World's Worst Man

Yea, it was going down, but coming back fast enough to where I was never in any trouble. Not using any cheats or anything.

Yea. I was just perplexed over why I wasn't taking any damage. Game's pretty fun all in all.

Does the difficulty in Crackdown ramp up, or should I change the difficulty level myself? I just started, and did some mission that the game said would probably be over my head, yet I completely smoked it. Didn't seem to lose any health or anything, and the armor (or whatever the grey bar above the health is) kept refilling.

Hamilton is way too close to Toronto, and it's actually smaller than Mississauga, at least in terms of population. People in this neck of the woods (which is between Hamilton and Toronto) are hardcore Leafs fans, and I seriously doubt many people will go support a Hamilton team. Then again, if they draw good crowds, I doubt the ownership will care about how many people are actually fans of the team. Still, putting a team in Hamilton is just silly, and Winnipeg makes a lot more sense.

Pfft, screw Capcom's error. A Final Fight movie back in the day would have been awesome. Back in the day meaning when I was a child and didn't mind incredibly cheesy action movies. As long as they had a real woman play Poison.

Potemkin, there you go. I always thought it would be funny if I cosplayed as one of those small, skinny, pussy characters (like Shinji from Eva), being 6'4 and 240. Also, cosplaying Vega (psycho power guy) would be bitching.

The umpires fucked up then, because A-Rod clearly yelled out something. It would have been the difference between a 5 run Yankee lead going into the bottom of the 9th, and a 2 run Yankee lead. Not an objectively game changing play, but enough to perhaps be annoyed about.

Probably not. I wasn't even aware that it was in bad taste. I thought that sort of stuff was common place. Yelling out to attempt to confuse the opposition certainly happens in hockey.

Haha, A-Rod yells something to the Toronto 3B as he's attempting to field an infield fly, causing the 3B to give up on it, I guess because he thought the SS was calling him off. Classic.

If Toronto doesn't drop Raycroft and get a real number one goalie, JFJ should be shitcanned immediately. Seriously, the Leafs are a playoff team with a half-decent goaltender. The problem is, which solid goaltender is out there?

He'll be in Syracuse by 9:00.

Wario Ware is definitely worth a rental, because it's quite fun for a while, but it was probably one of the worst purchases I've ever made. The game is beatable in a couple hours, and there really isn't any replay value. Mario Party 8 is probably a better option for a party game. The Dragonball Z fighting game is surprisingly good, but someone who isn't familiar with the series may not be able to get into it.

Even though it'd be nice for the NHL to drop the loser teams, it'll probably not happen under this regime. So I'd just be happy if the league abandons the awful scheduling format they've been using. Eight games versus division rivals? What? That just screws the teams in good divisions, and fixes it for teams in crap divisions. They should drop the inter-division matchups to five, have every East team play every West team at least once per year (some teams twice) and add another game versus the rest of the teams in the home conference.

If he's willing to go to a "group sex thing" with only two women involved, and "guys invited", he probably is gay. Or rather, bi-sexual. You wouldn't have been far off.

Lame, kiddy rehash games don't deserve their own thread!!!!! DrVenkman PhD - Minus three Schrute bucks.

Some of the mini-games use the same kind of gimmicks as some of the Wario Ware mini-games, so I would guess someone who liked Wario Ware would like this. It's obviously not as fast paced because it's a board game at heart, and it's probably better playing with at least one other person. I don't know about the previous Mario Party games other than the first one, but a few of the rehash mini-games that show up in MP8 are more playable due to the Wiimote.

So, is Forza Motorsport basically just a poor man's Gran Turismo? Or does it have a bunch of features that GT doesn't have? Need to decide whether to get the sequel or not.

Mario Party 8 is rather fun. A lot of the mini-games are more of the same from the first installment, but some of them make good use of the Wiimote, and are quite a bit more fun than they were with a standard controller. Then there are a few that seem to be newly made for use with the Wiimote, like the lightgun style mini-games. For a mini-game compilation, this game smokes Wario Ware, because the mini-games actually have some context (the board game) and they also aren't quite so short and basic, meaning there's actually replay value here. Bring on Mario Party 9-16.

... This thread should never be neglected ever again.

Mario Party 8 is out. I haven't played the Mario Party series since the first one, but I liked it, and the Wii is made for these types of games so it should be pretty good.

Nostalgia is funny like that.

They should have made R1 block, it's so natural. It being the same as the attack button is probably why I don't block much, and instead try to dodge and jump to avoid attacks, which ends up being a pain in the ass.

Who said anything about charging into anything? It's actually quite easy to jump into it considering how unresponsive the air control is. And it doesn't help that it's basically instant death for the character, while it's not for most enemies. I guess it wouldn't be a problem if not for the control.

Game would be solid if not for the awful, unresponsive control and the mind-boggling gameplay mechanics. Getting hit by your own spells is ridiculous. Not being able to use items unless you're completely still is an unnecessary inconvenience. As for the controls, there's no excuse for having a delay for simply turning around or jumping, especially in a supposedly fast-paced game. The single plain nature of the game makes for some interesting combat, but the poor control often makes it a chore. Ironically if the battles were just mind-numbing hack and slash, the control problems wouldn't be so pronounced. Edit: The control problems seem to stem from the character sliding around too much when stopping. Therefore if you're moving one way, and want to stop, there's a fairly significant delay between taking your finger off the button, and the character coming to a complete stop. It's a pretty big issue in a game where a split-second can mean life or death.

Fun is 100% subjective. Someone could have fun playing Superman 64 for example. If someone thinks unresponsive controls are fun, that's their prerogative. DrVenkman PhD - Minus one Schrute buck.
