Link works for me. 1UP hasn't been down for me at all the past year, so maybe there is a problem on your end.

So how would Nintendo feel about this graphic being passed around, especially if they were all coming to the Wii? (image from 1up's little game of "name that shooter", and this is the answer key).

That would cause a shitstorm on a scale larger than when The Davinci Code came out (if it got movie sized advertising). Also, while the Xeno series is my favorite of all time, I just couldn't imagine how they would cast it for live action. No one but Crispin Freeman is Albedo to me. Besides that, I think you would…

I'm wondering how exactly this movie will work. Can it come in the form of those movies where the audience would vote for what they wanted to happen next?

Makes sense. This article comes on the heels of one I read yesterday about how hard it is for indie developers to make money on XBLIG. [arstechnica.com]

$5000? But... that's actually a reasonable number! (minus the "in excess of" part, of course). Usually you expect these lawsuits to be in the six-figure plus category (like early RIAA lawsuits).

Right there with you.

This brings me back. Chuck Yeager's Air Combat was just fun to play on our first family PC, and there was utter joy when we managed to land the plane in anyway that looked normal and non-crashy. It also made me hate MIGs!

Sounds like you still have a long ways to go before finishing the game if you just got to Cygnus. The brilliance of Radiant Historia is more than the production values, like the art and music, or the battle system (which I enjoyed very much.) The brilliance that sends it over the top for a GOTY contender for me is the…

No Radiant Historia makes me sad. But to each his/her own.

Ah, well I don't really mind an influx of non-gamers by nearly any means. If the game designers have any lick of real talent they should have no problem including features to bring along the non-gamers while appealing to the hardcore.

See the problem is the same problem I had with the free games from the welcome back program: I already have most of the stuff they are giving out!

Quite obviously the result of fans of the Flintstones and Peanuts.

You mean for multiplayer games? As long as people have a choice over their control scheme there is no problem. Any difficulties they have are on them. Unless you are going the route of the old PC-360 cross platform experiment where the 360 players get their arses handed to them by the superior keyboard-mouse set up…

The only thing I waited on was PS Plus. Guess I'll download that today, though I probably will not get much use out of it.

As with any alternative control scheme, I say as long as it's optional I do not care what they come out with.

Somehow I don't think Mr. Freeman should be on the list since I don't think the Van Dyke counts as a pure mustache.
