Was that so fucking hard you bitch? |
Pacman turns 30 today. Wacca wacca wacca and all that. I actually thought Pacman was kinda stupid when I was a kid, but I 'got it' only a couple years. Long live Pacman.
The 'HD Remix' Championship version on XBLA is great fun, btw. |
google.com has a fun little Pacman game going on for the weekend apparently. Just insert a coin and enjoy.
|
Yeah that's the coolest thing Google ever did.
|
Check out Vinyl Fantasy 7 if you liked Ocarina of Rhyme.
|
Oh I did.

In a fitting crossover of sorts, LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy will be available for ModNation Racers as a pre-order deal. MNR is under Sony's 'Play Create Share' brand headlined by last year's LittleBigPlanet.

Annnnnnd $ony is hit with a fourth class action lawsuit concerning the removal of the 'Other OS' feature. Sony removed it on... um... April 1st, but the process was optional. Well... as optional as 'serve God or go to a lake of eternal fire' is optional. People who turned down the update would have their console denied from online features, namely online multiplayer [note it does not 'brick' the console, which I find will be an important factor in a case].
If history serves, Sony is going to pwn these guys with the revelation of but a few lines in the TOS document. READ THEM PEOPLE Papers, baby. |
Beat Parasite Eve 2 yesterday. Terrible game. Well not that bad, but so much worse than the first. Pretty frustrating all around. But not as frustrating as the end of Parasite Eve. Now to finish Valkyrie Profile and do about 40 hours of grinding in Star Ocean 2 to beat the final boss.

I was recently thinking about PE and that they should make a fourth game already.

I'm hoping a big case at some point makes restrictive ToS's and EULA's pointless, but I doubt that will happen. |

And they are individuals according to our old wise men. But that's another blunder.

Good website for searching the value of any video game based a bunch of factors such as release year and ebay auctions. |
this thread has already lost its purpose
|
I dunno, there was a lot of things I wanted to post but didn't wanna make a new thread over. I'll be using this thread like forever.

Mass Effect Film Rights Taken:
Legendary Pictures, the production company behind blockbuster films like 300 and Clash of the Titans, has picked up the film rights for the Mass Effect franchise. This doesn't mean a movie is going into production any time soon, but now you know. Legendary is the business so fans should feel good about that much. |
LOL. So it's going to be terrible?
|
Yes.
Pre-E3 previews and media (a welcome trend from last year) have already begun. Vigilant posters BOLO for these and get the linking and reporting. I have a feeling this year will be interesting... |

David "Solid Snake" Hayter on Videogame Movies:
Quote:
I have my own theories on why videogame movies will never be critically accepted by general movie goers or gamers (and exceptions like Mortal Kombat has factors that support my views), but I would like to see future attempts try to crack the 'code'. |
Quote:
|
You do realize Hayter is a good writer? And is intimately knowledgeable about MSG for obvious reasons? I can't imagine anyone else writing it, imo.
I mean how did you feel about MGS4? You realize he and this other dude (forgot his name but he was a great help) had some doing with the dialogue? |
Why would you need a movie version of what is already effectively an interactive movie?
|
I don't see myself feeling as drawn in about the characters/story in a 90 minute movie as I did over 4+ games.
There is just no way he can condense all of that story and still make it effective in a movie. None. |
An expensive HBO miniseries I am all for, however.
A la "Band of Brothers" or "The Pacific" |
Yeah, maybe Tom Hanks could give some life to those flat characters.

I mean, you're documented being critical of the series to begin with (like just now) - I'd think you'd appreciate an attempt to... 'localize' it in a sense, as Kojima's quirks would most likely be regulated to quick fanservice while the broader (western friendly) themes such as patriotism, lone heroism, action (stealth and/or balls out), nuclear threats, and conspiracies would be expanded. Your gripes about the series would surely be toned down for a western audience. Quote:
