From River Rush story (sadly it appears to have nothing to do with the Carol Shaw epic, River Raid), "Jacobs' children - aged six and three - showed leveller heads. "Do my sons like Natal better than Wii? Not yet, they say. They'll need to spend more time with it at home".

Nice dad, way to program your kids.  

Father: "DAMNIT, YOU ARE LIKING THE WRONG THINGS - LIKE THIS."

Kids: "But I don't want to talk to Milo, he scares me, Daddy."

I can dig that.  My fave boss (now that I'm thinking about it) was that shopping cart lady boss.  Once you figure out it is like a vertical shooter it is a much easier level.

It may be, indeed, that I liked those bosses due to the intro's.

I loved that boss in the first game.

Anyhow, I'm not finished with Desperate Struggle so say no more on those bosses!

Updates done for the moment. Lots of stuff.

So I know Hamster posted it already, but does no one have anything to say about a 3DS as powerful as the PS3/360??

If, and it's a big IF, that is true then Nintendo will have really suprised me. It might even be dangerous for a handheld market which thrives on low costs and neat ideas.

I think Nintendo knows the value of keeping prices low better than any of the other console developers. That's part of the reason why both the Wii and DS were so successful. To have them abandon that strategy just doesn't make sense. Plus that would put Nintendo in a very awkward position though in that their handheld is more powerful than their console.

I think the 3DS being as powerful as a HD system is a probably a little wishful thinking. I'm sure it could as powerful as the Wii without breaking a sweat. The Wii is already pretty small. They could shrink that down and sell if for $170.

That's what I was thinking. That level of tech in a handheld, is like what Sony would do, future proofing it or something. Nintendo is more like low cost entry, have it run 5 years and then next system.

This just reminds me how much I hate Daniel Craig as Bond.

Why?

Why?

1.  He's not Sean FUCKING Connery.

2.  He always looks constipated

3.  They've taken out all the fun of the Bond movies. They're good spy/action movies still, but they're just not James Bond anymore.

I take this as an insult to all constipated people.
