Wii Man by TheRevengeOfBayouWilly	Oct 14th, 2006 09:24:53 PM
I don't know, newfangled controllers, to me, never seem to manage to beat the good ole plus-symbol-with-buttons...
well shit.... by Datascream	Oct 14th, 2006 11:30:32 PM
the new Final Fantasy looks pretty sweet. No love for us 360 owners tho :(
Is "Chabert" pronounced like "Colbert"...? by ScienceMan	Oct 14th, 2006 11:55:01 PM
...or does it rhyme with "gay bert"...? Also, I had a dirty crush on her underage cuteness eight or so years ago when she was on the episode of Friends called "The one where Joey stars in a Lost In Space remake."
TheRevengeOfBayou... by ScienceMan	Oct 15th, 2006 12:01:04 AM
I am of a certain age, and age old enough to have been playing videogames since Pong was new. I remember there were lines around the block to play it at the one place in the state of Northern California that had it, a college bar in my hometown. It had a paddle for a controller. A few years later the Joystick was introduced as the controller - it was revolutionary. I vividly recall first handling a plus-sign-symbol-with-buttons (as you so accurately describe today's console controls). It seemed new and strange. Today I am a PC game nazi and would not deign to play a console game. I can only use a mouse or keyboard to play games. May the march of technology march ever forward under the shining wisdom of our Dear Leader Kim Jong-Il. My point is that the name "Wii" is gay.
forget her voice... by thebearovingian	Oct 15th, 2006 12:10:22 AM
she needs to lend her bare ass tits to the game. Aww, she's so cute...and yet probably such a wildcat in the bedroom. That girl grew up right!
"Imagine if Lucas had said by critch	Oct 15th, 2006 12:26:14 AM
"Imagine if Lucas had said you could pre-order tickets to Phantom Menace a month before it came out, then just show up on the day of and walk in to the theater." I don't know about you, but I bought my tickets for TPM about two to three weeks before the movie came out.
Final Fantasy... "Man and Wife?" by jollysleeve	Oct 15th, 2006 01:03:21 AM
They look more like brother and sister to me.
Final Fantasy 6 was the last great FF game by Exeter	Oct 15th, 2006 01:31:22 AM
and that was.... 12 fucking years ago. The only good one since then has been 9. 7 is the most overrated piece-of-shit tripe ever with its mind-fuck mess of a story (even though it tried to copy the plot/story/characters of ff6) and the beginning of the metrosexual emo stories while the series is slowly turning into CG movies. number-based RPGs are old hat, ancient non-innovation. Someone even downgraded FF12 to NES graphics (8-bit!) and the gameplay worked just the same, just shows you how truly the FF series has "evolved". The only thing PS3 has is the MGS series, and even there Kojima will ride less and less of Sony's cock, i hear snake will bbe oon super smash brawl, and all the MGS ports to Wii and 360 that're eventual.
Damn you Michael Bay by MCMLXXVI	Oct 15th, 2006 02:23:57 AM
Damn you Michael Bay
I would like to touch her in an inappropriate way. by Bob Cryptonight	Oct 15th, 2006 05:28:46 AM
Party of five inches in my PANTS!!!!
vikingkitty by vikingkitty	Oct 15th, 2006 06:54:19 AM
I left work about noon and stood in line roughly two hours to get my tickets to Phanton Menace, if I recall correctly. This was at least two weeks before the movie was released. An elderly woman a few places in line in front of me passed out from the heat.
FF, girly male characters and all, still rocks by B0BAFETTISH	Oct 15th, 2006 09:20:27 AM
People will most definitly be putting the PS3 on ebay for a thousand a piece....mebbie more. There is pretty much no reason to aquire it untill seccond quarter 07. Why? No games. Nothing spectacular at least. That being said, i cant WAIT for metal gear solid 4.
ScienceMan... by Darkman	Oct 15th, 2006 09:47:00 AM
It's pronounced 'shuh-bear'. And I knew she was a hottie as far back as NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE.
So you expect MGS4 to be ported to Wii, Exeter? by Johnno	Oct 15th, 2006 12:21:21 PM
Well, I can't wait to behold the 'masterpiece' that will be... And a cameo appearence in a Nintendo fighter game is a real sign of switching loyalty... Bit of fact, if there's one 'console' Kojima really wants to work on out of all these three, it's the PC, his own words... Also I heard Tetsuya Nomura wouldn't mind having Cloud in Smash Bros too... But no-one from Nintendo's called him to ask... I think they should get on that, and maybe call Bungie and ask for a cameo by Master Chief. That would rock! But as long as Sonic's in there then I'd be elighted...
Lacey Chabert in a video game? her career is growing! by Orionsangels	Oct 15th, 2006 12:44:54 PM
Look what it did for Kirk Cameron.
MGS wont be on anytihng else by pandamaster83	Oct 15th, 2006 12:51:33 PM
At least until a year after the PS3 version. There's not much point debating its quality: it's gonna be a good game. But there's also not much point in salivating until gameplay footage is revealed on top of the in-game graphics cutscenes. Kojima has the benefit of riding on reputation alone so that says a lot for him at least. Evidently, the same can be said for Bungie. MGS4 had better be a hell of a lot longer than the other 3 because the amount of time you actually spend controlling Snake/ Raiden in the three MGS games put together amounts to about fifteen hours.
Some points by richier123	Oct 15th, 2006 02:40:49 PM
FF7 is by far the best final fantasy that has ever been made, and I don't think any new ones are ever going to be it, though 13 does look promising. Also, Lacy Chabert is fucking gorgeous, and its pronounced 'Sha-Bear'. And I also bought phantom menace tickets early, about 2 weeks early.
