Damn I hate being a late-comer to subjects like this. Ok, pick one really old post and....

No, I have never played "Jepordy".

After reading that EGM story on Soul Calibur 3, I'm cautiously optimistic about the game. I'm sure it'll be decent, but the game has had a relatively short development schedule, and doesn't seem to have any new gameplay features outside of the create-a-character mode-- Extra modes are nice, but I'd expect some new tweaks to the fighting engine. Plus those new characters look amazingly out of place-- It's like they were designed by a completely different character designer than the others.

As for KH2, it has a new Utada Hikaru song in it, so I'm gonna get it regardless of whether or not it sucks. The story seems to have gotten a bit over-complicated with the whole multiple versions of every character thing, but I'm sure they'll find a way to explain it-- After all, this isn't a Hideo Kojima game. Plus, in the year since KH took place, Kairi got hot :D. Hot like a fucking volcano. A volcano that I want to stick my penis in. Cause it's hot.

Wow, I'm really fucking pathetic.

By the way, has anyone here played Killer 7? I always thought it <i>looked</i> interesting, and now that the price has dropped, it's looking more tempting.

Quite frankly, I'd purchase the create-a-character mode as a patch for SC2.

This fall/holiday season sucks for consoles. The DS, however, is finally getting a good bolster to its library. With that and the upcoming price drop, I'm going to pick one up.

Well, maybe not to me. After all my current obsession isn't exactly attractive to many, but Wind Waker Ganon is a pretty hot guy to me.

I'm pretty excited for the Mulan world, it's my fave Disney film, but I'm still sad for the lack of Vivi as far as I'm concerned.

I never knew swirly orange eyebrows were attractive.

He did punch a little kid right in the face though, which is always a plus in my book.

Gannon in Wind Waker was kinda of interesting-- They actually gave him some personality and explained his motives a little. Plus, he died in the coolest way possible. Every final boss fight should have a climax like that.

You know who IS a hot guy? Squirrelknight.

I would actually be lying if I said I didn't like those swirly eyebrows...because I do (I also like them on an artistic level, so everytime I draw Ganon, them swirly eyebrows are there to stay).

Agreed. I felt so much pity for that man, it really got to me, and yes, his "death" was damn awesome.

I've always thought J-Man was pretty attractive.

I think Esrever was "taking the piss", as they say.

This may sound fangirlish, but I'm anticipating KHII for this level alone:

Old-school, B&W Disney + Sora for the win.

Holy fuck I need to play that.

Indeed, seeing that scan filled me with childish glee as well=D Now if they just throw in Scrooge Mcduck...

I'm surprised Sora's hair is that complex in his B&W form though. You'd think it would have been simplified to fit with the style....eh, whatever.

It's funny! I remember being equally excited back in the day when I first saw the Steamboat Mickey level of Mickey Mania for the Genesis. Now that seems so basic an homage compared to this.

Oh! In the black and white world, will there be Japanese people called 'Slant-Eyes'?

Man, that is so FUCKING extreme. On a scale of 1 to 10 - 1 being not so extreme and 10 being extremely extreme - I give that a 9.5!

Seifer from FF8 is in the game also, and I demand that either Rinoa or Quistis be put in to balance out this sausage fest. The fangirls can pleasure themselves to Orlando Bloom or Cloud or whatever, but what do I have? A fucking fifteen year-old girl. Albeit a hot one. But that's more of G. Silv's or Popcorn's kinda thing.

How much longer until KH2 comes out?

Sora in his Steamboat Willie form is just so durn adorable. I will love the level even more if the sound effects and music actually sounds 1928-ish.

Forget Orlando Bloom and his girly looks, or Cloud and his overrated crap. I want friggin' Vivi, damn it! Louder so Tetsuya Nomura can hear it: FRIGGIN' VIVI..........or at least Rufus Shinra, he's a hot dude and doesn't look girly.

How much longer until KH2 comes out?

When I actually see it in game stores. The games been given so much official date releases only to have it delayed that I'll believe it when I see it.

Too bad that it is Nomura's game and he seems to be only able to use characters from the FF games he have been involved in. So no FF1-6, FF9(and possibly FF12) characters in KH as of now. Meh. =P

But in the mean time...

Lets all oogle at these pics since this game is actually coming out this year.
Sometime next year.

I'm aware of this, but I'm keeping a sense of hope due to one recent interview where Nomura stated he feels more confident on doing other character designs aside from his own. Although even he considered putting other character designs then his own, it looks a bit late to put Vivi in.............unless he kept it a well-hidden secret that the public isn't aware of.

If Nomura were to re-do some of Yoshitaka Amano's character designs, I get the feeling he'd replace the swirliness and artsy-fartsy-ness with extra belt buckles and jewelry. And every girl would look like Rinoa with a haircut. Like Yuna did. Or how Tifa looks in Advent Children.

Not that I'm complaining. All 3 of them are hot.

Oh, and I should mention that OPM is going to have a playable of Shadow of the Colossus in their next issue. They're also going to review and do a cover story on it, so that should make the issue mandatory reading for everyone here. OPM is getting pretty cool... They also did a cover story on Ico back in the day, and they were one of the few "mainstream" print magazines to give Ico a lot of coverage. I'm not sure if I actually want to play a SotC demo... that kinda preview is like masturbating a few minutes before you get laid.
