Happy New Year!

Drop the trolling pseudo-news posts from "Vladimir Cole."


Alternate carrying cases for PSP & DS carts

Here's my reccomendation:

Blow it out your ass.

I think I'm done getting my news from joystiq, though it seems that decision's been made for me.

Hey Nintendo, make the switch to paper boxes permanent!

Oh blow it out your ass. Some (dare I say, Most?) of us like having cases that actually -protect- our games.

Rumor: Your money is no good for GameStop reservation [update 1]

Spaceboy, Gamecrazy is just as bad if not worse than Gamestop/EB.

@everyone else: So, where are you getting your Wii preorders done? I'd love to get it locally, but I'm tempted by getting it online. Something about a big ol' box fulla fun arriving at my doorstep sounds like early christmas to me. Thoughts?

Call for fewer game reviews, more game critiques

It's just a game.

When reviewers start doing this, it amounts to obsessive fanboy masturbatory behavior worthy of star wars or star trek fandom.

I'm sure that Xenosaga has a deep, overarching story arc that presumes to pay more than lip service to one of the established philosophical tenents, but when it comes down to it, it's not an academic work, it's a piece of entertainment. If you're seeking deep philosophical truths from a game and stopping there, then you're doing it wrong. Conversely, if you're so enamored with Philosophy that nothing escapes your deconstructive pen, then you have become entirely mired in the study and need to step back.

And that's pretty much the long and short of my point. I don't care to debate this any longer as it's really not worth the time I've already spent on it.

Too long, didn't read version: If I wanted to read a philosophic treatise, I'd go to the library. I don't need analysis of the complex and multilayered relationship between Vent and Prairie to know if MegamanZX is worth my 35 bucks or not.

Just...tell me about the game. What it does right, what it does wrong, and if it's fun to play. That's all I want.

Samus figurines drop jaws

It'd be nice if they were fully articulated.

Penny Arcade responds to our "hideous editorial," misses the point [update 1]

Girls, girls, please... Neither ONE of you are pretty.

Wii not supporting DVD playback

Nintendo gets a pass on this because, big shock, IT WASN'T WANTED ANYWAY.

Like, also big shock, BLU-RAY.

Game machines for games, movie machines for movies.

Onyx and Pink out in the US

Sep 13th 2006 12:11PM (Joystiq Nintendo)
Picked up an onyx lite yesterday, and I was impressed with how comfortable and slick it felt.

I was unimpressed with the stuck pixel on the top lcd, and have to exchange it today after work.
