Screw the competitive scene, I just wanna kill Hypershell's palkia!

It's nice that you still hold on to your dreams. 

Ah, the same turn double-KO and teammate heal heard 'round the net...  Those were the days.

NSMB Wii and Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom for me.  I've got lots of "new oldies" games to play at the moment, so I'm kinda holding off.

Gaming / Re: Will there ever be a action replay DSi?

« on: August 14, 2009, 12:00:38 AM »

It probably got blocked with the 1.4 update.

I would not trust ANY non-updatable unlicensed DSi card, but I would especially not do so until after someone outside of Nintendo figures out how to boot the DSi into its native mode.

I wonder if anyone knows how many patents are filed without ever seeing a finished product?

you mean like a Yoshi?

Thank you for killing any further innuendos that were popping up in my head.

They'd have no idea what the hell they were looking at.  The ZX Database notes only that Omega was beaten by a "red Reploid", so I wouldn't put much faith in their knowledge of history.

I can only assume somebody at Nintendo was listening a little too closely to the Raving Rabbids TV Party commercials.  But I think this can safely be filed under "crap patents that nobody intends to actually use".  How in blazes could anyone develop something strong and adjustable enough for all target audiences to sit on at a reasonable price point?  To say nothing of storage.

Online, ready, and waiting for anyone who wants to Brawl.  Legend, you still up for it?  I don't see you online.

Posted on: August 11, 2009, 07:22:23 PMOkay, 50 minutes and no Legend (or anyone else).  Guess no Brawling for me tonight.

and DASH Roll's ass.

You do realize who you're talking to, right?  Half the people who dream of Legends 3 have *DIED* trying to grab Roll's ass.

And I cannot be the only one who sees something wrong with praising Command Mission after criticizing boobs.  Marino alone has the rest of the franchise beat.

ZX3 wouldn't be all that mind-blowing considering that the lack of ZX is only felt by those who caught on to Inti's game-a-year factory.

Legends 3, on the other hand......

ZX / Re: Do you think ZX series would sell more if it was on Wii?

« on: August 11, 2009, 03:08:37 AM »

I think ZX is SUPPOSED to be the "ultimate power form" on the player's end (storywise, anyway), I just wish they'd given it more varied enhancements instead of just offering one new attack and nerfing the rest of the game's arsenal.  The form is basically Z1 Buster/Saber Zero with a superior roll but otherwise crappier saber, no dash roll, damage barrier mechanics tweaked to allow boss raping, and the buster shot tweaked to allow stage-enemy raping.

Complete and utterly disagreed, Flame. ZXA > ZX in all respects.

One cannot deny that ZX > ZXA in arsenal (save for Vent's Rising Fang, anyway).  Otherwise, it's a matter of opinion.

For the most part, I found ZXA to have an all-around superior presentation and variety (not to mention LOCALIZATION, you lazy bastards who silenced the first ZX), but it may not have been the best sequel.  Maybe they thought they were doing something clever with the whole lack-of-numbered-game thing, but I think reducing Vent and Aile to NPCs with Model ZX as an A-Trans was uncalled for.  They could have at least been unlockables.

And of course, there is no "super form" to take the place of Models X and OX.  Evidently unused life gauges suggest they had planned otherwise; they should have stuck to finishing that.  Would have went a lot further than GEM BUSTING, that's for sure.

There are of course, numerous improvements that one shouldn't ignore.  Perhaps most appreciated is the ability to rematch non-animaloid bosses in the minigame menu (although earning that right through Survival Road is a hell of a time).

Side-quests were a mixed bag.  The organization of the quests themselves was improved, but the one-way Trans Servers made completing a lot of them rather tedious.  Chip distribution is also horrid as half the game's library isn't even available until after you're on a Clear file.  In that manner the game demonstrates as much as the first ZX why New Game Plus shouldn't have been axed.

Oh look. Mewtwo.

Where's Hypershell?

*does zee uppercut*

YES!!!

Now give him Rocket Armor so that Special Attack = Special Defense.

Pokemon Sunday also revealed that the Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina your Arceus creates in the Shinto Ruins will each come with their respective Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs.

There goes my last lingering reason to get Platinum (I like the original Rotom)

I think I'm losing the post-midnight edge, but I still got a few sweet victories in there.

I was surprised how well I was doing as Ike.  And hell, even nabbed a victory as BOWSER in the 2.0.  Flying Slam = pjwnage.

And that one Little Mac trophy win from earlier just makes me wish taunts appeared in Replays that much more.

Gaming / Re: Super Smash Bros. Bitchslap: What Do You Want To See In It?

« on: August 08, 2009, 05:02:54 AM »

Forgive the bump, but I had an idea for the nuttiest stage yet.  For all the flak I give Mario Sunshine, I thought of the perfect stage gimmick based on my one favorite moment in the game:

-Isle Delfino.  Not your old Delfino.  Once in a while, a cannon appears in one of the corners.  Knock a player in, and the cannon fires them off the screen, all other players warp to a different location, and the player who was knocked into the cannon gets shot into the current playing field, causing dead-weight damage in addition to receiving severe damage themselves (possible ricochet-KO if they've already taken severe damage).



Also, in the music department, we need Ganondorf's theme from OoT.  That was a pretty epic tune.

I can be online again, but the comp and Wii (web-browsing on DSi is nightmarishly slow) are on opposite ends of my home.  Let me know when, and I'll join.

My, that was fun.  And I know exactly how to repeat it, too.

You know, PB, if you'd stayed on a split-second longer, I'd have rejoined.  I returned after responding/grabbing a snack and was redoing one of my taunts when you signed off.

You could tell when, in the first 2.0 match, my wife started talking to me.  It's a pity when family members cannot grasp the concept of being unable to pause.   Couldn't regain momentum after that.  But it was fun whipping your ass beforehand.

And the timer STILL hates me, even if it is 2.0.

Minor update, guys.  Somebody on YouTube brought to my attention an unwanted SFX in the Zero/Iris redub.  Blame my laziness while recording (back then I hadn't yet found new YouTube file-ripper, and their updates had broken the old ones).

Anyways, finally got off my lazy butt and fixed it.  And, since Comcast is considerably less stingy with personal web space than Verizon, I'm happy to give MegaUpload the shaft.

Latest download.
