I like reading people's fortunes. Unfortunately, I don't get a lot of "customers".

Palm reading? Crystal ball? Tea leaves? Throw Bones? Tarot Cards?

[tornado fang] the whole damn story, just give me my beat the living [parasitic bomb] out of Disney villains with a giant key while traveling with Donald and Goofy on a quest to beat up a big Disney villain.

First game got it down pat. This Org. XIII nonsense is just clogging everything up.

Amen, bro.

I noticed that.  The art style seems to be encouraging pillow-shading.  Hopefully they will fine-tune it a bit.  And who knows whether or not it even holds for when you leave the clouds?  We really don't know enough about this game yet.
I'm sure there are.  When I gauge "story", though, I tend to look at how likable the characters in themselves are before I look at what situations they're placed in, though.  I'm the same with visuals; characters before environments (this is why I actually find MHX to look rather ugly; the environments are gorgeous but the character models are hideous).

Why are the characters more important than the plot in a "story" to you? Just kinda confused here.

I dunno why, every single con I've ever gone to except one has been fan-organized. And EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE has been nothing but fat people in lazily-made outfits glomping other people they see in a creepy way while spreading behind their sweat and their awful perfume glitter that they use to mask the weeks they've gone without bathing.

...and I keep going to them. Am I a masochist?

UGH My dad got angry and threw my Megaman X command mission I was just playing and broke it and now he expects me to re-buy it. All because he didnt have the remote to watch Doctor Who.   

Tantrums by dads are never pretty. Best solution to that problem is a direct punch to the face.

LoL, you only have to give my favorite Grant Morrison response when it comes to bringing back characters.

"They're comic book character.  We can pretty much do whatever the hell we want with them!"

Exactly. And when it comes to good writers, more often than not, bringing them back is a good thing. Silver Age characters being brought back gives a chance to expand upon their personalities and characterization, something they had very little of in the past.

it can sound like alot of media frankly.  But whatever.

Because there's TONS of media that have effeminate evil men who have simplistic goals, who speak crypticly and constantly pull power levels bullshit out of their asses and end up being defeated by the power of love and friendship besides anime and japanese games, right? =P

Personally, I thought he was always kinda stubby. Never really appeared well-toned or anything.

But he's always been a bit skinny. Here, he just seems... well, a bit badly formed in terms of body.

I dunno, for a shooter the camera is pretty dynamic.  I'm talking about whenever Pit is flying over stuff.

Still, the game chooses where the player goes and what he sees. So it's obvious there's more control.

Oh, I'm sure you will.  I can't think of anything I'd suggest that you wouldn't be disappointed in.

There's tons of good stories out there. You just gotta know where to look. The Oddworld stories, for example. Panzer Dragoon Saga. The first KOTOR. Bioshock. Phantasy Star Online's missions. Eternal Darkness. The World Ends With You. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Yakuza 1-3. Red Dead Redemption. Assassin's Creed 2. Fallout 1. There are tons of great games with tons of good, original stories.

Plus, with how many times "Saint" Barry Allen was mentioned throughout Wally's run-- I felt like DC cheated me out of something.

Barry Allen was cool, but he wasn't AWESOME. He was just the dude who made The Flash's current image and standard. But the guy who did all the crazy [parasitic bomb] like outrunning the universe, life itself, and him, was Wally. Heck, Wally's pretty much the one single hero I know who was TURNED KICKASS by the 90's. And trust me... the 90's were hell for comics. Not alot good came out of them.

What about Crisis on Two Earths? Talking Firestorm FTW!

Crisis on Two Earths was good. A solid movie. It just... well, it just doesn't hold a candle to the original concept and execution of the comic. =P It's DIFFERENT, just that.

I think there are game scripts on gamefaqs for both

I'll just play the PC version, I guess. Either that or just watch the cutscenes on youtube. I'm just interested in the story.

just saw Supes Bats Public Enemies.
Id really have to say it really does the bats supes relationship justice. GREAT justice. The Giant Robot made me lol though.(not that it wasnt awesome)

You should watch some of the other DCAU movies. That one's just a (slightly better) version of the first arc of Superman/Batman by Jeph Loeb (the last slightly-good thing he did before he went insane). You should try and watch movies like Wonder Woman, Green Lantern: First Flight or Justice League: The New Frontier. They're all really awesome.

There any translation patch for the PSP titles? I'd have an easier time to play those.

...and seeing from some youtube videos, I just know I'm gonna be dissapointed with the story, from the way you are all hyping it. =P

Uh... well, that won't be necessary. Just the general gist of it will be fine. But boy, that [sonic slicer] looks like a spoiled [sonic slicer]. I'd like for her to be a victim of domestic abuse.

This was a huge controversy over here. Was on the news for a few days, and was one of the biggest topics of conversation for awhile. Just because it went up on youtube. =P Even one of our biggest comedians did a rap music video mocking the whole thing, dressed as the students.

Anyway, not alot happens in the video itself. Just a TON of name-calling.  Commenters are either outraged, or laughing at the fact that the student will pretty much be an infamous celebrity her whole life because of this.

I have a great hatred of cellphones. Damn things distract other students so much, and when they're told to put the things away (since they're not supposed to have them out in the first place), they often snap back at the teacher with a terrible and harsh attitude. The amount of disrespect towards teachers it causes just appals me.

This is a video of a student whose teacher took away her cellphone when she was speaking in class. When she saw this, she decided to pretty much beat up the teacher and shout at her like a spoiled little [sonic slicer].

...oh, and the other students pretty much just stood back, mocked her and laughed. And FILMED IT. Here's how students "respect" teachers nowadays. Buncha [tornado fang]ing assholes.

HEY GUYS HEY GUYS

What happened in the other things?
I was too stunned and reduced to a melting pile of awesome from Nintendo's presentation.

There was some pretty cool stuff. Infamous 2, Halo Reach, Gears 3, Killzone 3, Twisted Metal...
