just some ideas, just brainstorming:

  • Test Drive Unlimited
  • new Fat Princess
  • Sonic 4 Episode I
  • Sonic 4 Episode II
  • Mega Man Powered Up
  • Mega Man Universe
  • Maverick Hunter (the MMX FPS rebooted as a 3D side scroller, like Mirror of Fate)
  • Eye of Judgment 3
  • Marvel Trading Card Game reboot
  • Duels of the Planeswalkers 2014
  • Injustice: Gods Among Us
  • Resistance Retribution: Vita Edition (60 fps, no hackers, improved controls, improved online latency, etc)
  • "Mr Driller V" (or at least Mr. Driller the PSone classic released to the west finally)
  • Daytona USA 2001 (Dreamcast version ported to PSN, with online play intact)
  • Bomberman: Act Zero PSN

edit: The Daytona USA idea gives me another idea.. Chu Chu Rocket. Dreamcast version. With online play intact. Because.. why not? And because 56k blew. The game would find new life on the Vita.

edit: not a game, but a Dead or Alive 5 nude mod would be a moving gesture.

I think at this point I'd like to see anything on the Vita.

This is just a quick post about people who claim to have OCD when they obviously don't. The most recent example of this is when Drew was talking bout super meat boy in the day 2 goty video. I have actual OCD, that means Obessive Compulsive Disorder, and let me tell you, there is way more to OCD than just wanting to collect everything in a video game. This will probably get shut down but i just wanted to say it pisses me off. You dont have OCD shut up. Also this goes for everyone who does that same sort of thing its not just Drew. Also i totally dont hate Drew i think hes super cool actually i just dont like it when people say they have OCD when they really dont, and probably dont even know that much about the condition and how much it can negatively affect people's lives.

I have OCD but for some reason it doesn't piss me off when people say they do in regards to gaming.

Why not? Dunno, but I guess I define OCD as a symptom (not the disorder itself) or as something measured in degrees.

Or maybe because I know people are kidding when they say it.

Though on the topic, there is that one TV show called Monk, and that show kind of irked me at some point because I got the feeling Monk's symptoms change on a whim. Though even then I'm reluctant to bash the show for it because technically I'd be insensitive to the character. -_-

This game was released recently (April 23 I think) to the US store, but is it any good? A must-own, perhaps, or just your run of the mill licensed game? Are there randomly triggered encounters? The game is $19.99 and I hear it's Vita compatible. (I just hope it's PSP compatible too, lol.) Should I get this?

Cons

  • There are none.

bwahahaha

Then again, I don't own a car, and probably the cost factors weigh heavily in favor of manual.

But to say there are no cons... if I could choose between a manual or auto and the cost and upkeep cost of both cars the same.. I would choose auto.

Driving is a lot of hassle as it is, you want your full attention on the road, and all around you. Not on the stick.

It could be argued that having to be aware of gear changes requires the driver to be fully engaged in driving, while an automatic transmission allows for multi-tasking.

Someone previously mentioned that they may be eating or drinking something while driving, which isn't all that bad, but talking on a phone or much worse texting is commonplace, all of the above are much more difficult to do with a manual gear box.

It could be argued, but it would be a terrible argument.

Would you care to elaborate why it would be such a terrible argument?

Something occurred to me btw, you're basically saying it would be better if everyone drove a manual, not that manual is actually more practical for the driver.

The other interpretation to your argument, and the one I was thinking of when I responded, was "I like being restricted, because it FORCES me to drive safely."

Nowhere in my post did I suggest that "it would be better if everyone drove a manual".

I don't understand the whole "being restricted" part, you're restricted every time you drive your car, whether or not you drive a manual, in many places it's out right illegal to use your phone while driving, would you say you're being restricted because of the imposed speed limits that FORCE you to drive safely?

I dont feel there is a preferred transmission choice, the car im currently driving utilizes a torque converter, dont try to make it sound like I have some silly pro-manual trans Nazi agenda.

What I was trying to say is that someone could just not use the phone while driving auto.

Sure, my roommate doesn't carry any sort of bag to work, so he bought a reg 3DS because the dimensions allow it to fit into his pants pocket much more reasonably. That is a reasonable consideration. But mass comparisons? Really? Unless you have a significant physical disability, the difference of a hundred grams is completely irrelevant. Cannot tell if serious.

Lighter weight is a good perk in general. (see also PSP-2000/3000 vs PSP-1000) However the existence of a top screen magnifies that difference in weight. Especially when using the dpad instead of the slider, and considering the general unergonomicness of the XL model.

Admittedly, it could just be me.

#10 Edited by egg (893 posts) - 23 days, 13 hours ago

Do you really want an XL? Here is a weight comparison:

  • 214 grams - DSi
  • 218 grams - DS Lite
  • 230 grams - 3DS
  • 275 grams - DS fat
  • 314 grams - DSi XL
  • 336 grams - 3DS XL

XL also comes in fewer colors, and is imho a bit ugly.

That said, some people online claim to have upgraded to the XL and view it as an improvement.
