I'm not really looking forward to clock day. I've been trying to make my Save/Blam ratio better, and I've managed to go from 7:1 to 6:1. I don't want to not vote on Clock day though. I'll just blam every shitty B remake and hope a lot of them are eventually removed. Looking back at the past clock days, a lot of the submissions are eventually removed for some reason.

Finally clocked up 12k blams somehow.

I guess they're just doing their best to innovate and the 3D gimmick IS catching on in the cinemas (sadly).

The cinemas it might be a hit but for a handheld, it's not clicking on.

A new handheld, of course. One that will play plenty of future titles.

Yeah, but if it's just a standard upgrade from the DS they wouldn't charge 250 euros would they?

Ah, but they're not charging 250 euros anymore. :P

It is because Earthbound has far too many copyright issues to even have a re-release outside of Japan.

Really? But I thought Earthbound was released in Europe and America too. I don't see what the big deal is.

That was in the 90s and it was a different age for gaming. And no, it wasn't released in Europe so you're really fucked with picking it up on console.

I see. Some good titles there I guess, but I'd hope for some more good ones.

Oh yeah, they'll have more to announce shortly.

I'd at least get Metroid Fusion, Warioware and The Legend of Zelda.

I already have Metroid Fusion on cartridge and the original Zelda is already on the collector's edition I have. However, I think it will work nicely on the 3DS. Warioware is another game I may as well pick up. I already played Touched and Smooth Moves so I may as well see what the original is like. I may have SMB on GBA cartridge already but there's no harm in downloading them all considering they're free.

I'd say it explains why his videos from this year are a whole lot better than what he did last year. Beating the shit out of FFX-2, reviewing bad movies based on fighting games and the Beastmaster reviews have shown he's made quite a comeback.

I haven't checked out Beastmaster yet, but his FFX-2 does look very good so far. Like I said before somewhere, this time it does look like he takes his time to explain the games mechanics and go more in-depth. Something I thought I was missing in his FFX review.

Yeah, Spoony really missed out on the Sphere Grid for the FFX review and when fans asked him about it on Twitter, he actually told them to piss off. That's one of many reasons why he became a target on ED as well as other sites.

Which is why we freeze them all and unfreeze one at a time.

Yeah. Hopefully no-one will break into our secret lab and set all the clones free. 'Zat would be a disaster'.

Then we keep it as secured as possible.

Hey, even I admit to losing here.

Well, have fun with that. Coop's well ahead of me at this point.

I'm glad for that. So what is high on your list right now?

More Opeth, I guess. ^^
And some more Death, maybe.

Good and good. Well, not that HammerFall are bad or anything but Infected is one album that sucks.

You should give them a shot. Although I only have three of their albums, they have done some really good stuff on the self-titled album and the latest album. Their newest release is sung entirely in Swedish.

Will do.

Oh, and the new album is called Armod.

I'm glad humantarget left!

Cat meat? I'd be pretty surprised if that's what they used :p

You never know. Next time you go in ask them. Say you'd like a side of cat meat with your steak sandwich.

Same for the dutch dub. :P
I guess I should give the danish dub a try as well. XD

Lol! I always imagine Scandinavian languages sounding even more silly to foreigners than Dutch does :p

Still though, I'd rather see the original than a dub in most cases. I got a feeling that more of the original work gets lost by dubbing than by subbing.

True. Sometimes the translations are shit.

Yeah. I know sometimes the subbing is also shit, but at least I can hear it then and laugh at the terrible job someone did translating it.

Furthermore, phrases like "What an asshole!" have lead to plenty of creative and hilarious translations in the subtitles :p

I've seen a few films where they even changed the original soundtrack in the dub, and it turned out awful. It didn't suit the film at all.

Heh. I've never seen that. But sometimes the original sound (ie the voices, etc) are too quiet in the original - or the sounds from the environment are too loud. Especially some of the older Columbo films have that problem. A dub (or subtitles) really helps here, because all the voices are cristal clear.

Seen it happen in several cartoons. I believe it was/is kinda hip to change the soundtrack from Japanese cartoons to something more... American if it's ever broadcasted on TV for children. This can sometimes just set an entirely different mood for a scene.

Probably. Watching English films and playing English video games did really help me improve my English early on in life. I think it's the reason why I ended up with one of the top grades in English class in high school ^^

Yes. Video games can teach you important things! :D

Yeah! They taught me how to double jump :D

Not here he isn't. He's dubbed by a 48 year old woman, who's also an actress in the Dutch Sesame Street.

I know. That's why I mentioned it. :P
Bart Simpson is dubbed by a woman as well (Nancy Cartwright in english, Sandra Schwittau in german)

Oh yeah, I've heard that too. I'm sure there are more examples to find.

It's not uncommon for a male kid to be voiced by a woman by the way. I believe the English Ash (from Pokemon) is also dubbed by a woman.

