I gotta have this stuff!!!
Bubo, Rancor, Falcon... by kikuchiyoboy	Nov 22nd, 2006 11:19:03 PM
Throw in Medusa's head in a cloth sack and Bob from The Black Hole and those would be geek heaven for a lifetime. Man I need a better paying job.
"Play damn near any Marvel character" by Shermdawg	Nov 22nd, 2006 11:35:12 PM
For the last time, there's only 34 playable characters, and nine of those are alternate costumes. (360 version)
I'm still pissed that Legend... by WONKABAR	Nov 23rd, 2006 12:06:17 AM
didn't win the Oscar for best Make-up '86. That bust is the shit! Oh, and there's just no excuse not to get a 360 baby!
ps3 by FakePlasticGuava	Nov 23rd, 2006 12:09:59 AM
is overpriced, but costs $500 for the 20GB and $600 for the 60GB. and oh yeah, i'm ten hours into zelda and it is glorious
LEGO... by beelkay	Nov 23rd, 2006 01:16:16 AM
I loved the LEGO Star Wars games, and I was thinking it would be great if they made a whole line of LEGO games like that. LEGO X-Men comes to mind right away.
Dear Santa by Imzadi	Nov 23rd, 2006 01:19:27 AM
I want Bubo!
Wii and PS3 quantities by chimcham3000	Nov 23rd, 2006 01:55:09 AM
By the time christmas rolls around the Wii will have at least 2 million units floating around the U.S. and the PS3 is shooting for 1 million with an original estimate of 400,000. the Wii will most certainly rule this holiday season and will be much easier to find with some perserverance. the PS3 isnt going to be very attainable for awhile and really i wonder if the Wii wont have created an entirely new market by then or at least modified the current one significantly. i just dont see anyone i know spending $600 for a video game system (and the blue ray argument doesnt cut it for me - most people dont have HD sets). we wont see the PS3's potential for a couple years anyhow and on a short term level i think this will most certainly hurt Sony. Not to mention that the PS3 is costing Sony around $800 per unit when they are selling for either 500 or 600. Each Wii sold supposedly creates profit for Nintendo. i cant wait to play zelda, but i'm waiting a few months when i can get it used. i'm just going to have fun renting many different titles for awhile.
Coked-up Carrie and robot machine gun sentries... by Zardoz	Nov 23rd, 2006 01:56:58 AM
I know what I want under my X-Mas tree this year! (Hey girls, do cocaine and you too can look like Princess Leia in her gold bikini!) I love the "Pirates" score for the sentry gun; do you think Disney's gonna send 'em a cease and desist order? Or will they be too scared to do it? Lots of great toys! Man, it's a good time to be a geek, but ya gotta be a wealthy geek, too!
Bookends by Franklin T Marmoset	Nov 23rd, 2006 02:20:32 AM
I like those bookends very much. These are very much in keeping with Mr Lucas's desire to derail the Star Wars money train. I like to imagine him holding them up to the light, one in each hand, and saying to himself: 'If this doesn't piss them off, nothing will!' Do George Lucas a favour this christmas - do not buy any Star Wars products. Set him free.
She did speedballs with John Belushi by half vader	Nov 23rd, 2006 03:29:57 AM
Which is how she managed to be completely unsexy in that outfit. At least the sculpture gives her some curves and she doesn't look like she's sucking lemons. She looks off her head through half of Empire, but I think she'd calmed down a bit by Jedi. Can't remember exactly - read her book. Pantera, it's not exactly a secret, even with her. I hope you're young, dude.
Quint - PS3 launch graphics not much better than 360 by half vader	Nov 23rd, 2006 03:33:09 AM
graphics when the 360's been out for a year longer? What a surprise! A bit apples and oranges, mate.
Carrie got told off on the set of Star Wars for always by Jugs	Nov 23rd, 2006 03:36:38 AM
being someplace else, instead of on set, with a mirror and razor blade.
Original Planet of the Apes by PAC-MAN	Nov 23rd, 2006 03:38:01 AM
very cool planet of the apes stuff at apemania.com
Superman Returns game.... by damagedinc	Nov 23rd, 2006 04:07:04 AM
....is friggidy overrated. I was pumped to buy it and it's a mess.
I want it all! by Boba Fat	Nov 23rd, 2006 05:06:14 AM
Parts 1, 2 and 3 but I'd settle for world peace this Christmas...and the machine gun sentry. Glad you liked the Charlie Brown Xmas tree Quint
If you have $$ left after you pay rent to your mom by Milton Waddams	Nov 23rd, 2006 07:09:42 AM
Then maybe again your mom doesn't make you pay rent.
Haha by pandamaster83	Nov 23rd, 2006 07:11:30 AM
"Wii is affordable... if you can afford it." That millenium falcon looks so cool.
Falcon by half vader	Nov 23rd, 2006 07:24:32 AM
I was at San Diego slobbering over it (figuratively speaking of course) and looked up to see Lorne Petersen himself critiquing it!
