BRslaihsgfeihgsrv;ojawdfkusfhc. Yeah this stuff is kinda like weird.. it's apparently refreshing, but not in the sense you'd expect. It's like herby and minerally. Hard to describe the reviewer said. I wouldn't bother importing it.. bottles'd probably break.

Moderation of this nature is pretty expensive though.. by having a functional (for all languages) voice to text chat feature they could simply block out those nasty words. Much of xbox live's revenue goes on support staff and moderators. Part of the reason why it struggled to break ever until a few years into the project.

Single player games requiring 2 controllers
Nintendork replied to BlueStar's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Why discriminate skill in games like WarioWare based on 1 hand? Get them to use 2 controllers and test their multitasking skills. It makes sense for them to do this.. and the system is symetrical so suits Lefties and Righties. I would expect there are some games.. not hardcore ones but a few that use 2 controllers. -
Sounds quite good actually, it would give the game pace.. you could schedule a couple of hours a week to play online with your Nintendo wifi friends.. then login hookup and adventure together. I think this is one of the games where friend codes are beneficial.. because otherwise it would be real easy to be malicous and like destroy your team mates and steal all the loot. It wasn't one of those, congratulations you found the key to dungeon level 38 was it? That'd really be disappointing if it was as you say repetitive.. while the battle structure is often repetitive the story really broke it up so much.. that's what I love about Final Fantasy.

I love it, but I really question whether they can warrant releasing a DS version and a Revolution game both based around the same franchise.. The chances are they're big projects and will warrant a full price. Who is really going to buy both? With Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy 3 already holding the DS fort I question whether Crystal Chronicles has a place on the DS. But news that the Revolution version is coming this year is great as the Revolution seems to be lacking in the RPG department. I'll probably pick this up as the battle systems for the GameCube version really looked amazing. I'm hoping for DS compatibility in game too, so for battles the screen can be clean of all menus and junk. Is this game doing what the GameCube version could not? or is it a spin-off/sequel? Seeing as the working title is the same this is kinda confusing. I've not played the Cube version so no worries here, but if you've played it already might be a bit steep to ask for a new way of playing the same old game.

Live got dissed because the pricing structure for MMORPGs, you're paying your ISP, xbox live and then the game server subs, WoW.. or PlayOnline for Final Fantasy 11. That's why it got trashed... I think as mentioned Animal Crossing.. an entire world, of villages covering the planet. all in real time.

Stop mass racism found on live? I think this may be something covered by Nintendo's parental controls.. you may only be able to speak and be spoken to if you're over 18 say. Or they may just say text chat only.. I'd prefer voice chat, so much more reliable. Plus the processing power is there. If they wanna move away from friend codes which are annoying there needs to be protection.
-
Well no, perhaps I was a little creative with my wording but you're right.. this is more of a what Nintendo could be thinking. After all... we've all been looking at Revolution being something hardware.. 3D projectors, ONnintendo and other such nonsenses. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree and it could be something like this.

You heard it right, n-sider is pushing a really deep article into why a partnership between AOL and Revolution could do for Revolution's market success. That's just a small section, the article is really deep and opens with an almost philosophical attitude to business partnerships. I think it's great.. as the article points out, the market of possible Revolution candidates fits AOL's userbase near perfectly.. AOL is a simple service, and probably one of the cheapest.. it's marketted at those who are slightly worried about the safety of the internet. But adventurous enough to take the plunge into the online world. People who would almost definitely be willing to try Revolution out. Knowing that Xbox and Sony are doing their own thing and their relationships with ISPs like BT and AOL have been pretty piss poor over the last 3 years with current generation consoles this could mean great news for Nintendo and AOL. With such an intensely large demographic users in America, a modest set in Europe though it should be noted MSN is the messenger of choice in Europe.. and the home bases covered in Japan, I ask you.. how can Nintendo wifi fail? Chances are.. this would be an exclusive service to AOL customers.. they wont get xbox 360 or PS3 support as well. I am reasonably happy with AOL broadband.. they're relatively cheap and have free tech support based in Scotland (not India.. no offense but it's tech support) N-Sider [via 4cr]

