This looks fun and crazy, especially to drop on your poor friends without warning in a custom multiplayer game.
What I'd really like is a level that uses a mathematically consistent version of this idea, like a "spheric" space or a hyperbolic space (the first is basically a sphere where you can't tell you're walking on one, but the latter is the real gem, where there are infinite non-intersecting lines one can draw for any one line and a given point, and cubes can "touch" several faces of other cubes at once, and somewhere Lewis Carol is weeping.
So there is this new cartoon on cartoon network, all the people in this cartoon are in their underwear, for no apparent reason. Was this premise thought up by a three year old? I mean really, I understand the need for zaniness in a cartoon, I mean I grew up with loonytoons. But even loonytoons had a plausible explanation for its wild and crazy moments. But this show has everyone in their underwear and for why? If your going to have a entire civilization walking around without pants on, there needs to be a reason! Other wise your premise is as about as sophisticated as a toddler laughing at fart sounds.. I mean seriously who wrote this? Give me a cartoon that takes a creative writing for crists sake. Take sponge bob for example, every episode is about as stupid as you can get, but at the same time the writing is fresh and original every time.. It draws you in... Like when they had David Hassolholf in the movie for example, that's fresh idea that the kids and the parents can enjoy. And theirs other examples, the boondocks, ben10, Avitar.. All have compelling stories that draw you in. Not just a stupid premise from a guy with a maturity problem.
Lets enrich our children with creative storylines and compelling stories so no one has to laugh at "poopy pants head" again.
So yeah, that exists now. Is it just me or do Japanese companies in general just not "get" this whole patching and downloadable content thing? I mean sure US companies are abusing it left and right at times, but then there's THIS.
Why exactly are things like "balancing", "spectator mode", NEW STAGES" and "New characters!" things that warrant an entirely new game instead of just as patches and content for the already existing game? There's no reason for that in modern gaming. Oh sure, feel free to release "Ultimate" AFTER the content is released as downloads as a "get it all on one disk" solution, sort of like Bethesda's "Game of the Year" editions. That's fine However, this just is abusive. Apparently, if you already bought the game, screw you, the new characters and stages are off-limits to you. Heck, for that matter, the preview advertised "DOWNLOADABLE CHARACTERS", and showed the two characters one can already download for the previous version. Apparently, those won't be getting packaged with the Ultimate edition. That's just insulting. If they want to add this content and balance things, just do that to the version already out, that people already bought. This is like those "international" releases of White Knight Story and the latest Star Ocean. There's no reason the additional content in those couldn't have just been released as DLC.
So according to some "leaks" of the characters that'll be added, Megaman is still missing. Apparently Capcom's frickin' mascot isn't as important as some raccoon with a gun.
Mind you that's a whole other issue. With Inafune gone, it looks like Megaman from Megaman Legends fame is still stuck on the moon (yeah, don't forget that the second one ended on a cliff hanger). So if they never pick that up, or Inafune never gets the rights to Megaman from them, it looks like the vast library of cliff hangers the series of series has produced are never going to get resolved. We'll never know where Megaman classic went before X awoke (as well as the rest of those robots). We'll never really know what happened between the X series and the Zero series (the game that SHOULD have set that up got retconned in the very next one). The ZX series ends far too soon going nowhere, and Megaman Legend's ties with the rest of the series, while hinted at, are never getting resolved while Megaman is stuck on the moon.
Lately, it seems that every single site that DREAMS of being a tech support forum has taken to stealing other tech support site's threads and copying them to their little forum.
I say this because sometimes I will search for an issue I haven't heard of before, and I will find exactly the same thread, with the same responses, across 10 different web sites. It's annoying because it really slows down a search if that particular cloned thread has nothing to do with your issue.
