#3860 Can't wait for E3 2011!

Posted by Guest on 04 June 2011 - 06:55 AM in Introduction Central

Welcome! I'm a real Okami fanboy, and now that another Okami fan joined the Wii2Boards, I'm totally gonna make Amaterasu more popular than Yoshi. Believe it!



#81846 Books

Posted by Guest on 30 May 2012 - 09:00 AM in The Café

The Name of the Wind/The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss (they're books 1 and 2 of the Kingkiller Chronicles, which is supposed to be a trilogy)!

Who doesn't like the story of Kvothe, a tragic antihero: A boy whose parents die by the hands of a group of people thought to be fairytales; a student who discovers that there are things and beings in this world, long forgotten by most; a magician who turns the world upside down in his quest for revenge; a man that could have gained everything, but ended up losing even his own identity! Admit that sounds good! Let me kvothe (see what I did there) the excerpt from book one available on Pat's blog:

My name is Kvothe, pronounced nearly the same as "quothe." Names are important as they tell you a great deal about a person. I've had more names than anyone has a right to. The Adem call me Maedre. Which, depending on how it's spoken, can mean The Flame, The Thunder, or The Broken Tree.

"The Flame" is obvious if you've ever seen me. I have red hair, bright. If I had been born a couple of hundred years ago I would probably have been burned as a demon. I keep it short but it's unruly. When left to its own devices, it sticks up and makes me look as if I have been set afire.

"The Thunder" I attribute to a strong baritone and a great deal of stage training at an early age.

I've never thought of "The Broken Tree" as very significant. Although in retrospect, I suppose it could be considered at least partially prophetic.

My first mentor called me E'lir because I was clever and I knew it. My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it. I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller. I have earned those names. Bought and paid for them.

But I was brought up as Kvothe. My father once told me it meant "to know."

I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned.

I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.

You may have heard of me.


read it! Read It! READ IT!

#6592 Anybody getting Zelda on sunday?

Posted by Guest on 14 June 2011 - 09:53 PM in General Gaming

C'mon guys, it's a remake, and it isn't as good as it could have been. I'm not gonna buy it for the full price only for the Boss Rush Mode and the 3D effect.



#3984 Anime Discussion

Posted by Guest on 05 June 2011 - 03:19 AM in The Café

I can't really say anything about Dragon Ball 'cause I've watched it quite some time ago when I was four years old, but I can comment on DBZ and DBGT. Well, DBZ had some comedy, but the story is one of the worst anime stories out there. It even acts as an example of how not to make a story at various anime forums. I don't want to talk about GT, it traumatized me with its awesome badness. Not badassness, badness. GT sucks. Z is still acceptable, being a typical shounen anime, but GT should be removed from world history.

PS: I'm gonna edit this comment soon. Gotta add a lot of things, but I'm currently lacking the time for it.



#4564 Alleged PSN hackers caught

Posted by Guest on 10 June 2011 - 11:26 AM in General Gaming

Before you guys start ranting about cruel hackers, let me say that the word "hacker" is commonly misused. "Real" hackers usually don't brick other people's PCs and don't steal data from servers. Please remember to use the word "cracker" in a case like the PSN one - that's the name "good" hackers use for "bad" ones. If you see someone sp34k1n9 l33tsp34k or talking about h4xing n00bx0rz, it's a h4x0r brainless cracker.

Anonymous; The only army stronger than a religious one.


If they dare to attack Ninty, they'll lose. 'Cause I'm gonna found a new religion, a religion with Miyamoto-sama as god, and I'm gonna start a crusade! HELL YEAH, ANON'S GONNA BE OWNED BY US NINTY FANBOYS!



#81824 3DS vs Vita in power

Posted by Guest on 30 May 2012 - 07:50 AM in General Gaming

Someone should post off-screen photos of 3DS and Vita games with a decent camera, then you can actually see how much better the Vita games look when being played.

Yep, and post a 3D pic to represent the 3DS, please ;)
Seriously, Vita games aren't the only games that look better in real life.

Masachika Kawata stated they weren't using the 3DS' Full Power, so we will see better looking games.

I doubt the Vita's full power is used, either.



#5895 "The Wii U Controller Needs Analog Sticks and Triggers"

Posted by Guest on 14 June 2011 - 10:41 AM in Wii U Hardware

This. The circle pad is fine, but it very simply is not as good as analog. Nintendo will hopefully realize this, but I wouldn't count on it.


Actually, I start to like circle pads much more than analog sticks. Don't really know why, though.
