    Don't forget where he quickly identifies all the basic elements for flying the TARDIS.

     

     

    yeah i can take that into account, but the leap is still a bit huge

     

    i mean his pirate shit had a wheel, compass etc, the TARDIS with its retro implements had some of these, which would allow the Captain to gain an idea how modern equipment works, but the bridge of that ship was very futuristic

    Artistic license i suppose, its not worth loosing sleep over. Still a decent filler episode

     

    This weeks looks very interesting

    The only thing I am possibly concerned at at this stage is if the development on this game is holding back development of a new Mario game for Nintendo's next console. The previous two shipped without a Mario title at launch and it's difficult to imagine this being different.

     

    I guess there is nothing to stop another instance of the "New" games but I'd rather not see one of them for a while unless it is based on Super Mario Bros. 2.

     

    Very good point, it would be nice to see a mario game at launch again, we haven't had one since the N64, and that game alone sold a lot of consoles

     

    I understand the 3DS idea of leaving off major 1st party games to favor 3rd party but they went from one extreme to another, i hope they get the balance right with the "café"

     

    But i've high hopes for the game, given galaxy's recent brilliance it should be very good indeed

    The spaceship was in another dimension, and not necessarily one where the Earth was in place. I assumed it was just flying through space.

     

    As for the pirates being able to fly it - artistic licence. :heh: It reminded me of what Mickey said in Season 2's Cybermen episode when he was asked how he knew how to fly the helicopter: "PlayStation"!

     

    I'd not thought about earth not being at that same spacial location in the dimension the ship was.....that works

     

    i suppose i can ignore the pirate spaceship bit taking into account artistic license and "a ships a ship"

     

    Plus if I had the choice, id want Amy giving me CPR :p

     

    very very very good point :p

     

     

    but does anyone else feel like i do, that something is off so far this season? that each episode has had a scene(s) cut that hindered the story a little?

    It wasn't a terrible episode, but i've not liked any of them this season what so ever, they've all just felt...off and i can't put my finger on why, actually i can they've all felt like they were shortened, like more of the story was supposed to happen in the scripts but was cut due to time constraints and little bits be just show horned in, that's how i expect the missing pirate occurred, the scene was chopped

     

    I'm sure any DVD releases will have deleted scenes which would improve them.

     

    But can someone tell me did i miss something with that episode? i recorded it on SKYHD and i've played it back and still think some things not been recorded some how

     

    The pirates stay on the ship right, the Captain does so because they don't know how to save his son (on this hugely advanced medical alien ship ::shrug:)

     

    Then the doctor, Amy and Rory are in the tardis, with Amy having to give the kiss of life (why not the doctor, sure he's done it before)

     

    Then suddenly The captain is flying the alien ship, that's no longer on Earth, with his son attached to the respirator, then the rest of the pirates turn up cured from their deathly paper cuts, and they fly off towards what looks like a Binary star system

     

    that's what i saw

     

    now

    1 how did the ship leave Earth so fast

    2 travel such a great distance

    3 How the *?^# did pirates learn to fly an advanced alien ship?

     

    that's too much for me

    In my opinion those are the RPG elements. Creating and developing your own character, interacting with the world as you choose... Role Playing...

     

    Japanese games seem to have blurred the popular definition of an RPG. Stuff like Final Fantasy has a bazillion stats to gawp over and people seem to associate that sort of stuff with RPGs. Football Manager is all about the stats, is that an RPG? :indeed:

     

    As far as I'm concerned, the real RPG elements in both Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2 are very strong. I don't have any doubt that the 3rd game will be just as good. That's not to say I wouldn't mind a bit more customisation though, such as weapon upgrades and armour, but those things to me don't make the RPG.

     

    I agree wholeheartedly

     

    I like JRPG's don't get me wrong, but sometimes they can be overly complex for no apparent reason. I like the style of RPG done,its a natural progression of KOTOR's style (wish we'd get a new KOTOR not an MMO)

    Its a huge shame what syfy have done to the franchise

    weather your in the SGU was good or bad camp, syfy have single handedly destroyed the franchise

     

    under their pressure Atlantis was dropped to focus on SGU, this made many fans angry who in turn boycotted SGU (which subsequently hurt the line) which is understandable,

    They then decided on a Sci-Fi channel to acquire failing WWE brand Smackdown and place that on Friday nights and move SGU.

    its just madness, 1st WWE is not sci-fi, its not fantasy, its fiction or a drama of sort and should not be on the channel, second it moved SGU to a timeslot with statistically bad ratings

    Then when the expected ratings on the bad slot occurred they used it as justification to cancel the entire brand.