Yes, because male kids have the problem that their voice WILL change once they get older. Grown women aren't that far away from sounding like a little kid, since their voices don't change too much in their life time.

I guess that's the idea. It's usually not such a big deal, as long as it's not too recognizabely a woman.

Oh well, I guess that's just one problem case, but for most films it works fine.

Depends on the kind of movies you like to watch, I guess. :P

As long as it's not romantic comedies I'm open for anything.

They sometimes do that here too, but only for the news when they interview someone who talks in a horrible accent :p

Oh yeah, sometimes on those horrobile TV shows they show during the day some people are subtitled as well. But I only ever see that on RTL, which we call "Unterschichtenfernsehen" (underclass television) anyway. XD

Lol!

We call our SBS6 the "camping channel", I suppose it's a similar set-up as your RTL.

He sure is :p

Yes. I like how he can express all those different feelings with only minor changes in his mimic.

It looks like they haven't included his horrible pain pace yet.

I could make out some lines and words, but it's difficult. Then again, I don't know if I would understand a normal German sitcom any better.

How about some Married with children, then?
Oh, and don't mind the artificial laughter, everybody here thinks it sucks as well.

Oh but the artificial laughter is in the original show as well, and plenty of sitcom shows use it so I'm kinda used to it by now (even though I don't like it much either).

Anyway I think Peg needs to sound more whiney, like she does in the original ("but AAAAHAAAAAAAAL") :p

Again I can make out a couple of words and lines, but I can't understand it entirely.

Ah I see. I thought that film would be pretty odd if they all talked German. Considering they need someone to speak Italian at some point and Hans Landa's big thing is that he speaks four languages fluently.

I remember "Saving Privat Ryan", where they met that german guy. That scene made no sense in the german dub.

Lol, I can imagine. I thought one thing was that he kept talking to them but they couldn't really understand him.

Or Heinz? :p

No no, that's the ketchup brand. :P

Heinrich then?

Beauty is no more it's all gone

Shit! I suppose making you fuck off to Mars isn't going to work.

Great game. My favourite Final Fantasy of all the ones I've played.

And not once have I bothered with the extra for the 3D edition. It's not like I'm missing out on anything special.

Nope not at all. It's a cheap gimmick to nab some extra money, that's all.

Maybe more and more people have come to realize this and that's why the 3D on handhelds isn't clicking on?

That's it! Hopefully Sony will drop the 3DTV bullshit. They go non-stop about that crap at E3.

Oh yeah, I wonder how that will work out. I know some people who have a 3D TV now, but they still need to watch with those silly glasses and if you only got one pair of them...

FFFFFFFFF

People keep recommending me this game, but I suppose I'll have a tough time trying to find it then... =/

They probably have to tell you that you need to get it online.

Hmm like find a site that offers it and I can play it on my PC?

Hmm I'm generally a bit less interested in SMB, but I'd probably pick it up too if I still had some downloads left.

I'm guessing you've played SMB already. If you've got space left, it's a game you may as well pick up.

I've never beaten it or anything and never owned it either. But a friend of mine had it and we used to play it often.

I think he gave a few short comments on it, but yeah... I wish he went as in-depth as he did in FFVIII on the Junction system and the Triple Triad game.

At least he's got a right mind with FFX-2. He'll go on about some horrible parts of the game (monkey scene) but he's still commenting on the gameplay. As a matter of fact, I can't remember what he said about the battle system now. To be fair, the battle system is good. It's a damn shame it was wasted on an awful game.

Can't remember exactly, but I thought he was fairly possitive about the battle system and the ability learning system. Of course the dress spheres are weird, but leveling them up was alright.

Get one of your dragon buddies to guard the front door. That'll do the trick.

If I had any...

Fuck. So it's like Dragonheart for you then?

Same for the dutch dub. :P
I guess I should give the danish dub a try as well. XD

Lol! I always imagine Scandinavian languages sounding even more silly to foreigners than Dutch does :p

Swedish seems to be pretty close to german. At least I heard from different sources that learning swedish isn't too hard for a guy who already speaks german.

Still though, I'd rather see the original than a dub in most cases. I got a feeling that more of the original work gets lost by dubbing than by subbing.

True. Sometimes the translations are shit.

Yeah. I know sometimes the subbing is also shit, but at least I can hear it then and laugh at the terrible job someone did translating it.

But sometimes it's more like *face palm*

Furthermore, phrases like "What an asshole!" have lead to plenty of creative and hilarious translations in the subtitles :p

Original: "He's a dirty motherfucker!"
Translation: "He isn't a very nice person."
XD

I've seen a few films where they even changed the original soundtrack in the dub, and it turned out awful. It didn't suit the film at all.

