What a shitty "article". Hur durr, Para Para Paradise looks dumb and no, AMERICAN AUDIENCES (Tm) weren't ready for it. Guess what, nobody cares, the world doesn't circle around your fucking country.


The second one is worse, tough:

Is really a cockpit now considered a "weird video game controller"? Wow



Also, Uniracers is an amazing game and the biggest reason I would buy SNES. That said, I don't think it's rare and Manic Mansion and DoTT isn't rare either, just expensive.

I totally want a CTF mounted on the wall somewhere. I'm not sure exactly what I'd want to control with it, maybe just lights or a fan. But I want one. :lol:

hmm.....

when this comes out (if it ever does), I want to see which character gets which plot of land?!

Does Dan get Mediterraninan or Baltic?

What about Blanka's Electric Company?

what are we going to draw on Poison's 'Community Chest'?

Does Birdie win 2nd prize in a beauty contest?

The puns could go on and on!

Question! Is the hardcore streetfigther fan gonna buy this?

^ Ever play Nintendo monopoly? They have it at a local game store here, but I hate Monopoly so much that I'll never buy it.

BoringSupreez mentioned it earlier, but yeah, thankfully Hobie is away and so won't be bothered by such idiocy.

Some Classic games get the webomics treatment.

Two of my fave things that come together, I'm game!

Gonna read these when I have time.

Found the article here: http://www.comicsalliance.com/2012/02/2 ... webcomics/

Looks like this story should go in the "Game stop good bad ugly thread?"

But I'll post this in my thread.

http://www.courthousenews.com/2012/03/22/44915.htm

It looks like a disabled person is suing Gamestop and another retailer over not being allowed to use their service animal in the building.

I think theres gonna be a settlement. This could be bad publicity for our "store we love to hate"

I know some members here are disabled and how would you react to this type of situation?
