A 1986 cartoon. With Chuck Norris. That is on the air again (... at 5:30am on Adult Swim, but on the air...) probably solely because of the current stupid Chuck Norris internet fad...
Um, kind of impressive that a silly net fad would influence television network program scheduling, but it exposes the world to this ... um, utterly uninteresting children's cartoon?
But darnit, it's got Kommandos! And Ninjas (one of the villains, in fact, isn't just a ninja, he's the Super Ninja!)! And Chuck Norris! So it's got to be good... watch it while you can! I know I am (not)... :)
... I watched one, but only because on April Fools Day they played one in the evening, and not just at 5:30am. :)
My only question is, "Why?" I know that Lego Star Wars did well for Eidos (over 300,000 sold on GC), but that seems to be much more in the GC market than Tomb Raider... this is bound to not sell well, I'm sure... particularly coming out months after the PS2/Xbox versions (of course). Low sales resulting from releases like that are why so many third parties reduced their GC support years ago...
A GBA/DS version is less surprising, though. Game Boys have always been the dumping ground for mediocre adaptations of major-console titles, and not necessarially just ones from Nintendo's major consoles... Lego Star Wars II, which is also upcoming for GC, also seems like a much better business decision than Tomb Raider is.

(I'd link the IGN article that says that there will also be GBA and DS versions and mentions the Lego Star Wars sales, but IGN isn't working right now)
I owns it, and it is fun! Minigames everywhere! For example, I've put up posters in a hyper extreme way, I've shoved a thing up a hill, and I've freestyle skateboarded mail to a bird.
Further, I was surprised to find Seifer as a kid, but not nearly as suprised as when I saw FF6's Setzer, as an adult, taking part in this weird tournament. He's still all about gambling, considering luck the most important thing to have in the competition. I hope I get to ride the Blackjack! I hope he uses cards! Well, I got to get back and lose more sleep!
So...
Me and two of my buddies were at a pool hall last night. I decided since I had to work in the morning, I would be the designated driver. Naturally, I waited until everyone had a few beers in them and were engrossed in the game before I started drinking myself. Nobody ever minds if the DD drinks when they are drunk themselves.
Looking around this dive, I noticed the only girls in this shithole were the rough looking trolls a few tables down. After commenting on this fact to my friend Mike, he dared me to approach them. Being that I am more drunk than either of them at this point, I accepted the challenge and I headed over there. I approached the two playing pool, one was short/fat and had moles all over her face while the other was just as atrocious, but not as fat. I easily struck up a conversation and challenged the winner to a match. A few sentances into our dialogue I realized these girls barely knew english. It turns out they were Micronesian and they all had metal dentures (just like Jaws, but not as cool). Eventually I got my friends to head over and the whole lot of us were having a gay old time trying to understand the subtle differences between our cultures. It was like talking to a ugly wall.
I dont know what they were doing in a pool hall because they sucked, I mopped the floor with them.
Some time later, I guess these beasts had guys with them. Let me remind everyone, I am white, and I was in a rundown ni..black neighborhood, in a shady pool hall, and Micronesians are black. So this crowd of black guys approach the three white boys encroaching on their turf. They start barking some sort of Guamian language at each other and then they all start laughing. And then I start laughing too, as if I were in on the joke. Mike and Curtis were scared. Me? I was drunk. Eventually I started imitating their gibberish and laughing, this got them laughing even more. Mike and Curtis were busy explaining to everyone how drunk I was and how sorry we all were, while I was telling one of the Micronesian guys how much I wanted to fuck one of the girls. I kept pointing at the one girl called Baranii, and whispering shit to the guy like "I bet she slides onto my dick like butter"
For some reason these guys thought I was hilarious. And they thought it was hilarious Mike and Curtis were so scared of them. The guy I was whispering to explained to us that they were heading to a party and we were more than welcome to come and continue drinking with them. I was all but in their car when Curtis stepped up and told them all "thanks but no". We left the pool hall shortly after that.
The next morning I woke up and thanked Curtis for not letting me fuck a toad.
Note: After we left the pool hall, I puked so hard not only did vomit come out of my nose, a little bit trickled out of my eyes.
So anyone else pick this up? I got it yesterday and, having worked my way up the Corleone family to the rank of soldier, I'm loving it. There have been some awesome nods to the movie too. For instance...
(in the rare case nobody has seen the movie yet)
You're underling character is responsible for many of the little tasks that need done. So far, I've had to sneak into the room of the movie producer to place the horses head in his bed. I had to whack Paulie. He heard me cock the gun so he ran, so I had to chase him down to kill him. I had to go to Louie's Restaurant and place the gun behind the toilet for Michael to use, the drive him to the docks (amidst Tattaglia gunfire) so that he could depart for Sicily. I also accompanied Luca to the bar to cover him (though oddly, you can do nothing but watch him be choked.
<b>END SPOILERS</b>
The voice acting is also excellent, and the attention to detail to the movie is stunning. Many scenes consist of dialogue that is exactly verbatim as in the movie.
