Number Six

How about Alex Kidd in Shinobi World?

Myself, I'm looking forward to not only Fantasy Star, but The Ninja and Pro Wrestling as well. God I miss my SMS.

WHAT?!? Dude, ryan, show all of us the "law" that states stores can be fined for not carding a game sale. Oh, right...You can't! 'Cause you're full of shit!!!

You do realize that only chumps shake the remote to reload, right? I just beat the game and, outside of the QTEs, never once shook the controller. To reload, hold B and hit the D-Pad with your thumb. Wanna use the knife? Hold C and then press A.

HA!!!

Sadly, R* "changing" the game had nothing to do with Wal*Mart/Target/BB/CC/et al. It had everything to do with Nintendo and Sony. Don't forget, they will not grant liscences to games that are rated AO. Period.

I've been leaning toward #4 myself. Say R* had two versions of the game: The final product (FP) and a versions that was pornographically violent (perhaps even including necrophilia, *shudder*). Suspecting that the FP would get the AO out of the gate, they submit the porno version instead, KNOWING it'll get tagged AO. Then, a few months later--after much public hand-wringing and "We don't know if it'll ever come out" BS--they resubmit the FP and say, "Seeeee. We cut out all that weally bad stuff. We're sowwy..." The ESRB, sensing an oportunity to claim a moral victory, acquiesces and grants the much-coveted M. Both sides win! IMO, the version that got the AO was never meant to be seen by anyone outside of the dev. team. The test comes when those who've had hands-on with the game so far (the IGN guys, for example) get a reviewable copy and can tell us whether anything is really missing or not.

Sadly, this scenario could set an ugly precedent: Developers pushing the envelope of acceptable violence would now have to set the bar higher with their first submission, with the expectation that they'd have to chip away at it later.

So is Neutopia a GOOD Zelda rip-off? Some LoZ knock-offs are lame as hell, others are pretty damn good (Golden Axe Warrior for SMS comes to mind).

Are the shirts XL?

Looks like fun! I'll give it a go. Just an update to my previous avatar.
