Indeed! Very colorful and fluid. Incredible for such an old console.
I was really shocked by that one, too. The number of sprites on screen and the fluidity of the animation blew my mind!

Fallout: New Vegas must not have been very popular. My Walmart still has copies of the game for PS3 that have the sticker across the top that says "Do Not Sell Before 10/19/2010."

The Augusta, Maine Target has those too! They're on the discount rack now.

Where's our Road Rash reboot huh EA?

I mean fuck we've revived pretty much every other franchise on the planet, so why not Road Rash?

I want to knock people off of motorcycles in GLORIOUS HD dammit!

I've been playing some Road Rash 2 on the genny lately and it is still rad as it ever was.

I think if EA rebooted it, they would charge you microtransations for weapons (download the "Chain" pack for only 1$!!), make you sign into some bullshit EA Road Rash Online to play, and make half of the game as an unlock code that only comes with brand new copies.

I'm not jaded or anything though hehehe. :lol:

I've probably buzzed my hair 10 or so times in the last year... I initially did it in a fit of self-loathing, but it's become something of a semi-monthly cleansing exercise. Today was the first time I didn't have to break out the clippers several hours after I thought I was done because of all the funny uneven parts I left behind! Beats the hell out of spending $20+ a pop at the barber.

Can BBC Radio reporters stop pimping their Twitters and Facebooks? That shit makes me nauseous.

You ever do that thing where you have a new game that you haven't tried out yet and you keep looking at it but the thought doesn't even cross your mind to pop it in and give it a go?

Well, that happened to me with Lost in Shadow, I realized a couple of days ago that I've had it for like 4 months now and haven't so much as taken it out of the case. I figured my Wii could use the attention so I put the game in. I'm pretty glad that I did. I like the feel of it, it's very reminiscent of Ico and apparently that was just the kind of thing I needed to get me interested in a game right now. I think I might actually finish this one.

Yeah... I bought Metroid Prime 3 about a year and a half ago from Gamestop, and I still haven't even tested it.

So nonchalant about so blatant a travesty.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I got A Boy and His Blob brand-new over a year ago, and still it sits, perfectly sealed.
