Just when I thought I was actually losing interest in video games altogether....

The Nintendo Wii came and knocked me on my ass.

Just to review, I went to IGN and downloaded all the clips and videos, pics and screenshots, and I was looking at all the consoles and games, and I have to admit, Nintendo single-handedly reestablished my faith in video games.

Lazy dragged me kicking and screaming, but I'm glad he did. :D Thanks lazy.

...we reached the magical number 100,000.

Not bad for twelve regulars.

It shrinks ridiculously long URLs to something you can actually have a prayer of memorizing.

For causing Nintendo to go dark for another few months.

Apparently, rumors are hitting that Nintendo's conference decided to focus on wiimote functionality and basically leave everything else a secret because of sony's half-assed attempt at stealing the wiimote. in an IGN interview with Perrin Kaplan, the kap'n says: Nintendo hasn't shown everything yet, still more hardware secrets that we're holding on to that will be revealed as we get Wii in to demo kiosks in stores. hardcore gamers stay tuned"

This is DIRECTLY because off Sony's 1987 tilting bullshit. I guess we're still going to wait for all the info. God knows if Nintendo showed something innovative sony would be right there to make a retard version of it.

Good news though, Miyamoto revealed that Wii will be playing DS games on the console either at launch or shortly after, i think we were spot-on with the SD card slot theory.

Quote:Bioshock is about choice. It's about exploration, problem solving, and survival. It's also about scaring the crap out of you. If you're wondering what the best game at the show is, this may very well be it. We got in at 2K Games' both to see a 20 minute demo of the game in action, and got to see a number of gameplay mechanics, as well as gaze at its gorgeous graphics. Bioshock's setting is a large part of its appeal. Set in the underwater city of Rapture, the environments are a striking blend of sci-fi machinery and art deco designs.

Yes, starring the Rayman Kids!

Quote:There were obviously a ton of great games to see -- Mass Effect, Too Human, the Halo 3 trailer again. But after finishing about a half hour of intense multiplayer action, there was one game I knew I had to see again: Gears of War. I don't care if I have to hold Cliffy B. hostage or spray hot booth-babes with a fire-hose as a diversion, but I will play Gears again before the end of this E3 -- it was that fun.

Quote:...Epic nailed the controls. They are intuitive, simple, fluid and seamless, and pretty damned fun.

Quote:The second thing you'll notice is the outstanding level design.

best Sonic game in the making?

Quote:All it takes is a few seconds of play time and the changes to Sonic's core gameplay can easily be seen. For starters, the control has been completely stripped, replacing the original analog execution with tilt control. Players control Sonic by simply tilting the Wii-mote (held in the classic NES position) left or right. Rather than positioning the game as yet another free-roaming adventure, each level instead acts as a rollercoaster of sorts, sending Sonic on a pre-determined path, while giving the player full control over movement and speed. Since the path is already set, players use the tilt function to navigate the track, grabbing items and fighting enemies at their own pace. It may sound basic, but that's what brings the series back to its original form, as it controls like the 2D version did, while still providing a 3D feel.

Eddy! :D

Well, watch this little video. Seems a crook decided to sell a product with no evidence at all it works. Turns out, this news team ran a well run experiment to test these pills that are supposed to get you better gas mileage (through strange sciency sounding words that show that they know how to make up sciency sounding phrases and have no idea what actual sciency terms they state even mean). The experiment shows absolutly no evidence at all these pills do anything. Further, the pills were spectographed to detect a chemical the stench of them suggested was there. They are moth balls. And, old 1970's moth balls, the sort that were poisoness (though the bottle says they are non-toxic).

So basically, this is a warning. Be skeptical about ways to save your money before you end up just losing it!
