SHOW ME YOUR NEWS! - Gaming News PODCAST (Ep. 76 OUT!, New WEBSITE and iTunes!)

[Cyberlink420]

Hey, Mega Man 9 fans...guess what?

 

[MajorMoses]

Unfortunately, its Coro-coro so its just going to be a dojo rehash.

 

[Rhokk]

That link's taking too long to load for me..so it's not workin..What is it?

Edit: Nevermind..

Fun stuff!

 

[Cyberlink420]

Basically, it's an entry saying that a new entry in one of the Mega Man series is on the way.

 

[Youko]

Swordy's coming over to the SMYN apartment for most of the weekend later today, so we'll be having Stickam up a lot of the time. You know, just as an FYI.

And as much as I'd like to get an episode out this weekend, Panda will be at Midwest Circuit Championships in Indiana, and I'm still waiting for word back from MLG regarding getting iTunes fixed. So it probably will be another week before we get another podcast out.

 

[Cyberlink420]

Hey, that's cool; Take your time.

 

[MajorMoses]

Yay! I've got a Jew convention coming up in an hour thats going to last the whole weekend. Unfortunately that means I miss stickcam. Oh well. I'll be back for the few hours between the end of the convention and the start of the Steelers-Ravens game. GO STEELERS!

BIG NEWS
http://gonintendo.com/?p=68573
This is a new Miyamoto patent (not Nintendo, Miyamoto himself). No one is sure yet, but it looks to be a hint system of some sort or something that allows you to skip parts of the game.

At first glance, one might think that this is a bad thing.
BUT
Think about it. If they make it so that the casual players can just skip the parts that are too hard for them, then they don't have to dumb down our games to make them easier for the casual market.

I think this is really big news if these assumptions are correct.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

It's success is clearly dependent on if they implement it correctly. When done properly, it will not waste space. It will be on the other side of the disc. Also, our games level of challange and depth will not be toned down. If done wrong, it will limit the space they have to work with on their games and look embarassin. I doubt that Nintendo will implement it correctly. Then again, we won't know until a few more years.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

I'm hoping Sonic and the Black Knight has Level skip. I wanna try beating the last level with no skills.

 

[Rhokk]

I don't know..just looking at it, it seems like another "innovation" by Nintendo that probably won't turn out well. But, who knows, maybe it means they can start actually making games difficult again, so that the newbs can just skip the parts they're having problems with..

Or...they'll keep them as easy as they are, and still give really, really sucky players the ability to skip..

Or...nothing will ever come of this patent.

Gah, it's hard to not be cynical regarding Nintendo. They've crushed so many dreams.

 

[AgentJGV]

..I'm sorry but i think that its just going to open the door for people to say they've beaten a game when they've actually just skipped it. Not a fan at this point.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Yeah. Cause beating a game gets you SO much internet credit.


I'm using it for more challenge where I can.

its just a thing i have.

 

[Darkurai]

That's definitely not how it's going to work.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

That's definitely not how it's going to work.

I CAN DREAM CAN'T I?

Also I just realized that if it's like Sonic and the Secret Rings I can do that anyway. =P

Why does that matter to you? It's the player's loss if all they wanna do is skip through the game to "beat" it. Let them think they beat it and have a big ego, it shouldn't matter to you as long as you feel accomplished with what you did with the same game they bought.

Honestly? Why would anyone skip to the final boss just to beat it after they just paid $50 for the game? Then again... people are stupid. -_-

It's really just the fact that you have the option of skipped. The feeling of accomplishment is lessened because you can just skip the hard parts.

 

[Sariku]

Youko... what is the next type of episode? I want to think it's not the SBR, but I'm not sure.

Get in contact with me when you have time. :D Oh, and congrats on the commentary.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Haven't seen you in a while Sariku.

Isn't it SBR? Granted the last one was a flashback. I kinda just started taking odd ones as OSBR and even ones as SMYN. I figured that was the reason he named the one 42.5.

 

[MajorMoses]

Hey, Youko. Who are you going to cheer for during the Super Bowl? Do you have a team that you would have rather had at the championship? I was at the Steelers-Ravens game and it kicked ***. GO STEELERS!

No, Panda sucked. He should've beaten Overswarm, but he made a ******** SD. And the Dedede vs Snake matchup is impossible, so he lost to Joshu. He hates his performance, and knows he should've and could've done much better. Once he gets a character to counter D3, he'll be performing much better.

And he still can't believe that he knocked Kirk to losers. Kirk's Ike >>> Panda's Snake. He got 2 stocked the first game. If he didn't play Olimar on the side, he'd have lost horribly against Kirk.


Talking in the third person is fun.

 

[Cyberlink420]

Cyberlink agrees.

Still, there's always next time, right?

 

[AgentJGV]

Once he gets a character to counter D3, he'll be performing much better.

counter chain grabbing with chain choking. Ganondorf FTW!

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

No johns Panda. =P

I CP DDD with Falco and Pikachu depending on the stage. You might want to give one of them a shot. Diddy does okay too IIRC you play him right?

 

[Exia 00]

MK can't be CGed by DDD <_< I'm against it but it works. lol I main snake and bowser so... ya...

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

Game & Watch is the best solution to DDD. I need an anti-Dedede Character myself and G&W is kinda easy to pickup.

 

[Yoshara]

It's official, Obama is the most bad*** president ever.

 

[Cyberlink420]

Is...is that a Famicom in the second to last pic?!

Regardless, that is awesome. Seriously.

 

[Kirbichu]

Wow, the "twin katana" Obama is sweet.

 

[Youko]

We're going to try to decide on episode 45 details later today. It will be in SBR-format...and maybe some minor changes will be made to the podcast in the future. Gotta talk to da Panda about it, amidst our crazy school schedules.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

PANDA!

http://allisbrawl.com/forum/topic.aspx?id=62940

You going?

Ypsilanti, Michigan. So Anther's sure to go and you could freaking walk there. Free entry. For charity....somehow.....

Youko should totally give it a shoutout.

 

[Cyberlink420]

Provided my schedule's clear, I'll make sure to stop in. I know I'm going to lose, though.

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

Specially cause I may or may not have just convinced Anther to go.

 

[SamuraiPanda]

Anther... lives there. I'll probably do it for the hell of it.

 

[Rhokk]

Panda, you play Olimar on the side? I loves the Olimar!

Also I've kind of started messing around with Snake. I like playing as him, but I don't really know any advanced things to do with him other than mortar-boosting or whatever it's called now..but I kind of want to get better with him. I don't really play competitively, because last tournament I went to I got destroyed, but I'm trying to get better..

 

[Youko]

 

[Terios the Hedgehog]

YES! Called it.

You got the guests lined up?
