Yeah nintendo did NOT bring the fire. I'm not impressed so far. They pulling hte same stunt they did when they first announced the wii. Where the fuck are the heavy hitters??? Zelda and smash are a no show, it's just wrong...
Skyward Sword pretty much just came out and Sakurai said he wouldn't work on Smash until Kid Icarus was finished. I don't know why you would expect those titles at all.
I don't see how anyone could say Nintendo had a bad show. They showed off a bunch of games and I'm really excited for Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Paper Mario, and Scribblenauts. People are impossible to please it seems.

I had forgotten why I don't read Kotaku. Couldn't stomach it after he thought he was really cool for having sex on a Sonic bed.

Did someone say Kpop?

The only reason people justify instant deaths is because they've been so prevalent in video games since the beginning. Yes, I do think it was bad design to have instant death spikes or blocks that crush you and you die. Some games make it very easy to have the camera focused on something else while you accidentally strafe into some death trap or something. I don't really see how you could call it good design to get killed for a tiny mistake, and then you have to redo the entire level. It isn't fun, and why would you make a game not fun?
No one complains about it because it has always been that way. There are people that like games to be "challenging" like that, and they can play I Wanna Be The Guy all they want. My point is that it's way too easy to hit stuff due to a small mistake like you blinked at the wrong time or the camera wasn't focused on that enemy. If you bumped a button and it made you jump into spikes on the ceiling and you die, you have to do the whole level again.

Honestly, I would say falling off a cliff and dying is bad design. How many cliffs can you fall off during sonic games nowadays? It's just a million cliffs. I don't like to be killed instantly by anything in a video game. It's the ultimate punishment a game can dish out, it usually happens because "you didn't realize you had to push 'A' fast enough".
Obviously they had this in the Genesis titles as well, but it wasn't the source of the majority of my death. Colors (while a decent game) was a bunch of tiny platforms hovering above nothing for half the game, and I constantly lost ten lives on the same pit. I haven't played any other "new" Sonic games really, but from the sounds of it, they're worse than Colors. I assume that kind of shit was in there too.

I sort of like touchscreens for scrolling/camera control sort of things, but as far as jumping and stuff its nice to have tactile feedback.

Thanks everyone! (especially Rawr for keeping my name lower case.)

Oh hey I got married about a week ago.

Not seeing my fiancée until this weekend and then I'm spending a week up in Canada with her. Not much Valentimes planned.

I'm pretty sure the last movie I watched was Groundhog Day. Around 7-10 times. Good movie.

I disagree wholeheartedly. Earning money for something doesn't make it any more enjoyable. It generally leads to less time for you to enjoy it actually. I can't really think of a job I've had where my work improved my play.

I'm going to go on record saying that as a child, Powerpuff Girls was one of my favorite shows.

I'm sorry what was this thread about again? It seems to be about Sonic canon now.

I'm pretty sure you can get some tranq guns on any difficulty. I can't think of a time I've heard him make a complaint that wasn't at least somewhat accurate.

I usually try to get pretty decent at doing impersonations of characters in video games I'm playing or shows I'm watching. Also, I make up voices for games without voice acting and I generally read the whole thing to myself. I think it makes games more fun.

Christmas was awesome this year. Spent a whole month with my fiancee. I got
awesome clothes from my fiancee
Sonic and Tails figures from my brother
An assload of cds
got money and bought a 3DS, games, cds, and a coat.

I'm also replaying Tales of Symphonia. I'm going to beat it this time I swear. I always get like half way through and then get sidetracked by life.

I can understand why you would think I'm a jerk, but half of the posts I see from you are "wheres my birthday topic" and "heres a picture of me look how cool I am". I don't enjoy such posts and really try to restrain myself quite a bit when I respond to them.
I don't think it is a cheap shot to say that you are whiny when you post threads whining about not getting a birthday thread. It is completely fair, because it is whiny. Most of my direct responses to you have been in these threads and a few times in the picture thread maybe. I really don't talk to you much, so I don't know why you have such a strong opinion about how mean I am.
tl;dr I've said like two things to you, and if you think that none of it was justified you are not paying attention to what you type.

Weren't they a Contemporary Christian band?
They are a ska band. Steven Curtis Chapman is "contemporary".

This is pretty much all that he does, so I don't really care anymore.

happy birthday tentril
Dude thanks! No one on here has told me happy birthday for a few years. It's fine though, because I'm not a bitch.

Aren't you banned for this yet?

Yes, but when saying something like "Nintendo's show was worst" you are stating it as a fact. Not liking something isn't the same as it being objectively bad.
