snowlock commented on Capcom Remind Us How Awesome SFII GI Joe Figures Were, at 4:20 AM on May 10 i didn't remember that until i saw it just now. wanted those things but never got any. first big case of nostalgia i've gotten from kotaku. =D to the mispronunciation hatred: this is years later so maybe try and be subjective. the first game was something like 1992, so i was very young when this aired. when i was 10-12 "Ryu" was definitely to be pronounced just like they say in the ad. considering how that's the target demographic, they nailed it by saying it like that. it wasn't until many years later that i heard someone correct anyone, and there are surely still people who are far from ignorant who say it that way. more »

snowlock commented on Your GameStop "Reservation" For GTA IV May Be Meaningless, at 9:03 PM on Apr 29 this is just another in a long line of consumer-unfriendly policies at gamestop. someone i know who they recently tried to sell an open game as new tried again. more »

snowlock commented on Everybody's Nintendo Channel Broadcasting On U.S. Wiis Next Month, at 4:15 PM on Apr 24 @Yetanotheruninspiredscreename: of course i didn't know that, since you took this long to tell me. still, why didn't they just fall into order without me having to fiddle with them. i have pretty much downloaded them in the order i wanted them to appear anyway. more »

snowlock commented on 18% Of Consumers Bought HDTV For HD Gaming, at 4:00 PM on Apr 24 gaming was definitely the my reason for buying an hdtv. 32" samsung, and i think the tv is pretty damn great. of course, the only hd content i have right now (of my own) is from this laptop. the wii doest look great in progressive widescreen, but i can't wait until june when i can finally buy the ps3 that the tv was meant for. more »

snowlock commented on Everybody's Nintendo Channel Broadcasting On U.S. Wiis Next Month, at 8:22 PM on Apr 23 speaking of channel space... why do i have an empty on on my wii menu? no matter what channel i add, or virtual console title i download, nothing goes there. it's the slot right under the photo channel, and it still irks me to this day. more »

snowlock commented on Burnout Paradise To Introduce Motorcycles, Night, General Bad Assness, at 4:34 PM on Apr 23 wtf just when i thought i could avoid getting this game, i have to add another heap of cash to the ps3 fund. more »

snowlock commented on Lars Ulrich Ponders Guitar Hero Signing Coolness, at 4:02 PM on Apr 23 that's cool that he recognizes the impact the games are having and all. still, the only thing i can think about are press conferences about napster. "fuck you lars, it's our music too!" more »

snowlock commented on Wii Owners Don't Buy Games, at 5:54 PM on Apr 21 no way i'm reading all these comments... i have spent twice as much on wii games as i spent on my wii. save for one title that is mediocre, i think they're all great games. that is all. more »

snowlock commented on Club Nintendo SNES Controller Unboxed, at 5:10 AM on Apr 17 whoa, that's pretty damn awesome if you ask me. however it always seemed obvious classic controller was modeled off of the snes pad. i'm guessing the triggers on it are analog, to make for the wii-game playing. that would make sense for a reason why it isn't exactly like this controller. more »

snowlock commented on Portable Gamer Meet Up Places..., at 5:04 PM on Apr 15 yeah, all the mcdonalds here have wifi; borders and barnes and noble have it too. here's the thing, when i went to try it out at these places, the browser is redirected. "wtf?" it loads a page basically asking me to pay for the wifi access. i have a big problem with that, considering how all the taco bells and krystals, which probably make far less money, have free wifi in their locations. judging by your average public wifi, the crap is worth zero dollars ($0.) also, i've been the only one with a gaming device every time i've ever been. more »

snowlock commented on Hot Chicks In Stupid Game-Related Clips, at 7:56 PM on Apr 14 i don't think they cared about getting the cheats out there. as a matter of fact, i couldn't tell you what game she was giving out a cheat for, much less what buttons you have to press (besides L3.) i don't know if "lighten up" is the response i'm looking for or not, but just keep in mind how hot the chick in the video actually is. more »

snowlock commented on Def Leppard Debuting New Single In Guitar Hero (ie Videogames Killed The Radio Star), at 4:36 PM on Apr 12 that sounds very cool and nifty and all that stuff, but it doesn't change the music industry (riaa.) if they cared about the artists they represent or the consumers they sell to, one would already be able to fill up a media playing device at best buy or fye. luckily, they've failed miserably at quashing these new formats; in the process they've loosened their grip over popular music as a whole. more »

snowlock commented on MGS4 Bundle Gets Whiter, Brighter Box Art, at 5:13 AM on Apr 11 @Demonbird: "Now, if Gamestop would let us start preordering these or the gunmetal version we would be in business." particularly this version right here; as long as by gamestop, you actually mean play n trade. more »

snowlock commented on MGS4's "Steel" PS3 Coming To The US, at 8:40 PM on Apr 10 @ZenGaijin: good luck trying to pre-order this. 80gbps3+metal gear+dualshock3 bundle hasn't been confirmed as limited, and there is still nowhere you can pre-order it yet. hate to see what it would be like reserving something that's officially limited edition. more »

snowlock commented on MGS4's "Steel" PS3 Coming To The US, at 6:16 PM on Apr 10 since this gunmetal ps3 is a confirmed limited run, does that mean metal gear bundle is a confirmed not-limited run? more »
