Declining Health Bar? Fill me in on what's happening because this doesn't sound familiar? Did you get poisoned?

"Extreme cold."  Every new stage you take constant damage unless you use Warmer potions.  It's like being auto-poisoned at the start of each section.

You just have to create the "heat potion". I don't remember what the formula is (I think the halapino). Either way I think that level is suppose to be like that to ramp up the difficulty. But if you must there is a potion to it. Try to see if its in your alchemy book or if all else fails lok at some FAQS (there's also the moving to different map trick).

"I don't care to have to keep a big load of potions that temporarily stop the decline either" - Me

I'm aware of the potions, and still think it's stupid.

Everybody stop pickin' on meeeee. Or I will crap in a box and send it to you. That reminds me...whatever happened to Gamingqueen? She posted like 3 times then hasn't shown up since.

If you don't like alchemy then this isn't the game for you.

Morning all. It's a bloody cold Friday down in Melbourne (typical).

That does suck Yoda - Shinobi (PS2) was like the same, but also more difficult.

Not really, in Shinobi you couldn't control it unless you killed more enemies. This however is just similar to poisoning, you just treat your character.

Ahh, I see. Thanks Punk.

Same here - wouldn't have a clue why she hasn't embraced this place like I have.

Anyone take a look at the Kenji Eno interview on 1UP? Fascinating read - particularly when it comes to the Warp stuff.

Wow, De Blob looks fantastic, platforming greatness.

Yeah it looks pretty interesting.

Nintendo: Third party Games Do So Sell On The Wii

"There is an assumption out there that just simply isn't true... We're setting the record straight. This is fact. We are selling third-party games and they are doing very well, and better than our competitors." --Nintendo of America's Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Denise Kaigler

^^^That chart is completely pointless? Why would they include 1st party sales?

It's comparing both 1st and 3rd party sales on all three consoles, so it isn't pointless. However, I agree that it doesn't make much sense when accompanied with Nintendo's 3rd party statement.

Remember when we only cared about the game and cared less about who made and how? Remember how we would ust walk into a store look at the back at the box and buy a game? Remember when we used to form our own opinion instead of listening what some cynical reviewer told us?

Yup, because I still do all of those things.

Except buying games based on the box art I presume! Because you are here and therefore informed.

Well, I figure I'm somewhat informed. Truth be told, I follow Nintendo pretty closely, but the rest of the industry barely registers with me most of the time. Shoot, a lot of the games talked about here I know nothing about. I actually do buy some games based on box art simply because I didn't hear anything about them. Granted, they are usually older games that have been marked down significantly in price, but, yeah, I'm still swayed by cool box art every now and then.

While we are on the subject of missing persons, where is Archangel? Has he forsaken us for Giant Bomb?
