD so whatevs).

I owe RE6 a bit of an apology. It doesn't say its name on the standard title screen but it does do it for the title card that comes up after you beat the opening scene. All is not lost.

My current favorite title screen is in BIT.TRIP Presents Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, where Charles Martinet himself enthusiastically screams the full 10-word title each time AND it's unskippable. The ability to press Start (or any button) doesn't activate until the full title is screamed.