Heh. I've never seen that. But sometimes the original sound (ie the voices, etc) are too quiet in the original - or the sounds from the environment are too loud. Especially some of the older Columbo films have that problem. A dub (or subtitles) really helps here, because all the voices are cristal clear.

Seen it happen in several cartoons. I believe it was/is kinda hip to change the soundtrack from Japanese cartoons to something more... American if it's ever broadcasted on TV for children. This can sometimes just set an entirely different mood for a scene.

Well, if they replace shitty J-Pop with something else I have nothing against it.

Probably. Watching English films and playing English video games did really help me improve my English early on in life. I think it's the reason why I ended up with one of the top grades in English class in high school ^^

Yes. Video games can teach you important things! :D

Yeah! They taught me how to double jump :D

They also taught me that doors are unbreakable, no matter how big your weapons are!

Oh well, I guess that's just one problem case, but for most films it works fine.

Depends on the kind of movies you like to watch, I guess. :P

As long as it's not romantic comedies I'm open for anything.

How about Mulholland Drive? I cannot imagine watching this while reading subtitles. It's hard enough to follow the movie without reading subs. Let alone understanding the movie (I gave that up a long time ago ^^)

They sometimes do that here too, but only for the news when they interview someone who talks in a horrible accent :p

Oh yeah, sometimes on those horrobile TV shows they show during the day some people are subtitled as well. But I only ever see that on RTL, which we call "Unterschichtenfernsehen" (underclass television) anyway. XD

Lol!

We call our SBS6 the "camping channel", I suppose it's a similar set-up as your RTL.

"SBS 6 is de familiezender van Nederland met veel amusement, topseries, films, sport en (show) nieuws uit binnen-en buitenland."

"family station", sounds like "shitties station ever broadcasting" to me. ^^
Also, you do have your own RTL in Holland, right?

He sure is :p

Yes. I like how he can express all those different feelings with only minor changes in his mimic.

It looks like they haven't included his horrible pain pace yet.

Amazing how he never even twitches a single muscle in his face while turning around the machete.

I could make out some lines and words, but it's difficult. Then again, I don't know if I would understand a normal German sitcom any better.

How about some Married with children, then?
Oh, and don't mind the artificial laughter, everybody here thinks it sucks as well.

Oh but the artificial laughter is in the original show as well, and plenty of sitcom shows use it so I'm kinda used to it by now (even though I don't like it much either).

I always thought it was real laughter in the original series. After all you can sometimes see the characters standing around doing nothing, while they wait for the laughter to die down.

Anyway I think Peg needs to sound more whiney, like she does in the original ("but AAAAHAAAAAAAAL") :p

Oh, she does sound pretty whiney from time to time. ^^

Again I can make out a couple of words and lines, but I can't understand it entirely.

All right, so no difference for you here. ^^

Ah I see. I thought that film would be pretty odd if they all talked German. Considering they need someone to speak Italian at some point and Hans Landa's big thing is that he speaks four languages fluently.

I remember "Saving Privat Ryan", where they met that german guy. That scene made no sense in the german dub.

Lol, I can imagine. I thought one thing was that he kept talking to them but they couldn't really understand him.

Yeah, it's kinda dumb to get that young soldier (forgot his name, the guy who wants to carry around his typewriter at the beginning of the movie) to translate for them if they all speak german in the first place.

Or Heinz? :p

No no, that's the ketchup brand. :P

Heinrich then?

Heinrich is good. After all there where a few Kaisers named Heinrich.

Beauty is no more it's all gone
And utopia will not come

Trust I can not feel, only pain
And my burning mind has gone insane

Ok, I guess that covers it. No need to repeat the first and second verse here. ^^
Also, kinda odd to sing "Violent Revolution" while there are riots in England. Maybe they started rioting because of that song? :/

His name derives from the word "grisù", which means Firedamp.

Well, at least we're remembering this adorable dragon.

I can't decide if Grisu is more adorable or the Bubble Bobble dragons.

I think they'll look at me like 0.0 whaa...?

I'm not under the impression that employees of (fast food) restaurants know all that much about the food they're selling.

Yeah, I'm sure corporate tells them how to assemble it and doesn't mention about quality or what's really in it. Put lunch meat A on Bread slice B. Add condiment K and place Bread slice A on top.

Oh come on. What can a couple of bears do?

According to Chronomut, have sex with you. That might be a different kind of bear that what you're thinking of though...

Fair enough.

I like. Now if only you could post a few more pictures. ;)

Well, I'll have a look - photobucket tonight, but first, I have a few cricket games to score.

Don't forget!

I was so knackered and what not, I did forget. I'll get to it, don't worry.

Is it actually a remake? I assumed it was some sort of reboot.

I think it's just a new game, but I'll report back in 2012, when it's released.

I'll probably pick it up when it comes out. Maybe, not definite.

I'll let you know how good it is.
