[COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Alright, even though Round 3 won't be up until later today or even tommorow, I've put together the winners on a chart. This is how we'll be deciding the winner of the tournament:[/COLOR] [/FONT] [center][img]http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/332/roundrobincopywn0.jpg[/img][/center]

[quote name='Retribution][size=1']I do think, however, that Nintendo is going to get a few penis jokes in the near future.[/size][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]And you were correct. Before I bring back the Wii thread with an actual post, I'd just like to give you guys a few links to some funny pictures dealing with the Wii. Viewer Discretion is advised, some of these images are a little crude. Click [url=http://home.planet.nl/~kwart032/wii.jpg][B]here[/B][/url], [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/krypt0nian/38cc.gif][B]here[/B][/url], [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/krypt0nian/29oc.gif][B]here[/B][/url], [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/krypt0nian/15on.gif][B]here[/B][/url], [url=http://i2.tinypic.com/xlbawy.png][B]here[/B][/url], [url=http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b115/markpatterson007/Wii.jpg][B]here[/B][/url], and [url=http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/8250/wii3oc.gif][B]here[/B][/url]. Now to what I really came here to talk about. It turns out that my dream is a reality, the Wii isn't actually always slanted. It's only the stand that it sits on (proof [url=http://gigazine.net/img/2006/05/10/Wii_Hardware/Wii_take_0501.jpg]here[/url]). I'll definitely be sitting my Wii horizontally ontop of my TV since there will be no cords at the front. :animesmil [/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Charles']Oh no, it really is what I meant.[/quote] [COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]I'm disappointed, lol. :angel: I checked out the link you posted in the PS3 thread, Charles, and I've gotta say that I'm shocked. I honestly did not think that the PS3 was not only that fat... but that misshaped. It looks like a wide treasure chest welded to a PS2 Slim. I think the wood model may be a little off, though. I always thought [url=http://hitech.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/xbox360_ps3_nintendo_revolution_size.jpg]this[/url] to be the different sizes. I think that as far as Shape and Size goes, Wii is by far the victor. The 360 looks nice, but it just doesn't compare with this:[/FONT] [/COLOR] [center][img]http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/4833/picture10jo.png[/img][/center] [font=tahoma][color=#555555]Come on! The controller, which fits comfortably inside your palm, is as tall as the system! I think it's awesome when a system can fit inside the front pocket of your backpack.[/color][/font]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Hey, Gamerslegacy. Welcome to OtakuBoards! Generally on OtakuBoards we don't allow threads that involve illegal activities in anyway and, although modding is only illegal in certain countries, one of those countries may be where some of the members reside. This also seems to be your first post, so I'm going to assume that you have joined OB just to ask these questions. So I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have any questions feel free to PM myself or Bombu. [B]Thread locked.[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Ikillion][COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][FONT=Comic Sans MS]I do agree though. The PS3 person should have been MUCH bigger, since the PS3 is bigger than an Xbox I think, funny stuff.[/FONT][/SIZE'][/COLOR][/quote] [COLOR=DimGray][FONT=Tahoma]Somehow I don't think that's why Charles thought she should be bigger. Regardless, this video was pretty funny. It definitely had that Mac commercial feel (though I agree with r2 about those ones being funnier) and it even pointed out a flaw here or there. Well, sort of. But yeah, it was fun to watch, and I can't wait until the system comes out. In case you happen to be extremely anxious about the Wii, I suggest watching [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35I6Du2eVsQ]this[/url] video aswell. It's not supposed to make you laugh, but it's pretty interesting.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Heya, atsu. Just pointing out that your post quality is lacking a little bit. Try to read-over your post and fix any spelling errors it has. It's sort of hard to read at the moment. Please take a look over the [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/rules.php?]Rules[/url] and take note that proper post quality is in there. See you![/FONT][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=Aaryanna][COLOR=SeaGreen]And when it comes to others, well in less than 10 minutes of you holding her she'll start licking you since she just loves everyone. And she could care less what your empathy score is. So I'd say her score for empathy is probably 200 and then some! ^_~ [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Yeah it's too bad you don't have cat. They're much better. ;) And Delta, don't feel bad. You've got inventor in your title. That takes not only creativeness, but smarts aswell. >.>;; I also admit that I'm shocked that Retri's femininity wasn't 100. Something must have gone wrong when he was doing the quiz. Zing! :bdance:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Bombu][color=#8B0000']My favourite aspect of Lylat Wars was the Star Wolf team. It was such a cool concept to me to have a rival squad to fight against, no matter conventional it is. I mean, after hearing Star Wolf come out with his awesome one-liner of "What the heck?!" I was hooked for life.[/color][/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]You should play Star Fox Assault. That game really did SF64 justice and Star Wolf's squad was re-introduced with a new member (who's actually really cool). Back to the topic on-hand. Anyway, I do the exact same thing as you do, Charles. Everyonce in a blue moon my friends and I go to my friend Steve's house and play a bunch of old-school video games on his modded XBOX. Four 16 year olds playing the original Mario Party at midnight counts for endless laughs. Star Fox 64 is one game that we frequently visit (along with GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Diddy Kong Racing). Obviously the graphics were nothing special --it [i]is[/i] N64-- but there's just something about flying around in a spaceship shooting your opponent's wings off. And PWNED, I whole-heartedly agree. I think the only game that matches SF64 (besides Assault) in Flight Combat is Crimson Skies. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=DeathKnight][color=crimson]*starts up some group therapy* So.. tell me you guys, how are you feeling? OB is back, I know, but I know we all went through some tough times the last twenty four hours. Just.. don't hold back, let it out. Let the healing begin.[/color][/QUOTE] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]Oh, Ken it was horrible. :( I resorted to visiting Newgrounds. And I [i]enjoyed[/i] myself. :animecry:[/FONT][/COLOR]

