So now fanboy is included in the dictionary? w00t!

Next year, they'll include pwnt.

Is that Ravenprose updating

It's interesting how you guys update. HiRes packs info in the subtitle, Raven is putting the website source there. And I try and do it everything as short as possible or stick something funny in.

So tomorrow is me and Dvader

I've never played a Fatal Frame game, so I'm hoping the series doesn't get messed up due to Grasshopper, SUDA, and Nintendo influence. The Wii definitely needs more creepy games.

Why is everyone suddenly using "reveal" as a noun? The associated noun is "revelation".

I've seen this phenomenon just in the last few weeks--hadn't seen it before--and it's grating on my pedantic nerves.

The amount of updates we are getting is amazing, great job guys.

Anyway back at the GGD there is a thread about Cliffy saying he wants the Xbox 720 to be more like the wiimote.  Well of course everyone is bashing the idea which is fine but I suggested at least getting IR sensors so you can aim, I think that is the best aspect of the wiimote and it can be applied to normal controlers with slight modifications. Well apparently no one can aim with a wiimote, the entire thread is filled with people that say aiming with a wiimote is worse than with sticks. People saying MP3 was a pain cause of it, that TP was better on GC cause of it, its insanity. Its not that I dont believe some of these guys, I trust that rag does have issues with aiming, but its the extent of the complaints that I don't get. Its like the idea of having IR sensors is the horrible thing on earth that baffles me about that thread.

I don't have issues with aiming the wiimote at all.  I was just backing up HiResDes, by saying that the opinion that aiming the wiimote is superior isn't a universal opinion.  As I've said before, my main issue with the wiimote is my own laziness.  I play laying in bed wrapped up in blankets, and a traditional pad is much more condusive to that.

edit: sorry for not being around here more.  I've been cutting back on internet time.

Yeah I like how Dvader tries to make it seem like he was the gravest victim of some fanboy onslaught, when you were suggesting that all consoles should adopt an aiming remote, which is something you don't do...Don't mess with my precious traditional console.

Oh that wii controller patent is obviously a GC shell that you plug the wii remote into. Looks like they may be phasing out the GC controller for good.

I hope so. Nintendo should've released something like that in the first place. I really don't care for having to switch between three different controllers just to play all of my games on Wii.

Lol the No More Heroes mobille game looks better than the Wii version

I've seen NMH lying around at my BB, but I can never man up enough to actually buy it.

I loved NMH, as shallow as it may have been, I had a ton of fun with that game...And even with the terrible minigames that you had to do at work, I just found the whole thing to be hilarious, though I wish the bosses were consistently difficult.

Edit: And to answer GG, my next door neighboy really does have a Wii, and so I can play pretty much anytime I want to...though he hasn't bought anything since NMH and Smash, with the exception of a ton of VC games.

Yeah, there are a few crazy people out there.

Seriously though, I can't even fathom people saying that dual analogue is superior to wiimote aiming. Cannot even fathom it. On games with a static screen you get lightning fast, pixel perfect aiming, try the wii play duck hunt game for instance. You couldn't even begin to simulate that with a dual analogue. Same goes for the other light gun games.

Otherwise the wii controls have been abused. People play games with crap controls and assume that wiimote controls are bad. Play prime 3 on advanced for instance or pick up Medal of Honor Heroes 2 and tweak the controls to your liking. There is a learning curve, you have to play for at least an hour to get the hang of things, but wiimote aiming outclasses dual analogue by quite some distance. In a game where you have a frozen screen, Gears for instance, or Zelda when you arrow aim, or RE4, the wii can offer faaaaar superior controls.

Medal of Honor Heroes 2 even offers turning which is as fast as a PC, you can spin lightning fast and not lost any accuracy.  

I sometimes play these games lying down and it can be done, but you have to have your system set up for it and be at the right distance. It's not an issue when I'm lying on the sofa in a large living room, but if you are cramped in a bedroom with the sensor bar too close I could understand.

I was saying to keep the exact same controlers, with a few modifications and add IR, you guys can have the option for the two sticks, they would still be there. One day controllers will change guys, you need to be open to adaptation, which is how I see that thread, as a thread of people completely opposed to any change.
