Raiden, Star Soldier, Captain Skyhawk. I've seen footage of many more though, and am really impressed by R-Type and Layer Section.

Anyhoo I'm available the usual time on saturday, I assume that will be early enough?

Alright, showtimes we could do are 1:40, 4:30, and 7:20. I'm guessing 1:40 is too early for most people. 4:30 is kind of an awkward time, since assuming we ate afterwards, it would be the busiest time of the night and we'd probably have trouble getting a table at BWW.

So how about we hit BWW at the usual time, 5pm, and then go see Sucker Punch at 7:20, and then Smash at the hot tub store? The hot tub store is halfway between BWW and the movie theater so we could drop some cars off there to consolidate. Does that sound good to everyone? Anyone who wants to get more Smash in can come over to my house before BWW. I'll be there.

1:40 early for most people? I know we're all old, but wow.
Geoff and I may not want to watch movies. If you guys are watching after BWW, driving over at 9 seems too late. How early can we go to your house?

You can come over to my house any time after noon.

I don't think cmart can make the 1:40 show due to work. If he could and everyone else wanted to catch that one, that would be fine with me. We'd get a lot more time to livestream.

We need to decide by tonight though.

Not a good sign..

Also since we're talking about top down shooters, I'll announce to you guys that I'm currently developing one. Its a mix of Zero Gunner 2 with Geometry Wars controls for the Xbox 360.

I'm adding gameplay features never seen in this genre before =)

Cool stuff Laijin. I'll have to take a look sometime. I'm also involved in development for a shooter, but I'd prefer not to talk about it much. At least not until there's something substantive to show for our efforts :]

Yeah, if I get off work right on time, I might be able to make 1:40. If I'm holding everyone else up, I can just skip the movie and catch up with you guys at BWW tho. I don't want to make things awkward.

Was looking forward to proto-waffle. D'ohwell

Bandit and my sister both wanna come see the movie and can only make the 7:20 show, so let's go with the
Smash at my house
BWW at 5pm
Sucker Punch at 7:20
Smash at hot tub store
plan. CTL if you don't wanna stick around for the movie, you can come pretty much as early as you want to my house to smash. Or if you wanna bail that's fine too.

Laijin are you still in?

btw we may have a special guest tomorrow, not a smasher but definitely entertaining.

Ah that's ok. See you next time.

On the bright side, Waffle is now joining us!


Also, I know Sucker Punch has been pretty much slammed by critics, but MovieBob loved it, and says it's the kind of movie that only certain people (i.e. our generation) can really "get," kinda like Scott Pilgrim. We'll find out tonight though. I really want to like it.

Actually, I just abused the fact that her lead can't hurt swellow and double team abused with x speed and x attack. It took a few tries but I got her. Endeavor + aerial ace. I just let her burn swellow, then let it get low HP, heal the burn and endeavor the rest of her pokemon.

Yeah I got it. I gotta say, gimmicky as they are, the Augmented Reality games are pretty amazing. They just ooze potential.

The only game I bought is Rayman because I love Mario 64 and I never played a Rayman game before. Probably not gonna buy anything else until the N64 remakes and Cave Story 3D come out.

Yeah pretty much. Pokemon is objectively the ****.

Monster Rancher 2 is still my favorite monster raising game of all time though. The Pokemon franchise as a whole comes in a very close second.

Pssh DQ5 did it first. Actually one of the Shin Megami Tensei games did it first but DQ5 was the first mainstream (in Japan) game where monster raising was a (big) focus.

My Slime Knight could kick your Charizard's *** any day.

I wouldn't qualify DQ5 as a monster raising game like Pokemon/Digimon/Monster Rancher ect. in the same way I wouldn't qualify the Sonic Adventure series as one because of the prominence of Chao. DQ5 might have a big focus on raising monsters, but it's probably not the main gameplay focus. I can see the monster raising aspect of DQ5 being a template for future monster raising games proper though.

Of course I haven't played DQ5, so if monster raising really is the main gameplay focus of that game then point me to the nearest store that sells it because I will gobble it up.

Also Slime Knight is most likely at least part Steel type, so it would get roasted by Charizard XD. Slime Knight probably can't even set up Stealth Rocks. On that same note it would also get trashed by my Rock Saurian from MR2 since that also knows fire techniques (though it's less of a dragon Fire/Flying lizard than a big badass velociraptor.)
