Go go Namco Bandai: publisher gets exclusive Power Rangers rights

Feb 5th 2011 2:43AM (Joystiq)
They could make an awesome Power Rangers game if they tried but they'll probably gear it towards younger kids who can't understand or appreciate more complicated gameplay. The premise is a great idea for a game, actually. Maybe someone can make a more mature game for people who watched when they were kids but wouldn't watch anymore. Even if it's something cheesy like EDF, it would be fun. Heck, my customizations in Halo keep ending up looking like Power Rangers. Maybe I'm subconsciously still a fan.

12 Days of Joyswag: Splatterhouse, Terror Mask statue, and weird collapsible speakers

Pro Wrestling: A remake would expand on the original roster of seven characters and shoot for a strict "M" rating so the Piranha Bite of the Amazon can be fully realized. It would keep the hilarious "A Winner Is You" phrase from which it started a popular meme. This would expand on all the staples of other wrestling games and create even more extreme versions of pre-existing matches as well as including match-types that have been avoided in other wreslting games (for example, barbed wire matches). It would also be the only wreslting game in whihc you could kill your opponent, though it would take an accdent or exaggerated assault to do so. There would be a story mode which would change dynamically based on injuries and deaths of other characters. Most characters would come back but you could toggle an option on your create-a-wrestler to allow a permanent kill-off, forcing you to make a new wrestler if you suck enough to die. This game would be for sadists and hardcore wrestling fans alike.

I don't know. I like most of them. It's hard to choose just one. Well, I've been violent lately, so I guess I'll choose Raining Blood by Slayer.

I don't have nightmares. I have dreams about minor annoyances but I don't have anything I'm truly scared of. That said, I work at Wal-mart as a cashier and I had a dream that that annoying beeping sound started following me everywhere, drowning out anything I or any of my friends tried to say.

"Hey, how's it *BEEP*?"

"What did you *BEEP*?"

"I said, *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*."

"Oh, never *BEEP*."

LGJ: Supreme Court Decision Doesn't Bode Well

May 31st 2009 10:37PM (Joystiq)
Well, both Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly think the FCC is okay though they might change their message since their parent company is being punished in this case. I haven't watched them in the last week, so I have no idea what they are saying on this matter. I do repeat facts only that I study out and find to be true. I have doubted Beck and O'Reilly on many occasions and have even disagreed with them on many points. The expansion of the Federal government into the private sector and the gagging of CNBC are things that I am wholeheartedly against so I will spread that message. I hated Government expansion before Beck started ranting about it, but I never realized that both sides of the aisle were responsible before he pointed it out. Also, I sound a lot like Beck right now because I'm reading An Inconvenient Book. It seems it's effected the way I phrase things a lot more than I realize. Next on my reading list is Gears of War: Aspho Fields. I hope I don't start talking all macho and cursing like a sailor after I start reading that. Anyway, thanks for the reply and I'll try to stop letting what I'm reading effect how my posts turn out. God bless.

LGJ: Supreme Court Decision Doesn't Bode Well

Both Democrats and Republicans (not the people, the politicians) have been leading us down the wrong road. It can be argued that they've been heading this way at different speeds but we need to start doing our research and spreading the word not to keep re-electing the same dead weight over and over again. W asked our politicians for change, but the change we've seen is an acceleration in the expansion of government power. When we were founded on the Articles of the Confederation, it was practically anarchy. That didn't work out, so we changed to a Democratic Republic. The Constituion was made not to say what the Federal government had to do but what it couldn't do. The rights outlined in the Constituion were to be defended by the Federal government, with their only powers being to declare war and to try people for treason.The FCC is and always has been unconstitutional. It is not for the government to legislate decency, All of this should be left up to the broadcaster's individual policies. The government should have also never been allowed to own the airwaves. This gave them free reign to take control broadcast media a little at a time without us noticing until it was too late. I can understand security issues but private organizations should own the airwaves and be required to cooperate with the government only when security is in question. If you think media control is only for conspiracy theorists, think about this. Jeff Immelt, Ge's CEO, is one of Obama's advisors. GE owns NBC and their affiliated networks. CNBC started criticising Obama's policies with the peak of their criticism being Rick Santelli's rant against all the bailouts. Shortly after, Jeff Immelt scheduled a meeting with CNBC personalites and told them to change their message and Rick Santelli was forced to take a break until he could hold his tongue regarding Obama's policies. Meanwhile MSNBC has been granted the freedom to say what many on the left would regard as hate speech towards Obama's opponents. These include sexual references, racism (rarely but it happens), mysoginy, suggesting violence against Obama's opponets, wishing death or injury, etc., all of which would be unspeakable from anyone on the other side. All of this is a fact of life. Say no to government control. Stop watching NBC's news stations and call, write or e-mail your representatives on the expansion of government power. Do you research when the midterm elections come up and make sure anyone with a history of advocating further control is out on their butts. That would ba almost all of them. Spread the word and become an activist. We can take back the power the belongs, Constitutionally, to the people.

Joystiq Review: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Uncaged Edition)

May 7th 2009 1:08AM (Joystiq)
Actually, I know I'm in a minority here, but I don't think the movie was that bad. It was only when they were like, "Okay, we need to force Gambit to fit in this movie," that it started to get annoying. He showed up, did his thing and disappeared until the end. The plot up until then was very faithful to the Wolverine Origins comics (even the part where Wolverine and Sabretooth are brothers (or half-brothers?...I don't remember exactly.) I didn't like Deadpool at the end of the movie, but it does remind me of a clone story-arc, which may mean that the original Deadpool is still alive. They don't see fit to explain that, though. Hugh Jackman did a better job as Wolverine in this movie than he did in all of the X-Men films. It's clear that this was a sneaky reboot of the X-Men franchise (not really just a prequel) and, as it stands, it is probably the higher quality film in the franchise. If you can overlook the rushed job with Gambit, you will appreciate the rest the movie has to offer...or you can just play the game, which does more than the movie. Even Hugh Jackman says so.

So my only complaints...Will.I.Am should have never played Wraith and Gambit could have actually participated in the main plot instead of just being a stepping stone on Wolverine's path.
