but I think that the silent majority is taking a stand against the weeaboos.
just curious define weeaboos
It's like Japanophile, or Wapanese.
i know that much but define the extent of it since only those extreme cases of it annoy me
for example does saying prefering anime and manga&music over western series,comics and music make you (in your opinion) a weeaboo?
if your awnser is yes IMO that's not a weeaboo

I hate what they did to the Devil May Cry series so for me it's over ... Perhaps watch some reviews when it comes out but I doubt they will change my mind...
It seems this is what happens when people complain too much...I don't think it's even because of the 4th games financial success since they sold 2.2 million copies in the first weeks...It was all because of the flame about Nero being soo baad ... well here's Dante back for you ... I'm wondering how much people regret there comments now ... I mean come on, half of the game you played as Dante - you can't even say you missed him so much and want him back ...

Oh well, I'm saving my money for Castlevania because it looks awesome and hopefully is a great game. (The only thing I am worried about are control issues )

The way I see it, you are a weeaboo if you prefer the Japanese culture over your own. If you prefer the music, the comics, the food, the clothes, or any of that, that's fine, I don't mind. But do not bother me about it and don't announce it to the Internet.

If you listen to the music, read their comics, or that sort of thing more than you do our own, you are a weeaboo. That's my definition, feel free to disagree.

No, don't kill the Unskippable desk with THAT MUCH game footage!

Anyway, this video mentioned the changes to Nier. Nier was always the same design, it wasn't localized for the west... another more anime teen style was in Japan along with the original. If anything it's Japan that localized it despite being their own creation.

A few things: Goddammit Nintendo, I already own all starts. I don't want to buy it again.
Deadrising 2 is going to ruin my life, but if what is said about Yakuza is true, sounds awesome!
And three: I also find Reach incredibly hard, taking an hour and a half or so per level.

"I mean just look at the character for the new Castlevania. Does he look like a girl?"
"-No."
"My point exactly".

Rolling on the floor laughing. No joke.

Okay, that was funny. "That makes it worse!" :gun to head:

And I'm sure I'm not the only one who kept looping 0:23 to make Kathleen say "Bzz" over and over again. Right?

...then, y'know... don't.

Pretty sure it's not mandatory.

Article 17, Section 3 of the Fanboy Code of Conduct: "All fanboys MUST buy any and all game consoles, games, proliferies, remakes, reiterations, re-releases, series reboots, squeals, and prequeals released by Nintendo."

I guess you have to. It's the law.

I lol'd at quickbender's voice being cut off while he explains how Halo: Reach on legendary kicked his ass :p

Matt's reaction face to the blob was probably the best part of the episode.
I also really like "Does this look like a girl to you?" Me and Jeremy: "No?" "Exactly." Good one guys!
One question though: Why buttons?

The question is, what changes (if any) will be made to female characters on a West-washed game?
Smaller boobies?

OT: Wow, i hadn't heard about that Mario thing... I usualy get behind what Nintendo says, but... wow.

Good ole Paul... he's not in ENN enough these days.
I loved the episode- especially the "I'M OFFENDED" from the amorphous blob of green goo :p

Jeremy's look of utter confusion is brilliant!

My message was poorly conveyed. I meant that as a form of criticism so as to inspire some new work.

Was anyone associated actually in Cambridge?
I presume not, given that Jer claims to be lots of places in ENN, and if he were actually everywhere he claimed, you guys would be broke from plane expenses, but maybe Cameron actually was at Harvard?

Also, Graham's head appears to jump as he says "What?" to Kathleen in the credits roll. Is this MPEG v4 failing at motion detection, or some sneaky editing?
