You know, with all of this Vagina, Booby and Some kinda Sporting Event talk, I COMPLETELY forgot:

What have you Packers (fans) been Playing this Weekend?

Truth: Just yesterday I was wondering what happened with the Onimusha series.  It is time to bring it back.  I have a few of the games, not gotten to them yet, but they seemed popular.

I've been mainly playing Darksiders, but I think I'm going to find a good DS game and play that for a while. Been a while since I've really gotten into a good handheld game, and I'm thinking its finally time for someone around here to try out Ghost Trick.

Why is there a D the MVP's last name?

Another great Super Bowl, it was ugly at times but at least it was interesting and came down to the end. I thought the Steelers were going to win but it was the Packers defense that played the way I thought the Steelers would. They were the ones creating turnovers, they scored on defense. Matthews was playing great, Polamalu seemed to vanish. Did the Steelers defense have one memorable moment? Yeah they shut down the Packers for a chunk of time in the middle of the game but some of that were dropped passes by the Packers. That kind of surprised me.


Rodgers was stellar. He did everything he had to do and capitalized on every single mistake the Steelers made. Ben played ok, the two INTs killed them but he still brought the team back. I don't know what happened in that last drive, was it just sloppy on field management or Wallace crumbling in the moment, it was a complete mess. I knew Rodgers was clearly the better QB overall coming in and he showed it again today. I will admit that a year ago I was on Favre's side, I felt the Packers made the wrong move, this season has changed my mind and this game made me realize it was stupid to ever question the move. Rodgers is a stud, the Packers made the right move and they are now holding the trophy cause of it.


As for the Steelers, they got out played today, simple as that. BUT to be down 21-3, lose three turnovers all of them leading to TDs, and still have a chance to drive down the field at the end to win the game is incredible. A lot of teams would have been blown out in that situation. I still give them a lot of credit.

Retro Game Challenge 2 Being Localized?

Oooooooh this could be epic.... in an old retro way. Crossing my fingers that this is real. Wouldn't bet on it, but damn I'd like to have it.

Yeah me too.  Maybe...MAYBE... Nintendo is going to drop their licensing costs to third parties this year to keep titles coming on the DS and Wii while the 3DS ramps up.

This one is reportedly much better thatn the first (and I loved the first).

The crash bandicoot article is interesting, whether you liked the series or not.

Small example:

"The Playstation had this oddball 512×240 video mode that everyone else ignored, it wasn’t standard (320×240) and ate up video memory others wanted for textures. But it looked SHARP and we found the machine was really good at rendering shaded, but un-textured, triangles. In fact, just as fast in the 512 mode as 320. Jason pointed out — he’s always been the master of seeing the intersection between art and tech — that since polygons on 3D characters our size were just a few pixels, shaded characters actually looked better than textured ones. So we went with more polys on the characters, less texture. This was a highly usual approach, but had lots of advantages. The characters popped, like cartoons are supposed to, we had lots more polygons to work with, and it worked around the Playstation’s lack of texture correction or polygon clipping."

Nintendo Australia has announced two down under demos for the handheld, both on Thursday 10 February.
