I've been convinced it's not a scam, but for a company that works in the videogames industry, they certainly don't seem to know much about it. In the gaming systems section of the profile they list "Gameboy DS" and "Nintendo" as systems.

I'd say that Muramasa: The Demon Blade would make for a good anime. Not a particularly story heavy or thinky one, but lots of cool pretty sword fights to watch.

Yeah, this. Gathering items is like 5 or 10 minutes to stock up on potions and whetstones between quests to take down huge monsters, not the central aspect of the game that Yahtzee makes it out to be. Monster Hunter Tri's biggest problem really is the ridiculously slow start.

Last Exile. I'm not sure how obscure it is, but I've hardly ever seen people talking about it or referencing it.

I've got 2 lanyards full of pins from trips to Disney World, including an Indiana Jones set of 4 and a rather fetching golden Mickey and Minnie pair. I've also got a version of Mickey and Minnie that are only sold in Disney Land Paris that blew the cast members' minds. I never knew they were...

I've just read through 4 pages of this thread and my brain damn near exploded from the awesome. I'd forgotten how badass that Digimon opening was, but I think either Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Pinky and the Brain win it for me.

Nothing near the levels of geekdom achieved by others, but a few highlights of mine include: Playing Smash Bros. Brawl all night. Owning TWEWY, Bleach and Zelda t-shirts. Having a collection of hand-painted Lord of the Rings figures displayed in a special ornamental shelving unit. Before the...

I would say the Smash Bros. Brawl crew, but that seems a bit of a cop out. For an ordinary fight I'd bring Kirby along for the ride, he'd eat you, or failing that hit you with a massive hammer. For a fight on or near water I'd bring a level 19 Magikarp, on the verge of levelling up and holding...

WTF, why not on Wii? Why does Harmonix hate Wii owners so?

Whether they forget the name Nintendo or not is irrelevant. Do you really think casual Wii owners are really going to go out and buy another console? Chances are, it's not going to happen. Say what you like about Nintendo, but they've got the casual market, at least partially because they got...

Chrono Trigger in the DS Lite and Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition in the Wii. My GBA SP's at my cousin' house and hopefully still has Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga in. The Gamecube and N64 are in storage.

The point is entirely moot. The styles of play in the two series are so fundamentally different that any percieved difference in quality is most likely due to a preference for the gameplay style.

I just finished The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchet last night. I'm going to get started on Maskerade later today.

This. First generation is horribly unbalanced in favour of psychics, so an Alakazam would be your first port of call. I'm going to contradict somebody earlier and say NO elemental punches. Special attacks on a Hitmonchan is a no. You're probably good steering clear of bugs and ghosts too...

I demand recognition! I was defending this generation on page 2 dammit. There's not even a point to this thread really. One of two things can happen to people who play Pokemon. Either they get bored of it and only the first generation they played is good and everything after is attacked for no...
