...I'm basically wondering if it would be possible for someone, say Blizzard, to make a spectawesulum Mario based strategy game. I'm thinking it would need to be real time or something, and it would totally use the remote.

I'd totally control the koopa troop.

I've got it bad... so far this year I've bought over 60 games (at least, probably a bit more than that), and two consoles. ... and I want like five more...

... "but how do you play them all?" Ah, simple! I don't! :D ... okay I'll play them a bit, but most of them just get put down to maybe play sometime. By now I justify it mostly by saying "I'm getting them as much just to HAVE them as I am to actually PLAY them".... which is a reasonable point, though when I don't have much money, have even less income, and keep buying piles of old games... well, I need more money. :D

Just within the last year...

July '05: SNES. I'm up to 35 games.
January '06: PSX. 29 games already... ack...
May '06: Genesis. 21 games now. Less money has been spent here than on the SNES or PSX though... cheaper console ($40 for the SNES with just a controller, $21 for Genesis with two games and a controller), and many cheaper games too.

... and now I'm interested in a Saturn (though that's probably not realistic), Dreamcast (just $40 for a console with controller, memory card, and a couple of games...), and PS2 ($85 for just console, controller, and memory card, or $100 for that with two games)... and I've only got like $400 at the moment, having spent upwards of $300 since getting home from college. Pawn shops and local gaming stores are a mixed blessing. On the one hand now I have all this cool stuff, but on the other hand... well look at all that money gone... :D (well some of that went to Gamestop and EB too, of course, but not nearly all...)

This is a battle of vices!

I vote gluttony! I stay at home rather than trying to get a date because there's still some cold macaroni and cheese sitting on a shelf in the fridge that you "need to take care of"!

We'll see lazy's inevitable response.

This is hilarious, his alternative is basically "I calls them like I see them, facts be damned!"

Why bother formulating some protocal to eliminate tester bias when that might run the risk of disproving your hypothesis? Pfft! That's the problem with the scientific method! They can't prove the amazing things I can with my new method! For example, lead floats on water! I proved it, right there! Let's see "scientists" do that!

I'll prove my postulate true if it's the last thing I do!

Comedy gold. Love the onion.

Happy birthday <3

Oh yeah, and the latest on the PS3 price: Expected to be 73,000 yen in Japan. That's $650... :)

Here's a gem: "Nobody shoots anyone in the face unless they are a hitman or a video gamer"

What an odd claim to make. Does he have evidence to back this up?

You guys may have already talked about this, but I just read it today.

StarCraft Ghost was indefinately postponed. I knew it had been cancelled for GameCube, but I was still looking forward to playing it on Xbox. I doubt it will ever be released now... Wonder if we'll ever see a StarCraft 2 RTS game (not that I even have time to play War3...)

Watch this guy bust a beat on the drums... on a Creative keyboard.

It's funny because he's a middle-aged Japanese guy, but I was pretty impressed besides.
