Per-so-na.

[EricMM]

No, that bit at the beginning...

[Thoth]

Shin Megami Tensei?

 

Well, if you know Spanish, Japanese vowels follow the same rules as Spanish vowels, as in that there are only five vowel sounds. Compared to English, the letter a can be pronounced "ey" or "ah" or "aah" depending on the word it's in. So just pretend that the words are in Spanish.

[EricMM]

I can say that part well enough.

 

It's getting the guy at the register to UNDERSTAND that is the trouble.

 

Shit, he had trouble with "Fire Pro Wrestling Returns"

 

Me: Do you have Fire Prowrestling Returns?

Them: Halo?

Me: NO not halo!

 

etc.

Well, did you know that 75% of retail store employees have a hearing problem? Verbal reinforcement is just not going to be effective in those cirucmstances. That's when you have to hit them.

[LaParkaMarka]

Just write it down. Presumably they can read.

I can't decide which DS game to get - LEGO Star Wars or Call of Duty 4 - any suggestions?

Personally haven't seen how COD4 runs on the DS, Lego Star Wars seems decent, though I've heard its a bit buggy in parts.

[DrVenkman PhD]

I was reading about Lego Batman... that has potential to be amazing.

[Broward83]

Lego Indiana Jones FTW

[MarvinisaLunatic]

Im assuming any property Lego has the rights to make Lego Brick sets for, they're going to make into a game..?

 

Harry Potter, Spongebob and Thomas and Friends games..coming to a game console near you!

Unless they were big fans of Jax, I am not seeing the relationship to Mortal Kombat at all. Kicks and punches last time I check existed way before MK did.

 

And "I don't know, I was drunk" is never a really good defense against murder.

[Black Lushus]

"You raped her."

 

"Man, I was drunk, I don't remember anything!"

 

Maybe they did a crouching uppercut on her? Perhaps a bicycle kick?

[haws bah gawd]

The spine and neck injuries were caused by the Mortal Kombat crouching uppercut that sends opponents 10 feet into the air. Anytime you hit someone under the chin so hard, that they're launched that far into the air, only to land flat on their back, the end result will rarely be good.

Especially if they fall into a nearby pit of spikes.

Oh Pro Wrestlers do it all the time......wait the blame is on Mortal Kombat this time around right? I re-tract my statments.

So, for an early Christmas present I got Monster House for GBA.

 

Yes, it's a licensed game. Yes, it's a *portable* licensed game. Yes, it was *published by THQ*.

 

Yet, somehow, against all expectations, it's good.

 

Also, it's

It was given to me by a friend familiar with my gaming tastes, and I'm about halfway through the game and having a great time. It's like Zelda with a) squirt-guns; b) hot-swappable characters; c) the feel of one large dungeon with multiple levels with occasional backtracking, but without the need to go back a long way or muck through a ton of areas with nothing in them.

 

So it's fun and surprisingly polished, and I'd like to just say the Temple of the Ocean King can go to hell. Only real gripe I have is the lack of enemy types. I guess the easy difficulty too, but I can't really say it's much easier than any recent Zelda title.

The MK story is horrible but stupid people can obsess over anything and become dangerous/murderers.

Just because they weren't trying to shoot ice at each other doesn't mean they weren't acting out Mortal Kombat. The game didn't make them do it but everytime something this like this happens gamers are quick to deny the game had anything to do with it at all.

 

This is the 3rd MK copycat death since 2000. I am open to the idea of ending the series and sending Ed Boon to jail.

[luke-o]

Society always looks for something to blame because they don't want to be blamed themselves.

[Anya]

The kids were charged, not Midway. Relax untill crazy Jack is on TV talking about this.

Make sure to ban the Tekken series while we're at it.

 

Virtua Fighter is safe, because nobody actually plays it.

[Black Lushus]

let's ban everything and live in a dystopian society!

[Star Ocean 3]

Only 4 days until the Star Ocean remake, aka reason to buy a PSP comes out. That's the Japanese release, but it seems somewhat certain that they'll announce a US release, as well

There's some untold evil at work, trying to get me back into playing World of Warcraft, I haven't played it for about a year, but there's something trying to make me go back to playing it.

 

I... must... resist...

[haws bah gawd]

Anyone play Ratchet and Clank Future on PS3? Great graphics and game-play all around. The SIXAXIS functionality is spot-on. I've noticed some clipping issues, but they are VERY minor.

Mr. T and William Shatner after a powerful force.

[luke-o]

Mr. T and Shatner? Blizzard really nailed their targer audience with those two choices.

 

I hate WoW, but fair play to Blizzard on that call.

I think they also have Mini Me shilling for WoW as well, but who cares about him?

[alfdogg]

I'm looking for a good N64 emulator. Any suggestions?