The unlikeliness of MGS4 on any other system... by Johnno	Oct 15th, 2006 03:29:46 PM
For one it seems pretty 'solid' that this is Sony exclusive, unless you count on some re-release expansion coming out like Substance. However it's important to note that the port of MGS2 to Xbox was deemed slightly inferior even from a graphical standpoint despite the system being more powerful, and was later released for PS2 anyway. The expansion for MGS3, Subsistence, has not been released for Xbox. The only game released for Nintendo was the remake of MGS1, The Twin Snakes, which was outsourced to another company, Silicon Knights, and even then fans still prefer the original PSOne version. There has not been any other MGS related game for Gamecube. Wii is too graphically and computationally inferior to even think about porting MGS4 to, it ain't gonna happen... Unless again some spin-off happens which doesn't appear anywhere likely. There are even some barricades to expecting a port for the 360. (One) is that Kojima doesn't like ports and judging form MGS3's release, that's his policy from now on unless some other company does it. Kojima wants to create unique franchises for each system that'll make best use of the hardware. (Two) The Cell... this seems unconfirmed, but it's said that things like the Octocam suit are at this time only possible due to the Cell processor's unique archietecture, a point brought up in TGS 05's own MGS4 trailer. (Three)... Blu-Ray and the PS3's 1080p capability. Despite cutscenes being real time rendered and arguments about proper compression aside, it seems they're going to exceed the capacity of a DVD9. Subsistence itself was released on 2 discs, Kojima even saying that they couldn't pack in most of the extras onto it the first time around. Plus Kojima Productions, known for quality titles, intends to make MGS4 run in 1080p. And now, (Four) The PSP! There are plans for incorporating PSP functionality with MGS4 if they can. Sony is trying to develop interest in these two devices working together, Microsoft had shown some wifi type functionality between 360 and PSP before, but it seems limited only for pictures, video and mp3s. Kojima has loved to make use of things like the Rumble and reading from the memory Card and 4thWall-breaking stuff like that. This may spill out into peripheral usage that would be cool but not necessary for playing MGS4. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops for PSP, will be released this Winter, and is confirmed to work in japan with the GPS peripheral. In Subsistence, one could take photographs in the game and then if you had a PSP and a PS2 with the network/USB adapter, and Metal Gear Acid^2, import the pictures to your PSP and view them in 3D with the SolidEye. So we know that Kojima Productions has been experimenting with the PSP/PS2 connectivity. Now with concern to PS3, Kojima hopes to make it possible to control Otacon's MetalGear Mark II robot with the PSP! There may be other usages as well. And for additional info, IGN thinks that Kojima will make use of the Eyetoy, which brings us to point (Five) Metal Gear Online, a new version will be available for MGS4 due to the success of Subsistence's version. The eyetoy, IGN speculates, will allow you to scan your facial features and use it in the game, judging from a panel in which Kojima talked about using real people's face in the game at this years TGS. We know this is possible right now, becuase Rainbow Six: Vegas does the same thing for Multiplayer using Xbox 360's eyetoy device. Lastly, Kojima most likely intends to keep MGO running free as it did on PS2 on PS3's own online network that will have free online gameplay, unlike 360's Live (though possibly better) Gold service that charges a modest annual fee.
^ Same thing but paragraphed. We can do that now! :) by Johnno	Oct 15th, 2006 03:36:26 PM

If her career isn't growing, I know something that is. by brokentusk	Oct 15th, 2006 05:45:10 PM
She is officially smoking. Oh, and... um... games... and stuff...
Two things: by ZeroCorpse	Oct 15th, 2006 08:32:14 PM
1. For your DS, I highly recommend CLUBHOUSE GAMES. It's the best title thus far for on-the-go, pink-up-and-play gaming. 2. I bet Lacey Chabert's pussy tastes like honey suckled from the tits of Venus. 3. That last part was probably not necessary.
Uh... Three things, after all. by ZeroCorpse	Oct 15th, 2006 08:32:55 PM
I can count. I just can't predict where my crazy fingers will go.
The best thing about FF7 was that you could... by Doc_Strange	Oct 15th, 2006 09:16:03 PM
Name each of the individual characters, for instance, instead of "Barrett", I changed his name to "Nigga" which made for a lot of unintentional laughs, and was a bit racist but funny as hell. All in all the game was good but was not the best Final Fantasy in my mind. That honor still belongs to FF6 with Terra, Cyan, Sabin, and Shadow. Now that's a game that Square should make a sequel to and/or remake. FF8 is second because I liked Squall as the brooding leader, plus Quistis was a hot piece of Teacher ass.
Lacey - seriously by Itchy	Oct 16th, 2006 01:53:52 PM
Time is quickly running out on your career. You are turning into nothing but a cartoon voice lending itself to Nick cartoons and video games. If you want to realize your dreams of being a serious actress, you must act immediately. The only chance for salvation is to act in the screenplay that I've been writing in my head since you were on Party of Five. The one where you play a young teenage actress slowly coming to grips on your budding bisexuality when all the sudden one night, you are shown the path to mindblowing lesbian sex by Jennifer Love Hewitt in a dirty back lot trailer, sending you running for the adult film industry. Trust me - guaranteed Oscar, baby.
damn straight Doc by Exeter	Oct 16th, 2006 04:22:11 PM
FF6 is the apex of the series (7 was a shitty hollow clone w/ fancy CGI). BTW as much as i'd like to see further stories of Terra, Locke, Edgar, Sabin, Celes, i think it's best Square has left its neo-post-modernist-emo hands off it, look at what happened to FF7 spinoffs, atrociously shitty compilations to an already overrated game. Let's thank our lucky stars they haven't tarnished the memory of 6.
