I disagree. I would much rather see Chao return in a portable game. The DS and/or PSP would be awesome though the 3DS or PSVita is more likely at this point.

Re: Hedonism

Here are my thoughts: The classical hedonist is usually portrayed as a person who lives a life of mindless self-indulgence.

Re: It seems the Wii was made to be 3DS 3D.

Seriously, though, the Wii uses some old tech as well. The remote uses infrared for the move-y stuff (not sure about motion + though). The gun for Duck Hunt used infrared too. This is partially true. The Wiimote uses a infrared camera for point-and-click/aiming style interactions, but the tilt/wagg...

Re: Subbed vs Dubbed

Depends on the quality of the work. If the dubber has proper respect for the source material and the right resources, the results are often stellar. A dubber that is just in it for a quick cash-in, however, will often turn great series into trash and mediocre series into nightmare fuel. Same goes fo...

Re: It seems the Wii was made to be 3DS 3D.

Re: I'm tired of people crying about the Wii

The sensor bar detects it, the Wii itself comprehends it. Actually, the "sensor" bar is just a infra-red light bar that the Wiimote's infrared camera picks-up. Generic infrared LEDs can do the sensor bar's job just as well, if not better. Actually, at the time of the Wii's release, the Wiimote was ...

(3266 x 5) That should be 3266 ^ 5 or approximately 3.72E17. This is of course assuming that a stat value of 1 is possible without hacking. Also, hacking raises the stat limit to 4000, raising this part of the huge calculation to exactly 1.024E18. Of course, if we are going to expand into non-visib...

Re: [SADX & SA2B] First evolution and gradual evolution.

A thought occurs: Since second evolution only has a gradual phase and no cocoon, is it also lacking in permanence? For example, you have a pure and complete N/R/R at maximum evolution strength and start giving it Yellow drives. Would this result in a gradual change to N/R/R-S or is there a point at ...
