Why don't we have that comercial here? Good lord. I'd heard about that on the PGC forums... but man. That was great.

That Game Boy just became a Game Woman thanks to a little cartridge slot violation.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-24-2005, 03:37 AM

Here's a couple of editorials I just wrote. Neither are published yet, so I just wanted to get some opinions. Tell me what you think.

Paper versus Performance
This one I wrote to basically tell the graphics whores (albet as polietely as possible) to stick it up their asses. I kinda feel bad because I kad to kick Gamecube a tad to plug Revolution. If you feel it could be improved any, lemme know.

Polishing up History
This one's my baby. I hope to heaven Nintendo heeds the advice here because there is so damn much potential here. I mean, I try to illistrate the possibilities of the Nintendo Classic download service as best I can. Tell me what could be improved here if you see anything.

Nice articles, but I like my graphics sometimes...

*Mecha Cow* · 10-24-2005, 09:49 AM

Neither of the URLs work for me. :/

*Kid Icarus* · 10-24-2005, 10:01 AM

Same here. I keep getting time out errors.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-24-2005, 12:17 PM

The server was being a b*tch last night while I was trying to upload stuff, but it seems to be working now I think.

Same here. I just was trying to emphisize that graphics should be used to compliment the gameplay rather than be the focus.

*edit*

I know why the pages wern't loading. Some weather from Hurricane Wilma knocked our servers out. It's fine now though.

*Mecha Cow* · 10-24-2005, 02:19 PM

Ah, the pages work now. Nice articles, very well written.

I definately agree with your stance on graphics. While they are of course a very important part of games, they should never be the focus, like Sony and Microsoft seem to emphasising (This is not a jab at either company, simply something I noticed). I have to say that from what I've seen of the 'next-gen' graphics, most of it seems to be simply current gen stuff at a higher resolution (With a couple of exceptions - MGS4 for one)...Or maybe I haven't looked hard enough.

As for the upgraded classic games, it sounds great, but I wouldn't count on it. Seems like it would be an awful lot of extra work. I could see a couple of big first-party titles getting makeovers though.

By the way, 'hand-drawn sprites' is redundant. Sprites are done by hand to begin with.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-24-2005, 03:13 PM

Well, they were edited by hand, but usually done in a computer. Only around late SNES did they actually start drawing them and scanning them into the game (Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger) and then it became standard after that.

*Kid Icarus* · 10-24-2005, 03:33 PM

Well, Mecha... TMB and I were just talking a few minutes ago, and here's the idea...

Nintendo uses the 'remake' games as a solid way to train new employees. Nintendo's constantly expanding, and what better way to break people in by having them submerged in a game they know well, with a list of things to add, change, or overhaul?

I think it'd work wonders. That would also mean that employes at Nintendo arn't starting off on a project like Twilight Princess.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-24-2005, 05:22 PM

Yeah, which means no more s*itty flagship franchise titles from peopl who don't know what they're doing. It's an excellent idea, and one I'd be suprised if they aren't already utilizing.

*Kid Icarus* · 10-24-2005, 06:39 PM

TMB, damn you.

I've spent no less then four hours today with Panel De Pon, and I blame you.

:-p

Although, I am starting to get better at action combos and such. Still. Damn you.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-25-2005, 01:34 AM

WTF? Damn Chinese. Watch this video...

Please Nintendo, crusify their ass.

Nah, I mean that sprites have to be done pixel by pixel, so technically they are hand(Or mouse, if you prefer)-drawn. I do a lot of spriting myself so I know how big of a bitch it is. I know what you mean though, I was just messing with ya.

By the way, wasn't there some way that starting developers could upload their own projects onto the Rev's download service? Coulda sworn I heard something about that.

And that NeoDouble thing is hilarious. I want to play Street Fighter Soccer.

*E* ...Did I seriously type 'their' instead of 'there'?

*Duke* · 10-25-2005, 07:27 PM

I'd be up for a mario kart tournament but I don't think I'll have access to WiFi that weekend since I'll be out of town visiting old people.

*Kid Icarus* · 10-25-2005, 09:30 PM

mcdonalds, mcdonalds, mcdonalds... and.... mcdonalds.

starbucks, starbucks, starbucks... and... starbucks.

indie coffee houses... screw it, i'm not typing that 4 times. Anywhere with wifi access should allow you to connect (possibly for a small fee, usually just a few bucks).

Cerpin Taxt · 10-25-2005, 10:41 PM

Starbucks is free if you have T Mobile. If you don't, you get it free for a day, and then you pay a large sum of money.

However, our assistant manager is a total jerk loser who plays his DS all the time, and will have a laptop with the WIFI hookup on it. You might just get lucky...

*Kid Icarus* · 10-25-2005, 10:59 PM

mmm hm. my DS would be all over that connection. word.

if not, there are also a lot of public libraries that have gone wireless. just be sure to play with headphones

.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 10-25-2005, 11:27 PM

And hide in an isle. Ours get pissed if you're not doing something educational with the access. F*ck them. Mario Kart teach me the art of raising hell in public locations when I get hit by a Winged Spiked shell of death.

man, I can't wait to try that feather and Bob-om out in Block Fort. Hellllllo new war stratagies.