     

    It all falls down to the management, the lead exec "Hammer" publically stated she didn't like geeks or the stations demographic! what sort of mad man put that person in charge of a channel catering to "geeks"? its blatantly obvious she is trying her best to change the channel

     

    I hoped when comcast took over, maybe we'd see a shake up, but nothing has happened

     

    now we have cookery, wrestling, makeup artist reality shows (tenuously sci-fi) and Ghost hunting

     

    Syfy deserves to die a death, and as much as i like some shows they have produced, they are probably already on the chopping block, so i hope the entire channel is cancelled, the only way they could alienate us more as viewers is if they started showing MySweetSixteen or Jersey Shore

     

    I just Hope MGM revive the line on another network

    In regards to the Wind Waker i offer the following

     

    with an action replay (on a gamecube only i'd say) you can access the unfinished remanants of one of the planned (and possibly even completed -see below) dungeons

    arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2006/07/4796.ars

     

     

    From gameinformer.com/News/Story/200703/N07.0309.1142.57468.htm:

     

     

    GI: I think it was right after I got a new TV. (laughs) With Wind Waker, you had to cut a few dungeons out of the game to have it released on time–was there anything that you had to cut for Twilight Princess?

     

    Aonuma: With Wind Waker, it wasn’t that we removed dungeons because of time constraints or anything like that. Actually, we thought that there was just too much volume. So we reduced it to something that we thought was much more manageable to the end user. But having released it, we heard from North American end users that there wasn’t enough and they wanted more. So with Twilight Princess, we added one more dungeon than was in Ocarina of Time.

    Seems the link is dead - lol use a fairy?

     

    but supposedly the dungeon's in wind waker were;

    To get the third pearl (and bombs possibly) but this was removed in favor of blowing up a wall to get to jabun......

     

    The remaining dungeon(s) are ambiguous, some speculation says you were expected to do a dungeon or mini dungeon to get the fire and ice arrows rather than just teleport into an island this could be combined with....

    others suggestions that a 3rd and/or 4th dungeon for re-powering the master sword along with corresponding sages were included, i'm of a mind to think its only a 3rd re-powering dungeon mainly due to being only able to think of a third sage - a Goron, but i suppose they could have had a Gerudo? or Impa descendant

     

    Its also theorised at least one would have taken place in expanded sections of the submerged hyrule

     

    The fetch quest was always intended, but probably expected to be done over the course of the game rather than bumped to the end only, after all you can get several charts before completing all the dungeons.

     

    The game is awesome as it is, but could have been much better

    I've never understood the Hate for either Wind Waker or Sunshine :hmm:

     

    but Sunshine is the only mario game i've ever sold, because for me the replay value just didn't exist, thats my issue with it, some of it just seemed a chore to do

     

    Wind Waker on the other hand was unfairly judged because people wanted a realistic Zelda, which although understandable, it didn't make Wind Waker a bad game, its actually one of the best, and due to its graphical style the game still looks good today.

    My only gripe with it (and several zelda's) is its unfinished, removing dungeons to keep a release date is the wrong idea

     

    Anyway onto Super Mario 3DS

     

    how the hell will the gyroscopic controls work? you'll have a difficult time maintaining 3D all the time. i hope its optional, or for camera controls in conjunction with holding down a button like L

    Seriously thats Greece's Pre-Order Bonus's? damn i know we won't get anything as good in the UK!

     

    I can't wait for the game, i haven't played OoT in a few years and i'm looking forward to it and the Master Quest (with fixed issues)

    I'd extremely interested in the supposed "additional content" that supposedly is included, but Nintendo normally announce things like that very close to the launch

     

    might move to Greece :hmm:

    I keep getting a few hits in Leeds City Centre, i can never decide where they are coming from though, probably a game shop

     

    But i have had them in some random places; i went to see Fast Five and had my 3DS in my jacket, got a hit of a Jap 3DS (recently used software was Jap), i also got one at Xscape while in Nando's

     

    oh and Hi thought i'd join a new board, i searched for street pass in leeds on google and this site poped up
