    I do agree with this. A LOT of Nintendo's sales were those "non-traditional gamers", and I don't see them picking up a Wii U. For one thing the branding is way too confusing, so I bet a lot of them won't understand that it's even a different thing. And even for the ones that do I doubt Nintendo will gain much ground trying to get them to buy it when they already have a Wii.

    According to Daily Show Senior British Corespondent John Oliver in London it rains 363 days a year, and it's actually also raining the other two days, you just can't tell because it can't penetrate the layer of dense fog covering the city.

    I do want to clarify that, for me at least, while I think this is stupid it's all somewhat academic and I don't actually care what happens to the cheaters. To go back to the car analogy, it makes me think of this guy I know of (don't really know him) who got a DUI a couple years ago, and now his license suspension is up but they won't give him back his license unless he proves that he hasn't drank any alcohol for a least a year, which is obviously impossible to prove. Stupid policy? Hell yes, and they shouldn't be able to do that. Do I feel too bad for the guy? Not really. Disclaimer: Not saying cheating in an online game is anywhere near as serious as driving drunk.

    Yeah, the stated reason for the shorter seasons is that they can keep the whole season more or less on one continuous arc, without having to go off on tangents.

    I was under the impression the British had evolved extendable umbrellas in their arms, kind of like Wolverine but less stabby.

    Great post. Presumably wouldn't we just add another star, like with Alaska and Hawaii? Obviously they'd have to rearrange the stars somehow, though.

    My Vita will arrive today but my memory card won't arrive until tomorrow. Sony, why oh why couldn't you have included like 100MB of internal storage?

      I'm sure it does have some amount of memory, you just cant use it. The tutorial itself called "Welcome Park" is a full fledged game with trophies and its already installed. You cant even remove it, so it obviously has some storage space.

      BTW, dont start a cart game and think you can leave it as is and then put the memory card in it tomorrow. The Vita resets every time you put in or remove a memory card.

      Thanks for the tip. I don't think that would have occurred to me, but I'm glad to know not to do it.

    Yeah, I doubt this is the death knell for Nintendo. It's a little silly not to have online in Pikmin, but not really a big deal. The reason I posted this was just to make fun of their justification, which is ridiculous.

    No one's saying they shouldn't deal with hackers, we're just saying they shouldn't ban them from playing alone when the game is clearly already designed to accommodate people who want to do that. Ban them from playing with other people and the RMAH? Sure. But don't ban them from playing alone. @Dean: I see what you were referring to now with the rosebud thing. That's not really a good comparison. If Blizzard built cheat codes into the game, like rosebud, and then banned people for using them I don't think there's anyone who would be okay with that.
  10. TheMightyEthan
    That's exactly where it comes from and that does not make it an invalid argument. Blizzard made a shitty-ass decision in making it online-only, and now that shitty-ass decision is leading to more shitty-ass consequences. Just because this current result is a result of a different decision they made doesn't mean they're not responsible for it.

    No, there's the one this Saturday, and then a 1-hour finale next Saturday. But yeah, this season is much shorter than one of TLA's. On the plus side, they've already confirmed there will be a second season that will start airing later this year. *Edit* - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Legend_of_Korra_episodes

    Oh my god, my wife and I played Lego Star Wars together... so frustrating and fight-inducing.
  13. TheMightyEthan
    You can when they agreed to the terms. Maybe, maybe not. The enforceability of EULA's is still somewhat up in the air.

    I was making the point that being impatient is a bad thing. Like when people lose their shit when Steam games don't come out at exactly midnight. Or valve time in general. The kings of the digital age are well known for doing shit later than people expect. I understand what you were saying, but as a practical matter which is more likely to change: a company's policy or the patience levels of the population?
  15. TheMightyEthan
    I think it irritates people so much because it's a trope, and we've seen it so many times in so many movies that when we see it in a new movie it brings back irritation from all those prior times as well.

    I'm sorry, I can't help it. Prometheus spoilers:

    But that's stupid, and I refer you to my previous comment.

    Disgaea 3 for PS Vita is already $30 on Amazon. Fairly sure it was that low last night too, but not positive.
  19. TheMightyEthan
    Banning you from multiplayer forever? Fine with me. Banning you from singleplayer? Fucking bullshit. Dean, what is this rosebud thing you keep going on about?
  20. TheMightyEthan
    You're right, people are impatient. If anything that's an argument in favor of what TCP said, not against it.
  21. TheMightyEthan
    Well it gives different bonuses to your empire depending on how you craft the religion, similar to social policies, as well as affecting diplomatic relations. I'm not sure if there's a religious victory type or not though.

    Starcraft seems to do just fine with lots and lots of tiny, spastic units.
  23. TheMightyEthan
    There's a video in the Civ V thread that explains all the additions.
  24. TheMightyEthan
    Miyamoto says that Pikmin 3 isn't online because there are too many individual units to keep track of. What he says makes sense, because RTS games have never been viable online.

    I'm glad they went with the blind girl, though I could have done with fewer blind jokes.
