So they did the sword's grip. Meh-okay. Would've been more interesting if they'd actually put the design on the swordblade on the umbrella's fabric too. That is, instead of using that just white material shown in that 2nd pic. If they'd put that blade's graphic design on the umbrella, it would've REALLY looked…

@Platypus Man: Sigh. Ain't that true. I don't know about having it on other consoles, but I for one would LOVE it it if Nintendo put Pokemon online as an official MMO.

Those have GOT to be celeb look-alikes. Obama's got too much on his plate to be taking time off for a comic-con and Palin'd be too busy (I know at this point the joke's kinda getting old but I can't help it) sitting on her front porch with a glass of lemonade looking at Russia to be looking at comic books or video…

Cute. Extremely. But, wondering if the head to body proportion is due to her being born that way or if she's just leaning waaayyyyy forward.

Well, the 3DS and the first Nintendo game to have any 3D effects (the upcoming Pokemon game) will be out in half a year or so. We'll see. I don't know how much more work the games require to make the change, but I think I did read somewhere that the 3D effects can be switched on and off.

...and one of these days, everyone is going to be issued an electronic/digital something or other (i.e. cellphone, blackberry, electronic card, whatever etc etc) at birth and it'll follow you thru your entire life (like a social security number).

I'm thinking when you engage security measures, the problem is how do you separate the general populace from the over-achieveing extremists without stepping all over everyone's privacy and civil liberties.

Never been to or seen one of these. Do they actually fight in those get-ups? Geez. Some of those costumes can get pretty....well, let's just say don't have much skin/body coverage. Or, (for some people) putting all that time and effort into making those only to have it ripped or torn in one of those matches? …

My hope is that if he/they do put out another Mario World/Brothers game is that each level is savable and not just at tower junctions like NSMB. 'S why I wound up returning the thing. I have a tendency to play in short spurts, not hours-long marathons. Got tired of having to re-play levels all the time 'cause I…

Me, I watch a lot of CSI/cop shows. In my case, that scene would've been written up like this.

Hah. Taking Friday off. Four days! So. Any fellow Kotakus in the U.S. doing anything interesting this Fourth of July weekend?

Love to see the specs on it (i.e. gas mileage, speed, safety features, engine power, who you call for repairs if it gets scratched, damaged, blows a tire).

@Koda89: Well, I dunno but I'd think that in order for there to be "unlockable content", there'd have to be SOME difference, how much? Good question. One thought to ponder, if both versions are going to have "unlockable content", will the two have the same or different types of "content".

Ummm...So what was this in the aid of? Just for the heck of it? Attention-getting stunt? Trying to get in some exercise while waiting in all those long lines?

It's a sign of the times. The times and attitudes of the world in general when Wonder Woman first appeared and now are far different.

Ummmm....What is that — a dorm room or is that some computer/video game company? They let him do that at work?

Sounds like some kind of gross and gory mad scientist version of that recent DiCaprio movie "Shutter Island".

@vanillakokakola: I like Puzzle Quest, yeah, but I do have to admit that after the third version of the game, I was getting to the stage of "Yeah, I know it's fun and I like it too, but enough is enough don't 'cha think? You're kinda running it into the ground here.".

Considering JUST how big the Warcraft world is (and if it actually really gets off the ground - I know of a number of rumored projects I'd have liked to see but eventually never surfaced), any bets on if it'll wind up being a live actor/action, cgi animated, or combination of the two?
