Concerning the friend code situation, I have 3 words (1 an abbreviation) that should put this entire situation in perspective: Steam ID Number.
Based on the description of the network we've been given so far, I suspect the "friend code" will operate in a similar manner, only applying to account matters rather than account-interaction (which begs the question why call it a friend code at that point?). When I attended a StreetPass OC meet recently the Nintendo rep in attendance said you could have your info in up to 5 systems, so I suspect the number would also be used in system transfers to verify the account owner authorized it.

A cluster of heroes form a fist and punch a giant robot. Seems legit. 
Anyway, this looks to be a solid title I'll look forward to playing. I really enjoyed Viewtiful Joe (directed by Hideki Kamiya who is part of Platinum), and I'm glad that aesthetic is such a part of this game. Pikmin is also great, so all the better.

#88146 Eurogamer Observations Playing with Wii U

So Thomas Morgan of Eurogamer has written on his time with the Wii U.
http://www.eurogamer...s-on-with-wii-u
Many observations are made, but I'd like to highlight one: In instances when both screens show the same image, the Wii U Gamepad rendered images 116ms (7 frames) before the 50-inch LG screen he played on did. This wouldn't be too evident at 60 fps, but nonetheless it's an interesting observation.

In case people haven't seen it yet (you really should be reading Equestria Daily more often), here's a simply amazing new MLP: FiM ad:
There's A Pony For That
Monday the 11th: Here's a bit of fan art I just coughed up using General Zoi's Pony Creator (Beta) and MS Paint. I call him David Brony!
I could see his appearance making for a good Rarity episode.

4/10 - Nice but sounds too depressing
Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby
8/10
Good riff. Singer isn't annoying (a huge plus as I am one). The chorus is catchy. Good pop tune overall, and as I always say there's nothing quite like a well-made pop tune. Note that I'm not using the word pop in the Lady Gaga/Rihana/etc. sense.
On the less depressing side of things, here's a little modern chamber pop courtesy of High Llamas. It's from their latest, Talahomi Way. That's a big deal, because they only put stuff out every 4 years or so.

Some funny info about those Zelda games. Back then, Nintendo was interested in releasing a CD add-on for the SNES and had the assistance of Phillips for development. They had a rather fleshed-out relationship and an agreement had been made where Phillips would supply CD drives. One of the stipulations of their agreement was that Phillips would be allowed to release several Nintendo games on their CD-i platform. Therefore Nintendo licensed their top tier IPs for several games! Nintendo was not involved in development at all (and it shows).
If you're wondering what happened to the CD drive: Nintendo eventually ignored their agreement with Phillips (Nintendo was even more arrogant back then than they are now) as they had in fact been in bed with Sony. Sony was very far along developing a CD unit for SNES due to talks, but Nintendo decided to tell Sony to go screw also. Sony's work in developing the add-on culminated in their release of the PSX. Yes, Nintendo's arrogance in fact spawned their own nemesis.
To get actually on topic, dear god Superman 64.
Here's a very good video covering the events of the SNES CD's development.
The SNES CD Story
Just insert the part where Sony takes away most of Nintendo's 3rd parties and there you have it.

You are banished to the zone of silence. You are not allowed to post in this thread without a chicken and a Japaneses anime haircut. I lose 2 points if you acomplish this.
Have fun with that.

MaskWidget avatar is not wearing a mask. By the rules of calvinball, he forfits his next twentity forte wins to the person who called him on it.
I'm not wearing a mask, admittingly, but I wasn't playing the game when i called him, so the points go to me.
Furthermore, I'm in the "Zone of omnipotance", which gives me invulnerability to the next three rules and twist them to my own means.
...Or I could just win and make everything way simpler.
Winning! Duh.

kjhg53 said they want to be Rundas on the good side, so that fills up the good guy slots.
I'll be Dr. Crygor from Warioware. Bad Side.
In his own mind he's not evil, but he's a mad scientist. Doing sinister things is in his nature, but he does it for the sake of scientific progress. He's an odd duck. That's why he wears yellow.
As he levels up he'll invent new crazy contraptions. Right now I'd say every 5 levels or so, each one being more useful than the one before.

So it's real simple: Listen to the song the last person shared (or last song to be shared), rate it on a scale from 1-10 and post another song. The process will begin again with the next user.
When you do share a song, make a link with "band/artist name - song name" as the link text. YouTube or anything with instant access is preferable.
Example of a rating: 2/10 - That was terrible. The guitarist was obviously drunk, it was all over the place for no good reason. You call that a hook? It's a waste of sound!
Of course they won't all be this harsh. On that note, don't flame. You may not like the music that was posted, but don't be rude about it.
I'll start with a silly song about movies and not belonging. Oh, and there's a little Freebird in there.

They could definitely do one, but they're going to have to do something really good, A completely new platforming adventure (possibly a 3D one)
I'd second you on that one. This is the time for Retro to do another reimagining since they just did the "true-to-form with modern benefits" DKCR.
