Re: Violent Video Games Blamed for Knife Attack in Scotland

SubBronze

If a 13 year old is already a father and a murderer, then there is something seriously messed up with his entire upbringing, not just video games. He is a child, his parents/guardians are fully responsible for what games he plays, who he meets, what is in his possession, and if he needs any professional help. Video games, he shouldn't have been playing in the first place, are nothing to blame for this horrible incident.

My thoughts go to the family and and victim.

I'm interested in Color Commando, so I'll probably pick that up. The Starship Damrey also has my attention, but I'll wait on the review.

Also, any chance on a Crash City Mayhem review? I really like action racers like Burnout.

Re: Feature: Robust DLC Ensures That Fire Emblem: Awakening Just Keeps On Giving

@JohnG I once had a disc-drive problem with my Wii, sent it in, and when got it back, it just didn't work at all. Didn't even get the home screen, music or anything. You might want to consider phoning them, that's what I did when I got my Wii back broken. They can't really ignore direct contact. In the end I got both fixes for free, which was nice considering I was past my warranty.

Plus, the hold music is the Kokiri Forest theme

Re: Nintendo "Didn't Know What To Do" With The Wii Vitality Sensor

Eh, this just felt gimmicky when it was first announced anyway. I personally think Nintendo announced it as a testament to their creativity more than anything. I don't see a use for this that would be widely accepted in the gaming community. We already have sticks to wave around and screens to poke, I don't want something strapped to my finger thank you very much.

Re: Talking Point: It's Time for a 3DS Storage Upgrade From Nintendo

SubBronze

I have a 4GB one which I upgraded from the 2GB my 3DS came with. I ran out of space once because I hoarded almost all of my demos, so I just deleted the ones I didn't want anymore. I have no intention to buy retail downloads, so there's no reason for me to upgrade anytime soon. (Unless I go for that "buy three games get 1 free" deal on Club Nintendo Europe going on)

Re: Weirdness: These Circle Pad Pro Mods Have Some Wacky Designs

SubBronze

I swear the second one along in the first picture has exactly the same d-pad as my the controller I use for my pc. Must have cannibalised it or something.
These all look weird, but I would like to try out a controller with a stick on the shoulder, I have no idea what that would feel like.

Re: Nintendo of Europe Offers Free Game in "So Many Games!" Promotion

SubBronze

@edhe That competition is long over (I know because I was one of the runner-up poster winners). I found it a bit odd that they didn't make an announcement for it as well.

Anyway, this is a great promotion! Already have Fire Emblem, I'm planning on getting Luigi's Mansion 2, but I don't know what to pick for my third game and my freebie... Probably between Pokemon, Monster Hunter and Donkey Kong. This is one of the best promotions I've ever seen!

Already had my Sumia die twice because of archers on the first side-mission where you recruit Donnel because I forget ranged attacks go through thin walls (which I think is stupid by the way). I'll probably try to do that chapter after I do a few others. Playing on Classic Normal, and this game is pretty darn difficult already... Still like it a lot though
