Joyswag: Beowulf game & Old English poem

Nov 15th 2007 6:49PM (Joystiq)
I'd base it on the interpretation of the poem the movie demonstrates and what that says about modern-day society and the media.

Mainly, why they had to use Angelina when the original character was an ugly monster.

My conclusion will be that movies today suck and hopefully games will not follow into this mainstream trend. See also: music today, music lyrics, suckage.

18,000 attend E for All; but first, a little panic

Oct 22nd 2007 5:04PM (Joystiq)
The ticket prices were a bit steep, but I made out with like 7 t-shirts. My friend also won a bundle of stuff including bioshock for pc, a pair of nice headphones, and world of warcraft setup including the expansion.

I didn't get to play all the games I wanted to because my friends and I played in a Smash tournament where we got our butts handed to us by a bunch of wavedashing Foxes. But it was fun stuff. I kind of agree that there wasn't enough to come back for another day, but Brawl was fun (damn timed matches and sudden death). The battle mode for GHIII SUCKS ASS -- there is actually an advantage for playing EASIER difficulties because you get the star power easier to mess up your opponent. I wanted to try rock band but didn't get the chance.

They really needed metal pads for DDR. I might go back next year but probably not -- I basically went for Brawl (which I was disappointed because they didn't have 'cube controllers set up and the classic controllers suck because of no analog stick). Oh, and my impressions of brawl? It felt faster than Melee, but the characters are a lot bigger in comparison to the stages. It felt a little cramped.

Joyswag: Joystiq's Legendary Halo 3 Giveaway

I'd least like to fight anyone man to man, because I'm not a man. So I guess I'd have to say Cortana, because that would make two not-a-man people in a man to man fight.

I apologize for causing people convenience all the time.

Gaymer.org looks to trademark 'Gaymer'

May 8th 2007 8:57PM (Joystiq)
The problem with trying to change people's vocabulary to eliminate the use of "gay" as an insult is that it can't just end there. You'd have to take out "retarded" because that is offensive to the mentally challanged. Also, "bitch" and even "sissy" can be sexist, so those are gone too. Don't forget "fatass," or is that just okay now that overweight people have become the majority in some areas?

Obviously "fag" is getting to the same level of offensiveness as racist remarks, so that'll probably be on it's way out. But "gay?" Probably not.

Anyway, my opinion on the trademark thing: dumb. Oops, sorry people who have below-average IQs, I meant that it's crap. Lingo should not be trademarked.

Aberu, half of those are on the 360 and some aren't even out yet. Guitar Hero III? You do know that is coming to the Wii, right?

Today's most failure-prone video: Console duds

May 7th 2007 12:23AM (Joystiq)
Watch, someone will mention the Wii, saying that it will become obsolete in 2008 once everyone simultaneously decides to stop buying them.

I'm actually surprised the Sega Saturn didn't make this list.

Rosie and Pogo.com helping the children

May 5th 2007 3:01PM (Joystiq)
#4 Rosie makes Christians out to be some great evil in society. Whether or not you are religious doesn't matter, you should still dislike her because she blatantly stereotypes people. If she started talking crap about blacks or jews or any other group in society she'd probably be dead by now.

That and she's really ugly and vulgar and hangs upside down to try and cure her depression. Even Donald Trump agrees with that she just spouts crap every time she opens her mouth.

I feel sorry for her girlfriend.

Guns may kill, but video games close second

Apr 28th 2007 4:33PM (Joystiq)
You're right, if we made guns illegal people like this would never have gotten a gun. Just like how minors never drink and nobody ever does marijuana.
