Hey Destructoid. After playing some CoD4 with you guys, I got that insatiable urge that only Mario Kart can fix. When I went to my Wii to fire up some VC Mario Kart 64, I suddenly realized that I don't have any Dtoid buddies on my Friends List. Certainly a Sad Panda.
Well I'm here to fix that! Anyone who has a Wii and room on their list post your code here!!!12evlevn

I have already posted this in the Forum Topic as well. I don't see much hope in it
Quick Q's:
-Any really good Mr. Destructoid Miis out there?
-Which online games do you have/looking forward to on the Wii?
-Can the American VC Pokemon Snap export the pictures to the message board like the Japanese one can? Anyone know how to do this?
Spoilers: It doesn't actually kill anyone at the end.
I still need to get some more MS points to get the new maps and some more songs for Rock Band.
(I can't wait to see my friend try and play "...and justice for all" on drums)
Also; I'm sorry to Powerglove and GuitarAtomik. During out rock out, things got a bit hectic, controllers were randomly disconnected and douchbagery abounded. I hope neither of you actually went to meatspin because of our singer.
Let me first say that I haven't played much of the Phoenix Wright games, but many of my friends have. I've heard a good portion of the soundtrack and know pretty much all the cases just by being around them.
Now let's get on with it. Two Phoenix Wright Albums. I found the first one from a friend (probably "best" PW player among us, has played each game at least 2-4 times just from the amount of help he has given out) when we were talking about Classical/Orchestra versions of Video Game Soundtracks (Trusty Bell What?) and he had mentioned the Orchestrated Phoenix Wright Album that he recently "acquired". Being the music whore that I am, I just had to "acquire" it myself. The second one just came to me from some searching for a good album art for the first. A bit a matlocking brought me a quick download for the second.
Evidence A, Your Honor:
Gyakuten Meets Orchestra
Pretty Good. I love what they did to Godot's theme. Fragrance of Dark Coffee, it's just like Dark Hot Sex in a Cup and not what Ron and Lemon do on Sundays. The rest of the album is pretty good as well. The courtroom themes for each game are great. The whole soundtrack is redone very well. It keeps it's "murder is serious business" tone while adding in this new classy theme to the mix that just can't be portrayed very well with DS sound limits. (Also, random side note, I think I killed my DS' speakers. D: )
Evidence B, Your Honor:
Gyakuten Meets Jazz Soul
Certainly my favorite of the two. This is the Jazz rendition of all the music. This one has an "interesting" take of the "OBJECTION!" theme, one which you really don't expect. This album makes me want to wear a barret and sit around with coffee all day. This CD would make great music to relax or work too.
Both of these will certainly be on my playlist for a while to come.
It should be noted that both soundtracks contain the (basically) same songs, just played by different people with different instruments. But don't have this deter you from getting both, as they each put a different, unique spin on the music. To compare the two, just listen to any song and then it's equivalent on the other CD, I swear you will think they are based on completely different songs.
Rock Band comes out next Tuesday.
I have the money, but no reserved copy. You guys think I'll be able to find a copy? I was thinking of heading down to the local EB to pre-order it, but then realized how retarded that would be. The usual story is that most stores would only be getting a few copies of the 360 Bundle and that pre-order list started a long time ago. I think if I can get down to the local Fry's I might be able to find one.
tl;dr - I suck cocks, and the gods of rock might have b& me from this party.
