gWil: Gamecube DRE? If you're in warranty, call Nintendo. There's a 1 yr. Hardware warranty. If not-- hit up gamefaqs. There's a Lens Calibration Guide there that definitely sounds like your problem: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/game/915781.html I'll also put this in the other thread I started for the NES, because it certainly could help others.

That Bane ep was really weird. It was like *right* after the show was renamed "Adventures of Batman and Robin."

And I only have the slightest inkling of who she's parodying. I think she's a fashion designer. The best stuff I can think of out of Sanz was the "Taco Hole" song and his Gene Shalit, and neither of them are very good.

If we get any game with Tingle as the starring character, someone at Nintendo needs to get shit-bricked. It's actually going to happen. Most folks hoped it was quietly killed, but then a bunch of Japanese mags now have *actual* pictures and info, so yeah it's no joke. And yet Wario Thief is still in limbo. Japan likes Tingle, though.

Ha! The funny part is so many of those seem to just draw more attention to what happened. I think somebody should take a look at Roshi's plumbing, considering all of those tall, frosty mugs of *water* he is always drinking.

For future reference: Usually the manufacturer can fulfill a disk to you to restore/erase. However, to be more thorough you probably want to zero the harddrive, perhaps multiple times, and then reinstall your operating system. Once that's done, nothing aside from spending thousands to try to recover information that may or may not be on it is going to let anyone get personal info stored there. For example, this is the process on a Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107437 format c: on a pc doesn't completely wipe the HD like a zero, either, and often can still leave viruses if there were any. More info: http://www.unl.edu/is/computerdisposal.shtml This may be too late, but should help anyone else looking for info on the topic at least. I think you need 3rd party utilities to zero a PC harddrive, but I dunno. Leena may know.

Official Nintendo Release Dates for upcoming DS and GBA game(s): Game Boy Advance: Final Fantasy V Advance (November 6th) Nintendo DS: Clubhouse Games (October 9th) Nintendogs (Dalmatian) (October 16th) Magical Starsign (October 23rd) Pokemon Ranger (October 30th) Children of Mana (October 30th) Elite Beat Agents (November 6th) Yoshi's Island 2 (November 13th) Custom Robo Arena (December 4th) Kirby Squeak Squad (December 4th) EB/Gamestop have estimated release dates of 3/1/07 for Legend of Zelda Phantom Hourglass, and 1/2/07 for Phoenix Wright: Justice for All. So those are by no means confirmed, the lack of a statement from Nintendo contradicting it means neither will likely make US 07 (although PW was figured as 07 anyway). Pointless trivia tidbit: the DS Lite was the top selling game system in America for June. Yes, *America*. "Nearly 600,000 units sold! In a triumph for innovation, the dual-screen Nintendo DS portable became America's top-selling video game system of any type in June, according to independent sales numbers just released by the NPD Group. The introduction of the new DS Lite version, featuring a smaller profile and more brilliant display, boosted total sales to nearly 600,000 units, almost double that for any other game device, and alone represented more than a third of total industry system purchases for the month." -- Nintendo.com

"It's a shame it's a Sunday, or there would have been people in those buildings." That 2nd line you mentioned is surely a Pic quote, right? It seems that there's probably going to be plenty of die-hard Budokai/BT fans who will not like the game, because it is a vast departure gameplay-wise. http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/superdb...id=m-1-29452087 It's funny seeing some of the fan reviews, like the guy who gave it a 4/10 mainly because..."but some of the transformation button combinations are insane for example Vegeta's super sayian move is right, left, diagonal left down, down, diagonal right down, left then Square + X ." HAHAHAHA! Cake. A Rising Storm would make that guy's head explode. This one is much better though: http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/superdb....html?id=342600 Oh, and it has a note about the voices: "The European version uses the original Japanese voice actors and contains subtitles, while the American version has the cast of the English Dub doing the voices." Funny quote: "So while it's definitely not a 'Hardcore Fighter' like Atari would desperately want you to believe, Super Dragon Ball Z is still a pretty fun fighting game, especially for the more mature Dragon Ball Z fan." Now there's a tiny minority...

It's still totally a porn name.

