"And I liked it."

That's both cool and disturbing. If your goal was to take all of the cute out of Venusaur, I'd say you've succeeded.

Oh, man, this is awkward. I've been dating your hand too.

There's an article about this in the latest issue of Edge. It mentions how they're replacing the composer from the previous games (he's working on the new Assassin's Creed, so that may be why), as well as the voices of Diana and 47. Though the part about Bateson not returning as 47 isn't a direct quote and the official response right now seems to be "no comment", so there may still be hope. I'm already annoyed by how they decided to replace the voice of Diana after three games. 47 will apparently be more agile in this game, and he'll actually be able to sneak this time, rather than just walk around like a robot. So that's nice. The all-seeing map is gone, and now there's going to be something akin to the detective mode in Arkham Asylum instead. The game will have "smaller sandboxes" and a "checkpoint structure", but the article also mentions how there are going to be larger free-roaming levels, so I'm not sure how that's going to work with checkpoints. Freely walking around a huge level and experimenting was one of the best parts of the previous games. Overall, I'm slightly worried that this is going to turn into another Splinter Cell: Conviction. Hopefully they'll manage to strike a balance between new and old.

StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (if we're being like that) is great in single-player. It's really varied and the story is pretty good. Though if you want depth, multiplayer is probably the way to go.

"Tied the not", indeed. I hope it works out, though. I think the standard advice in these situations is to talk to the other person. Suffering in silence won't do anyone any good.

Ugh... My first Wii was stolen about a week before they announced Super Mario Galaxy 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. That was a frustrating E3. The Super Mario Galaxy games have a lot of filler stars (the challenge comets need to go away forever), but if you liked the first game, you owe it to yourself to check out the sequel. Even if you just get the sixty stars you need to finish the game, it's definitely worth it.

Isn't this the movie written by the creator of the critically acclaimed but criminally short-lived Lone Star? Because then it might be better than it sounds.

Can't it be both?

Man, you really did get over you 'Nintendo fanboy' phase, didn't you? And at the worst possible time. :p

If a picture isn't working, you can usually find it on the official blog.

Those aren't really penises, though. I'm sure if you made a strap-on out of a real penis, no lesbian would want to go near it (or anyone else, for that matter).

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is amazing. I approve. Play it with Flink the next time you see him! He can control the second pointer.

But I thought girls liked penises! I AM SO CONFUSED. Wait, what do I care, anyway? Carry on.

I think Dyson needs to teach us his secret.

Do you really want her if she's not even good enough for Dyson?

Unless they're lesbians. Girls only liking bad guys is such a cliché, by the way. Stay good, Dyson! And meet up with whoever. And stop complaining about the prospect of two girls possibly wanting to sex you up. Some of us cry ourselves to sleep every night as we masturbate to a dirty magazine. :p Not me, obviously.

If you put me on your ignore list, you'll be kicking yourself the one day I post a screenshot you'd actually be able to guess. Of course, you wouldn't see my posts, so you'd never know. I guess it's not really an issue.

Don't you dare. I will cut off your enis. :p I'll miss you, Nando... I'd add people to my ignore list, but then I'd never learn to control my anger.

I can just imagine you still posting on the forum, but with every single member on your ignore list. :p

To be fair, the announcement of Brawl was terrible too. When Iwata announced that it would be released for the Wii and have an online mode, no one was more surprised than Sakurai. At least this time they'd talked to him beforehand, so it's moving in the right direction. Maybe the next Super Smash Bros. after this one will actually be in development before they announce it!

This thread is the best place to ask for your username to be changed. Make sure to tell them to hurry it up.

We're going to have to start calling him Flameman soon.

I've had this nightmare before.

I read the trade that was set between the series and the movie. I thought it was pretty bad, to be honest.
