Basically, once you hit the PEC room, go straight to gamefaqs and get through that room ASAP.
Also, as a general rule, don't save in ANY puzzle room. Just sleep the DS.
Wii-U: Myself, like many others, will buy it JUST for Brawl and play it for years. Glue the game in for all I care, it's a brawl machine. But yeah, no current games to make me want a Wii-U.
If nothing else I hope to get more street pass bonuses.
Also, Rym saying "Big ol' dick" over and over again made me nostalgic for Why People Think Rym and Scott are Gay.
That said, lots of discussion does radiate out to the masses, albeit slowly. When it comes time to buy a new console, Joe Average is going to know that he has to figure out how to make it connect to the internet to play games and that it costs $100 more. It's not going to ruin Microsoft, but it does make a difference. PS3 did ok, like you said, but it lost the last generation to 360 pretty decisively (last I checked) after PS2 absolutely dominated.
Thanks for mentioning the Zelda remake, by the way. Link to the Past might be my favorite game, for sentimental reasons if nothing else, so it's nice to know I can ignore it.
- The trophy it is mine! I won a NJ X-Wing regional two weeks ago, and yeah, it's a pretty sweet trophy. I know this is heresy, but I am strongly leaning towards going to Minneapolis in Nov for the world championship instead of PAX Prime. I've been there before and it's a very nice city, and while I can totally swing Prime this year, this would be a much shorter and less expensive trip, so it's a lot more realistic.
- The closest I ever came to being abused as a child was being a Sega family, but I loved the fuck out of my Master System games and totally had that converter box. Fun trivia: Master System and Genesis are so closely related in architecture that you could actually take your new Genesis controller and slap it into the old Master System, and it would work just fine. There's also all sorts of overlap between what games came out on what console in the foreign markets, especially Brazil, where it seems that Mega Drive had a fucking 15-year run and was massively popular.
- I always said "eat a bowl of dicks." Like with milk, and a spoon.
- Seriously, fuck bedroom TVs. Read a book, or at least play a game/use a tablet. Never had a bedroom TV as a kid but my brother did, and I always had a theory that was one factor for why he is a lazy sack of shit. In my house we have one 42" living room TV, an old 32" in a guest bedroom/office that NEVER gets used, and a CRT in the basement with 8 old-school consoles hooked up to it.
- I am guilty of being Nintendo fanboy and am still excited about many of their games, Wii U included, but it's very sad to see that their playing it safe has led to disappointments. For instance, NSMB2 was NOT a very good entry to the series, and it hurts to see Mario be mediocre.
- I've said it before, but yeah, lack of innovative use for Gamepad is big disappointment. The second screen factor does actually result in me using the system more while my wife watches shows only she likes, but now it just competes with 3DS, and there are already more good DS/3DS games than I have time for. ZombiU was actually a very good use of the Gamepad. They forced you to do fiddly shit on the gamepad to manage inventory, nail barricades, pick locks, etc. no because of "oooo look at the fun gamepad" but because they actively decided they wanted you to have to look down and expose yourself to getting mauled by a mother fucking zombie. Camera switches to 3rd person and you nervously keep 1 eye peeking up at the TV.
My parents have 5 flat screen TVs in the house all with it's own cable box.
I only have 1 big HDTV and 1 tv in the bedroom that hasn't been turned on in probably 6 months. We should get rid of it, but that takes effort. But yeah, at night in bed before sleeping, it's all about tablets.
Big old dick sounds so much better than a bag.
I'll probably buy the PS4 when KH3 comes out. But that's after I need to play KH1 again and KH2 with the release for the PS3 this fall. Other than that, I'm cool with my 3DS, but I will need to overhaul my PC and get a new mobo and cpu.
However, the babies Mario and Luigi were actually useful in Mario & Luigi Super Saga: Partners in Time.
Are you trying to 100% the game?
Yoshi's Island is awesome and you should feel bad for not having finished it. Be eternally ashamed!
I have, but haven't beaten, New Mario Bros. Wii, Mario 3D land, New Mario Bros 2, and Yoshi's Island.
I guess I'm unlikely to beat the two New Mario Bros. for the Wii U anytime soon. Maybe when I'm old I can emulate them on my decatoncale.
Unless you've beaten more core SMB games than I have, don't tell me to have the shame. If you have beaten more than me, way to go.
