Just edit the rotation in the transform window.

I love Newgrounds, because we don't let people get away with writingt like that. I have no idea what that story is about.

I've been collecting since the SNES, not that long, but long enough to have hundreds of games. Couldn't list them all here, I have trouble listing all my game systems.

Have you seen the alien homonid console game and castle crashers?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Castle Crashers created specifically for the game Castle Crashers?

Nobody believes the video! It's a fucking joke! Jesus Christ!

Plus, schools have little to nothing to do with the inherent gullibility of the people.

There was a second quest in the original.

Sounds like a Flash game to me. I'd like to believe The Behemoth is a little too creative to spend time and money ripping off Mario Kart.

It always bugged me how in Red Alert 2, when I chose to play as France, all my men sounded American, or in one case Scottish. And then if I train enemy units, they sound Russian. WTF. If you train a French guy to use a Russian Tank will he automatically pick up a Russian accent?

I think DirtySyko is pretty active, either that or someone with a high level and similar username.

Everyone who got pissed about this video, pointed out that the smart people were edited out, or said they could easily make a similar video about another country are retards. It's a fucking joke. I know the OP might have pissed you off a bit with his comments, but it's a joke.

Ofcourse they edited the smart people out, it's for entertainment. Humour being reinfoocred by the stereotype that Americans are stupid. Ofcourse you could do the same thing with people from other countries. There are stupid people everywhere. Don't get your knickers in a twist.

P.S. KFC isn't from Kentucky so that was a trick question.

There is to timeline. Aside from direct sequels (like PH or MM) they're all a retelling of the same basic story. Imagine it's like a story handed down form generation to generation. Some would be very similar stories, like OoT and TP, and some are radically different versions, like WW. There is no master timeline.

Wii Music! :D :D :D XD

All these stupid "If you want a console that is ghey, get the Wii" variants are just retarded. If you want a console who's owners don't belittle other consoles because of their own insecurities, get a Wii.

And that's pure bullshit. Even if the Wii is just a gamecube with motion control, which it isn't, that would still mean it has better graphics than a PS2.

You could have saved yourself some time and just typed, "Get the Ps3." Instead of pretending to make a comparison.

That's cool and all, but do you even get to do all the stuff from the previous games, like Kazooie sprouting enormous wings to fly around, or is it just vehicles and walking? All I've seen so far is vehicles.

I'm hoping you could use the Wiimote with Wiimotion Plus for an accurate sword and the nunchuck for a shield in an over the shoulder kind of deal for battling, and a more traditional style for regular play. but it'll probably be something stupid. Story? Who cares? It's Zelda.

I do have it on the Wii. I can't say exactly how many sidequests I've done. I don't have many stray beads, a dozen or so. I have all but 2 brush techniques. Also, I didn't finish the game yet :p

I have to disagree with that. That's exactly what led to Metal Gear Awesome 2. And although it has a good score I found it esoteric and slow-paced.
I loved the first one even though I never played MGS. The sequel had to much shit I didn't understand and the timing of the jokes was too spaced out. A good pardy should be funny even if you don't know weverything about what is being parodied.

That would work, but someone would have to start all the "ask _____ questions here" threads. I'm fine with specific question ones for now. Unless they for some reason don't die until well after the question has been answered.

Yeah. It's worst when two people make the same basic thread within an hour and neither of them get locked. Like, when it's the exact same thing.

It'd also be nice to see topic names that are more than the name of the game, especially when it asks a specific question. if you want to know how to get through level 4 in Halo 3, don't call the topic "Halo 3" call it "How do I get thru lvl 4 in Halo 3" or something like that. That bothers me almost as much as the overly ambiguous names.

I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to listen to 11 other households at once. Though I suppose it'd be a friend code thing. I'd really like to be able to talk to someone when we're setting up a Brawl match. 45 seconds isn't enough time when you're communicating over MSN.

Does it bug anyone else that when one makes a well thought out thread about some issue in the gaming world or the way things are changing it gets like 7 replies in a week, but when someone makes a "Who's your favourite character in ______?" it get's 5 pages of postcount +1s in a single day?

The VG forum was a better place before the newbs got in. Like the first month when nobody knew it existed.

