Mos def. I didn't "get" most of this week's episode (aside from the obvious Dr. Doom parodying; other stuff like the catfaced guy, hitler girl, and the gay eunuchs fell flat for me.), but that was probably, bar none, the most hilarious Brock killing spree so far (including the aftermath).

Shadow of the Colossus has gone Greatest Hits, Soul Calibur 3 is available at Target for $20. These other titles should be GH too: • Jak X: Combat Racing • SOCOM 3 • Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves • Ratchet: Deadlocked ...although I can't 100% confirm that.

I'm fairly sure, given the concerns about wrists getting tired, they'll offer both configurations. However, I thought it seems more intuitive for arrow-shooting the old way.

In case you somehow missed all the commercials and the ads on game sites, Silent Hill the movie is out on DVD. My Wal-Mart is attempting to unload dvds of Resident Evil by bundling it free with Silent Hill (yeah, it's free; the same price for the 2pack as for the dvd itself). Also, they're doing something similar with FF7 Advent Children and FF TSW (buy AC and get the bundled TSW free). EDIT: While the Wal-mart 2 pack is $20 (the same price you'll see most places), Target has it for $16.99 for this week only (22nd to the 28th). However, FYE has it for $12.99 "after rebate" (the details of which I am not sure of). However, since I had a gift card, I got the wal-mart set for only $10 cash and immediately traded in the RE dvd at gamestop for an extra $2.

DVD wasn't a proprietary format, and was put in the PS2 at the "right" time when consumers were ready.

"I'm in shock!" JR = the Sting of wrestling announcers.

Did Jeff hardy pack some weight back on? He looks healthier than I remember him.

No, I don't see it being necessary for games. Games don't even currently use close to that amount of space. The only person claiming space will be an issue is Phil Harrison, and either he's an idiot or thinks we're all idiots. MS has an ex-Sega rep as their top xbox guy. They're not likely to forget the lessons from the Sega CD (granted, HDDVD is not CD+G, but still...).

Pfft. Yeah. Slapstick is SO much better than sarcasm... Has anyone else's gamestops/ebs had their demo Cubes set up with Star Fox Assault? 2 of them in my area had--I had thought at first that in addition to the DS Star Fox Command there was actually a GC game out too (silly me). This is even funnier out of context: http://www.screwattack.com/Flash%20HTML/ANN/Quote.html

First thing I thought of.

If you're making an attempt to be objective and truthful, yeah. However, that was never the point of the Mac/PC ads anyway, so why would a parody be?

(Not sure if that was just a response to me or the original post on it...) Yeah, PS3 should be like a 6'2", busty model, but as cold and unyielding as stone. Perhaps with a bad Madonna-esque faux-British accent. While Wii girl could remain as-is, dumb and "fun" but more modestly equipped. However, she should wear pretty much the same clothes every single day and always drag you shopping for new earrings, shoes, etc. 360 should be, like...a blinged-out wigger/punk chick, likely equipped with her own piece.

I haven't gotten far enough into A Bard's Tale to give it an accurate rating, but the way the dude remains cool even WHEN HE'S ON FIRE is just so amazingly screwed up and funny it's hard not to love.

That doesn't add up. The awesomeness of Lee should more than make up for her suckiness. The sad part is that some voice acting director somewhere had to have asked her to sound like that. She doesn't actually sound like that normally.

I'd go on record as saying its the best VA of any game out there. Just wish there was a bit more success for it. I disagree. Maybe the best original writing, yeah. However, for voice acting I would argue Kingdom Hearts 2, provided we're not counting Mena Suvari's performance. KH2 needed more cutscenes voiced by Christopher Lee.

Getting a role in Dirge of Cerberus (and doing 2 songs for it)? http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&...sa=N&tab=wi I probably just totally sold Yuna on this game if she's popped in this thread, though.

I thought it was really weak. PS3 would more aptly be a snooty dominatrix or something. The apple ads they're derived from are really terrible anyway.

The localization for Dragon Quest VIII was heavily done by Richard Honeywood, a witty Brit. The localization and well-written voice acting is also the best part of the entire game.

Ah, apparently yeah. Comment from Jeremy Parish's blog:

What's sellback rate? If that is what I think it is--I didn't think Japan had a used game market...

blu ray and hd dvd players will each play current-gen dvds.

You're going to actually try to play FFVII now? Good luck. The translation is so horrifyingly bad that it even drives Anya slightly mad. The pre-rendered bgs have aged well, but the character models are yech. The battle models look much better but the frame rate will make your eyes scream.

When you assume... (Credit: 1up) Damnit--guess some skeptics are going to have to try some demo units or settle for GC. Lord only knows why Nintendo wants to coddle the GC some more. It's an even bigger lame duck right now than the xbox is, and that system's successor has been out the better part of a year.

Dirge of Cerberus also includes a metrosexual Japanese pop singer (Gackt) who has been crowbarred into the story, making its plot seem like some sort of bad self-insertion fanfic.
