I thought ALL-CAPS DAY was in October. I totally missed it.
-
Sorry to arouse your caps. I distinguish between instrument-playing arcade-style Bemani games (which GH totally is!) and story-based less-concrete rhythm games! I was going to say something about "music games" vs. "rhythm games" but I got confused and don't want to press it. Anyway, I don't know why you got so upset. I was…

I still have a lot of songs to get through in GH1 before buying the new one. I want to get another bundle and try to get Mary to play, but I don't know if she'll go for it. Mario: nothing else is Parappa the Rapper. GH is a totally different genre anyway, but nothing (except for Um Jammer Lammy, and... okay, maybe Gitaroo…

That's also part of why a bunch of Atari designers left and joined Activision!
-
Mary's been teaching me to crochet. So far I know how to pull yarn apart and hurt my hand really bad.
-
Thank you, Mario! That was killing me. Yeah, they used a different reading of the 'moto' kanji for the name. Which is weird. I had always heard that game companies didn't want to credit their designers identifiably, out of fear that other companies would hire them away. Except for... Electronic Arts, who made a big deal of…

1. Dragon Quest 2. Space Invaders 3. The landlord of Nintendo of America's warehouse 4. Damn... can't... remember... right on the tip of my tongue... 5. Hironobu Sakaguchi was about to quit, and Square was possibly about to go out of business, so this was to be their last project. edit: bonus question-- what book by Chris…
-
...then it wouldn't be as good.
-
It wasn't that... ultimate. Fun though! 2000/2000.
-
Oh, great. Fox is back.
-
Maybe you can turn the ceiling leak and the cat puke to your advantage. If you need more microorganisms, that is. Sweater design for a book? Please tell me (us) more!
-
You mean the Tengen one? That got a really wide release. That's sad. Or do you mean an even less legitimate release of Shinobi on NES?
-
If he's a CS PhD student, then Mary must know him! The name does sound familiar... I'll ask her tomorrow. edit: so Stef, you're using organic gunk-life for tiny machines? ...How's that going?
-
That is like the most glaring glitch ever in a console game.
-
huh Someone needs to explain some stuff to me. MEMS?

DANGER DANGER http://ds.ign.com/articles/737/737770p1.html score: 3.5 (normally, I don't believe review scores-- ESPECIALLY when they come from IGN, but there's a valid point: the game contains a CRASH BUG that makes finishing it impossible!)
-
Oh, wait, I misspoke. Link's Awakening is indeed packed with flavor.
-
You mean like farts?
-
I feel the same way as DI, but exactly in reverse.
-
Let's stop talking about Ocarina of Time. While it's a pretty good game, it would be nice to have a Zelda thread where we could talk about the other games.
-
Good thread. I've wanted to replay The Legend of Zelda since my mom talked about starting it up again last week. I should take a break from Silent Hill 3 to do that. I still can't remember where anything is, so it's got infinite replayability!
-
The googles do nothing.
-
Looks like Comedy Central's running it at 10am and 2pm (eastern time), and Tuesday at 5.
-
I want to watch weird ribbony hair pass through solid objects!
-
If you make someone bored, you are boring them. Which makes you boring.
-
Both, all the time!
-
You think you're boring? I've been a double grad student for the last two months.
-
Yeah, they do. I'm sure Google will help you if you're curious. But yeah, they have featured the same character from Darkwatch two years in a row, if that gives you an idea of the kind of high-profile characters whose awkward, disgusting nude renders they feature.
-
Email is a good idea. It would be nice to talk to you too, Stef, for non-game-related reasons! It's been forever. Anyway, Here is a Yousendit link to my thesis. The link should be good for 7 days. Seriously, I can't even get all the way through this thing, so nobody should feel like they have to.

BUMP FOR NEWS It's official: Rice University has accepted my final thesis. If I can find the webspace, I'll put it online for you. I don't know what the copyright situation is on it, so I might be totally be a pirate. I don't give a fuck. I have simultaneously officially become a linguist and stopped being a linguist!…
