I hear that the sony all-stars is only goo d if you go into it not expecting ssb. The gameplay is that different. yes it is a mascot fighting game, but the simularities stop there.

It's going to flop like Vlade Divaks though.

Hey Rob, you get some big ups in the start of the next podcast.  We created you, remember that.

ALERT  ALERT ALERT !!! YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE WE ARE APPROCHING THE ONE  WEEK ZONE WII U IN A LITTLE MORE THAN WEEK. this was only a drill, in the  event of a real Wii U launch your head will explode after your eyes pop out and your  ears bleed. Thank you for your attention.

GG GME and Steel, that was a lot of fun.

So I guess I need to prep for my New York trip, need to ask a few questions to you Leo.

1, What should I expect of driving, are the roads clear, will there be detours?

2. I have a doctors office in the Bronx and one Queen's Village are those places badly hit?

3. How cold is it? Will it snow this week?

4. Are the subways working like normal again?

Roads are mostly cleared, even in the disaster areas, so you should be fine.

Bronx and Queens were not very badly hit. Bronx is back to normal, Queens has a lot of downed trees, but not bad.

Temp is averaging between 45-55 degrees. No snow predicted. Bring warm clothes!

Subways, somehow, are nearly back to normal. Stinky, yes, but that was always the case!

Now, to find some gas and wait the long 3.5 hours until I can get my Paper Mario!

Skipped the shower. Got my hoodie. Got my coffee. Got my protein bar. Got my Kindle and my 3DS and prepared to brave the line for gas.  

I'm back 10 minutes later with a full tank!  

Oh well! That was easy!  

3 hours 'til Paper Mario!  

Created with Scribblenauts Unlimited object editor

Also check out these videos from a couple of days back of Nintendo characters interacting in the Scribblenauts world. There are Mario and Zelda characters, its pretty cool.

This game is on my radar now, looks quirky and cool. Runs at 1080p 60 FPS has stylus touch screen creation, typing etc and more cool stuff.

This article is really great too:

How Wii U and Nintendo Changed Scribblenauts

For 5th Cell, this is new. Though the studio has been developing games for nearly 10 years, Scribblenauts Unlimited represents a trio of intimidating milestones. It's the first launch title 5th Cell has created, meaning it's the first time it's dealt with the headaches and unknowns of pre-release hardware. It's 5th Cell's first major console release, in fact: the developer has never shipped a game on a disc. Scariest of all, Scribblenauts Unlimited isn't just a Wii U game — it's launching simultaneously on Wii U and 3DS and hitting PC a mere week later.



Listening to Creative Director Jeremiah Slaczka describe the development process, though, those milestones sound more exciting than frightening. And if the Wii U hadn't come along, Scribblenauts Unlimited may have been a dramatically different game. If it existed at all

Lots more videos from Mario U and Nintendoland in the Wii U thread guys.

It's 7:10AM on a Sunday, and my first thoughts upon waking up are "I can get GAS today!" Welcome to the new normal...  

Spent most of the day yesterday volunteering with a Long Island charity group, handing out coffee, hot cocoa and sandwiches, lugging A LOT, and I mean A. LOT. of garbage! Best workout I've had in YEARS! Smelly work. Got covered in mildew and canal/sewer water, but I feel more "clean" today than I ever have in my whole life!  

Worked. Came home. Showered. Played Halo. Worked. Came home. Showered. Ate Chinese food... Played Halo.

What made it all worth while: I was in two areas JUST as they were getting their power restored! Got hugged by more men, women and children than my entire life combined probably... I was like: "Ummm... I didn't do it, but OK...!"  

that is awesome. Nice work.

And thanks for the reply, eases my worries a bit.

Good games last night guys. Game's pretty fun but yeah, more of the same. It's so polished though, that more of the same is fine with me. Other games such as the Uncharteds and gods of war get free passes on that.
