Do you think Nintendo shot itself in the foot when it released Metroid, Kart, Galaxy and Brawl so close together. These types of games usually take a longer development process than say Wii sports resort and now it's seems that all we really have is Warioland and Animal crossing to look forward to. Do you think Nintendo could have held back on one or two titles to give itself breathing room? Or is it possible that this is a inevitability with them split between Wii blank/nintendog type games and their classic franchises?

In an interview with one of the guys from the new Prince of Persia game he said something along the lines of game over and continue screens are archaic. Do you guys feel that the time of the game over screens/life bars/continues and even lives is over?

Something that really interests me about Mirror's Edge is that the developer seems to be putting firearms into the game, but then implicitly encouraging you not to use them. The game seems to be about running away from danger instead of blowing it away, which seems pretty radically different than most games on the market (in fact, all that comes to mind is Dino Run...). I've also read that there's an achievement for finishing the game without firing a single bullet. To me this seems like a very daring direction to take a AAA title like this, and I applaud the developers for it.

My question is, does this kind of gameplay sound compelling to anyone but me, or will you all be playing the game as a shooter?

Are you tired of the games media reporting on E3 as an event, discussing it's apparent demise over the last two years rather than focusing on the games themselves? Or are there really so few games in attendance that the gaming community was not familiar with before hand, and we should just dwell on the fact that E3 isn't what it used to be? Do any of you foresee more north american gaming companies making large announcements at events such as Leipzig Games Convention and TGS due to the diminished state of e3? Should I just shut up because asking these questions will just spark more conversation about E3 itself than some swank new games?

Have any of you ever eaten rainbow-coloured sprinkles as a child and were too afraid to tell your parents about what you have done?

Anthony: How was Left 4 Dead? I am looking forward to this game because nothing pleases me more than killing legions of the blood thirsty undead. I noticed there was some new art for the game as well. Do you think this will be an excuse to further delay the game, or a positive step forward? Also, are you aware that firefox does not recognize "undead" as a word?

Also, now that you've played Fallout 3, how miserable do you find the "fallout fans" who are complaining about Bethesda's approach?

Aaron: What will you hold over Anthony's head now that he's had a chance to play Left 4 Dead?

Tiff: How do you feel about the reaction to the announcement of Fat Princess? I know that the Sexism show was influenced heavily by your opinions as the only female cast member, so how do you feel about the feminist reaction to the title?

Jim: How long until you never want to see the number nine thousand again? And yes, I did enter that contest and I am sorry for adding to your troubles.

Bonus picture of some messed up thing I found.


Oddly enough, this is video game related. The owl has the mouth from Abyss (SC3) photoshopped in. Looking forward to hearing the show.

What the hell is wrong with New York? First they ban saturated fats, now this zany video game law to police the police (ESRB). I mean, seriously, what the hell is wrong with New York!? They used to be so cool and edgy. Now, weak and feeble.

You know what's great about Takashi Miike?

Aside from Dead or Alive, Fudoh:The New Generation, City of Lost Souls( super awesome ), Visitor Q and Audition..?

Yeah..nothing.

Rev, is it true that you are nothing more than a filthy puppy loving fraud, and a racist who loves generic FPS' and thinks jumped up indy devs should be lynched?

Do you think that Left 4 Dead will change Co-op games as we know them? Also, do you think playing as a zombie or as a survivor will be more challenging/fun?

Explain that rev! Credit goes to merry-ho

Anyone played New International Track and Field yet? Impressions? Compared to other T&Fs?

Hey podtoid, how's it going? I'd like to ask you all what you feel about the design of the new Prince of Persia's death "sequences" in which you are saved by the girl that follows you around, considered to be a "death" and restart sometime before the sequence took place. Ubisoft asserts that games as a medium have evolved past the need for game over screens, but do you think that this is really the case, and if it is, will other game developers actually follow suit if Prince of Persia sells well (which it probably will)?

Was anyone really that surprised that the Nintendo E3 press conference was so shitty? They've already recently released games for all their franchises, they'll need to time to develop a new Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Smash/Kart etc. Storage solutions? They were already clear on their opinions on that matter.

Really? What's left? More shitty Wii accessories with their shitty Wii titled games. New IP? This is Nintendo.

I just think Nintendo had nothing, so they showed what they got. Just came off like they were focusing on 'casual' gamers now and ignoring the 'core' gamers.

Sadly, it looks the like the biggest piece of news to come out of E3 was the announcement of Final Fantasy 13 no longer being a PS# exclusive, which has spouted countless squabbles between fanboys of both camps. And while this pointless bickering may seems irrelevant and idiotic to the outside viewer (and rightly so since it is.) I wonder though, is this behavioral pattern of open hostility based on allegiance to a larger entity and another persons allegiance to a separate large entity, i not just exclusive to the rabid fanboys but present in all aspects of society?

If you think about it, isn't the console fanboys' arguments incredibly similar to fights between rival sports fans and on a larger scale, wars of opposing religions and countries? As depressing a notion as this is, is faboyism a part of human nature?


Also, how the hell am I supposed to take down six Metal Gear RAYs by myself?

yeah, I got one:

Rev, why do you still live at home? You don't look 12.

What?

Would a cel shaded Sukiyaki Western Django game be the best game ever? I think so.

How do you feel about the death of the dedicated videogame machine? As hardware becomes more powerful, it seems that systems which "only" play games are fading fast. Coming into this generation, there was only one dedicated gaming machine. Despite the Wii having the highest user base, it is not catering to the hobbyist crowd. Do the other systems need added functionality to keep pace in sales?

Oh man, just realized that the question I asked was taken already... must have missed it. Instead I ask you guys this: Why do you think they are bothering to make a dark knight game even though the film will have come out long before it does, and do you have any interest in it at all? I know its not as good, but I ran out of good ideas.

What's great about Miike? It's his dedication to making movies. The man goes at any project he feels he can do something with, and although they're hit-or-miss films, he does a generally good job in terms of directing. Sukiyaki Western Django got its attention because Tarantino was in it and it was all in English -- interesting, but not necessarily an indicator of good.

Go watch Audition or Gozu!

Cammie is a MILF. Discuss.

what will happen first: will destructoid stop covering E3, or will E3 cease to exist altogether?

Talk about Workman.
