Crazy-ass Samus Aran (from Metroid) vs. Master Chief fight



Good stuff until the lame lesbo part.

4/18/2007 8:34:48 PM

^^Renting may have been the better way to go...it seems to be going by pretty fast.

Definitely fun, though.

punch him in the stomach when he punches after he opens his mouth.

when he does his bull charge, punch him in the stomach before he starts punching and you will knock him down.

just knock him down once and he wont get back up again.

Ah thats right. I totally forgot about the punch him in the mouth part first. I knew his stomach was a weakness...but alas my 10 yr old memories just dont come back like they used too.

graci!

4/19/2007 9:30:20 AM

is target still holding their supply until sunday morning? Do people camp out for wiis still? I'm having surgery next week and I finally want to get one to use while I'm stuck in the house.

4/19/2007 9:35:15 AM

If you have trouble with King Hippo, then Sandman and Mike Tyson will absolutely demolish you. And losing to them is not nearly as forgiving with the rematches (at least not on my 8bit)....

4/19/2007 10:20:30 AM

^^ well depending on the surgery, you might not be playing it for a while.

4/19/2007 10:55:43 AM

^^ doesnt mean i wont try to look like i know what i'm doing tho

4/19/2007 10:57:48 AM

Don, get the Wii even if you have to fork over an extra $50 online. You will thank yourself (though your freetime will not)..... If you are a zelda fan then it shouldnt even be a question....

4/19/2007 11:05:58 AM

Yeah, I really want to get one, but I'm trying to figure out the best way to get one. I'll try calling Target/CC later today and find out how they are selling their wiis (sell them as they get them or stockpile and sell them on Sunday).

I keep waiting for them to be readily available in the store, but with Nintendo's announcement that supply wouldn't be up for a while, I'm ready to camp out for one.

didn't the "experts" say that they should be on the shelves by March and is when supply = demand?


lawl

4/19/2007 1:22:02 PM

Those "experts" must have been too busy playing their PS3s

4/19/2007 4:10:25 PM

Looks like another big shipment this Sunday for those of you looking. Toys-R-Us and BestBuy specifically!

And yes, I predicted that they would be on the shelves by the end of March....wrong on that one, but Nintendo has done a good job with spacing games, VC, new browsers, etc. to keep the hype machine going. Paper Mario seems to be behind this latest surge back to 350-375 on ebay. I am betting now that it will be June before you will be able to find these things on store shelves consistently!

4/19/2007 5:14:33 PM

where did you hear that?

4/19/2007 5:27:17 PM

yeah, it's still a bit crazy....

4/19/2007 5:27:18 PM

Yeah, I don't think I have ever seen on a shelf

I'm so glad that I pre-ordered mine last year.

4/19/2007 8:00:00 PM

is there any easy way I can get aim up and running on the wii?

4/19/2007 9:08:55 PM

^ I highly doubt it. Unless you find an OS hack that allows you to run Windows or another OS that AIM is designed for.

4/20/2007 11:00:19 AM

it's possible to get onto aim through an irc channel. I don't remember the details but i used to do it on my dreamcast. I'm pretty sure there are java applets that connect to irc though a webpage.
from here you can do your own research to find a way.

Pretty interesting article in the Wii shortages.

Bust-a-Move Bash with 8 players looks insane

4/20/2007 3:07:15 PM

I think I just got ADD watching that

4/20/2007 3:11:59 PM

^^ahah now that just looks silly

4/20/2007 3:23:11 PM

i wonder what the movements are for that game

4/20/2007 3:44:12 PM

^are you serious?

4/20/2007 5:32:31 PM

4 players?

Yes!

6 players?
Sure, why not!

8 players?
This is utter ridiculousness.


I can't imagine how anyone could tell where the hell their cursor was or what was going on...

[Edited on April 20, 2007 at 6:53 PM. Reason : ]

4/20/2007 6:52:55 PM

In the video they have little colored rays of light so you can tell where you're aiming, like in all the Bust-a-Move games

4/20/2007 8:33:43 PM

^^ never underestimate the advantages of a 65" widescreen TV. Eight players is a cakewalk

4/21/2007 8:59:39 AM

id feel like a real winner with my 200 dollar game system playing a game i could get on the internet on my 65" HDTV

4/21/2007 9:47:48 AM

^ bet ya would

btw the 8bit looks real bad on a huge TV, while twilight princess astonishes. If only Wii had 1080p

Apparently every Circuit City will have a minimum of 15 Wiis for sale tomorrow.

4/21/2007 8:06:05 PM

best buy and toysrus had em too
sold out at open though

4/22/2007 10:50:07 AM

if anyone hasn't played Godfather, go get that game NOW

4/22/2007 12:28:49 PM

finaly got one at best buy, and one at Circuit city for my GF

4/22/2007 12:51:15 PM

4/22/2007 1:13:28 PM

^^how big were the lines? did you catch both openings? or just go from one to the other? how many did each have?

4/22/2007 1:17:46 PM

My friend got his today, went to toys R us an hour before they opened, was 11th in line they had 36

4/22/2007 1:20:59 PM

awesome tattoo

4/22/2007 2:05:41 PM

wii's are still kickin

4/22/2007 2:06:59 PM

^^^^^

4/22/2007 4:59:58 PM

this was in jacksonville. hit up circuit city around 10:20, they had one unclaimed wii and 2 that had vouchers but the people didnt pick them up yet. drove by toysRus and saw a line of about 25 with a bunch of kids, then went by best buy and they had maybe 2 people out front and a bunch of people in their cars, so we just walked up and they handed out vouchers. bestbuy got 21 wiis

4/22/2007 5:28:47 PM

sounds like a lot of people got their wii's today, at least 3 major retailers with what seems like about 10-20 each and maybe more. wonder if this will be a turning point, or have any affect on the demand/ebay pricing?

4/22/2007 6:09:31 PM

I got mine today

cc @ crabtree, about 15 people in line and they had 15 wiis, gave vouchers about 50 minutes before opening

4/22/2007 6:20:39 PM

Month later, turns out Nintendo didn't have a genius scheme to drum up demand. They just had an idiotic manufacturing plan that cost them sales.

4/22/2007 7:34:44 PM

^true...doesn't even seem like they had a contingency play for success! now they have to scramble to try to increase output, losing sales all the while

lol the same thing happened to me

The problem isn't so much that he's fast, it's that he's not entirely predictable like the others. He changes things up quite a bit and there are slight pauses between his punches that throw me off. Most of the time I dodge expected a punch and he throws it right when Mac moves back into position.