Pfft, that's nothing. Coke bottles are made from the solidified tears of orphans.

Has anyone else noticed and influx of newbs to the VG forum in the past week or so? Like guys with less than 30 posts and rampant fanboyism; I've counted like 12 of them. Hopefully we'll beat it all out of them.

The thing I like about the NG VG Forum is that it isn't based around one particular company or game, so the only overall bias is in favour of hardocre gaming. Because casual gamers don't go on the interwebs to talk about gaming.

I tried too resist using thios format of a response but I couldn't. I disagree with almost everything you said.

NOt sure which ones you're refering to but if it's the ones I'm thinking of, they do suck.

As a Wii owner, I am a big nintendo fan, but games like wii sports don't cut it for me. Yeah, they can be fun for parties and newer gamers, but when I play a videogame, I want it simply to be based on pressing buttons, joysticks, and controll pads.

You're very set in your ways, aren't you. Try something new.

Not just because I'm lazy or have nostalgic issues, I don't like the motion controll. People had been used to playing video games with regular, non motion based controllers, and that's the way it should stay. It's just another crazy gimmick that ruins video games.

BBe more openmineded, and give it a chance. sure, it mostly sucks now but it will get better.

By the way anyone remember how crappy "Eye Toy" was?

Anyway, I can see maybe releasing a few games with motion features, but having most of them like that just isn't good. Red steel for example, was a shooting game, but its hard to properly play it when you can't just use the controller's joystick to aim. At the time, there was no Wii Zapper out (I don't know the actual name for it), so when using motion controll, it just wasn't fun to point a hard white chocolate bar at the screen.

Are you fucking kidding me? Wiimote aiming is the best thing to happen for FPS since the mouse. It's much more fun and a lot more intuitive (ie niot having to invert the aim).

Nintendo had to sacrafice proper grip on the controll just to improve the motion controll. Don't you think the Wii remote would be a lot easier to hold if it were shaped more like a gamecube controller. The poor mishapen thing isn't even asthetically pleasing! Immagine when the guy who designed it presented it to nintendo:
...Surprise! IT'S A RECTANGLE!

Oh noes! Something new! You can't point a gamecube controller at something. Or use your hands seperately. It's really nice to be able to position your hands where ever you want (when the game doesn't use a lot of motion control) instead of holding them together in front of you.

A lot of Wii owners are harassed by other "Hardcore Gamers" because of their "Gay and Childish" games. Well, all I could say about that is that games with motion controll only really can be good for "Babyish versions of sports," (wii sports) "Childish party games" (rayman raving rabbids) and "silly racing games" (mario kart). Some of these games, like mario kart can still be fun, but they get old quickly.

Do you play Mario Kart online or just alone. Because I can understand how you'd get tired of cheap AI.

Remember back when Mario Party used to be fun. Even when the minigames were about button mashing, they still somehow brought a thrill to the game. I don't want to clean a fucking chain chomp!

I actually agree with you here. I got Mario Party 8 as a gift. It just plain sucked. Not at all fun like the old ones.

Overall, the detection of the motion is just a bitch. You try to get the pointer on screen, but you can't find the right angle and you can't keep your hand steady! That damn sensor bar on my TV is just a total nuicance. It just keeps falling off my TV.

You just suck at it. The only person I ever saw playing Wii who couldn't do it was my 7 yearold cousin. You can rest in on your lap and still point. As for the sensor bar, use tape or something. And you must live next to train tracks or something for it to just fall off for no reason.

I'm not saying the Wii or Nintendo is bad. I'm just saying the Wii's motion based games are.

By the way, Sonic and the Secret Rings is just crap...

It wasn;t crap, it was mediocre.

Now that I've said... all that... I want to hear your position on motion controlled games.

It took me forever to get used to analog sticks when I got my N64, just give it some practice. And don't tell me you did because you admitted you can't even point at the screen properly.

As for my own opinion. I think it's a step in the right direction. Sure it's spawned alot of crap, but things can only get better from here. The Wiimotion Plus should give us some accurate control, even if we don't see it for a year or two. And the pointing feature is just plain awesome. It works perfectly.