Post everytime you complete a game.
Nintendork replied to |Laguna|'s topic in General Gaming Discussion
Meteos, unlocked all the Planets, Items and Sound packs.. There's not a great deal left in the game for me to do now as far as I'm aware.. my stats say I completed it in 20 odd hours.. the game ultimately is a puzzler. You can't expect this game to keep you happy and enthralled.. but as a short portable experience it's the greatest. Popped it £13 on eBay, no regrets at all.. thoroughly enjoyable puzzle game, and without a doubt the best thing since Tetris. If you need filler for your DS collection Meteos is it. 72/100 Mario Kart DS Well the game was a laugh, and you no doubt know everything there is to know about it.. because it got hyped more than the console itself. It rocked, I've not got wifi so that replay value is dead.. but it's okay to play battle mode for a bit of a laugh at LANs. Great game, good lifespan though it's clear it was rushed for Christmas.. very polished it has to be said and Nintendo wifi is great, just don't rush it if you do get it. 89/100 if you have access to wireless internet regularly 76/100 if you don't have wireless access.. that's how important wifi is to this game. Basically there's no secrets after you've got 3 stars on every level and every grand prix.. and unlocked the staff ghost data (which are impossible to beat) Currently enjoying: Myst and Electroplankton, both recommended. Awaiting some more good DS games to get my teeth into.. -
It's a gaming forum.. they're like flies to shit Boo. And what's with all the +£400 to buy a laptop crap? It kinda destroys the point of this thread being about £100..

I don't think they have enough films in their repertoire for you to make that comment. Though I count the trilogy as one film, the third did not deliver what I wanted. I think the comic book formula is getting a bit old, the public will start groaning being force fed so much hollywood trash soon. I'll see this though because it's got that political edge and it's set in the UK.. which totally pwnz whatever HellBoy, and Fantastic Four were all about. I think this film seriously could be up there with what Sin City did last year.. dirty, gritty edges.. sinister material and solid actors.

Nintendork replied to Social's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Oh yes, someone gives up a relatively secure and local job probably paying £15,000/year for a £120 gadget. I think not. This goes to show children really do have no comprehension of money.. when I was a kid (pre £2 coin days) I used to think 50p was the most expensive coin because it was the biggest. Sooner kids learn the value of money in this world the better they'll be off. I mean, Royal Mail are bad.. but they're not that bad. -
Games from the TGS 2005 Revolution promotional video: - A tennis game - As yet unconfirmed, but Mario Tennis could come back, or perhaps a more authentic tennis tournament series could get licensed. - A cooking game - confirmed, no name but it could be Cooking Mama 2 or something - An orchester conduncting game - Unconfirmed, though Toshio Iwai could be making a game - A drumming game - nothing yet.. seems too gimmicky to me. - A baseball game - Speculation about Pennant Chase out there. - A fishing game - Speculation of 2 games currently only from BigTac - A dentist/operation style game - Now confirmed, Trauma centre - Classic Mario Bros. - Confirmed as part of the Nintendo back catalogue - A lantern based haunted house game - Miyamoto said he would like to go back and work on another Luigi's mansion, but also BigTac has spoke of a forest lantern game.. on top of this we have the Capcom title confirmed which would be based on Resident Evil I think.. but not necesarily Resident Evil 5. - A party style game - Mario Party.. others? It's not confirmed but I think they'd be crazy not to do it - A shooting game - Metroid Prime 3, Ubisoft first person shooter. Both confirmed - Fly splatting game - WarioWare pushed me thinks - Sword slasher, the best 'til last - Zelda. Shaping up nicely.. that's a good video, been under our noses so long See it here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7503797230984048423&q=nintendo+revolution

GCSE Science/Maths coursework? Typically the hardest: http://www.freestudentstuff.co.uk Don't copy and paste it, and don't tell your friends.. then you'll all get busted because the teachers DO NOTICE DUPLICATES. I did okay in my GCSEs because all my coursework is shit hot.. I don't like the exams and struggle to pace myself even if I know the stuff.. and as mentioned a-levels are a freaking shock, if you can't handle GCSEs without getting help off the internet then you might want to consider a vocational course.. because you just can't handle it at a-level. I've realised after a-levels that science isn't for me and I'm going to become a photographer or a carpenter or something.

