Touch and go here. I think the secret is getting out and everyone is flooding the eshop. I got 5 titles, timed out twice and it's now moving from each screen to the downloading portion quite slowly. I wish I had patience, lol. Or the ability to try the ones I got already as the others download.

Sorry, this has to be done...

This is by far my favorite video game track of all time! As a child I remember beating this game with a mini-cassette recorder next to me so I could record the song for whenever I wanted to listen to it. Love this song!

Very true! We see articles all the time about the horrid working conditions some developers put their staff through, and you really don't get that vibe from these articles. Is that what the fans want? With LA Noire being so "perfect", it sure sounds like we won't be seeing a sequel any time soon. Look at the…

Oh Gabe, we want to hate you and Valve, but you keep showing us the Human side of game production. I shake my fist at you sir, but the wink shows you I'll still wait.

Rumor has it they'll release a full list of NES games and probably more gba games tomorrow.

What about TROOPS? Doesn't that count for anything?

Wait till your wife starts going into labor, it is one of the most boring points of the whole process, because going into labor doesn't mean the baby's coming immediately (although I've heard by child number 2, the sooner the start of labor, the sooner it's coming). I spent almost six hours pacing and attempting to…

"When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong."

That game was brutal. I must have rented it for my SNES nearly 2-3 dozen times. The "hun-is-ta" noise the aliens makes still haunts my dreams.

My little sister graduated this year; the Valedictorian's speech was a modified version of the first season's theme song. I caught it immediately, but it wasn't until she wrapped up and made a comment that, "...we once played Pokemon, now we're moving on." that it was apparent to everyone else in the crowd over the…

My wife picked up my 3ds for the first time this weekend, and this was her first comment, that the top screen seemed wobbly. All my ds systems have been through hell and back, so I tested her ds to see if there was a difference. I can state that yes, there is a little play when its open, but it stays in place. I…

Freddy was burned alive in the school's furnace by the local townspeople. I think this is a callback to his "creation".

Totally agree with you, and you're right about the movies and books being separate since the first one. I try to keep my love for the books and the movies separate for that exact reason; like red and white wines, different flavors for different occasions. I fell in love with Bond because Connery's version was…

It should be noted that Craig's thugish version is more in line with how Bond is in the books. Flemming's Bond was a heavy drinker and smoker, sexist and plain-looking (I believe a little overweight, as well). He didn't have the gadgets, never really got the girl, and was almost killed in the end of most of the books.…

Does anyone remember a Mario clone that you used to find in arcades? It was the same layout as SMB, but it had a kid riding a skateboard. I want to say the question blocks were demon skulls or something. I used to play this all the time at the local Peter Piper Pizza as a kid, and I want to add it to my Mame cabinet.…

See, I'm completely confused by people's problems with their battery. Did the Big N change batteries out right before Father's Day (when I received mine)? I turn it on when I leave for work to count my steps, and never see it drop below one bar by the evening, and with maybe an hour of playing during my lunch break. I…

"What does a mushroom eat to hallucinate?"

There's a couple of websites that have at least the first 2 games soundtracks in mp3 format for free. I downloaded them as background music for my monthly Pirate TCG games. All I did was search google for a bit.

As long as there's a scene where the hero shoots through his own roof to hit the alien menace, I'm sold.
