E 4 ALL, Kid Rages WoW match
darkair 10.05.08 - 7:29 PM (23 hours ago)	12 comments

This kid at E for ALL is mad for just losing a WoW event. Everyone notice's that he is making a fool out himself. I thought he was going throw something at him or fight. His friend is trying to calm him down. I'm not sure if the kid got his "Gamer Grub" or not? I not even sure if this kid got kick out of this event? I'm also wondering if the kid knew he was being recorded, it sure is funny to watch. He could not play in a teamwork environment, instead of pissing off his friend. I'm pretty sure they are not friends anymore after this. It reminds me of the kid who was so crazy, that he destroyed his keyboard. A very small crowd at E for all this weekend. Maybe they should try moving it to next e3 event just like what TGS does.

Super Mario RPG promo video
darkair 10.05.08 - 6:36 PM	7 comments

This is a preview of Super Mario RPG from the V-Jump Festival in 1995. Yes Miyamoto is in the video, talks about the game. It's all in Japanese so there is no english sub text in it. I just noticed a big head Mario in 3-D and it reminded me of Super Mario 64 (big head) intro. So probably the big head was not in the final game until 64 game (video right below).

I remember renting Super Mario RPG for the first time and I didn't know much what it was at time except for Mario. I played some of it was great at the time. I didn't know what was an RPG because I didn't know what rpg' were. I had The SEGA GENESIS which I still happily own today. My friend had one, but I'm not sure if he still owns a SNES or not. He told me what were RPG's back then and especially Final Fantasy, which he did not own. Wikipedia says "Square-Enix is considering bringing back Super Mario RPG by making a sequel on the DS. The sequel would include more characters from the Final Fantasy universe.” However, there has been no such confirmation from either Nintendo or Square Enix." But strongly prefer it on the Wii even if they were DS graphics. I really would Chrono Trigger DS to be on the Wii because I don't own a DS. I wouldn't want to play it on a small screens.

There is the Mario rpg fan made music video provided by Scrixx blog, which is kind of good. If you care to watch it or not.

darkair 10.04.08 - 10:34 PM	6 comments

My questions are:

Did anyone go to E For ALL this week?
What was the best thing at E 4 all?
Did have a fun time?
Was it bigger than last year event or the same?
Was Microsoft Booth great or not?
Are you guys going this Sunday?

What was the day like E 4 ALL?
meaning what are you planning to do at the event.
Bye that's all for now

You can comment here or go straight to the the forum E For ALL (2008)

I know this is not the right place to put it, but just trying to get the word out.

Funny Nintendo stuff.
darkair 10.03.08 - 1:42 AM	5 comments

"Livet i 8 bitar"
Nintendo World 8-Bit championship. Okay so this movie seems to be in foreign (Sweden). The dude seems to want to go and qualify for the Nintendo event. For a few seconds you think you just a new power glove, but it's not just a hand glove protector. I'm trying to find out more information a bout this movie, oh wait its called "Livet i 8 bitar" (2002). imdb.com says: The story of J whose goal is to be world master at playing Nintendo. He struggles with his traditional Jewish family and non-Jewish girlfriend who demand that he grow up and get a job. Real problems arise when he awakes to discover that his right hand is missing. I'll try to rent this movie if I can it or not. I heard it was not that great, seems less funny.

This one below seems funny how movie did it wrong as usual. It's only one player at a time. He not playing power glove correctly so it's unreal point of view.

This ipod touch seems like DS
darkair 10.02.08 - 10:43 PM	4 comments

This ipod touch commercial is reminding of the DSi. It just felt as if I were watching a DS/PSP commercial, but no just fooling me. The I see ipod touch having video game being a lot superior in graphics and everything else, will the ipod touch beat the handled competition or not? The resaon I'm posting this because I just saw commercial today. Of course ipod touch is expensive than a psp or DS. Pretty sure the next psp will have touch screen innovation and more data space in it. It's like saying what is going to go on TGS 2008, for the video game industry.

Creepy Wii commercial
darkair 10.01.08 - 2:40 PM	11 comments

Be careful, I warned you it's not like the Jim Henson's Muppet Show.

This is the creepiest Wii commercial seen on youtube, I found it accidentally. I'm just wondering were are the actors? I think the language is French so I don't know what the hell they are saying. Eating something from wii remote is strange, yum yum sounds. I noticed how they put fake screen shots of there own. The last thing I noticed, they were playing Wii fit game in video.
