  1. Freakish. Now if you could spin your head round 360 degrees and walk backwards, you'd look a bit like this - fuck i can't find it - it was this freakish video from eBaumsworld. Freakish anyway. ________ Honda CA175
  2. Yeah, I know there's a lot of side effects you wouldn't want, like the complete loss of motivation (apart from creating music...), lapses in memory and a (admitedly nice) feeling of dazedness the morning after a particularly rampant session. BUT...while I'm 17, I do like to use this time of freedom and innocence to enjoy das herb. Providing I can shake the habit into my twenties and do well enough with my education, it's harmless enough. OR IS IT??!!! Anyway, to add to that list I say The Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd, the first, freakedelic Syd Barrett album, and Kid A by Radiohead, which is pretty cool. I haven't tried Drugks by Aphex Twin, but imagine it would be pretty spinny. ________ CR125M
  3. ...is a pretty spectactular experience. I smoked a powerful two skin by myself in my room, got over the paranoia, slipped on my earphones, and went on a spectacular journey to the sweet sound of Electric Ladyland. It was pretty spectacular, songs like "Have you been...?" and 1983 are mind-fuckingly ahead of their time and blow you away even more so when stoned, while All Along the Watchtower was aural bliss, soooo satisfying with that slide solo. Anyway, , hippie rambling aside, what other albums have you guys enjoyed under the influence of da herb. To start the list I say: Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladlyland The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (and particularly Cassandra Gemini, which is 40+ minutes of ambient epic space prog jazz funk, holy shit, with that orchestra, you feel so much more in tune with this piece when high. Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrnum, not sure if you guys are familiar with this Icelandic band, their new album Takk was just released, but my god, the blissed out epic soundscaped are the perfect stoned non cheesy soundtrack to heaven. The Doors - The Doors, seminal album, try listening to the End after a spliff without writhing about furiously on your bed... ________ ZX14 vs Hayabusa
  4. "Put away those fiery biscuits!" was a classic line. And yeah, Nanageddon is so good, the sheer general shitness of Naboo is brilliant, and that tribe... (To small child) "Is it still true, then, that you are an erotic adventurer of the most deranged kind?!" "Yes" Good times. ________ homemade vaporizers
  5. Hi, before Cube-Europe had it's beatiful rehaul (great moment), there were a couple of Revolution-only fansites that I went on because they tended to go crazy with all the speculation going round, without having to come from the anal-crevice of some ex-Nintendo employee spilling the beans on the magic mind reading flying toaster box . Funnily, they've all survived the controller's unveiling rather nicely, particularly http://nintendo-revolution.blogspot.com/ - which offered a rational but exciting look at all the crap flying around, and the guy can't seem to stop himself now even :yes: . Very well written though. The other one is http://www.revogaming.net , which I like cos it's straight to the point and puts up crap like that awesome Icarus poster and those Revo adverts without getting too aroused about it. :bow: Anyway, you guys care to add some more good sites, at least before revo.ign.com pulls it's finger out. BTW, first to figure out where my sig/avatar are from get a large cookie and have great taste in music! ________ starcraft 2 replay
  6. Voice recognition has gotta be the big selecting button everyone moans about. eg. "Change Weapon!", "Map!", um, "good dog" ________ wholesale vaporizers
  7. Hmm, I was thinking literally minutes after my jaw hit the floor upon seeing the Revo's controller, that maybe some bright spark could have figured out the bulk of the device's revolutionary aspects with some careful speculation and Nintendo's clues...Here are some of mine, that I admit I never thought of pre-TGS but seem pretty obvious now: 1) If Nintendo are trying to attract a wider demograph to gaming, they've gotta break the enforced cliches of someone hunched around a computer, controller tight in hand. They already did this with the DS, by marketing the touch screen, a more, um, energetic, intuitive and interactive interface, as the selling point for games like Nintendogs, that were of course a hit with a newer audience. Not a clue in itself, but apply the whole "energetic new way of playing" (derived in a way, I suppose, from the Eyetoy) way of thinking to a new controller, and you'll eventually realise that, just like with the DS, Nintendo would have to make it ambidextrous. Hard to explain, I dunno, but I basically think that it was obvious (but obviously not obvious enough :no: ) that the controller would come in two sections for righties and lefties. 2) Bugger, that was harder to explain than I thought. Another clue, one big A button, was a given, and I did semi expect a trigger for almost every 'wrapped-up' finger, which we sort of got with the B and Z triggers. 3) Shit, I've only got two. Anyone wanna add some more giveaways or subtle clues or intuition. Apart from this, I reckon, Nintendo should/will expand upon the voice recognition of Nintendogs to add to the revolutionary interface of the new controller. Just imagine, it's like a great big contextual button for weapon changing, view changing, maps, that sorta thing, as well as being the centerpiece of certain other games. BTW I'm not new but I just registered. Hi guys! I'm a big fan of Radiohead and King Crimson if you wondering. ________ Suzuki AN650