Yes! You don't expect massive delays like that on a portable title. I mean, GBA's Mega Man Anniversary Collection is a huge joke but nobody seriously expects that to come out. If we get Tingle's Freshly-Picked Rose-Colored Rupee Land over here before PH I'll be highly peeved.

There is no wire. You *must* either use a wireless router or buy the usb wifi connector. And you must have windows xp. I'm really quite surprised there's no compatibility with Macs considering Nintendo's love for Apple. I've yet to get my wifi consistently working. I've called Nintendo Wifi tect support before, and we got it working but then it stopped working like the very next time I tried it.

Why not barbed wire cross?

Gamestop says that Phantom Hourglass won't make 06-- current projected release date is March.

I agree. Season 1 is ass, but they got better over time. I don't mind Goku sounding like a male, and 18 sounding like a frigid bitch instead of a giggly, ditzy airhead.

Agreed on the 2nd point...but...neither theme is very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxUFdnb5HJI&search=tmnt "...and they're green!" I'm hoping for Usagi Yojimbo and/or Casey Jones.

"Having these balls makes me feel something that resembles joy , I want to caress them." and i'm fairly sure no unless it's an unlockable

Def Jam and a buttload of Japanese imports say hello.

is this live action + cgi or all cgi?

That's okay. Replaying the first ep worked for me. As long as there are more eps coming...

They've been doing that for over 5 years and people keep buying the games. One step forward, two back, etc, etc. The more the games become more "realistic" (as in, more WWE-ish), the more of a monstrosity the gameplay becomes. The PS1 games were idiotic arcade affairs, but the current PS2 titles are a total crap stew, trying to be more of a simulation...but on WWE terms. Thus you have the broken beyond belief stat system, commentary that gets worse every year, story modes that hit peaks and deep valleys, less characters with more crappy wrestlers, dumb gimmick matches wasting space, and THEY STILL HAVE NOT FIXED THE CLIPPING! SvR had horribly, buggy, sloppy gameplay. 2K6 was even worse adding more sim elements which made for slow, dull matches that weren't even smooth, fluid, balanced and fun when stuff actually happened. Online play should die if they can't even get offline play right. SvR's online was ok but hard to set up a match with someone specific. 2K6's? When after 40 minutes I could not get a match set up against a friend I wanted to face (buddy locator? It's NEVER EVER CORRECT and DS Wi-fi's Friends Codes beat it a million times over.) I threw in the towel and gave up. Each game seems to show bigger examples of incompetence. Welcome back, Flik. "So if you really want to play Smackdown vs Raw 2007 on your PS3 you can buy the PS2 verison of the game." They could enhance it with the PS3 DualJerk controller, allowing you to shake it violently to make a hoss do a move sloppily and injure opponents.

There is no folder-specific mod for this folder. WWe're typically civilized here, unlike other parts of these forums.

I had seen that, but I thought it seemed overly biased and didn't bother posting it. The animation and gameplay are still going to be subpar.

Cat puns, henchmen out the ass instead of a sole burglar working for her own ends, and periodic alliances with supervillains to kill Bats?!

Budokai Tenkaichi is made by a different development team than the other Budokai games (and isn't even called Budokai in Japan, but "Sparking!") IIRC it's the same folks who made the GC Naruto games, but you need a damn chart to track who makes all the Naruto/DBZ games. Budokai Tenkaichi 2 is in the works for PS2 and Wii.

I finally finished the overrated piece of crap original game. Nice ending. Too bad they puss out and came up with such a lame way to do a sequel. It's not like they were caught by surprise either. They KNEW they were going to probably do a sequel. "Kratos will return" ...in THUNDERBALL!!! I have a laundry list of gripes about a mile long for the first game I'd like to submit to the team for GoW2. Where can I do that? I honestly am amazed at that elevator/sandstorm level David Jaffe proposed, thinking it was such a cool, fun, original idea and seeming so disappointed he didn't get it into the final game. And you know what? It probably will be in GoW2, just because he seems so in love with putting such incredibly shitty, annoying platforming cliches in his game. Although since he's no longer the director, I really hope I'm wrong.
