Anya really dislikes Nintendo-

Not just you. Yes. and correction to my above post--actually it's Terror Beyond 2 which is skipped over, not Hereafter 2, because I was going by the episode listing on the case. So yeah, there are a few screwups going on here.

Yeah the ending was not the best. I liked the forshadowing of Luthor running for president, as that makes me mark out. The way to tell the J'ons apart is the the Justice Lord version had four arms instead of 2. Sorry but that is the best explanation I can give you. I noticed that one on the commentary track, yeah. It's still a bit tricky but when the JLo J'on is blasted he's not even in the same frame as the League version. so that part isn't as bad as I had first though. Annoying little bug with the DVDs--if you select the play all eps option, some eps it doesn't do that. For instance, Maid of Honor pt. 2 it skipped over, plus Hereafter Pt. 2. I watched Twilight Pt. 2 again with the commentary--again, absolutely awesome episode and you can see how proud they are of Season 2 right there. I used to prefer Tim Daly over George Newburn as Supes (see The Late Mr. Kent), but based on a lot of the eps I'm seeing here, it's really a tough call.

Many of the top Silcon Knights folks are highly critical of Nintendo and the Wii, so fat chance. Oh, and Penny Arcade's latest comic is saying the same thing I was thinking about the situation. "We gotta wait for Too Human to be out first? Damnit."

Konami has patented the title "Guitar Revolution." Which is really funny, since their own Guitar Freaks was pretty much the inspiration for Guitar Hero.

Dynamite Cop is okay but Dynamite Deka/Die Hard Arcade is better. Fighting Force was a blast back when it came out but nearly unplayable today. The zombie beat 'em up was Zombie Revenge. Horrible controls and level designs ruined a potentially awesome game.

No. Silicon Knights was the developer and they own the rights.

A Better World 2 is pretty good...but such a totally lame ending. What the hell happened there? Justice Lord Batman apparently sends the League back, the other Lords try to..um...go back through (weren't they already in our world?), then there's the big fight scene where--bam, all of a sudden Luthor is helping the League (who authorized that pardon?), and passes up the chance to hit the League with the Disruptor? How did he tell the J'ons apart? Why did Justice Lord J'on turn back into his more "human" form instead of his native Martian form? What actually happened to the Lords--were they thrown into the icy waters at the bottom of Supes' fortress? Jailed in our world? Sent back home de-powered? Does Justice Lord Batman now rule the Lords' world now? Couldn't Lord GL just go find his lantern and recharge his ring? His powers aren't inborn. Can Hawkgirl now *not fly* even though she still has the same body and has wings and the closest thing to superpowers she had was that stupid mace? It's like they were past deadline and scribbled the ending down in about 5 minutes before sending it to the storyboarders.

I hope they hurry up and get that piece of crap Too Human game finished already so that they can get back to making good games. It's impossible to take the game seriously or have much genuine excitement when there's so much overinflated BS about the game with nothing to show for it.

You mean by making the Enter the Matrix and Path of Neo games, right? Messiah is a little like Geist, in that you can possess people and stuff.

Yes, it's totally PS2. What 3D game doesn't need a better camera? Remember that these trailers are fairly old, too. Of course it's cheesy as hell. Beat 'em ups should always be that way. Plus it's a Japanese portrayal of the Old West, so it's expected. No love for the Hyper Curb Stomp to the Groin or FOTNS Explodie Punch?

I dont' get it, though. Thanks anyway.

Probably only Special K can answer me on this, but has anyone seen Slayers Great? I haven't bothered trying to pick it up--because the movies are pretty much Lina and Naga affairs, and I hate Naga (ok, the laugh is gold, but overall Martina is about a hundred times more entertaining IMO).

Evil and late.

I just picked up the Season 2 JL DVD set. Wow... Not just the eps, which are very good from what I've seen. But "wow" in that I somehow managed to miss damn near the entire 2nd season of this show. I mean, out of the eps listed I can remember seeing Starcrossed, and that's about it. It's clear to me why the crew isn't so proud of Season 1--this clearly blows it away. And I still haven't seen some eps of Season 1. I think this is all due to CN's changing of its time plus my college classes then.

Yeah....just remember where those 3 nintendo games I sent you came from.......and I'm not that insane. Okay, maybe it's just San Francisco, LA and Hollywood that's batshit, and the rest of the state is just plain ol' insane. I've dealt with many a hyphenated last-name, loudmouthed, stupid ranting/raving lunatic from California at my job calling in.

I say regardless of the location, Californians are still batshit insane.

Nintendo is going to *announce* the Wii info--price, release date, etc in September. I really hope that Virtual Console is stacked with 3rd Party stuff, including Castlevania 3. I picked up a Retrocon (a bootleg NES system), and like virtually every other NES knockoff, which is usually NOAC (NES on a Chip), it doesn't play Castlevania 3 due to the game's custom sound chip. Everything else seems to play beautifully (my NES kept crashing in games), and maybe I'll have to just settle for emulated CV3 on the PC, but it's still a fine little system. All I want for Virtual Console then--CV3 and Rondo of Blood Arranged.

are all the games in order chronologically?

Afterthoughts from Iga on Curse: http://gonintendo.com/?p=3128 For those who haven't played Curse of Darkness, it is a game with a lot of great ideas (the innocent devils are kind of like the familiars from SotN but better), but it still suffers from major camera issues, repetitive level design (lots of big empty rooms), and it's really a glorifed dungeon crawler than a platformer. However it does have one of the best soundtracks ever, great boss fights and awesome cinemas. If it weren't for that major obstacle with gameplay...

Something people from New Yawk say I have.

I saw this, but I didn't post on the basis that I didn't have a source that I believed on it. I mean, anyone could fake that photo and there's obviously no GWB in it. Brain Age is terrific, but the voice recognition is terrible. If the game has a problem with my Western PA accent, Bush doesn't have a chance. Most of the rest of it I do very well in. Head count on Hard = arrrrrrrrrgh though. And on Low to High I can't seem to get beyond 6 correct unless I get lucky.

Half.com has SH2 on there for usually around 10 bucks or less. I picked up the one I have in a pawn shop, complete for 10. SH2 is the easiest to find by far, but Gamestop jacked it up to $19.99 bucks used. Ditto for FFX. The game is 20 ****ing dollars new! Why?! You can still buy FFX-2 for $9.99. It being a piece of crap probably has something to do with that.

"This video has been removed at the request of copyright owner WWE because its content was used without permission" What was it?

I didn't forget about the other stuff, it's just something that any writer that was a fan of Supes would hear and be like "WTF?!" Even if the WWE writers didn't suck by themselves, you have folks like that dictating the way things go. Peters didn't get enough of the Discovery Channel if he thinks spiders are insects. And unless he misquoted Peters, they were going to have polar bears in the Antarctic, although the Fortress is generally in the Arctic where there are actually polar bears. Maybe someone will use it for when the Indian Superman returns. I honestly don't have a problem with the "superman suit in a can" thing provided it isn't "too big for him" at any point. Sure, it's a total ripoff of the Marvel symbiotes, but the development of a docile life form that apparently climbs onto your skin and would presumably be invulnerable under a yellow sun doesn't seem beyond Krypton's "So-incredible-why-the-hell-didn't-we-think-of-a-way-to-save-ourselves" super-science. Plus it makes more sense than the explanations for Supes' costume previously. "It's krypton cloth! It's super here! Martha Kent made it by...um...unraveling Kal's baby blanket thread-by-thread." "It's like, Supes' solar charged aura, which makes it durable because it's so close to his skin."
