Just had the weirdest lightning I've ever seen a while ago. I mean, it was actually predictable in nature. Every 3rd of a second, on the 3rd of a second, a flash of lightning. It was quite cool, unless you happen to fear lightning like in this old Mark Twain story here...

Woohoo!!!

From GAF:

Quote:According to the newest issue of GamePro Magazine, Nintendo will present Super Mario Advance 4 at this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo. However, for folks hoping to finally see an improved version of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Game Boy Advance have a disappointment awaiting them. According to GamePro, the fourth "classic" Mario port will be of the underwhelming Nintendo 64 title, Yoshi's Story. This hasn't by any means been confirmed officially by Nintendo.

Also on the list of GBA games to show up is another installment in the Mario Kart franchise. That's pretty much all the magazine had to say about this one, but we'd suspect that it will connect in some way with the GameCube's Double Dash if it were to make an appearance.

Both of these announcements remain unofficial and unconfirmed at this time, but we thought you'd like to know. We'll have news come next tuesday, so make sure you come back.

Holy fuck!! Look what I found at Games Are Fun!! A trailer!! http://game.mairu.net/

Awesome!! Metal Gear back in the jungle! My dream has finally come true!!

God I hope this comes out this year...

I was talking to ApocX on AIM the other day and he had no idea that TC is now located at tcforums.com. He probably thought the place had vanished. Now how many other former posters might have tried to come back here but since tendocity.net does not lead to this place, gave up instead? We really need tendocity.net back.

Since IGN's list is so shitty I thought it would be nice and fun for us to come up with our own best video game list.

But let's keep PC games seperate from video games since I don't want to have to deal with these Blizzard fanboys saying how WC3 is the best game ever. :D We'll make a seperate Top 100 PC Games list in the MCD forum. ABF, you can do the honors.

The first thing we should do is list out every game we all think deserves to be on the list, and then we'll iron things out and eventually vote on it all.

What should the list be for, though? I say that we list out which 100 games we'd choose to have to play for the rest of our lives. You know, that whole "if you were stranded on a desert island" sort of thing.

Where is Warcraft III? Its just as good as SC! Idiots... though I must admit, when I play SC then War3 I find myself saying "War3 is better in every technical way, has more gameplay features, has more variety of maps, and a better map editor... but SC is just, somehow, a bit better'... but WC3 SHOULD BE THERE! High on the list!

But seeing TIE Fighter so high is really great... that game definitely deserves it... and given this is a all-console list its amazing that they put it at #11. Cool, though... its certainly in my top 10.

Civ 2 being that high is also great to see. SC, TIE Fighter, and Civ 2 are 3 of my 5 favorite PC games... the others being WC3 and Planescape: Torment (the best RPG ever, IMO).

Mentioning Torment, where is that game? Though that's more excusable -- its a phenominal game for some but I can see how a lot of people could hate it... its a unique game in some ways and if you dislike the style it'd be easy to see not liking it at all. But still... its brilliant...

On last night's show, Conan O'Brian said that the entire show on thursday will be clay animated, but I couldn't tell if he was joking or not. So watch out for that.
