  2. Lack of advertisement

    in Nintendo

    Posted

    Am I the only one that finds it odd that he we are, only a month away from the launch of the DS, and there has been almost no advertisements for it. Nintendo has been running a shitload of GBA commercials, perhaps trying to move as many as possible before the DS comes out, but I have not seen one ad or commercial for the DS.

    You would think that with Sony about to give Nintendo competition in the hand held market starting early next year, that they would want to get as many people psyched up for the DS as possible. Yet if your a person who doesn't read game industry news, you might have never heard of the Ds, of if you have, you might not be knowledgeable of the specifics, so with it's release but a month away, it seems stupid to me for Nintendo to not be pushing it and getting the name out there. At the very least you would think they would want to create a hype for it before it came out.

  3. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

    I'm on the fence about the songs thus far.

    I agree. I thought Vice City music was gonna suck at first but then it turned out to be pretty decent. Have Rage on there is a good sign. I'll listen to the chat station anyway.

    I don't know, when I saw Rage on there, I immeadiatelty thought :no: . That band, at least to me, is such an asininely hypocritical band that I can't stand, and their lyrics and message just anger me. How can you sing about anti-capitalism when you, yourself, go as far as putting your band name on underwear and thongs in an effort to make a buck.

  5. Anyone know the title of this cartoon?

    Did the protagonist look anything like this?

    If so then it's possibly Teknoman. I think they used to show it on UPN, but when things finally got interesting (Teknoman fights his twin brother), UPN took it off the air.

    Thankyou. I knew the word Man was in the title, but I couldn't remember the rest of it. And I agree, when it was just starting to get interesting, they took it off.

  6. Anyone know the title of this cartoon?

    I've been trying my hardest to remember the title of a cartoon that was shown in america in the mid 90's and it's been bugging me forever that I can't remember it, so I thought I would ask everyone here.

    The synopsis of the cartoon was that it took place in the future, where man would travel through space. The protaganists of the show were losing to the antaganists in robot fights, until one of the antaganists left and joined the side of good. The men that would fight in the robots used crystals to change into robots, and the main character, the guy who defected to the side of good, had his crystal destroyed in a fight. So the protaganist force built a giant robot that would amplify the crystal's shards, so if he jumped into it, he would be able to transform into a robot again. Much fighting would ensue. Thats about the gist of the show, hopefully somoeone here will know what I am talking about and will be able to help me.

  14. Finally Tecmo brings back Deception

    in Sony

    Posted

    The second part of the Tecmo presentation was given by Mr. Kikuchi, producer of the Deception and Fatal Frame series. He briefly discussed Kagero II: Dark Illusion for the PlayStation 2. In this fourth entry in the Deception series, players once again get to play the bad guy and protect their castle from invaders by cleverly placing traps throughout. This time even more complex and grotesque traps known as "Dark Illusion" can be activated in each room. For example, an invader venturing through a giant clock tower may find himself unexpectedly pinched between the closing clock hands. With the powerful graphics available on PS2, the developers have achieved very realistic effects in the many death scenes, but this in itself has become a problem. Mr. Kikuchi is currently working to tone down the gore to more moderate levels. Kagero II is headed for a winter or spring release.

    All I can say is it's about damn time. I have been a fan of the Deception series through all 3 of the PS1 installments, and have been waiting eagerly for any news regarding a fourth game in the series. I alway loved trying to create the perfect trap combos in each room to take on the different types of invaders.

  16. Star Wars: Clone Wars

    in Cartoons

    Posted

    I've seen some of these, and from the ones I've seen they came across as shallow attempts to cash in on the Star Wars name while it's hot. Then again, maybe I just didn't get to see the right episodes, but from the one's I did, I agree with you that it was just geared to the "Oooh cool, a big battle, oooh, light saber duel" audience.

    Outside of the Thing, I still think the cast is to young. It's like on Mr. Fantastic's picture, He's young, but hey we gave him some gray hair by his ears so it should be fine. And how does Jessica Alba keep getting work, oh wait, this is the new Hollywood where it doesn't mater that you can't act your way out of a paper sack, you'll always have a job if the casting agents think you look good.

    I'm going to have to say Shin Bison, because he just pissed me off... Alot...

    His super psycho crusher where he would dissapear and then fly by destroying the whole screen hitting you no matter where you were in Alpha 3 use to piss me off so much, but then I fought Gill. With his super art that hits the whole screen and his abilty to reverse your last hit that kills him into a super that revives all his life, he ended up pissing me off more.

    You guys are nuts in thinking FF isn't in the same league as SM and X-Men. Nuts. Their stars might not be as big (then again, who was Hugh Jackman before X-Men?) but this film and the characters are huge.

    To the comic book fan, I agree that the FF is in the same league. However to the summer movie audience, it's not as recognizable to the mainstream movie goers that just go to see a good action movie and could care less about the comic ties.

    " 'Fantastic Four' is in the league of 'X-Men' and 'Spider-Man,'

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Seriously, FF in the same league as Spiderman and Xmen is laughable, who are they trying to kid when thier big stars are the Commish and the chick from Idle Hands.

    I also laughed at the idea of another horrible Mission: Impossible movie in the works.

  24. Cash needs help getting back into Spider-Man

    in Marvel

    Posted

    If you want to go back to the beginning, I believe Marvel has books that have spiderman comics in them in order, like one book is issue 1-50, one is 51-100, I'm not sure if that is the actual issue count per book, but you get the idea.

    That would be the Essential Spider-Man Vol. 1-6.

    Vol. 1: Amazing Fantasy 15, Amazing Spider-Man 1-20, Amazing Spider-Man Annual 1

    Vol. 2: Amazing Spider-Man 21-43, Amazing Spider-Man Annual 2-3

    Vol. 3: Amazing Spider-Man 44-68

    Vol. 4: Amazing Spider-Man 69-89

    Vol. 5: Amazing Spider-Man 90-113

    Vol. 6: Amazing Spider-Man 114-137, Giant-Size Super Heroes 1, Giant-Size Spider-Man 1-2

    The best part: These can be purchased for around $15 each. However, they are in black and white. But what do you expect for $15?

    Black and white, huh. Strange, because the ones I saw in B&N were color.

    Pretty simple question.

    I'm Torn between Shin Bison, because of his super psycho crusher that takes up the entire screen in SF A3, plus S. Bison could clone himself in SF EX3 and you would have 3 guys to fight, and Gill. In the end I have to give the nod to Gill as his reach is equal if not more than Sagat's, he is powerful and quick, and he is the only fighter in SF3 that can use more than one super art in a match. PLus he also has the cheapest move, EVER. If you defeat him, and he has a full super guage, he resurrects himself. So you have to fight him twice with only one life bar in a single round.
