That would rock.


Anyway, I just noticed Noise has over 15,000 posts now. Didn't he just hit 10,000? He has no life beyond RB, I bet. He'll be hitting 20,000 before we know it.

That is pretty incredible. He passed 10K, then after that point he caught up to and passed my post count! At this rate, he'll hit 20K too soon for it to be a big deal though.

When I first read this, I thought you were being sarcastic. I guess you would have made it blue if you were though.

Do you HAVE to use motion controls with this game? That's such a turn off for me. Assuming that it doesn't, I wish you could use the Classic Controller with this game.

You use the nunchuk for movement but yes, the motion controls are used for the sword. It works well.

That really pisses me off. I mean, I bet the motion controls work great, but I still don't wanna use them. I just wanna use a traditional controller. I had a blast playing Wii Sports when I first got my Wii, but honestly, I really don't wanna be moving my arms around when I'm playing video games. I just wanna sit back and relax, you know? I had fun playing Red Steel, but it got annoying after a while. When I get home from work and I just wanna relaz and play some games, I don't wanna be holding my arm up and moving it around. I was fine with flicking the sideways remote in New SMB or DKC Returns, and I didn't have a problem with the limited use of motion controls in Mario Galaxy, but that's my limit for arm movement when I'm playing video games. Anyways, I think they should REALLY put an option to use the Classic Controller in every game, especially any game that uses excessive motion controls. I was so happy when I found out that Goldeneye was able to use the Classic Controller. I loved that game, but I probably wouldn't have played it much if it only used the Nunchuk/Remote controller setup.

But Noise didn't hit 10K too long ago. Couple of months?

What if the world isn't really round after all, but instead is like the original Mario Bros. where whenever you reach the end, you just pop back through the other side at the beginning.
Isn't it aleady that way? I mean, if you go straight long enough, you're going to end back up where you were.

Yes, this comment is also a veiled '3rd Planet' reference.
