You don't play JRPGs? It's a linear JRPG like any other, it just happens to have a huge world with loads of side quests and things to find. You don't really see any gameplay in these videos, just running, with a cheat or something (or maybe they're so much lower level that they avoid him) so no enemies get hostile.

Playing more OoT and I am convinced more than ever that 3D is our future. All handheld devices should look like this, it is so freaking awesome.

Yawn...

"Peripheral maker Hori put a countdown page on its site leading to the reveal of an exciting mystery product ... and it's a new PS3 controller! Maybe the Hori Pad 3 Pro isn't the dramatic reveal we expected, but it looks like a pretty nice device.


The Hori Pad 3 Pro builds on previous Hori controller offerings with a d-pad that can be rotated to provide the most comfortable position, as well as customizable d-pad input range. We don't really understand how that last one works, though it seems to involve setting the range between two directions at which a diagonal input is registered.


It also features customizable analog stick sensitivity, three levels of turbo fire with a quick activation button on the back of the controller ... and, unfortunately, a wire. The Horipad Pro will be released in Japan on July 21. Odds are pretty good you'll be able to get one soon after; Amazon stocks previous Hori Pad variants."

Didn't they make this same pad for the PS2?

They made this controller:

As cool as it looked I don't think a more awkward to use controller has ever existed (aside from some of the crap that MadCatz has made over the years).

For those who have not seen it in use:

I want a slime beanbag.

After 6 days, someone finally broke down and asked.

I am cycling through avatars I made of Catweazel, a medievel wizard who was accidentally transported to England in the late 1960's.  He is fascinated by modern technologies, like electricity and telephones.  He has a pet toad who was transported with him.

I don't know why it occurred to me to do this, but I like his style.

What was the name of that movie where Jean Reno and some other french dude got transported from the middle ages to modern France?

Edit: Found it. Les Visiteurs.

^That was Les Visiteurs.

Catweazel was a documentary I beleive.  I've never really looked into it (I'm a busy man).

"Catweazle is a magician from the time of the Normans who is cast into the future by magic. With the help of two boys he uses magic in an attempt to return to his own time."

Aspro believes in magic!

Wada responded that Square Enix must consider making the game compatible with both the Wii and its successor, the Wii U. The company is currently doing technical investigations on how to support Wii U, said Wada.

Is this guy missing the point? Wii games are compatible with Wii U. All of them.

Kondo: Our next title, Skyward Sword, also has a wide variety of impressive songs, and it has new musical gameplay elements. Hajime Wakai is in charge of the music, but I also participated in making songs. My composition tools are an electronic piano and a Mac. We use orchestras for a few different songs where we feel that doing so is appropriate. said:

Huh, I thought Yokota was doing the music?