[QUOTE=SunfallE][COLOR=RoyalBlue]Damn! Now Sara won?t associate with me either! :animecry: [/COLOR][/QUOTE] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I guess this means I can't associate with you, either. ;__; The quiz really nailed my empathy score. I think 90 is a very accurate number for me. And my Aesthesticness is just on the nose (100!). My attention to style is [b]96[/b]! Come on, these are the scores of a perfect boyfriend. :cool: [/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]I really like the ECHO piece. The only problem I have is that for a logo, it's got too many colours. The rectangles are cool, but they might look better if they just went from white to the blue you have for Echo. My other beef with this piece would be that you can't really read the blue writing at the bottom. Maybe just darken it a bit? The picture one is kind of cool. I like how you got a picture of Alexander on the computer. Pretty cool idea. The top right square is also cool with the blurry numbers and whatnot. But the left squares are just kind of bland. Needs more text or something. :p[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]It's definitely worth looking into. You're right about the graphics, they look alright. They have that cartoony, Viewtiful Joe look to them while still remaining realistic, which is cool. And the battle sequences screenshots really look awesome. But some of the character designs are kind of lacking. They look very average, and the gameplay shots of them are also nothing special. In the end I don't think it's anything to get excited about. I may rent it, and if it surprises me I'll buy it. But it just looks like a FFIII cop-out.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[quote name='Charles']Lastly, it's confirmed: the archaic save system sucks.[/quote] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]That... is true. I can't really counter that. I think the main thing Dead Rising has got going for itself is how [strike]completely awesome[/strike] original it is. Seriously, there have been zombie games before (Resident Evil, Silent Hill to name a few) but none where you could throw a bowling ball at one zombie and turn around with a golf club and ***** slap another one! It's great! It's also just so much fun. There's just something about slaughtering walking corpses that makes my day. [b]EDIT:[/b] VGCats has made a comic making fun of Dead Rising.

[QUOTE=John]I don't think games with controllers will ever go away, really. Virtual reality would be fun, but it'd just be different from controller gaming, not superior. Much in the same way that the Wii will be probably the most advanced game controller (well, in-package controller. I can't really speak for third party controllers lol) to date, but that doesn't mean it's definitely better than a good old, two-handed solid gamepad. And as for what I think VR gaming will be like? Well, I wouldn't be surprised if it got banned worldwide pretty quick lol. A lot of horror games, for example, could cause permanent trauma to many younger gamers (hell, maybe I shouldn't even rule out older gamers either), and while gory shooters right now might not desensitize kids to violence and the idea of committing violent crimes, I'd bet big money that virtual reality ones would easily. ...Other than that, I guess it'd be fun. =)[/QUOTE] [color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]They would probably be super strict about what games are released to the public. I sincerely doubt a zombie game that scares the **** out of 20 year olds would be released to the world. If it was they might just put a block on the game They could have strict ratings. And yeah, you're thinking "Well that never did anything" and you're right. But I don't know, they could just have you enter your birthdate when you got your VR System so it knows how old you are. Or you have to be 18 or older to buy it and so your parents buy it for you and while there the video game guys make your parents create seperate accounts for anyone who'll be using the system (password-protecting each one and punching in the birth date of each user in their account). I don't know. I'm sure they would think of plenty of ways to work around it.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[color=#555555][FONT=Tahoma]This game has got to be [i]the[/i] best zombie game ever made. Click [url=http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/748/748396.html]here[/url] for some videos on it and you'll immediately know why. [center][img]http://www.spieletester.com/uploads/tests/xbox360/Dead_Rising/deadrising_logo.jpg[/img][/center] Basically you're a photographer who's dropped off by helicopter at this mall. Your to be picked up in 72 hours (5 minutes real time for every 1 hour game time). Here's the catch. You ready? The mall is filled with zombies. There has got to be at least a thousand. Basically you run around (this being in the first mode you can choose) the mall finding civilians and killing zombies. Mainly killing zombies, though. What do you kill them with? Everything. Your hands, baseball bats, soccerballs, teddy bears, drills, bowling balls, cars, wood, golf clubs, other zombies, you name it. I only got to play it for like 2 hours since my friend is the one who owns the 360, but dang was it fun. And it was just as fun to watch as it was to play. If you haven't already, rent it. It's great.[/FONT][/COLOR]
