    In reply to Espgaluda II Shooting The Snot Outta February
    Well shit. I've got no reason to change my pants. I'll just soil them again as soon as they're on.

    I mentioned this a couple of days ago on the Steam group forum in passing while discussing Mushifutari.

    The Espy games are probably the best shooting franchise that Cave has ever made, and I'm hoping that someday we can get EspRa.De or Espgaluda on Live Arcade.

    In reply to Qix++ Is Probably Your XBLA Game Of Next Week
    Qix is awesome and totally deserving of an update. I still play the original from time to time, but the crude graphics and shrill sound effects really wear me out. It could really benefit from a little influence by Geometry Wars.

    In reply to What Marketing Can And Can't Do With Microsoft's Avatars
    No: 3 makes me think of the Avatar myspace band album cover.
    No: 5 from my experience more than 50% of the player avatars actually have something that covers their eyes or their face. Seeing their eyes is pretty rare.
    And the last one - why not? Really it might be cheesy, it might good. I don't get what's wrong with interacting with the 360 sphere.

    @WhatTheFrag: I think they are referring to thier marketing not to people's use of the avatars themselves.

    @Superspecs: some of the marketing does use in-game footage. For instance the 1vs100 adverts aren't all just made by the marketing team. I believe this would encompass all that and not just posters and materials just made for the advert.

    @Superspecs: maybe it's because I've not worked with print media in ages but generally when I read marketing notes I think of video footage which is why I thought it's a bit silly as I believe even their game adverts sort of feature some avatars blinking.

    In reply to Microsoft Puts Crackdown, Katamari On Demand
    Well there goes my cunning scheme of selling sealed copies of Beautiful Katamari at outrageous prices (seriously, check out Amazon).

    But at least I got my own new copy a few weeks back for only $20. So that's nice.

    In reply to Changing Video Game Cases Go For The Green
    I've been getting movies that come in these disposable cases. They may be "marginally" less expensive to produce, but they for damn sure are significantly less protective of the media held within, especially _after_ you get them home. I'm about to the point where I'm going to start buying empty DVD cases and mail all the junk cases back to the distributors, with a request that if they're feeling a bit cost-conscious, maybe they could reimburse me for having to buy my own DVD cases.

    Oh yeah, except it doesn't help in situations where I'd need a case with the clips to hold an inner flap, and it kinda sucks when you're forced to switch to generic black cases when they went to the trouble of giving the original case a special color.

    -There must be a avatar black enough for a zany football player. If there is no avatar black enough, look into fixing this.

    Wow, reading this actually revealed something to me about MW2.

    THATS WHAT IT MEANT BY "NO RUSSIAN."

    Man, I thought he was implying "Leave no Russian alive".

    The more you know?

    Also, that photo shop spews of brilliant lulz.

    In reply to Gamers Not Happy With Japanese Modern Warfare 2
    I find this all kind of strange. Normally Japanese voice acting is so great. And although I only know a bit of Japanese, I can see why they think the performance is a bit flat, lacking their usual panache. Maybe they were misguidedly trying to capture a more "western" style of voice acting to stay truer to the original.

    @Thut: Dubbing is almost never ever as good as the original, no matter which direction you go. Many dubs are so bad they turn it into a comedy. Think martial arts flicks.

    @Thut: Actually Japanese voice acting tends to be very ‘hammy’, you only believe it to be good because you are not a native speaker of the language or have a low familiarity with it. Truth be told, most are not much better than your average English dubs. Of course there are some really horrid English dubs in existence, without a doubt.

    Wanna know something funny? A lot of Japanese importing English dub versions of their old familiar shows tend to believe that the dubbed versions offer a superior performance over their native language track and it’s for the same reason you believe Japanese dubs to be so good.

    @shades_of_blue: Without a doubt they can be quite hammy. But "writing aside," I simply find that Japanese voice actors tend to be a bit more emotive.
