Anybody else like the look of Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom ???

Watching The X-Files. Someone was playing Virtua Fighter with the Green Hill Zone music in the background - complete with ring-collecting sound effects. I suppose it's better than other shows, where every game sounds like Space Invaders no matter what.

There's a trope for that.

Like Neighbours today.

I'm going to play Legend of Zelda
Oh you want to beat Ringo's high score?
Both players pic up a wii mote and start playing I mean WTF

Epic Mickey ios now mine

 

[The Doctor]

you'll have to tell me how it is.

Also, I can't believe I didn't know this until yesterday - Elecbyte has returned and released a new version of their MUGEN fighting game engine! It's a lot more polished and it's added win quotes (which are very easy to add to fighters who don't have them programmed in), support for high resoulation stages, and it's just better overall. Check it out at www.elecbyte.com. Still one of my favorite fighting games out there.

There needs to be a videogame consultant on such shows. With a very large salary. I volunteer myself for such a role.

I thought Scott Pilgrim would solve all of this. Shame only, like, twelve people saw it.

WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE!?

WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE!?

Some of those are stupid

random characxter in tv show you've never heard of said he bought an xbox when he clearly has a 360

 

[Lee]

The best thing about Epic Mickey is with it not being out in the states yet there are no walkthrough tips, so if you're stuck it's trial and error

 

[The Doctor]

WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE!?

 

[Lee]

Mark the fuck out.

Spoiler

Some guy in Epic Mickey just said "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."

Not played football games for a few years (coinciding with Newcastle being officially shit as opposed to delusions of grandeur)

Newcastle gives me more trouble than Arsenal and Manchester combined, if it weren't for being able to snag Crespo (when did he turn like 35 what the fuck) I'd probably have lost to them

 

[Lee]

Nintendo sold 1.5million consoles last week in the USA

 

[Uncle Sam]

That's quite impressive. What's more impressive is that the clouds are just recoloured bushes! Or vice versa.

OUTRAGE

 

[Lee]

Super Mario all stars wii has sold 4 million copies before release outside of Japan.

In other news my December preview is up

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is.

 

[Lee]

The report I read was incorrect, the correct thing was New Super Mario Bros Wii has sold over 4 million in japan alone

 

[Lee]

Gave game of the Year to SMG2

 

[Dave]

An EOY awards thread in the VGAT section is a must.

 

[Lee]

Oh I'm planning on it.

Categories?

 

[Uncle Sam]

Maybe just a GOTY thread.

 

[Lee]

I was thinking
Nintendo exclusive
Sony exclusive
Microsoft exclusive
Multi Platform
Surprise of the year
overall GOTY

 

[Dave]

Yeah, those sound the best categories.

You could go down the expansive route of adding categories but those categories look great.
