Response to: Do you actually join clans? Posted December 18th, 2010 in Video Games

I have joined a couple of clans over Steam (mainly TF2 clans), but I'm not sworn to them as a country like some of them are. To me, they're just little clubs that start different games and servers from time to time, which I find fun. I once joined one of their servers that had a Pac-Man KOTH mod, and it was pretty fun.

Response to: Fights you can never ever beat. Posted December 18th, 2010 in Video Games

It's not really a boss battle, but more of a battle of terrain.

In Burnout Revenge, there's this Rome-styled plaza that's a Crash Mode course. However, getting to the middle part of it, you have to do some crazy angle-drifting to get on these steps and launch yourself to it. I don't remember it too well other than the fact it was a beesh every time. Every. SINGLE. TIME.

Response to: Anime on Adult Swim Posted December 18th, 2010 in General

Some people in America like anime. Most people in America don't. It doesn't have the same kind of audience that Japan's got. It never has, and never will. I think Adult Swim's rights on those series are pointless. They're only going to get the same number of views they always got: 0.

Response to: How do you prepare for Multiplayer? Posted December 18th, 2010 in Video Games

Training? Practice? What the heck? When was the last time you just played something out of it being fun instead of treating it like a competition?

If I ever go into multiplayer, I just roll with it. Sometimes I learn the tricks of the map by playing through a match in it a few times, but I just join a game and have fun. Sometimes I freakin' rock, sometimes I fail on the ground, and sometimes it's neck-and-neck. But no, I don't prepare for multiplayer, because I play games for fun, not to increase the size of your e-peen.

Which does nothing to your real penis size. /v/ lied to me...

That's true. Anything moral usually has a case where there's literally no option left but that. I'm a Christian, but I believe there are benefits for controversial stuff like this. Sometimes there's just no other option. You never know. In cases like that, cloning might actually help and put resources to good use instead of copying another person just for lulz.

Response to: Butthurt christians and cloning Posted December 16th, 2010 in General

I'm kinda indifferent about cloning. I mean, it's an interesting science, but I don't really see the benefits of it other than multiplying more idiots into the world, and people already do that find and dandy. I see no benefits or improvements made with cloning IMHO other than the fact of saying, "We cloned someone, yay."

As far as the morality of it, yes it's immoral in my eyes, but so is killing in general, and we have a war. All I'm saying is that the morality of things tend to have loopholes; I don't see cloning providing any loophole in the morality of creation of life. And for those atheist science freaks: I don't see cloning producing any benefits for society. I suppose if cloning were to go widespread, prepare to get some massive hell from the theists out there.

True. But better graphics =/= better game.

If there were any online games that were worth a damn.

So if I play games, that means nothing else in life matters? So I should never buy this because it's going to something else? So if every store in the world donated part of a game's profit to charity, no games to buy that holiday season?

I don't see why you wouldn't donate to charity. Yes games have nothing to relate to these issues, but neither does the Hoops for Hearts basketball charity for St. Jude. Frankly, it's just a little something to go towards a worthy cause, not much. And what, like a small percentage? If you don't like it, don't buy it OR don't focus on the fact it's going to someone other than Activision or EA.

Response to: Why is youtube so biased Posted December 15th, 2010 in General

YouTube has been going down the toilet since it became a site. In fact, it has gone beyond the crapper and into a literal feces hell. I say that the people who actually have talent on YouTube shut down their accounts and start a new site or host their videos on a different site. Easier said than done, but YouTube needs better management. Or just to shut down.

It's true that porting from platforms make developers lazy. That I believe. But it's not to say consoles aren't possible of viewmodels. Halo 3 did it. I don't see why Valve couldn't do it on the 360 other than pure laziness.

Also, I'm indifferent on viewmodels. I don't look at games for realism because games =/= reality. If I want realistic, I would've joined the army.

Response to: PS3 now plays wii games. Posted December 15th, 2010 in Video Games

I'd imagine there'd be problems with this.

1) Blown-up 480p
The Wii's max output is 480p. On a 1080p output, emulating a game with 480p will make it look uglier than it is. I guess it'd be alright if the system itself is set to 480p, but that's a pain to go through the menus each time you want to play a Wii game.
2) You still need a remote
That means I'll have to buy a remote (and a nunchuck) and a Bluetooth dongle to let it set up. Even if they figure out how to set it up with the Move controller, you still need a PlayStation Eye and a Move controller. There's at least $70 just to emulate it.
3) PS3 updates
You jailbreak the console, odds are it's stuck offline. You won't be able to use PSN otherwise Sony's going to update your system and delete the mods. There goes your ISO files and games, and possibly your PSN account.

All in all, leave emulation to the PC. If you want to play a Wii game, get a Wii.

Nick's trying to be Disney and appeal to Disney's audience because that's where the moneys are right now. Going at the same crowd who like lame (pre-)teen pop singers and sparkling vampires. Sad really. I'd say that Cartoon Network's lineup is much better at the moment due to the fact that it regularly makes fun of all this. And CN's not even the same as it was.

IDK, maybe I'm just getting old or the new audience has no taste. Probably both.
