hmm. I wonder, maybe if you stick your penis in the girl's armpit you get a niece instead of a son. The possibilities are limitless.
For a Wii game, that looks really fucking cool.
My interest just went way up. That looks great.
And you believed them? They should have never shipped it without one...fucking morons.
See, what I tell you guys?
Thieves is great (just for the last level really), but Dark Brotherhood is absolutely awesome. Gotta be the funniest storylines in the game, though they definitely could've ended it better, especially with a fantastic twist that was just begging to be used! The Fighter's Guild is one of the most boring questlines in the game, though. Yawn.
You mean Tintin? Nope, but I read the comics. Hell I still get them out now and then!
Major crisis here. I'm having a serious tech problem I never faced before and it's the first time the internet has let me down in that i haven't found a solution within 2 minutes of googling (in fact it's been at least two hours).
The issue at hand is this: Something makes my computer unable to recognise any device plugged into its USB ports.
I tried connecting my psp this morning to put some more music files to play on Beats but what happened when i asked it to make a USB connection is it just said "Please wait" ... FOREVER! After a couple of hours of thinking this was a problem with my PSP and trying everything with it and looked for a PSP solution on the internet, i started trying other USB cables and then other USB devices and realised that none of them were recognised. Not my MP3 player, not my flash disks, not my camera ... you get the picture.
So far I haven't been able to do anything about this and i've tried most of what I found suggested on forums, youtube etc. it's really starting to piss me off. This is just so annoying. If anyone can help me I would be ever so grateful.
By the way, thanks to the updates and discussion of the last few days (which I know I took no part in) my anticipation for many games like Mushroom Men, Little King's Story, even deBlob has grown a great deal. So ... thanks!

Like, everyone.
This is gold. What a fun game.
I got another one, I think Microsoft would the be the survivalist with a shack in the mountains filled with guns and explosives.
Man that sucks, the only thing you can do it to wait for...
Fix it he will!
I like that it's an action RPG and not something which is going to pause the screen and have me selecting from menus. Hope the combat is at least as good as No More Heroes. This game kinda shows up Ubisoft in my eyes, they are doing this prince of persia with a similar painted/pencilled look and not doing a wii one. While these guys are handling something which overtly looks similar.
Well yeah I believed them. Buying a hard drive is too expensive over here, then I would have to get a wireless dongle and XBL. The cost just keeps going up. Screw it.
Try watching the Tenchu IV video link I posted in the updates on Friday it's the same video but much better quality. The game looks fairly okay but the controls really have to be spot on, or the game has to be fairly forgiving for it to work.
I ordered the 75th anniversary boxset but there seems to be some confusion over it. Some people think that this is different from the ones they knew growing up. This is apparently some 1990 version they remade and not the 70s one. I can't remember which one I watched growing up. In 1990 I was 10 years old. I remember the bearded Scot, the professor and Tintin and Snowy. I hear that there are books? Does that mean the comic books I used to see or actual novel books? Because some comments I read made the inference that they were proper book, books.
Yeowch. That sounds like a big problem. Have you used the windows feature to reset everything to a few days ago?
It's good to know you were reading the stuff we post, but it does feel a little empty here sometimes. Activity seems to have picked up from Friday, I was suprised to see people posting in the morning. Then Dvader and Steelo came over.
Iga posting again?
King story screens
Little King's Story is gonna be like Zack & Wiki: a great game that looks too kiddie for most people. And the box art is just not cool. There's definitely a barrier between family friendly artstyles like Super Mario and Pikmin, and games like Z & W and this here. The former is more accepted I think by the older crowd.
Man every time I talk about Wii games with my brother, like even de Blob telling him how cool it looks and whatnot he comes out with the same comment: "Yeah it looks really good 'for the kids'". I'm like pfft fuck the kids...I want to play it. Its been awhile since I had a conversation about a Wii game without that comment...like probably Metroid. I did mention Conduit to him, but he hasn't seen it yet. Wii definitely needs to step it up with more 'adult' games though. That's one thing he always makes me realise.
He has had a Wii for awhile, but because of the lack of edgier stuff he desperately wants one of the other machines but too expensive for him right now. I often wonder how common his situation is, and how much price really has helped the Wii's sales the last few years.
Little King's Story really does look like Pikmin ie perfect! I really can't wait. And on top of that to know that They are making Pikmin 3 ... ah bliss

Got some scores from the latest EGM here...hope someone else hasn't posted these yet:
Somewhat, but I don't think it has Pikmin's dark appeal that makes anyone who plays it love it. Still ain't nothing truely like Pikmin, even Overlord isn't all that much like it.
My bro is like that and it just pisses me off. Like people who refuse to watch animated movies like Studio Ghibli's because they assume it's just kids stuff. My dad refused to watch the LOTR films for like years, literally through from when Fellowship of the ring launched through to after Return of the King came out on DVD, because he didn't like fantasy films. One time I forced him to watch the first one and was hooked and watched all the extended editions and this is man that treats watching a two hour movie as a chore.
It just annoys me that people wont try things and just dismiss things outright and just assume that they wont like them. My bro was like that for Zack and Wiki, he refused to even try it. I kicked him into a game of boom blox and he wouldn't stop playing for two days, he even forced me to play multiplayer with him.
Nice EGM reviews. I tried the spore DS creatures demo from the nintendo channel. Total crap, but it was just the creation mode. Apparently you pokemon style battle them in an rpg?
Visually and conceptually this is a game I fell in love with from the first minute. Even over pikmin I have to say. This game just has oodles of charm.
WINDS OF NOSTALGIA SCREENS
Few Tenchu screens, that are worth looking at. Visually it is getting better. I just hope that they take their time to get the controls right and polish everything.
Some of these screens we've already seen, but I think these are slightly bigger and better quality.
EGM on Far Cry 2:
"Far Cry 2 just might pull off the whole 'let's make a gigantic open-world FPS' idea. The concept's certainly ambitious: dump players into 50 square kilometers of Africa, tell them 'All you have to do is find and kill an arms dealer names Jackal' and let them make their way from there.
Crazy technologies like fire propagation, A.i. buddies that live and die based on your decisions, jammable weapons, roaming animals, destructable environments, and a self-generating story are there to make everyone's Far Cry 2 experience a combination of the words 'unique' and 'awesome'.
If Ubisoft's Montreal A team pulls off all these ideas, Far Cry 2 will be remembered as the definition of the open-world first person shooter."
Fuck, sounds fun. I fucking loved Instincts which was one of the top 5 shooters on Xbox easily, and this sounds like it blows it away.
You sir are So wrong! Check what IGN said about.
Demon Hatefield said
When it comes time to build a town square your subjects will hold festivals there each time you defeat a boss and expand your territory. It's actually rather gruesome -- the beast's head is stuck on a pyre and the citizens dance around like pagans wearing masks
P.S. what's wrong with the boxart? It is badass!
HOLY CRAP! WHAT KIND OF GAME IS THIS? HOMO-EROTIC NINJITSU?!
I love the box art too!
Sounds cool, but then I'm not sure about open world. Sometimes it can be too unfocused for its own good.
Why do Rare keep teasing about Viva Pinata on Wii for christsakes?
A portion of a SPOnG interview with RARE’s Gary Richards…
SPOnG:…So, we’ll never be seeing Viva Piñata on the Wii then?
Gary Richards: (Grins). I’m not saying.
Game looks cool, boxart will sink this game at retail. It looks like the cover of every other shovelware wii game. Same thing that hurt zack and wiki. Not that capcom will ever admit it.
