Wanting a "Gran Turismo beater" from Nintendo seems a bit strange. When have they ever made a realistic racing game? It's like asking for a Call of Duty beater from BioWare or a Super Mario beater from Valve. But yeah, developers shouldn't listen to the hardcore fans. They're all a bunch of self-affirming idiots. They complain about any change and obsess over the stupidest details. If the hardcore fans had had their way, we would never have gotten The Wind Waker. The paintings in Little King's Story and little things like Adthegreat mentioned are the way to go. I have a friend who's a huge Tomb Raider fan and he got his name in the Tomb Raider Legend (or Anniversary?) credits after entering a competition. Things like that are a great way to acknowledge the fans and make them feel included without giving them any real power.

Replayability in games is overrated. You don't see people complaining about how The Sixth Sense lacks rewatchability. I think it's fine that there are games that you play through once to experience the story and then put aside. In these days of tacked-on multiplayer modes, it's somewhat refreshing.

How is that different from any other round?

Next round: all Wario Land games.

Haha, I'm glad someone read my post. I love sharing the madness that is George Maciver. I'm gay, but the part about me liking older men was just wishful thinking on George's part. I'm not sure what the point of the fairy tale was, other than showing people how mentally unstable he is.

Was it Haggis?

Or even better: "Hang on, let me just dim the lights and put on some music."

George Maciver has finally finished his second book, titled The Way of Life and The Way of Death in the 21st Century (catchy title) - and best of all, you can download it online! George is actually a pretty mediocre writer, but I'm a huge fan of him as a person, as I have a fascination with nutjobs. I've had some run-ins with him in the past in another community, where he eventually revealed himself to be a huge homophobe. After that it was homosexuality this and homosexuality that, to the point where he eventually went off and started his own forum where "homosexual pedophiles" weren't allowed to join. Clearly he has some... issues. But yeah, awesome. This book shows that there are other things that worry George, though - fluoride in toothpaste and the Illuminati, among other things. But mostly, this book is just an excuse to hark on about homosexuality. Also, fifty percent of it is made up of Bible quotes, so that's always fun.

You should combine Keyboard Cat and softcore porn. That's obviously what people want!

If it makes you feel better,* I wondered why no one started a birthday thread for you. Happy belated birthday. *It probably doesn't.

She should have had her parents help her with the lyrics. "Which seat can I take?" indeed.

There sure are some special people on this forum. No, no - they're his sex faces. I mean, just look at the second one!

No one kills a joke like ReZ.

Oh, I get it. You and he don't share the same favorite Doctor. That makes sense.

I just feel bad for all the people looking for porn. I hope you're happy with yourself.

But he's a Doctor Who fan! I thought you people all hung out together.

I eventually found it when I narrowed my search down to "Neo Geo games ported to the Genesis". I have no ideas for the rest of the screenshots, though, so anyone else, please feel free to guess now. :p

6 is Mega Twins/Chiki Chiki Boys.

I think we all know why: Edit: Not sure why you'd use it as a profile picture on your blog if you didn't want people to see it, but fine, I'll remove it.

Fine. 'Totally rad.' Whatever. The link works for me? Though I suppose not being able to find articles on Kotaku wouldn't be such a bad thing!

Kotaku's doing its part in spreading the fake rumor about Satoshi Tajiri. Those Facebook posts are awesome, by the way.

Haha, sure it hasn't. I can imagine your Facebook wall: "God, stop complimenting me. It's so annoying. No, I'm not wearing makeup! Stop asking me that! I woke up looking like this."

Yeah... I hate it when that happens... The pictures look nice.

And a 3DS around your neck. It's like you got dressed in the dark. I was going to comment on how your hair doesn't look very short at all, but then I realized that these are the 'before' pictures.

There's something different about you... Did you lose weight?
