@Cool Story, Bro: Bayonetta is a quick playthrough on Normal difficulty, though if you're going for all top rankings, good luck. Yakuza 3 will take some time. Start with Bayonetta is my pick. If it helps... she's hot.

@Luke Plunkett: You're right. This subset of people is clearly the cream of the crop of hipness.

I don't think the Foxconn facilities are sweatshops, more like overpopulated substandard work quarters for impoverished people who have to work overtime just to make ends meet. They just tend to sweat a lot because of that turmoil.

Mad love for the presence of a BOSS Dr. Sample and a copy of Logan's Run. Otherwise, looks like the iPhone ratio is pretty high.

@Michael Dukakis: For you, that pun book must be the size of the Oxford English Dictionary.

That classic first set is awesome. It would be nice if these were eventually put up for Club Nintendo points. Do not need another Game and Watch. :P

But... do they allow you to fly? Or at least shoot beams out of your feet that can cut steel in two? Or will the arc reactor give me marathon running energy? Any of those abilities and I'm sold.

@xsbs: New Coke was a genius invention because so many people didn't like it, thereby allowing them to bring back Coke Classic and make a FORTUNE. Inadvertent marketing genius FTW!

@Manly McBeeferton: Bummer. :( But keep on keeping on: I lost mine two weeks ago and got it back a week ago. Now I'm clutching onto the things like a shottie during the zombie apocalypse. O_O

@NullNullNix: The Tick... Freekazoid... modern day cartoons pale in comparison. :P

@Timnicebutdim: And to all above... yep, "those" Zelda games exist. Putrid, vile Zelda games. Of course, if Zelda played the hero ala Sheik or in an actual action game... it could work!

@AchromaticMagus Loves Wotter: Probably has to do with preloading of assets for the level. The next objects have to be rendered, and those pixels are the last ones that get put into memory after the flagpole, so the game in bugging out just repeats them endlessly.

I had it happen one time, and, yep, the game crashed. Did not go on and on like this, must have been a different level. But this is cool as hell, going to try it tomorrow! It was the most shocking thing I ever saw as a child, aside from seeing Alien early on.

@wild_world_girl:

@Michael Dukakis: ...

@Manly McBeeferton: But I guess you could say their next title almost put there Playstation dev status in... pole position.

@Taggart6 thinks you should check out #MH3Lounge: Heh... that's what I was thinking. Tim Schafer must be laughing maniacally. Wait, he's always laughing maniacally, isn't he?

I miss the cartoon so much. :')

@RealmRPGer: A series can be episodic in the sense that each episode is its own self-contained game. That would be fun, a new, small adventure for each chapter.

Me thinks many a person would like an episodic Day of the Tentacle series. Give us some tentacle love LucasArts, in the most appropriate sense of the term possible.
