So you basically have to rewire your brain.

I'm going to pass on the Avenger.

Man....he's hurting looking these days. Holy shit. Looks more like the Emperor than Luke Skywalker.

It's the Avenger or these Edge, choose wisely.

Nike release ‘Back to the Future’ shoes

They’re the most famous trainers in movie history, and now they can be yours. Nike has created 1,500 (almost) exact replicas of the iconic, glowing shoe worn by Marty McFly - played by Michael J. Fox - in the 1989 film ‘Back to the Future II’.

Sadly, the 2011 Nike MAGs don’t feature laces that do up themselves, but they do include a LED panel and the electroluminescent Nike logo in the strap.


The shoes don’t come cheap. Nike are selling them on eBay, with bids for some models already at the £5,010 ($8,000) mark. They started at less than £1.

It’s all for a good cause though: the cash will go towards the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s disease research.

Michael J. Fox, who will appear on the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ to promote the shoes, said: “This project is exciting to me because it brings together three very passionate audiences: the Parkinson’s community, the sneakerheads and ‘Back to the Future’ fans.”

Nike CEO Mark Parker said: “We wanted to translate the excitement people have for the ‘greatest shoe never made’ and for ‘Back to the Future’ into positive action. But the long term objective is to raise awareness so the Foundation can achieve their goal of eradicating Parkinson’s disease.

Next up, a hoverboard?

Those sneakers are horrid.

So what do you guys think about DQ 10 coming to both Wii consoles?

I think they should just scrap the Wii version and make it a Wii 2 exclusive. By the time it comes out, Wii 2 will be out for one thing. For another thing, the installed base doesn't really matter for this game, as the fans will go buy the hardware to play it, while people that aren't into DQ aren't going to buy it even if they have the hardware. I think this game could be a much bigger help to Wii 2 than Wii, especially as far as gaining a userbase goes, as well as drawing RPG fans to the system so NOA doesn't have to shaft America out of anymore games.

Honestly I don't think Wii U will do well first thing out of the gates. What strikes me is how long it takes SE to make games in the FF or DQ main series.

Wii U can play Wii games, maybe Square might be hurting sales of the game on Wii by already announcing a U version. Both are supossed to be cross compatible for online play.

I'm sure Nintendo might love it if it was a Wi U launch game to kick start things in Japan.

Yeah....imo they really don't make much else worth buying anymore either. They used to release a new FF every couple years ON TOP of other great stuff. Square has really lost a few steps over the years.

TGS stageshow for Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright.

I'm not looking forward to this one, I want my Phoenix Wrighy undiluted.
