BUTT

Don't forget Castlevania: Bloodlines. I would guess that Konami releasing a modified port of Turtles in Time was less due to hardware limitations and more due to trying to trick buyers into thinking it was a different game.

Are you familiar with FL Studio? It's the best of its kind that is free.

Didn't Milky say once that he voted for Bush? Soooo Dave, what are your thoughts on the works of Jim Steinman?

Apparently there is also a new Metroid Prime 3 preview channel that you can download in Wii Ware.

No, it's three.

Are newer models of the 360 better protected against the red ring deal? And if so, how would I be able to tell if the version I am buying is one of the safe versions?

That's a really good one. Me fucking the 13 year old and all that came from that was pretty bad. But I will try to give you an original one. You should go into detail about this, especially with regards to the "all that came from that". Are you a registered sex offender, Milky?

I love that indignant Kotaku post: "What gives, Nintendo? Freeloaders have been around for years, legally, and have been of great comfort to both importers of Japanese titles and PAL users fucked over by a dawdling release schedule. If this breakage was accidental, fix it. If it was not accidental, this is not cool. Fix it." Yeah, fixing an unlicensed product that Nintendo surely would rather didn't exist. I'm sure they'll get right on that.

I wish I had gone to the Van Hagar reunion tour of '04. I think I will miss this one.

It's Terry Bozzio. He was in Missing Persons. I'm sure he doesn't view Korn as a huge step down. I mean Steve Vai played with Zappa, and he joined Whitesnake. Just because you happened to at one time be a sideman for a critically acclaimed artist doesn't mean you have a free pass to ride that wave for the rest of your life. You have to pay the bills somehow.

Actually, Czech, that was a subliminal_animal quote. I'm very disappointed at the lack of attention paid to this thread. Didn't this folder get like two pages out of the most recent Linkin Park thread?

Oh my god if this leads to a WWE appearance by Maury Povich I will become WWE's biggest fan ever.

I vowed here to one day make this thread. It did take a while for me to make that thread, but that time is now and that time is also me! (Bonus points to whoever can identify TSM poster who was the original source of that quote.) Anyway, we are here to discuss the works of this man: Sure, Jim Steinman is mostly known for his work with Meat Loaf: Bat Out of Hell Paradise by the Dashboard Light , although Meat Loaf was not the first person to record this (more on that later), but this video features an 18-year-old Angelina Jolie. She looked better then than she does now. but oh there is so much more! For example, these hits: Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart Air Supply - Making Love out of Nothing At All Celine Dion - It's All Coming back to Me Now And how about "Original Sin", the theme from 1994's Alec Baldwin flop, The Shadow? But Jim hasn't left all of his works in the hands of other artists. Why, he recorded his own solo album in 1981: The album's title track, "Bad For Good" Dramatic monologue "Love and Death and an American Guitar" "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" ripoff "Dance In My Pants" And Jim's only top 40 "solo" hit, "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through", which he actually doesn't sing lead on, but he does lipsynch in the video. Hmmm. I guess he isn't very active these days other than plotting some sort of Bat Out of Hell musical. Bat 3, released last year without any input from Jim but featuring several of his songs, didn't exactly set the world on fire, but it had some good stuff. Like for instance, this song, "Seize the Night", which is inexplicably set to several clips from NBC's Heroes. But listen to the song, will ya? It is good stuff in my humble opinion. Anyway, Jim Steinman: Great songwriter, great dude. Here's his blog: http://jimsteinman.blogspot.com I'd like your thoughts on this wonderful man, Smart Marks.

92. No Saturn football game during the '95 holiday season. Sega had a lot of success with NFL games on the Genesis, first with Joe Montana, then Deion Sanders. So you would assume they would have followed this up with a football game of their own for their new system during its first holiday season in the U.S. But Sega saw no need to do this, ostensibly because there were two NFL games coming for Saturn that year: EA's Madden, the biggest football franchise in video games, and Acclaim's less-regarded NFL Quarterback Club. Surely they would pick up the slack for Sega! Oh shit, wait. EA decided that the Saturn and Playstation versions of Madden '96 weren't good enough and didn't release them. Then, Acclaim pushed NFL QBC into early '96. So Sega had no football game for current and prospective Saturn owners. Well actually, that isn't entirely accurate. There was one football game available for Saturn: QUARTERBACK ATTACK! The FMV football game! For those looking to see a little bit of Night Trap/Sewer Shark/Double Switch injected into their gridiron action! Sony had their own football game, NFL Gameday. It sold pretty well. I'm not going to say that the lack of a good football game was THE thing that killed Sega that holiday season. I'd definitely say it hurt them bad.

Oh man, I just thought of another one: 90. Long before Nintendo and the N64 made launching with two games fashionable, Sega had two launch titles ready for the Mega Drive's October 1988 Japan launch: Super Thunder Blade, a port of a Master System game released a scant three months earlier, and Space Harrier 2, a more-of-the-same sequel featuring the choppiest scaling you will ever see. No wonder that system was such a flop in Japan. I think the Japanese launch of the Saturn only had like two games, but one of them was Virtua Fighter and that sold a lot in Japan so I won't criticize them too much for that.

Shut the fuck up.

How dare he be upset about the numerous injuries he has acquired working for them that he has to pay for himself. That's not HONORABLE!

Apparently Donkey Kong 64 is rumored to be getting a DS port soon. Meh to that. I'd rather have a Donkey Kong Country 4. Because that series ruled. I don't care what the new wave of gaming journalists determined to discredit that series say. No, if your opinion is that DKC was a bad game, your opinion is WRONG.

I think this might have been the time when he had the idea of turning Rock gay. All I remember for sure is he was put in the writing team and his ideas were considered so out of touch that he was removed and made a 'consultant' and sent home/quit all in the space of 24hrs. Where exactly did this story come from? I called into Observer Live about a year and a half ago to ask about this and Dave said he had never heard that story.

Just announced for DS: Remakes of Dragon Quest 4, 5 and 6 Viva Pinata DS

He means that, for BFG for example, it was held in Plymouth, MI, so they would always say it was being held in "Motor City USA" or something like that so that you would think it was coming from Detroit and they wouldn't come off as minor league by having a PPV in a town that nobody has ever heard of. Anyway, in a recent Observer Dave was saying that it was a bad idea for them to hold this event in Atlanta because there is some big event going on that weekend, but I don't remember what it was. Perhaps a NASCAR race of some kind?

I just bought Hotel Dusk. This game is really cool and reminds me a bit of Deja Vu for the NES. Plus, I love the art style. Although the main character is a bit too modern-looking with his hairstyle and chin hair for a game that takes place in 1979.
