You have to burn the rope wasn't about the song.

It was about the reaction you get from a game that gives you a method of attack, tells you a boss is coming, tells you the attack doesn't work, and then tells you the only way to kill the boss.

When I played it, my first reaction was "Wait, this is it? You can really ONLY burn the rope? You can't even die?"

Anyone who thinks it was all about the song is wrong, and the song is NOT why it is a finalist.

Mr ESC,
I read an interesting ariticle regarding who buys rap music nowadays.

The article basically said that while rap/hiphop music is typically associated with black youth, whites actually make up over 50% of the sales :D

I am happy with who I am, I am just mad that other people who don't know who I am will throw me into the same category as him because of us being the same race.

Yep, its stereotyping, but it happens all the time.

To you he represents himself, but to a lot of people, they see black popular culture (Music Artists, Athletes) and thats the most interaction they have with the black community.

Its kinda like the way there is now extreme prejudice against muslims because of the radical muslims.

This makes me ashamed to be black.

I mean seriously, this is the type of guy that is popular in terms of black entertainment? Does he have any musical talent, or even the ability to speak properly?

Guys, I wouldn't install this unless you have somewhat of an idea on how it and the Wii works.

People who are new to homebrew should read up before indulging themselves in the region free goodness that this provides.

Just a warning, as this is the first main menu replacement that has ever been released, and I have already heard some people on some forums that this is PAL only.

Well, I don't have a monitor on my wall.

Okay, unfortunately, I refuse to give them props because they are trying some new tech to make dismemberment look nice.

Thats like saying "This game is aweful, but the lighting effects are incredible!"

If I am playing an Afro Samurai, I am playing it because its an Afro Samurai game.

Sure, I might play Doom 3, or Crysis, or something else because of graphics, but I don't want the Afro Samurai game to be some lame tech demo.

I want something that is inspired by the anime. And remember, Ninja Gaiden isn't famous for the blood, or the disemberment, its mainly known for hardcore difficulty.

Games need more than fancy effects.
HDRL? NO.
Portal Gun? YES
Geometry Shaders? DirectX10? NO.

Just look at the Wii. Its a success, without trying to break the technology barrier every 5 seconds.

Oh, I am ranting... [/rant]

Unless they can make a game that captures the essence of the anime, I would rather them not make one.

For example, the PS3/XBOX360 Naruto game actually LOOKS like the anime, moves like the anime, etc.

This....doesn't...feel..like..afro.samrai...

Not badass enough. Looks like a poormans ninja gaiden.

Okay, since this NEEDS to be a joke....

How many shots were fired during the video?
How many different gas mask pictures are there?
How many times did they flash that one gasmask guy at the end?
Where was the random WWII looking background picture taken?
How many different sound effects/voice clips were used?

How many seconds in Adobe Premiere did this take to make?
Why was the music the best part?
