I think that King of Fighters Maximum Impact (2) does a better job of fulfilling the promise of entry level fighter. I agree with you in principle, but somehow Soul Calibur just pisses me off.

Soul Calibur stopped being a respectable fighting game starting with 2. It's a game for people who can't play Tekken.

It's been a hell of a long time, IL. Way to go.

Well, there's your tournament. It's a 12 person race on Mario Circuit (you vs 11 CPU), with a little twist added to the track. Goal is to post your fastest time, and then submit it to WFC.

T'ain't nay tournaments ta speak of, yae. Are the tournaments all just Nintendo-ran (and only every once in a while)? Yup.

You can use a flash drive of MP3's, but you cannot move them to the HD. The only legit way to get music on the HD is to rip from an audio CD.

Hey, speaking of Anime/Manga, is anyone here planning on attending Fanime 2008, in San Jose? Fanime Web Site

Yeah, it was alright, but Bosch again? Blah. I don't recall him ever doing psychotic, though, so I wonder how well he can pull that off. Bosch can do no wrong by me. He was the sole highlight of a generally piss-poor AX 2007.

BRILLIANT IDEA: Game lets you send messages to people registered as Wii Friends to add you as a Mario Kart Friend. The message auto-includes your Friend Code.

Reminder: ADD YOUR MARIO KART WII CODES! Mine is 1934-1070-1744.

Be sure to post your Mario Kart Friend codes in the Wii Numbers thread.

Do you play anything on XBLA? I wonder if you'd like Catan, or Carcassone, or Ikaruga, or stuff like that.

Do you feel like you're burned out on gaming in general? Or just nothing you want to play? If you don't like the 360 controlle, but you like FPS, why not game on a PC?

Allow me to answer this for you: Most, if not all fighting games, support the Classic and Gamecube Controllers (Guilty Gear, DBZ, Mortal Kombat). The Wii Remote and Nunchuck just don't work for a lot of games (attacks in MK are mapped to the d-pad... how in the heck... and Guilty Gear has terrible controls because you're SUPPOSED to play with a traditional controller)

Couldn't agree more with the sentiment. My mom can play - and excel - in Wii Sports. It's nice to have her included. But do you personally feel that your gaming needs are met by the Wii? As for me, Smash is great since they fixed the online last week, and there are enough hardcore titles to keep me going. *BUT* I find that most of my gaming time is spent on the 360. I got the 360 version of GH3 instead of the Wii version because of the promise of DLC. I'll most always get the 360 version of a multiplatform game (exceptions: I'd get the Wii versions of Bully and Godfather if I were to get them). IF I didn't own a 360, I'd still game a lot on the Wii. I'm just saying that I own both, and where my time goes.

God, why did Card Fighters DS have to suck. I originally got a DS just to play that; but then I discovered all kinds of great games. And then Card Fighters DS comes out and sucks. Ah well.

My troubles were fixed recently; it was a Nintendo issue, and I don't have the issue any more. Have you tried playing recently? And can you play with Friends otherwise?

I will admit that Victorious Boxers is somewhat fun, and is probably great two player, but if you're a fan of the manga series it's based off of, and you play story mode, you won't be happy Never read a manga in my life, so I'll check it out. Thanks. The Spectrum has every chapter of Hajime No Ippo (manga in question) ever written. We're on chapter 809, and each chapter is about 15 pages. Have fun with that. Alternatively, you can watch the anime of it, which, combined with the two movies they did, takes you to about halfway through the series. Anime is 75 eps long. (Anime is called Fighting Spirit in America)

WAI HELO THAR

H'm. Loving someone who did nothing but treated me well, coddled me, pampered me, and taught me joy is "pretty fucked up?" All right. In that case I admit that I am "pretty fucked up." Do you have anything more important to say? I'm not asking anyone to NOT judge me. You can all judge me however you please. But the FACT of the matter is that I am not and never have been a "whore," that the lady who took my virginity did not need her money to buy my body because I went to her willingly, and that I was not taken advantage of, abused, or otherwise mistreated in any way. Is that really so difficult to accept? Eh. Whatever you say.

Of course, the pertinent point is that you weren't there. The pertinent point is that the things you are writing are completely ridiculous, and based off of expectations and nostalgia that have no basis in reality. And before you say "You can't judge me, you weren't there," remember, the point is that we (By "we", I mean everyone who is not you, and that it is implicit that I am making the assumption that I speak for people who are not you) are arguing that the feelings you have, or claim to have, are, in general, pretty fucked up.

"I mean I'm not arguing some great societal or political or ideological principles here... I'm just saying what happened *to* *me.* And then people tell me I'm wrong. And I should feel demeaned." Actually, I'm pretty sure this is PRECISELY what we are doing at this point. Because we're pretty sure you are wrong.

If you mean the running stone thing that was also on fire, I changed that to my current avatar months ago. I don't generally venture out of the VG boards. I love it. Custom art done for me, and put on a button; I got to keep the digital original. It's basically a picture of me, and the text nearby says "You're a scrub," wherein "Scrub" is a shot at people who whine about not being good at fighting games (or any games, or actually, anything) because of made up rules in their head. I wear the button at arcades. I wanna get a T-Shirt made that says "The guy playing against me sucks." on the back.

I don't know who you are and I don't really care enough to expend much effort in trying to find out. So you might as well tell me. I don't know how that equates to me not being real, but the fact that you think that because you do not know me, I am not real, bewilders me. Okay, back to the hilarity.
