AMAZING NEW TRAILER

Brad told me that there was some new amazing Mario & Luigi 3 so I headed over to game trailers to watch it.....It's good.


No seriously, Here is it. 

Wait, here it is.

Ok, fine. Here it is...

Next Week: Tough Decision

So next week comes a game I've been waiting on for a while now. Bionic Commando will be making a return on the official consoles. I'm sure to be picking up that on up, but the real question is whether or not I'll be trying Punch-Out!.

It was kind of a surprise that they announced the series for the Wii. Seeing as how the original was so fast paced and reaction based, it seems impossible to make a game like that using Wii Controls.

But then, everything becomes clear. This isn't THAT Punch-Out!. It's a game that has been created for the new generation. It will have familiar characters, familiar moves, familiar music. But it won't be what I'm hoping for.

So why am I still considering this game? Hope that it will suprise me. That there is something in these made for new gamer's games that will appeal to a long time "veteran." Maybe there's something new that will be discovered by this going back to basics.

What it might be?

We're all still waiting for that answer.

Podcast 110 Viewer Questions answered by me.... LIVE!!

Brad

Should I care about Sacred 2?

Should I care about this Sacred 2 thing? We all know Diablo 2 is in my Top 5 games of all time -- and that my recent discovery of Soma Bringer has certainly been scratching that itch, but what about a good console loot game I could play on the feed?

The game has to have great loot though. I don't just mean "many different items" either. The loot has to have cool modifiers that really affect the player outside of simple damage and defense, and the system needs to have a rarity spectrum, as well as random modifiers.

The skills/class system also needs to be deep enough so that I can encounter the same class as myself and still see a difference in character setup.

Also, which console should I get it on if I did get it? I think I heard that the PS3 version is the lead console platform. Is this true?

Should I just get Demon Souls instead?

Is anyone getting this?

Tough questions.

Let's see Cho do these roles.

Sorry, don't appreciate the Bana hate. I also think he had a lot of fun with his role in Star Trek. Bana is at the very least, a solid actor who takes some questionable roles. Check out his performances in these movies.

Chopper (2000)


Munich (2005)

One Small Step For...

I can't help but feel a certain amount of pride. Asian Pride.

Not AZN Pride, the Asian one. While watching the new Star Trek movie and enjoying it, I was thoroughly surprised to see John Cho in the movie.

I was aware of the character Asian American character Hikaru Sulu, It never dawned on me they would have to cast him in the new movie as well.

I'm not very familiar with the original series, but I was shocked when about half way through the movie, it was he that saved the day. Without mentioning spoilers, he and a few group members are sent on a mission to disable something. In a fury of karate kicks and sword techniques, it is he, the Asian actor who defeats the bad guys.

John Cho, you've come a long way from being the MILF guy in American Pie and Harold Lee in Harold and Kumar. You're probably the most well known Asian actor in America right now, enjoy it buddy. You've earned it.

David

I would also I like to point out that the original Actor George Takei is Japanese American, while Cho is Korean-American. It's fine that they're changing it up. But since they not going for complete accuracy, I would like to throw my name in the ring. Should John Cho hold out for more money in the next movie, I am fully qualified and available to fit the stereotype even though I'm Chinese American.

Oh yeah, Eric Bana....still a horrible Actor.

OMG... NO... JUST... NO

Dragon Age: Origins is well... aparantly... the "new shit".

The things video game developers of old do to appeal to the modern gamer--frightening.

Dear lord. This was in my top most anticipated of the year. What the fuck is this shit??


Brad

Happy Mother Day

In addition to all those who special women in our lives, let's not forget about one of the games we've still never officially gotten here. Some one help me find a way to play this translated rom not on my PC.

Oh yeah, Happy Mother's Day.

Has anyone seen the Star Trek movie? I'm probably going to go watch it tomorrow night, any good?

Thanks,
David

New Beyond Good and Evil 2 "Footage"

So here are my thoughts. If Ubisoft turns Splinter Cell, Prince of Persia, and now Beyond Good and Evil into Assassins Creed... what the fuck if a person who doesn't like Assassins Creed supposed to play?

*fart*

To be fair... this does get me a wee bit excited. The Beyond Good and Evil universe does have one thing that all those other Ubisoft games seem to lack: "Nonlameness".
