Agreed that Char basically sucks. Dawn of Sorrow is 10x better than PoR, BTW. And in the bonus mode, Yoko is a fantastic fighter.

Actually I'm working through the series on DVD myself, and I'm on that season. But the overall arc is rather lacking, and at this point they seemed to have no idea what the hell to do with Giles. Anya (TSM poster that is) and I were simul-playing it and exchanging IMs about it. Her seeing it about a billion times and me for the first time. So far (just seen Pangs) it seems rather disappointing compared to 3.

I have several tri-wings as part of my gamebit set, but even so it's still too large. And DS Lite screws, save for the battery compartment, aren't easily accessed because the screwholes are drawn into the unit a bit. So a melted pen cap is probably out. I'm sure a Nintendo-authorized service center would have them, but I'm not sure how to find out where one near you would be, so perhaps calling Nintendo is worth a shot. Oh, when mole notices this thread.... http://www.rz.uni-hohenheim.de/hardware/ba...assimilated.gif

Big shock--merged thread, no response to that topic. Anyway, I rented Gears of War and Oblivion. Gears is...good, but naturally it isn't going to be one of my faves because of the genre. Terrific production values, graphics, sound, tight controls, your squad AI is actually good, and if squad-based shooters were a genre I enjoyed I'd probably be in gaming nirvana right about now. So, nice game, probably will buy it if I don't finish before I return it. Oblivion, on the other hand, is boring (so far). Granted, I just got out of the dungeon and I know that's not fair to judge it on. However, what the hell do I do now? Just go on with the main quest? Other ideas? Feel free to let me know.

Ok, seems way more fun. I'll consider it when I get more wiipoints.

BTW, at least in Japan, SNK is putting out compilations of Art of Fighting 1-3 and "the first 3" Fatal Fury games on PS2.

Oh. Well, other then taking it apart and wiping apart any excess, you're probably out of luck.

Let it dry out for a while and try it again.

I have Bonk's Revenge on Game Boy. Is there much of a difference?

You probably did hear region-free. Perrin Kaplan said it but she was mistaken. I think modchips for Wii hit either in or just before January.

I think there were a lot of similar complaints about Half Life 2. Good on PC, crappy on xbox, right?

Boo another one that's on Animal Crossing. Why not "yay, there's another one I don't have to put up with Resetti to play?"

Thank God. With all this activity on the forums that was really necessary.

On the Harvey Birdman game: it will be published by Capcom but developed by High Voltage, the same folks who did the last Leisure Suit Larry game and the Family Guy game. So rest assured you'll get your dick jokes.

Indeed it isn't. WWM fails at reading comprehension. In theory, if it does hit the BC list, is it even worth bothering with considering Oblivion is on 360?

In fairness, it is supposed to be more of a tutorial to tell you how to do those things and and to show you the possibilities. We know it plays games, and you should know how to make it do that. But the acting on display is terrifically awful. And there seems to be some trickery on display there with the picture--it doesn't look that bright in any real light. At least as far as I've seen.

Any comment on that title from some one who isn't WWM? WWM: What titles would you vote to avoid, just so I know--barring the obvious like Chicago Enforcer, Drake, Tao Feng, etc.

Nobody seems to think Jade Empire is "okay." Either it's great or terrible. I'd be glad to also hear very specifically how the gameplay works for any recommended titles, or if it's not a recommended one, the issues at work. I'd figured that xbox 1 RPGs would be pretty slim, but that's okay. I don't really need a game in that genre anyway right now.

The list: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardco...tygameslist.htm I got a 360 last week, and have got a bunch of games, both 360 and xbox1. I know about the good, well-publicized titles that are compatible, and so far I've gotten the following: Crimson Skies : Old-timey, mission-based flight action/shooter. Ninja Gaiden Black: Enhanced version of Ninja Gaiden. Kicking my ass hard. Thief- Deadly Shadows: stealth-based game where you play a (guess). Hard game, got it for free when I picked up other used games at Hollywood Video Doom 3 Lim Edition: Cuz it was cheap and has Ultimate Doom and Doom 2. I haven't touched the main game. Some titles I was considering: Fable- Heard it's an RPG, but also heard action-adventure. My affinity for the Zelda series is well known, as well as fast-paced RPGs that cut out the bull (Chrono Trigger), or have solid, fun, action-heavy battles (Kingdom Hearts, Paper Mario series). I dislike KotoR and FFXII. I don't really dig dungeon crawlers or roguelikes (I really, really wanted to like Dark Cloud 2, but couldn't really stick with it). What could I expect with Fable. Sid Meier's Pirates! - All I know is that people seem to really like it but i don't know much about it beyond that. Grabbed by the Ghoulies - Supposedly it's good, clean, shoot-up-baddies old-school gameplay, but it got critically massacred. Would like other opinions on it, though.

CN / HB properties are owned by Turner, so yeah. But they couldn't throw Superman or Wonder Woman in there since they don't own them (WB does), although they do show Superfriends in syndication. Turner owns some crappy original characters like Apache Chief/Wendy/Marvin, though.

Weak. Oh well. *Goes back to slaughtering gang members by the dozens in Crackdown*

I'm playing the full game of Crackdown. Darn fun. I just drove defensively in the cars, though. I got a Halo 3 beta invite. What is it? Singleplayer or multi?

How would they do that? Have animation 10x better than the show and forget to include dick jokes?

Yeah, region freeness rules. (Take note of this, Nintendo/MS.)
