  1. I told ila I was leaving SFGHQ but I wanted to stop by one more time to complain. Cause I'm really good at that The music is so abysmal that they're using Michael Jackson's spinning corpse to drill for oil. Seriously. That's the shittiest fucking music I've heard in a video game since that one time I played my cousin's copy of Rocket Power on GBA. This stuff sucks, and whoever composed it should be demoted to Janitor. The level design is bland. Any of these levels could be reskinned and called something else, save for the torch level, which sucks anyways. Even the bosses are just lame versions of the old bosses. There's not a single new idea in any of them. None. There's zero creativity in this game. Meanwhile, I'm halfway through Kirby's Epic Yarn, and every level has blown my mind. The graphics are crap. There's no reason for this to be on new hardware. Backgrounds are prerendered and Sonic being 3D is unnecessary; it's only really utilized once, and it for a cheap effect that lasts a few seconds. You can even compare the "You Won!" screens from Sonic 1 and this, where Sonic's pointing at the screen: Sonic 1's Sonic is practically jumping at you. Sonic 4's...well he's there I guess. Nothing takes advantage of the new hardware in the slightest. I remember playign Klonoa 2 and shooting through all the backdrops. That shit was crazy. This is tame. The homing attack isn't needed. Sega must think I'm borderline retarded to give me a homing attack and a giant red target. Fuck you. It doesn't even work right all the time. Sometimes he'll randomly shoot at thin air when there's nothing around. Sometimes he'll shoot offscreen at something I didn't see, cause the fucking camera is zoomed all the way in. Oh, and playing this on a 4:3 TV is just miserable. I didn't move my Wii to the HD TV in the living room, but I don't care. This sucks. Sonic uncurls when he rolls off a ledge, too. No, fuck you video game. I rolled off the ledge. Keep me in a ball. I rolled off the ramp. Keep me in the fucking ball so I can kill the enemies without using your shitty fucking homing attack, you patronizing fuckhead. The worst part is that this game isn't even awful. It's just mediocre. Sega can't even properly disappoint me anymore. At least with Unleashed I could laugh at the shitty Werehog:Hedgehog game ratio and retarded concepts. This game can't even give me that. It just makes me bitter. Sega made a Sonic game that functions...and that's it. Congratulating Sega for that is like congratulating your grandparents for going a whole day without shitting themselves; everyone else can do it too, now hurry up and die. $15 for a fraction of a C- game (at best) is a joke. Fuck you. I had some optimism for Sonic Colors, but I really don't care about this franchise anymore, and Sega's spoiled pretty much any good will I had towards them
  2. Depends. Some people feel sad realizing they dumped a huge chunk of their library. Then again, I haven't paid for a game in...a really long time. If you aren't emotionally attached to those games, yea, the DS is pretty much the best thing to happen to me since that time I got to second base while playing Dynasty Warriors 3 without anyone else in the room noticing. Wait, what were we talking about? Oh. Right. The DS' library is fucking huge and packed with so many great stuff. You're looking at, what, 6 years of greatness? Okay, 4 and a half, but it's still a gigantic library. Aero! Make sure to give The World Ends With You a spin! Oh! Oh! And Mario and Luigi 3! You can skip the second one (not very good, and not important), but the third one is terrific. That game ranks among my favorite RPGs, ever. If that game was a woman, I would date it, fuck it every night, marry it, get a divorce, then beg it to take me back.
  3. Panty and Stocking premiered this afternoon. Haven't actually laughed out loud at an anime in a long time. Fantastic animation too. Pretty western too, from the 30 second intro to the "two shorts in one half hour" structure. Gainax, you've done it again. Only show that I plan on watching all the way through this year. First short doesn't get good till the final fight, second one starts off great and just keeps ramping it up. The police chase is pretty hilarious. Bonus points if you spot the Thelma and Louise reference.
  4. Or you could ask the Norwegian King to change it! Though he's not very partial towards Sonic...
  5. Too many remakes and ports. Not enough new games to justify $300 yet. The AR camera game is pretty neat though.
  6. Not a whole lot of movement above the waist. Slight arm bouncing, quills blowing, stuff like that.
  7. I kinda gave up on anime at the moment. It's really hit a slump hard and I don't know if it'll be digging itself out of this rut anytime soon. So much of it is either fetishes like moe or giant tits, or just shows with bland story and bland characters. K-On's the big shit everyone's freaking out over in Japan right now, which speaks volumes for the rest of the industry... The last show that really had any kind of impression on me was Bakemonogatari, and that was mostly for style. Excluding that, I haven't really dug an anime since I watched Baccano sometime post-Gurren Lagann Movie 1. Thanks for the links though. I'll keep them saved if anything pops out at me next season. EDIT: The new Pokemon anime started and everyone looks hideous. Also Pikachu got reset again. For some reason that always upsets me, but now I'm too focused on Ash's dilated eyes and Officer Jenny looking...awful...that I'm over it. Not that Pokemon is a shining beacon of Japanese animation, I just wanted to complain about ugly cartoons.
