What are you playing today?

[K2J]

I got it a few months back, but haven't really had time to experiment with it too much. Friend Code is 0861-8400-7064. I've also got the WiiWare showcase, if you prefer that.

[gr4yJ4Y]

Isn't this part of Nintendogs & Cats? I haven't really paid much attention to what Nintendo's announced about it.

*Has never actually played Nintendogs; has assumed there's nothing more to it than owning a virtual dog.

So, because I haven't paid attention to a game's sequel I have never played the first one?

I have. Derp.

[Dr. BUGMAN]

No I haven't! Hence the asterisk.

[K2J]

Asterisks typically indicate correction. A pair of asterisks indicate self-action.

[Neo]

A single asterisk typically indicates textual or factual correction. A ^ indicates one's own deduction upon reading the offending post, and was what gr4yJ4Y interpreted it as.

K2J: I might very well take you up on that offer, since I don't think you can send a whole batch of stuff at once through the DS. That being said, DS code is 3052 3437 1132, Wii code is 1422 5063 6895 0228. Now I'll just need your Wii code and maybe within the next 24 hours we will have completed the handshake in Nintendo's state-of-the-art online gaming model.

Except I was anticipating on being called out on something so, so, so, so incredibly inane.

Aaaaaaand we've come full-circle.

It's a good thing there aren't any pedants here!

Showcase doesn't need a second code, right? Just the Wii system code? I can't find a second one anywhere, and I feel like that's too good to be true. My system code is 4305-6168-1521-4154.

*aren't

[Dr. BUGMAN]

Given the context, I'd say it was deliberate.

[Delphine]

I don't know what you guys are talking about.

[gr4yJ4Y]

Definitely deliberate. You dirty green named something something....

[Senbei]

*Pompous wench?

[Delphine]

There's a story behind the spelling of pmpous.

[Senbei]

Just 'cause nothing's been added to the Abyss for an ice age doesn't mean we've all forgotten about it!

I beat Vanquish about a week ago, and then I beat it again. Not very long! It was good, stupid fun -- basically Gears on speed. I think the best feature was the quality of Burns' one liners. For example:

"More like getting good at looking like an asshole!"
and
"Thank God I'm an atheist!"

[Tsuyoshi-kun]

Lots of Smash Bros. Brawl playing recently. Especially playing as Yoshi for some reason.

[Neo]

We should all play Brawl. With each other. Over the internet. I mean, why the fuck not? I remember following the discussion topic in this forum along with the Dojo updates, but I never played against any of you. It is actually a fun game, though it'd be cumbersome to set up games via a forum.

So why don't we have an IRC channel again?

[K2J]

I haven't really played Brawl that much besides matchmaking. Is it any better with codes?

[Neo]

Well, it is in the sense that you're playing against people you know (somewhat better), and there's no unpredictable sudden lagging due to a recent joiner and stuff. You can customize the round all the way you want with rules, items and CPU characters, which I think you can't do in the matchmaker? So yeah, it's sort of better.

Add me, you sons-of-bitches.

[gr4yJ4Y]

I'm down for some internet Buwawl. Remind me to look up my codes later.

[Locit]

I don't think I'm allowed to talk about the game I'm playing today. D :

[Blount]

Damn, beaten to the punchline.

done, dawg

I was going to edit my post in the online gamestation topic to include my friend codes and then link it here but then I realised THE FORUM STOPS LETTING YOU EDIT POSTS ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER YOU FIRST SUBMIT THEM so I did the next best thing.

<-- Somewhere over here should be a little button with a planet on it, it's supposed to be a visual synonym of "Internet" for some reason. Click it and you should see a page where I just dumped all the friend codes I could think of so I never have to look for them again.

I'll add you two.

This past week I've been playing DJ Hero. I got bored easily when I was playing on Medium, but the move up to Hard made it for me. I like that there's setlists you pick from and play through in one go before returning to the menu screen as opposed to picking one song (or "mix" in this case) at a time. Every mix in the game is a mash-up between two songs that are either fairly well known and/or by one of the featured DJs (Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, and a few others). You have to switch back and forth at the appropriate time while pressing buttons on the turntable and scratching. It makes for a good experience that might not be on par with Elite Beat Agents, but reminds me of playing Guitar Hero I and II a few years back before that became what it is today.
