I remember being absolutely in love with the Mario cartoon when I was a kid. I haven't seen it since though, so I have no idea how well it's held up. Judging by this thread however, I'd probably say not very well! For a more recent example I think the Viva Piñata show was absolutely horrific.

I think it's becoming more and more painfully obvious how important Sakaguchi was to Square's organisation. Between 1997 and 2001 Square put out 5 quality Final Fantasies (7-10 and Tactics). Today they'd probably struggle to put out one half-arsed one in the same timeframe regardless of Square...

That's pretty cold of people. Hitting an animal could happen to anyone and you certainly shouldn't try and swerve away, potentially injuring or killing yourself in the process. That being said however, the least you can do is "clean up" after yourself and make sure that the animal is actually...

http://ealouse.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/hello-world/ A quite interesting blog post by a disgruntled former Mythic (now BioWare-Mythic) employee has some not so nice things to say about TOR. Here's the exact quote: The legitimacy of the source has yet to be confirmed, and even if it is a...

http://www.massively.com/2010/09/22/first-impressions-final-fantasy-xiv/ Massively.com gave it a reasonably positive review.

:lew: He certainly put his money where his mouth is. I'm curious to see what kind of subscription numbers Final Fantasy XIV will have a couple of months down the line. Age of Conan was, if anything, a stellar example of that paying costumers will take their business elsewhere if an MMO doesn't...

I'm continuously amazed by how young some of the members on this forum are. I'm even more amazed by how many of the younger members have actually played anything before Final Fantasy X :wacky:

I thought the beginning was pretty good. Going down to Eden Prime, fighting the Geth, getting to the beacon and all that. Maybe they mean once you get back to the Citadel? Once you get to that point, the game certainly starts to show its RPG side much more than it did on Eden Prime and it is...

You do have a point with UFC: Undisputed and WWE: RAW VS. SMACKDOWN being designed with a western audience in mind, but it doesn't change the fact that they are still Japanese games performing well in the west. You are however way off mark when you say that most games on that list were...

Left my computer to download World of Warcraft patch 4.0.1 overnight, left it to apply the patch for most of the morning, and just managed to log onto my level 14 mage (Dumbledork) for 10 minutes before I had to leave for school. Conjure food and water being replaced by Evocation and...

I think the mistake you make is that you go right from saying that Japanese games don't perform well in the west, then you go onto talking about JRPGs specifically and use that to confirm that Japanese games in general don't do well in the west. While it may be true that western gamers don't go...

Deep Purple - Don't Make Me Happy A great blues track off of Abandon which is arguably the best Deep Purple album with Steve Morse on guitar. Most people tend to name Purpendicular as the best he's played on, but I think Abandon is a much more coherrent album with a much better production and a...

Nailin' Palin in the oval office figuratively AND literally. I'd be into that.

Friends. Seriously, if it wasn't for the laugh track, I'd have no idea which bits were supposed to be funny. The only show I can think of which was less funny would be Joey. I have no idea why the creators thought that the most obnoxious and braindead character from Friends needed his own show.

Never said that it was guaranteed a better reception on the console, but chances are that the heavily menu-based interface will be received more favourably by console gamers if it was designed with that platform in mind.

From what I've read, the interface is very console-centric, so I wouldn't take it as a given that the PS3 version will suck worse. I've heard mixed things about this game so far. Some people seem to be totally in love with it, while others consider it the most loathsome MMO ever. Reading about...

Other than dwarf noble, human noble was probably the most interesting origin story in the game. It really ties in with the main story arch in a way which none of the other origin stories managed.

Well, would you? Personally I would. Palin is a cougar.

Looks a bit like Matt Damon. If Matt Damon was a streetwalking manwhore.

As someone who started playing the RPG and then gave up pretty much immediately after, here's what I thought: For something which I take is mostly meant as a fun little additional thing for the forum, I just thought it much too difficult and time consuming. I spent 45 minutes in it and didn't...
