Chocobo Theme from FFXIII-2:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEUOOgNzOv4&feature=player_embedded#!

There are lyrics.

Gas him up with greens and let him go
Stand back stand clear as he puts on a show
So cute yet fierce is he from hell?
I can't tell you I don't even want to know

So you wanna be a trailblazer?
Kick up dirt like a hellraiser?
Take the reigns but don't react slow
It's time to feel the force of the chocobo

So you think you can ride this chocobo?
Got chocobucks you better put them on the chocobo
Saddle up if you think you can ride in this rodeo
Are we in hell I don't know

If you think you're gonna hide, there's chocobo
Everybody's gonna wanna ride your chocobo
This chocobo's got style in the chocorodeo
Gonna ride'em straight through hell in this chocobo rodeo

I'm too old for this shit.

Good thing I just bought Cave Story +.

What exactly is the + in Cave Story+.

HD-ified graphics and music along with the originals, a new level, some new game modes (boss rush, etc), and when you buy it, Pixel gets money.

And the next Pokemon game is a crossover between Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition. It is a strategy game of some flavor.

A shining example of why it's not always good to give game developers the artistic freedom to make whatever they want.

(For all that, if it's an amazing game, I won't care if the concept is bad).

Xeroma · « **Reply #634 on:** December 17, 2011, 02:39:22 AM »

Concept? Bad? Far from it, I'm excited. Pokemon strat game.

Captain K. · « **Reply #635 on:** December 17, 2011, 03:28:34 AM »

I'm tenatively excited. But the screenshots make it look more like a FFT-style game (which I don't like) than the old Nobunaga games (which were awesome). Granted I haven't played a NA in many years so they may all look like that now.

Nintendo finally releases an official Zelda timeline.

Quote

left timeline is the past you left behind in OoT (aka Link fails)
center timeline is the past you arrived at after defeating Ganon in OoT
right timeline is the future you arrived at in OoT

Twilkitri · « **Reply #637 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:08:25 PM »

Never having finished Ocarina of Time, I may be missing some information here, but I'm not understanding how the setup changes in any meaningful way between the left and right timelines? Surely Link failing in the past should lead to an essentially equivalent future as him disappearing in the past? (Unless the implication is that he stayed in the future in the right fork and changed things from there...?)

metroid composite · « **Reply #638 on:** December 21, 2011, 09:51:04 PM »

I believe the right timeline is "Link defeats Gannondorf in OoT, and that timeline continues".

The actual ending of OoT (center timeline) is some BS where they remove Gannon from the timeline completely, and suddenly Hyrule wasn't ruled by Gannondorf for 7 years. (Even though they only defeat him in the future). Basically, OoT's cannon ending doesn't actually make sense.

Too long, didn't watch because the guy's voice is kind of annoying: Many of the companies lobbying the hardest to pass SOPA were in turn practically the sole distributors of file sharing and DRM removal software, particularly CNET (owned by CBS). Additionally most of these download sites provided detailed instructions on how to use the software to download copyrighted material, often providing embedded links to the material itself. Based on a previous SCOTUS ruling (MGM v. Grokster Copyright Ruling), this makes them liable for any acts of piracy committed by third parties (that part's at 4:17).

So. Yeah. That's a thing that has happened.

Eh, you already had to preorder Mario Kart Double Dash to get the extras for FE7, so this isn't that new for the series. Of course in that case you got a good game as well!

And if it's the same as the MKDD content that would be fine (i.e. just stat boost items). Something like 25 cents per +1 stat would be a-ok with me; I might even use it if I found a sufficiently hilarious reason to do so. (I did, after all, go for the MKDD disc to set up an ultimate Florina team to use against Excal who hates Florina).

On the other hand, if this is like...pay to unlock characters and bonus missions, then it may be time to pull out my fork of stabbing.
