4000 Dollar Suit posted:I was always skeptical about those BS videogame rumors, so when someone told me if you save falco in the first level of SF64 and fly through all the arches you'd fight a different boss and go to different planets, I assumed it was BS...imagine my surprise. When i played star fox i didn't understand the difference between accomplished and completed so i never played like 3/4 of the game.

Saw this on my RSS feed: http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/27/haunted-majoras-mask-arg-brought-back-to-life-by-players/ quote:Instead of walking away from an amusing web game, players actually donated money to the project in order to keep it going. Jadusable plans to release the next chapter of the game this holiday season, along with " an interactive videogame for download in tandem with the final phase of the story." Get caught up with the game here if you're interested in jumping into this world. I hate to say this but there's children starving in Africa and they gave money to a guy who wrote like 3 different stories and just decided to make them one jumbled mess?

I agree that the thing certainly wasn't as good as it could have been, but don't blame the people donating of being morally wrong.

Mister Roboto posted:Why on earth are people paying for an acknowledged hoax? What? They're not paying for it because they think it's real, they're paying for it because they want him to continue the story. I grew up with a lot of urban legends about games, but most of them have been mentioned already. Find Mew under the pickup truck in Pokemon, collecting [x] secret item in Ocarina of Time etc. I do find beta videogame stuff really interesting, though, and unreleased games are fascinating. I wish TheRedEye would update his old site more often, there's tons of cool stuff there.

quote:More I'm not a fan of his writing but, well, bully for him for being able to get money out from people and essentially, getting paid to do what he likes. I just hope he just goes on with the haunted zelda stuff as opposed to the moon children rubbish (because it's driving an all right concept down the ground by making things more and more ridiculous, which seems to be a staple of all projects incepted from 4chan) , but since it's mentioned he's going to do an ARG... we'll either be seeing no output at all accompanied by angry 4chan messages posting his address, or more "i'm so scared, mummy!" stories.

Apocadall posted:Make the killer wear a mask made of your face. I've always wondered why people don't use Avatars/Miis more than they do. it would be hilarious and slightly creepy if a game mined data from your friends avatars and made ingame characters based of them, so the serial killer that you're stalking is basically a realistic version of one of your friend's avatars.

Does anyone ever actually pay attention to what avatars and miis look like? I would be hard pressed to even notice the effort were i to play such a game.

Endorph posted:I seriously don't get this. Do Miis even do anything of note? Oh boy, you can make a cartoonish version of yourself (Or a hobo) and play as him in Wii Sports and Mario Kart. The 360 and PS3 versions of Miis actually do MORE with them. Does everything in your sad utilitarian world need a clearly defined use? Didn't you ever think the Miis are nothing more than a diversion to be used for marketing the Wii?

You can have a bobblehead of your Mii on the dashboard of your spaceship in Metroid Prime 3. Nintendo wins. Neither company will let your mii/avatar do anything violent or painful or inappropriate for an E-rated game in general, so both systems are kinda creatively hamstrung and turning your friends into serial killers definitely wouldn't fly.

Not to contribute to the derail, but I've never seen the "___ as gently caress" construction (instead of "as hell" or "as poo poo") anywhere but these forums. So I've come to see it as a really goony turn of phrase. Maybe I just don't spend enough time on the Internet. But I'm starting to find it irritating as gently caress.

apparently there was a rumor going around for LoZOoC that if you stood in front of a milking pail, and played Zelda's Song backwards, it would talk to you, and tell you that you can now choose to spend the rest of your life with the girl at the stables, with your horse, and live happily ever after. If you choose yes, the game ends, and your safe file is erased or some junk.

Having your Mii as an unlockable character in SSB:B would have been cool.
