  1. Not to worry. When looking at a Panasonic Plasma and a couple LCDs playing the same movie, I liked the plasma better. the colours looked richer, and it didn't have that jittery look to it. the only thing I saw better than a plasma was a Samsung LED TV, which looked fecking amazing. But at $4499 for a 55", that won't be happening. With Panasonic, it's either 46, 50, or 58. For my livingroom, I measured that I could do up to 58" based on where I would be sitting. But the cost might mean I get a 50", which is still plenty big based on where the couches are.
  2. It's kind of funny. If I was a company, I would probably do the same thing just to make them pay, so to speak, for voilating copyrights and trademarks that I owned.
  3. Bought Klonoa for the Wii last week, and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat should be sitting in my mailbox right now from amazon.ca. I plan on buying a HDTV this year, most likely a panasonic plasma. In order to do so, though, I am cutting my retro game collection severely. Instead of having a pile of games for all the old systems I have, I am only keeping the games I like, as well as the systems I like. It will also free up some storage space
  4. PooTube is fine since it's not network sactioned like Hulu. It probably has to do with distribution rights for licensing of stuff used in shows. I know that the last two volumes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast would not be shipped out of the US because of this.
  5. To me it seemed to be from the point of view of someoen at IGN telling the history of what happened. And I don't consider Kalinske and Stolar as the people who made Sega fail. It seems like it was the Japanese bigwigs, and the story wasn't from their point of view.
  6. I'd vote for the first one on each console. That red-headed guy looks way to "metrosexual". Not someone you really want representing fighters, I wouldn't think.
  7. I asked about that a while ago in the comments on that blog, and Mielke said that he still needed the okay from Ziff, or whoever, since it was still their property. I guess he planned on releasing it regardless since he was out of a job. Since he was kept on to work on the 1Up site, he probably can't do that anymore.
  8. Time to get an LCD, man. It will make editing scans much easier as you'll be able to see much clearer.
  9. Probably because Mario Kart Wii just came out last year. They really need to stop with this lazy agenda of re-releasing games with sometimes minimal control changes and actually release new games. While The Metroid games would probably really benefit from Wii controls, and benefit more than any of the other games on that list, they need to stop this. Instead of being lazy with Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, they should have released a new Donkey Kong game, like, say, Donkey Kong Country 4 or something.
  10. It certainly was a great time to be into video games, and to read game magazines. Even though gaming is bigger now, it's just not the same. Instead of being focused on fun games with good gameplay, nowadays the "big" games all involve violence, gore, and shooting.
  11. Issue 2 of EGM2 is done and uploaded. My next circus trick will be to rescan EGM2 Issue 5.
  12. Oh, they had some classics! I liked that they threw one in for old times in their Retrospective section in the June 09 issue.
  13. I am running a 19" Widescreen LCD at 1440x900. It looks okay if I have my browser maximized, but I never do that. Even so, the center column looked too obese. It looks a lot better now
  14. It's the same because of the images from that Super NES Buyer's Guide that you put up. Putting two side-by-side is too wide for that box.
  15. Tis a shame, because that Game Informer would also be an interesting read. Any of those issues up this time around would be great.
  16. I saw another Review where there was the word "Review" or something where the text should have been. Just 1 word. I can't remember which issue that was.
  17. I would have had the EGM issue been earlier than the GamePro issue, most likely. I almost always pick GamePro over EGM. GamePro was my magazine back in the day
  18. Geez, man. You couldn't have made it an easier choice? Those are all early issues, and all would be great. I have to go with my GamePro bias though.
  19. 100% scanned. Time to edit.
  20. The game looks west with the watercolour filter.
  21. I wasn't sure when it came out, so I had to double check. I didn't want you spending your time scanning it if it couldn't go up on here
  22. Jelly Tots. Haven't seen them in Canada for many, many years. The best hard candies are a couple from Switzerland. One is cola flavoured and shaped like frogs. And the other are these light blue ones that have a nice fruity taste to them. I have been telling my mother that she needs to go back and visit her family there so she can bring me a couple cases of each back.
  23. This came up last week on Kotaku I think. I am surprised the site still has some left. I already have two Dreamcasts, and will be selling them along with my Saturn and 32X's, as well as duplicate Genesis and Sega CD systems as I need to prune my collection down because I need the room more than I need all that stuff. If I was still collecting like I was a couple years ago, I would have already bought one of those Dreamcasts.
