Take this debate to Private Message, please, you're crapping up the topic at hand. Also, the three of you, quit the name calling, it's getting tiring.

is it safe to talk about video games yet?

From Youtube member "Mike9571706" has uploaded synth remixes of some Shenmue and Shenmue II tracks. I have to say, i not only enjoy listening to them, but also watching the videos :lol:

Was reading some reviews of Shenmue on the internet, and some 2011 comments made from 1UP, that it was "remarkable that years after Shenmue's release, the game's environments are still some of the best to come out of any video game ever".I am also blaring the Shenmue OST soundtrack through my headphones, and whilst i read this line, "Christmas on Dobuita St." was playing, followed by "The Sadness I Carry", and i almost started welling up! No joke. Wtf!

Look at how close this Russian fighter jet was flying over the highway.

It's such a relief not seeing "Administration Control Panel" at the bottom of the page anymore.

Also dear god I'm hope I'm right but after all the people getting shit off their chests which is healthy and I got shit off my chest in a rebel without a cause fashion. Hopefully now things can be normal again.

It's amazing how there were no beat-em-up scenes in either of those videos, and yet I was still hooked to the screen watching them. The taxi driving looks incredibly fun (especially on the highway, pulling off Heat moves), and I don't usually bother with hunting games, but if there's a great story involved (which ther obviously will be) then I could easily get into it.

Sega would be crazy not to localize this.

You guys are too much. Ended up getting swamped with work, going to continue making this. Should be done soon.

Either of those, doesn't really matter.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/sep/03/bruce-willis-apple-itunes-library?newsfeed=true



Bruce Willis is eyeing a legal bid to ensure he can pass on his iTunes library to his children when he dies, according to the Daily Mail.

The Die Hard star is concerned that his extensive music collection will revert to Apple ownership on his demise and is looking into ways that might allow his three daughters, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, to legitimately inherit it. His lawyers are currently said to be looking at the possibility of setting up "family trusts" to act as legal holders of the downloaded music, but Willis is also prepared to consider taking Apple to court over the issue.

"Lots of people will be surprised on learning all those tracks and books they have bought over the years don't actually belong to them," solicitor Chris Walton told the Mail. "It's only natural you would want to pass them on to a loved one. The law will catch up, but ideally Apple and the like will update their policies and work out the best solution for their customers."

Willis is also considering supporting legal action currently underway in five US states to give people more rights to share music they have purchased. The actor, a keen music lover and musician, who had a UK No 2 hit in 1987 with his cover version of the Drifters' Under the Boardwalk, reportedly owns thousands of hours' worth of music on various iPods.

Go Bruce. While it may seem quite a trivial thing for Mr Willis to worry about considering his income, and I'm guessing his kids are more worried about receiving his cash-money inheritance rather than his extensive Vengaboys collection, it's good to see someone standing up against the evil Apple corporation.

So... about those things that aren't this topic that we're currently on.

Strawberries anyone? Aren't they tasty?

Available to pre-order now ahead of its release this November, the 84-inch XBR-84X900 has a 3840 x 2160 resolution - that's four times the pixels of full HD.

Other key features include 3D viewing, a virtual 5.1 surround sound field and online connectivity through the Sony Entertainment Network. Get the full tech specs here.

Just as the PS3 played a key role in establishing Blu-ray and later 3D content, PlayStation 4 is expected to form part of Sony's plan to push 4K tech out to consumers.

:rotflmao:


Good luck with that Sony.

In about the last 10 years, we've seen the wait times for our health care increase, which is a drag. Other than that, it's one of the best healthcare systems in the world.
A system where you wait to die hope to live as opposed to a system live now hope not to die? I had No insurance nor could I afford it. So I never seeked help. Little did I know til much later about medicaid. It doesn't matter that I have racked up a bill nearly 1 million $ and it has cost me nothing. I got help with NO wait at all.

Hey, these old Flip the Frog shorts by Ub Iwerks are great!

You magnificent bastard! I've been looking for that cartoon for ages, but couldn't remember what it was called. Seriously, that exact one. I've been referencing the big butt-->big boobs gag as an example of how cartoons were originally for adults, but I could never cite exactly where it was from.
Thank you good sir.

Thats very strange. Wonder what caused it?

You're welcome! I love quality animation.

I really do love Flip a lot more than Mickey (of course, the top still might be The Sorcerer's Apprentice for me). And it's good that nothing was sacrificed stylistically in Iwerks' independent work (since I love Disney too), but I have to say, in terms of early animation, Ub Iwerks was obviously a huge contributing genius for Disney, so his independent cartoons are just as good as the Disney work he did.

If you watch the "Spooks" Flip episode, the skeleton style is just like Iwerks' Disney short "Skeleton Dance."

Somehow, I just think a frog is inherently funnier than a mouse, especially the streamlined design (more than the original Flip the Frog design from "Fiddlesticks" - he goes through a simplification much like Mickey Mouse did). I guess it's because a Frog seems more squash-and-stretchable than a mouse.

Here is the "Spooks" episode. I love this one. I think probably everyone has seen Disney's "Skeleton Dance."

No i don't look like any celebs.

I was just kidding. Good night, Dor.
I wasn't talking about your comment since I never take anything from you as being overloaded with ill will. You're the Cheshire Cat to this MadWorld.

I was serious, though. This slow-witted pseudo-psychoanalysing coming from some undereducated and narcissistic users of this board simply sucks. In fact, it sucks so much that it makes a misanthrope like me all the more right. Thankfully, this board houses more than the aforementioned sort of users and - occasionally - you can have a factual gaming conversation here. Thank Gawd for the ignore function of phpBB. It makes sorting out the Dojo's garbage a helluva lot easier.

Its over, its finally all over. I beat Xenoblade today. Some aspects of the ending were meh, and I understand many of dorians points now. But on the collective I still must say this game is legendary, and I have never played anything quite like it. Its mainly the size content and customization that make this game shine, because all of those aspects are on steroids. And with a good to above average story and characters, spectacular art direction and aesthetics, it really is a fine wine in the genre. Also, its a Takahashi game through and through, he has little aspects that make his games his own and you can tell usually mechs, religious philosophy, gods and creators, legendary ancient weapons, and as I suspected his most "complete" game that he has made, there arent nearly as many strings left hanging after this one as compared to Gears/Saga, I am sure he is very proud of that.

I know I posted about this game long before it came out and long after it was released, but I am glad to say I have beaten my most anticipated game of this year, and I sucked every morsel I could out of this game. And it was so much more than I thought it was going to be, but then again you dont really understand the ride you are about to experience, until you experience it, with this one. Nothing can really prepare you for this game, you just have to play it for yourself. You dont understand how big it is, how much content there is etc. until you play it start to finish, while many other JRPGs are very predictable before you put in the game disc you know what you are getting yourself into more or less, this one breaks through that confinement and pushes the genre forward, bravo Monolith, you have done it.

Not real sure how I am gonna react to not playing it anymore, the Xenocrack epidemic is finally over for AG after 190 hours :P

By the way, think me dim, but I only just now noticed that Mitt Romney is Mr. Fantastic.

I think he's saying mass debating. But it does sound fairly close

The Newsroom is amazing. All ten episodes were fantastic, even the not-so-good episodes were still very good.

Right now watching "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations", the Paris episode. Aside from the stupid Absinthe skit, its very good.
