#11104 Weekly Debate

Posted by Storm on 26 June 2011 - 10:15 PM in The Café

From what I heard, murder is killing someone after due thought. I don't believe involuntary manslaughter counts, nor self-defense.
And nor does war, in my opinion.

#9861 The mysterious HDMI port...

Posted by Storm on 21 June 2011 - 12:46 PM in Wii U Hardware

How funny would it be if we could play a PS3 on the Wii U controller!


Best use of the Wii U yet.



#9860 Dogs or cats?

Posted by Storm on 21 June 2011 - 12:44 PM in The Café

Dogs are better.

Middle East =/= Iraq.

Or Afghanistan or Libya for that matter. Or all of them combined.



#9128 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 09:03 AM in The Café

When a show or movie is directed at adult men, what kind of content do the producers tend to put into it?
What kinds of cartoon/anime most adolescent and adult males watch nowadays?

I'll reiterate the point made in my first post here: it's the change.
For once, there's something they can enjoy without being constantly stimulated, yet that still makes popular culture references. Songs with tunes taken from pre-existing ones, scenes reminding them of their own childhood (Cinderella reference: Rarity's shoe in the last episode)... Characters that have flaws but do their best to improve spiritually, and not necessarily achieve a goal in the physical world...


The point(s?) you're getting at here seem to be rather... ambiguous, ethereal and/or not fleshed out.

- What do you mean by "constantly stimulated?" And how does MLP differentiate itself from that?
- Why are pop culture references a necessary part of entertainment?
- Are you saying the songs trigger nostalgia by taking tunes from preexisting songs?
- Are nods to old classics enough to make a show stand on its own?
- What on earth is meant by "improve spiritually" and "not necessarily achieving a goal in the physical world?" Are we talking about morality fables that are meant to teach simple ethical lessons rather than tell stories? If so, why is that intriguing/interesting to a mostly adult male?



#9044 Grand Theft Auto, Read Dead Redemption Publisher And Developer Is Looking At...

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:50 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Third parties rarely do exclusives nowadays.

I won't be doing any leaps of faith when it comes to third party support on a Nintendo home console though, kthx.



#9041 What Consoles do you have?

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:49 AM in General Gaming

I've had all of items in the poll, but I'm good about selling stuff when I'm done with them for the most part.

Currently I have all the current-gen consoles and handhelds, with the exception of the 3DS.



#9039 Grand Theft Auto, Read Dead Redemption Publisher And Developer Is Looking At...

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:45 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Take Two has Borderlands, Bioshock, X-Com, Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire, NBA/NHL/MLB 2KX, Top Spin, Mafia, a bunch of casual franchises, Civilization, etc.

To assume it's GTA based on "Take Two is considering Wii U support" and that there were rumors of a GTA game being on Wii U is a gigantic leap of faith.



#9036 So many of us new people

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:41 AM in The Café

I'm glad I'm one of those people who can say I joined before the big migration


So you're an elitist?

Figures. Upper class is always prejudiced against the people.



#9034 Weekly Debate

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:37 AM in The Café

The war between the middle east and the united states. Are you for it, or against it?


Hard to say since that doesn't exist.



#9032 Ghost Recon Online free with Wii U?

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:34 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I wonder how Iwata's latest craziness applies to GRO's strategy.



#9031 Deathwatch goes HD ?

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:30 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Madworld actually sold semi-well (500K+) for a Wii game. To rule out a sequel completely already is premature, especially if you're saying controversy is one of the reasons.

I hope one comes out at some point, but I wouldn't hold your breath.



#9030 Grand Theft Auto, Read Dead Redemption Publisher And Developer Is Looking At...

Posted by Storm on 19 June 2011 - 05:26 AM in Wii U Games and Software

You guys are aware that T2 is more than just Rockstar, right? This says nothing about an exclusive GTA and to think otherwise is entirely wishful thinking.



#6566 Another immigrant from the 3DSforums has come ashore!

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 09:11 PM in Introduction Central

And the immigration of cool members continues.

Welcome.



#6209 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:41 PM in The Café

Clever and humorous for a kids show or clever and humorous period?



#6206 Will the WiiU support DVD playback?

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:40 PM in Wii U Hardware

Still waiting for CD playback.

Bummer. I wanted to have more fun with it.



#6198 Ghost Recon Online free with Wii U?

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:34 PM in Wii U Games and Software

You obviously haven't seen Cave Story on the DSiware shop, the Wiiware shop, and the 3DS version.


Corporate F2P game =/= Indie F2P game.

One has a corporate strategy planned around it involving the use of hooking players with a free copy and extracting money through microtransactions. The other wants to have everyone play it and can't release it for free (on consoles/handhelds) because of licensing issues.



#6184 Hello WiiUforums! Another 3dsforums member.

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:27 PM in Introduction Central

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Are you white by any chance? If so, do you enjoy clams?



#6183 Ghost Recon Online free with Wii U?

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:26 PM in Wii U Games and Software

so Ubisoft is gonna make a killing with that game


You know it's an F2P game, right?



#6181 Ban the last poster!

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:25 PM in Roleplay and Forum Games

Banned for pretending the name Wii U exists.



#6179 Hello WiiUforums! Another 3dsforums member.

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:23 PM in Introduction Central

He's a liar. It clearly refers to that.



#6178 Ghost Recon Online free with Wii U?

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:23 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Depends.

Does the online allow for seamless and frequent microtransactions? If so, yeah.



#6170 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:18 PM in The Café

Why is it fun to watch for a teenage male?



#6163 Hello WiiUforums! Another 3dsforums member.

Posted by Storm on 14 June 2011 - 01:16 PM in Introduction Central

I would remember a name like that. But I do not, so hello for the first time.