Milton Waddams by Boba Fat	Nov 23rd, 2006 07:35:11 AM
You talking to me?
Carrie Fisher coke nail by copernicus	Nov 23rd, 2006 09:39:29 AM
She didn't need a mirror and a razor blade. In Jedi, when Leia is hugging luke after he comes back from Dagobah, you can see her monster pinky coke nail.
I have a Wii... by DanielKurland	Nov 23rd, 2006 10:12:45 AM
and Zelda has been a blast. Just thought I'd throw my two cents in.
You ought to add in a PSP and Metal Gear Solid: PortOps by Johnno	Nov 23rd, 2006 11:51:17 AM
Those are gona be a blast! YOu can get PSP for $250 new or $200 or less pre owned, game will probably be around $40, but this one is gonna make good use of it! I'm currently playing Daxter on PSP right now and damn! It's hard to believe I can do all that on a handheld! And as for new DS games to look forward to, I'd think Lunar Knights...
^ BTW those prices I quoted are most likely Canadian by Johnno	Nov 23rd, 2006 11:53:05 AM
No time to research what that is in US currency, but the numerical value is lower...
You WoW players...you know who you are... by Shermdawg	Nov 23rd, 2006 01:26:50 PM
I hope you enjoy downloading that patch. I've been at it since around 11:30 last night. Yes, 15 fucking hours! And I'm only 85% done. >_
This site needs some GAMERS to write up GAMES by CarmillaVonDoom	Nov 23rd, 2006 02:56:29 PM
Seriously, I love, love, love almost all the reviewers on this site, but when it comes to games it is nearly always "I haven't played this yet..." or "I heard this was...." The leaps forward in gaming in this and the coming 2-4 years need serious intelligent commentary! imo. ;^)
Yeah I think I'll buy Zelda on the Cube. by Orionsangels	Nov 24th, 2006 01:45:21 AM
It'll be the last Gamecube game I ever buy. It's going to be a sad but happy day. It's ironic too. I mainly bought the Cube based on the notion that I'd be playing that Zelda game we saw at Spaceworld in 2000. Well here we are at the end of the Cube's life span and Nintendo finally delivers. Better late than never and no annoying Wiimote controller. If I wanted to point at stuff I'd buy a lazer pointer, lol. I'll use my trusty Wavebird controller thank you very much! Nothing beats a good ol' gamepad. Oh how I love thee Wavebird. The adventures we had together and now we shall soon have our last adventure together.
AICN needs to hire me for their game staff! by Orionsangels	Nov 24th, 2006 01:47:18 AM
No relocation either. I work from home and AICN pays me through the mail. Aw thanks. I'm more than qualified. I've been gaming since 77. What are you guys waiting for?
Nintendo could have made the Wiimote for the Gamecube by Orionsangels	Nov 24th, 2006 01:50:10 AM
Saved themselves a buttload a money. Instead of dressing the cube up in new clothes and calling it the Wii. Next-gen? Not exactly. More like current gen continued with a fancy controller. If I wanted to point at stuff I'd use a laser pointer, lol! Yeah I think I'll stick with my trusty gamepad.
I played the Superman Returns demo on Xbox live by Orionsangels	Nov 24th, 2006 01:57:30 AM
It appears that finally they got flying down in a Superman Video Game. It's ease to controller. It's fun and I love the sonic booms. But the gameplay on the other hand seems uninspired. You wait for danger to occur and follow the green blips through out the city. Fight baddies and the occasional boss. Haven't played the full version. Their might be more to do. Judging by this demo it's easily the best Superman video game ever made. But that's not saying much considering how bad previous enteries were.
Bubo kicks ass! www.Ilovebubo.com by Orionsangels	Nov 24th, 2006 02:03:56 AM
Yeah you know you thought the link was real and tried it out. You love the Bubo. Admit it.
wtf harry? by Garetjax	Nov 24th, 2006 10:51:18 AM
thought this site was al for innovation, cot comercalism?
Not joking at all AlgertMopper by Johnno	Nov 25th, 2006 03:30:16 PM
Some excellent games, with mroe coming down the tube like MGS and Silent Hill, I use it all the time as an MP3 player, including video, and it's got PS3 connectivity and soon the ability to officially emulate PS1 games??? That's fucking awesome! What's this joke you refer to? The price?
^ Or perhaps you refer to UMD movies...? by Johnno	Nov 25th, 2006 03:31:51 PM
In which case that particular failure still boiled down to... the price...
"PS3 connectivity" for PSP by Shigeru	Nov 27th, 2006 08:59:58 AM
Enjoy your $250 rear-view mirror.
How about Sideshow's King Kong armature replica? by NNNOOO!!!	Nov 28th, 2006 05:35:15 AM
$500 but it looks amazing. P.S. I've always thought Carrie Fisher's 'Empire' snowsuit was the sexier costume.
