Silver lining here is, no more collecting. I can save money again.

Podcast Discussion / Re: Episode 300: SPARTAAA!!!
« on: August 13, 2012, 10:52:11 PM »
Great milestone episode. It's great that this was done, as I was able to think about what I was paying attention to throughout the same times of the wii's release.
I feel the Wii's awkward cycle was very overwhelmed by the massive hype of the CNN folks, nintendo simply took that "everybody likes video games!!!" opportunity more than they should have.
Unfortunately with today's gaming society, there is almost too much choice and not enough time to play everything. take me for example, I buy a new title once every 3-6 months however I'm still behind, virtual console, 3DS, DS, Wii, iPhone, Steam, mac. There is very much to play out there, and therefore gamers want more and more and more. Nintendo can only produce so much, and when they do, it's not enough, even when there is more than that was asked for.
Nintendo was a pioneer in times where they were mostly the market, but now the saturation and overgrown nature of mature gaming now populates the industry and the most talkative gamers are this crowd which demands their primal instincts are touched consistently, which nintendo's mellow nature does not do. (Chibi-robo does it for me...)
The original great titles are still there, hidden, but still there. However, nintendo does make bad moves by not touching the community interests in favor a more closed platform (a.k.a. the apple model).
Listen to RFN though really helps keep this feeling solidified. So, thank you guys for that, in my late 20's, I need it.

TalkBack / Re: Xenoblade Chronicles Rated by Australian Classification Board
« on: May 05, 2011, 03:51:45 PM »I want to thank a trailer and every single one of you blabbing on and on and on about this game I had never heard of before to make me want this badly. question though, what makes this game so desirable besides the vast environments.
There is a general dearth of true JRPGs this generation. Due to lack of content each one becomes more desirable.
Makes sense. I am glad to have at least heard of it before hand. Has been many years since I've touched a jrpg, if I have ever really touched a true jrpg.

I feel there is no need to worry, everyone who wants one will be able to get one. I doubt it will end up like Super Mario all-stars and have limited prints.

I want to start by saying thanks for reading my e-mail, That was freakin awsome! I never had that happen before.
I feel calling anything art or someone an artist is a personal emotion and opinion. If you notice, not one piece of art can be liked by everyone. Yet, no matter if you like a piece or not, you CAN consider it a legit piece of art. You can call anything in a gallery a piece of ****, but you can admit that one person looked at that piece and did what they saw, weather it was to get it into a gallery for money or it was true passion down to the bone with no other purpose at the time. Art is what anyone makes of it and is up to no one to categorize what art is and isn't. A way someone does business can be an art, or the way one manages time. That person took an actual mental agenda to those subjects to be proficient and therefore mastered it.

WiiWare - Muscle March - 4/5
I found Muscle March to be a fantastic, over the top, cooky game. For 500 wii points (5 dollars), It is great fun and extremely funny in sometimes an uncomfortable way. You have a very simple concept that is performed in a very simple way. The game does tend to be short and very simple, but do not forget how much you spent. 5 dollars... Up to 4 player madness and simple gameplay makes this game more than worth the price. The only gripe I could have with this title is the unresponsive controls, but that is to blame the controller not the game. If you can get past watching but shaking action with your characters, I feel you can easily find enjoyment out of this title. Just do not do the actual poses the character does, it doesnt work...
