Well I guess they enjoy the thrill of it anyways.

Well, only for the first part. The rest of the ride structure is rather bland. This video shows the POV of the ride and I hope the ride keeps its high speed throughout.

OoT 3D looks like a mere HD port.

Well I hope it is not just a mere HD port otherwise a lot of people will probably be upset over it not making use of the 3D button feature.

Actually, most were satisfied with the remake.

I prefer level 47.

Hey, they do have a game series that's a crossover between Final Fantasy and Disney. May not be the best of mixes but they did it anyway.

Well, when your characters become strong, it can be a lot of fun.

Well as long as the AI isn't utterly retarded I guess it can't be that bad.

Not to worry, the AI is actually good in this game. As long as you have the right paradigm settings, there shouldn't be any issues.

I can see one tiny problem there: I don't speek any greek whatsoever.

Ah, very interesting ride indeed. Would not mind riding it once anyways if I were to take a trip over there in the future.

That's if you ever go there, lol. On another note, there should be a family trip to Alton Towers within a week or two. That will be awesome.

Actually, most were satisfied with the remake.

Really? Well I guess it was not so bad then. I still want to play that new Paper Mario game and while I'm at it go and buy Rhythm Heaven for the DS as I have heard a couple of songs for it and they do not sound too bad.

Oh yeah, there's 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 to look forward to. Sure, it's yet more Mario games but I feel these two will do some justice to the ongoing series.

I prefer level 47.

I prefer 44, 50, and 55. They look great, at least to me anyways.

I actually like all the level icons between 37 and 48. Sucks how 49 breaks that chain.

I think he's done something similar in the match against England. So with Neuer in your team you can have some very quick counter attacks.

I think he might be very much like van der Sar (ex-goalie of the Dutch team). He'll only throw or kick the ball to the front if it immediately results in a dangerous counter attack. Otherwise he'll just pass it to his defender to keep the ball on their team (rather than a blind kick forwards).

Let's set up our tents at Times Square.

And on Tiananmen Square!

Actually, I believe they're protesting everywhere in the world today. I believe the protest is going to kick off in an hour in my city today. I could go, but on the other hand I can't really be arsed. Last time I went to a protest I thought it was quite boring.

We'll just have to upgrade them then.

More power!

You know, I saw Iron Man again yesterday and that gave me an idea. How about we equip them with a suit with which they can fly at supersonic speeds and shoot lasers from their palms?

Yeah, Kingdom Hearts was just a weird experiment, but I suppose it turned out rather well. I've only played one for the GBA and I have to say that it was quite a fun game. Considering the fan base it has today you could say it was a success.

Well as long as the AI isn't utterly retarded I guess it can't be that bad.

Not to worry, the AI is actually good in this game. As long as you have the right paradigm settings, there shouldn't be any issues.

That is good, because when the AI is only getting in your way and constantly needs to be helped out the game only becomes annoying to play.

Sounds like it will be a very fun time for you.

Oh yes. We may have been there many times before but it's still a great place to go to. However, I've yet to see Thorpe Park, another big theme park in the UK.

Oh yeah, there's 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 to look forward to. Sure, it's yet more Mario games but I feel these two will do some justice to the ongoing series.

Yes I most hope so. Sadly Mario and Zelda seem to be the only real highlights these days. You do get some good non Mario games almost every month though so it works.

I can understand them keeping Mario's popularity high but when it comes to Nintendo's core games, I like to see a lot more than that. Again, a new Metroid game on the 3DS will shut me up for a while.

I actually like all the level icons between 37 and 48. Sucks how 49 breaks that chain.

49 isn't badass I agree but not as poor looking as level 1.

OK, I will give it that much credit, haha. Ever since I became a BBS mod, I've grown to hate the level 1 icon, especially when it's under neutral aura. I'd actually rather see a level 1 fab icon than a level 1 neutral icon.
