I was using the fact that Nintendo has at least three characters named "Star Man" (or some likewise combination of the words "star" and "man") to imply confusion.  |

I got that part... it just didn't...
Maybe it's because I never really payed attention to Kirby stuff so that threw me off, I dunno.

Steve, what threw you off was the poetic mastery of the invincible flying cross chop, it had nothing to do with Kirby or that other FRAUD from MOTHER/Erfbound. The only TRUE star in the Nintendo galaxy shines a BRIGHT, PROUD BLUE (surrounded by brainbusters, flip-kicks, and pink spandex)!

Holy crap, I totally forgot about Starman from Earthbound! That makes four Star Men in Nintendo's line-up.

Hhmmmmmmmm..........
This is interesting. Hopefully, though, you won't have to worry about Phoenix Wright being on the other side of the courtroom, since he always seems to beat the heck out of both Gumshoe and Edgeworth. And nobody likes a boss that can't be beaten (except SNK).

I swear, after this, I will not even flinch WHEN the Playtex Tampons first person shooter comes out.First off, who FUNDS this kind of shit, while Capcom dissolves studios like Clover? Secondly, who the hell BUYS THIS SHIT!!!! GHHHHAAAAAAA!!!!1!1ONE...  What business genius decided that chocolate candy would make a great foundation upon which to build a racing game? Why don't they budget for a "How to live with Type II diabetes DS" game, featuring those zany, high calorie M & M characters? PS: Why does this disgust me so much? Why can I not just ignore this kind of thing? Does anyone else here get pissed off when they see this kind of shit being made? Why doesn't Jack Thompson see the inherent evil on this kind of dog-shit, or in EA's selling its flock of bleating sheep, uh, customers, the SAME GAME EVERY YEAR? I guess on the positive side, developing, manufacturing, and selling games keeps people, including the lone five year old who obviously "programed" this abomination, employed. On the negative side, somewhere in a forest, a tree died an undignified death to be turned into the instructions and a label for the cartridge upon which will be emblazoned the smiling faces of "Red and Yellow", that eternally deceptive mask for one player in the game responsible for rotten teeth and a continental obesity problem epidemic...

Sigh. Part of me thinks this whole game was made just to satisfy some sick advertiser's fetish to see the M&M icons on a racetrack  This stuff pisses me off too cause its just so irrelevant for a candy to be in a race... and looks like a shit game. I have no problem with licenses when used well. (Kenshin as an action/fighting game - good. Kenshin as a rhythm flute game - abominable). But this game just seems SO unnecessary and just a blatant attempt to get some mindshare more then marketshare. Its like they just want people to think "M&M's can do ANYTHING" rather then actually have a decent racing game to play. But yeah, worst of all, this just reflects a bad trend in the industry to go for lowest common denominator ideas. A racing game is one of the easiest things to just "phone it in" and make it decent (since the concept writes itself) but this just looks vomited out by the developers. It's time and money that could have been spent doing something that might actually be original and more fun. I have no objections to racing games but there are so many of them now that a new game has to bring something inherently interesting to the mix. And a "melts in your mouth" gear shift mode just isn't what games need right now. I dunno, I guess there's at least one M&M fan in the world right now "melting" in his pants ;D |

[/tree hugger rant] Y'know what disappoints me the most? That there are programmers who grew up playing video games, saying to themselves, "THIS IS WHAT I WANNA DO FOR A LIVING!" Instead of making their dream game that'll revolutionize the industry, its thrown aside for a licensed property game with the kinds of insipid gameplay that gets thrown together in a half-assed fashion because they license will sell the game itself. These people, I feel sorry for them. And I want to hope that they're doing somthing with their spare time that'll make their lives happier. |

So... my DS gave me quite a scare today. Sometimes I would plug my DS into my computer speakers so I can experience the game better than it would on the regular DS speakers. When I was done and pulled out the cable, my DS speakers suddenly didn't work! No sound! It would work if I plug in some headphones or back into my speakers, but it didn't work when there's nothing plugged in. I started to panic, thinking how I would have to spend another $100+ on another DS and thinking how I could get rid of my current DS for some cash. I quickly and lightly shove my headphones cable back into the hole a few times thinking something in the DS might be jammed or something. Then BAM! The sound came back! Now I'm scared to plug anything in the headphone slot of my DS...  |

So what's everyone think of The World Ends With You? I may have some games to trade in to put towards something new, and from the screens I've seen, it looks kinda neat. 'Course, my computer sucks too much to watch videos, so I can't really see it in action... :/