  8. Three people IMed me that today. Whenever I hate something hard enough, everyone just forwards all news updates to me so I have something to be happy/cranky about. I'm glad she was finally Dunaway with. Sad because I won't be able to use that joke anymore. I'd like to think it's because no one fucking liked her, neither the audience or press. Each E3 was like "how can we tone this bitch down without outright firing her?" And so this year she was left in Washington to man the livestream after it was all over. She then went back to the kitchen to make Reggie a sandwich, cause dammit, Reggie worked up an appetite fucking all dem bitches he hired to show off the DSi. This is how Nintendo practices actually work.
  9. Where? Which post? I made several. THE BEER D-PAD THING IS REAL. IT'S A REALLY THING THAT WAS REALLY SHOWN IN THE REAL DEMO, REALLY. So...did they work on it for 12 years or 3-4? And when did I ever crunch any numbers? All I said is that they max leveled their WoW characters with the implication that any neckbeard with that much time could have put it towards a project in the hopes of completing it in under a decade. IT IS YOU WHO IS THE TOM, FOOL.
  10. It's different this time because Gearbox is finishing it. And they actually make games. Also you're a jerk EDIT: Also I liked this article: http://www.gamesradar.com/f/why-the-12-year-delay-has-actually-been-good-for-duke-nukem-forever/a-2010090612486464080
  11. FF14 folder > Downloads>ffxivbeta>one of the two folders>metainfo (if the torrent files aren't the latest date, you picked the wrong folder. Also if you haven't been updating regularly you might need to run multiple torrents)
  12. That's because the final boss is Virginity, and no amount of wacking will get rid of it. Go outside, meet bitches, and don't give Square money. That's who you beat FFXIV from what I can tell. It's been doing everything in its power to convince me to not pay money for it. The updater fucking sucks. Open your beta folder and look for the torrent files. The updater froze at 94% the other day for over an hour. Utorrent downloaded the patch in a minute. The interface is clearly designed for gamepads. This is evidenced by the fact that the menus fucking suck, and the game uses a software mouse with awkward lag. The game limits your quests, limits how much you can grind a class, limits item gathering (it literally delays the items entering your inventory after you kill something) and crafting is... I just hate crafting. I wanted to craft a dagger. You need to craft the blade, handle, and glue first. Crafting the handle means crafting the lumber which means finding the right logs (which, of course. Weren't sold at a store. A quest gives random rewards though so I lucked out and got some logs. Woo.) Once I crafted the logs into lumber into a handle (the quest that gave me logs? Required me to craft two more items. So four crafts for a goddamn handle) I was so fed up that I didn't want the goddamn dagger anymore. Oh, and I had to look up recipes myself. There's no official database. It's been days and aside from tools I bought, my character looks the fucking same. Not that I want more equips now; the inventory doesn't let you sort anything! Then outside the main town an ant killed me. I'm level 10 and an ant outside the first town killed me. Luckily there are 3 whole enemies every 10 miles, and more don't spawn until you take the quests. Remember there are 8 quests for 48 hours! Make it count! Switching your main hand weapon/tool changes classes...and wipes out your ability bar. Meaning you need to remap all your attack keys each time you switch unless you go out of your way to type out macros that equip weapons and abilities at the same time. All this, combined with severe stability problems, makes me less than optimistic for the release at the end of the month. There's just too much stuff wrong with it.
  13. Actually it's been reported to be pretty good. It won't give free blowjobs, but I've been reading that it's a competent shooter with stupid/offensive humor. Which is what Duke Nukem was always about anyways. EDIT: "BEER" is mapped to THE ENTIRE D-PAD.
  14. their updater sucks. Go in the FFXIV folder and dig around the metainfo folders for torrent files. Run them in your own torrent tracker. I was stuck updating today's patch at 98.4% for over an hour. Then I downloaded the whole patch through utorrent in a minute.