I don't like that they target students so much, knowing that we're skint.. Effectively they could hang outside Debenhams or Costa and catch the white collar people on their lunch hour and make them feel guilty. Homeless people are in a bad situation, they're not getting as much help from the state as they deserve.. they can't get a job because they don't have an address. The Big Issue is like a saviour for many people. I don't because I am quite literally as skint.. if I were to give anything I would literally be saying "You're 42p richer than I am now, whatever you have.." There's a guy in my town called hobo-rasta, news article Fan page: yes he has a fan page I prefer to offer homeless people a drink or a doughnut or something depending on what i have over money. I love what they do in France where in order to busk you need to perform at an audition and get a license.. means no crap music on the streets.. no offense but if you don't have a job you can learn to play your instrument.

"D for Delayed." Looking forward to this, along with Syriana.. and I've still not seen Munich or King Kong and there's Capote coming up. A lot of catching up to do..

I spend about £15 on food and commuting a week, fortunately I have a cheap bus company that sorts me out for £1 per day return. I am skint and currently looking for a job, last year I was a cleaner for a few months which was quite pleasant, £5 an hour.. but they don't hire people back after they quit.

Fresh pair of Dunks: £65 For a rainy day: £35 That rainy day would probably be a couple of CD, DVDs and books that I've been eyeing up lately.. My DVD collection lacks eastern films, tarrantino.. so much actually. My New Year's resolution was to stop downloading music online.. so that'd be good. £35 only takes you so far when buying media though. Now you mention it Daniel I'd quite like one of those small Japanese bonsai trees. You do know that they get penny sweets on bulk discounts? If you buy £100's worth you could probably get in the region of 14,000 penny sweets, providing you go to a cash and carry.

Being members of an online forum, based on a computer game system I'm gonna go under the assumption many of you enjoy this show.. If you've not seen it you can watch it online here The shows nearly at an end though to make way for Green Wing What did you think of it? I think it's probably the best British comedy I've seen in ages.. probably since Monkey Dust and Little Britain which is pretty repetitive and watered down these days. [insert discussion about the state of british comedy here]

How come there was no big arse celebration for Mario in 2005?
Nintendork replied to Anakenobi's topic in General Chit Chat
Everyone in my town had Mario shirts saying happy birthday.. and I got a sticker when I bought my DS not rod red pak.. This is Europe remember, we're second class citizens. I wanted a t-shirt but she wouldn't take it off. -

GameCube controller shell for Revo remote :/
Nintendork replied to xanikseo's topic in Nintendo Gaming
It's not that heavy.. why on earth would it slide in sideways? it would look ugly. It will go in the top for balance reasons.. it's not like it is made of metal.. it's a plastic TV style remote, if you consider that the 'arms' that fit into the palm of your hand are quite long, with a vaguely weak grip the controller's weight would be very evenly distributed along the hand. Just go pick up a freaking PS1 dual shock, those things are bricks.. but we put up with them for years, why? Because it was evenly balanced and had arms to distribute the weight evenly in the palms. He doesn't complain, he gets on with it.. The batteries, rumble pack and main bulk of the Revolution's controller is located on the back. There is even a large area cut out of the nose proving this, it's where you fingers slide in for the trigger action. This thing isn't gonna be made of lead. Jeez, it is just such a hard piece of engineering for having a few inches of plastic coming out the top of a controller. If you weight the mass of the controller cord you hold up from the ground when sitting on your couch it would probably be heavier than the Revolution's controller's nose. Conclusion: Quit yo' jibba jabba.
