]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Creating Avatars Through The New Xbox Experience]]> Are they calling it a "channel" too? I wonder if that sounds like any other system.

You know what i think would be cool. If you could get accessories from the games you've put in and played or from achievements. I.E. if you play Blue Dragon you could get a shadow creature, or if you play Dark Sector you can get a glaive for your avatar. The more games you play the more accessories you get. Sorta a more visual way to show off your games played/library. Having a master chief helmeted (halo) avatar holding a guitar (rockband/guitar hero) would be kinda cool.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Microsoft's "I'm a PC" Ad Beats Seinfeld (But Not Hodgman)]]> I was wondering how they were going to work Eva Longoria and Pharrell into their ads. Worked out well enough.

Also the PC that studies laws was pretty hot.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on The Lolita Animal Zoo Game Thing]]> That laugh at the end was just creepy.

Also I think i saw breast physics

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on BioShock PS3 Versus BioShock 360]]> The use of light bloom this gen has been a little over done, but Bioshock was one of the few i thought it worked for. It just seemed to work with the aesthetic of Rapture. So i actually kinda like the 360 version more, being brighter and bloom...ier.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Wars are Won in the Shadows, New Velvet Assassin Trailer]]> Cheer up emo game. More eye shadow anyone?

Personally i think the game looks very next/current gen. Just look at all the greys and browns they have in there. If that's not a hallmark of next/current gen then i don't know what is.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Atlus Announces Luminous Arc 2 For North America]]> Just finished the original to tide me over til FFTA2:GotR. I'd give it a B-. Repeated battles that didn't scale as you advanced in level got boring. Multi user spells (synergies) were hard to get and not that strong. An eight person spell that needed each to have accumulated 3 'flash points' each prior to the spell and be within a certain range of eachother did less damage that a normal skill a single person could do. Generic shaped area of effect for all spells that just got larger at higher level spells. You might be able to target in a T-shape, but the AoE would still be a cross shape like every other spell.

However it did havea few things that FFTA2:GotR didn't. Well done anime opening sequence. Voice acting, tho cheesy at times. Also my favorite moment was as the main character of an all ages game asking a large breasted supporting character "Are those...real?" I'd give LA2 a try tho.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Hands On With Guitar Hero: Aerosmith]]> How could they not have the single "Pink" on that set list? Pink, it´s my new obsession.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Blazepro Offers Realistic Wii Racing Wheel For Better Mario Kart Control]]> @kodo:
That was what i was thinking when i saw this thing. How are you supposed to do tricks and wheelies? Pretty much the only reason to stick with the wiimote (with or without the nunchuck) was to be able to flick the wiimote and do tricks for the boost. Now if it's tied down that whole thing is out the door and you might as well go to the gamecube or classic controller

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Xbox Live "Gay" Crackdown MIGHT Be Getting A Little Out Of Hand]]> Damn, I didn't like getting picked on in school for my name. I can only imagine how much flack a name like Dick Gaywood got.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Video: How Iron Man Gets Dressed]]> OMG, i think i just soiled my own metal suit after watching that.

Damn, it's gonna rust

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Soulcalibur IV Screens: Talim, Rock & Yoshimitsu In Action]]> Talim has been a favorite since her introduction in II. Doesn't hurt that she's kinda cute too. Yoshimitsu look great, but for some reason his new look just doesn't mesh with his persona. At least not in my mind. Needs to be a little crazier.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Cats > Kotaku In 2008 Bloggies]]> @KM91:
[www.ihasahotdog.com]

I come to kotaku every day and ICHC only once a week. However I read each and every lolcat. Here on Kotaku I read only 1 out of every 10 stories, and that's only on a good day.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on WiiMax Gun Gives Laser Sights, Takes Dignity]]> @mmoylan: Seems like a sound argument to me. It's because of that that sometimes i'm not actually aiming at a target to get it.

Also don't some (if not all) zapper games have an aiming reticle on screen? doesn't that make the lazer sight sorta redundant? I know link's crossbow training does.

DO NOT WANT!

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Mobius Climbers Are Totally Awesome, Dangerous Playground Equipment]]> That picture would be so much cooler if you saw the climbing kids following the shape like in an Escher picture. i.e. they'd start off right side up at the begining, but after that turn they'd be head-over-heels.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Sam And Max - Sometimes The Paranoid Are Right]]> I know it kinda defeats the point of episodic games, but i'm gonna wait until they release the whole season in one collection like i did last season. Saves a bit of money doing it that way. The games are great tho

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Hasbro Signs Film Deal - Monopoly The Movie?]]> Strange thing for me is that just a couple nights ago i actually had a dream about a M:tG movie. From what I remember it seemed like I knew i was dreaming and was actively thinking about what would be cool for a movie. Thing is i haven't played Magic in over a decade. I did think it was an awesome dream though and look forward to a M:tG movie.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on New Mario Kart Wii Screens, Info]]> Just remember the Scooty Puff Jr. sucks!

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Nintendo Characters Big and Evolved]]> @Gospel X: True, some of those could be left out if we were to go by a one true Link. Also the progression would be totally whacked if we were to go by the in-game time line. We could 16-bit before 8-bit.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Red Ring of Death, Naughty Faceplate]]> @Kj719: Your mind exploded a little early, because not only are we in a browswer watching a video of a video in a brower but that video also has a video in it. Then there is a video display in the background of that video. now your mind as free to explode.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on DS Concept Is Pure Fanboy Porn]]> I like the little custom avatars everyone seems to have. From what i can tell they look like pictures of the players with character overlays on top. However, the Donkey Kong player looks a little too much like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh for my taste. he even looks kinda purple/blue.

I think i'm just being nit-picky here, but teh two screens don't mesh. At least the images being displayed don't mesh. The top has mario in 3rd and rounding a bend, the bottom on the other hand has him on a straightaway and in 6th.

It's an official "do want" from me.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on "Chuck's" Josh Gomez Talks Games]]> Anyone else notice how similar Chuck and Reaper are? Working at some big box store they must lead a dangerous secret life and try and get the girl. They have a goofy best friend. You could swap any character and barely notice the change. We could have Sock replace Morgan and scripts wouldn't even have to be rewritten.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on "Chuck's" Josh Gomez Talks Games]]> This show is the cream of my nerd tv watching crop. It's hard to be more of a nerd when all the shows you watch are the likes of Chuck, Numb3rs, CSI(s), Criminal Minds. I gotta mention a lot of discovery channel too.

I liked how they incorporated games into the show. One of my pet peeves are shows that have characters playing games but looking as if they have never picked up a controller in their life. They'll mash buttons and wiggle control sticks like you see 3 year old do.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on Our Computer Contest Answers (Bring the Hate!)]]> Dang, missed the "eighth" trooper. My only real qualm with that is how are we supposed to know that that sliver is really a stormtrooper as opposed to some other cheap white plastic'd costume.

]]> <![CDATA[Zenlong commented on CNN Enters Second Life]]> Is it just me or is there a big push to join in on the second life/mmo wave? CSI:NY had a second life episode. Numb3rs had just had a MMO ep.
