/wrenches topic back off eviltobz
I managed to finish Mario64 about four years after I bought it. I'm thinking it will be the same for Sunshine. I have a terrible sulk problem with games like these - so I have two goes on a platform level (the second one usually lasts about 15 seconds) and then I have to do something else for half an hour till I've calmed down. |

"*still chuckling*"
He'll never recover from that, will he? Everytime he'll make one of his propecies, someone will link to this thread. It's not the fact he said something which just isn't true (everyone did that some time), it's the combination of his big acting and the so obviously fake news. Lol.

Right. 19 stars and I'm stuck on all the four open worlds. There's me swaggering with gamer conceit at completing Pete Piranha's revenge and now I'm faced with polluted water, a harbour meccano set puzzle, eight irresponsibly placed red coins in the fairground and a sandbird that seems to have only seven.
I don't want to turn to a faq - you'll lose that sense of discovery and (eventual) satisfaction. But what's left? Pottering around town delivering fruit! |

I thought he may have deleted the comments after he realised his mistake
...which is why I quoted him. In fact, why don't I do it again? Whizzo, I suggest a quick Yahoo! search. "Microsoft acquires Linux". But of course could "never" happen, according to you. Ah. The ill-informed. You've got to love them! *sniggers* |

"Some other evidence is Micrsoft's willingness to make such huge purchases. Namely Linux cost them 19 billion, and Nintendo's offer of 25 billion will be considerably smaller next time Microsoft goes to the dealing table. Since Nintendo's stock has already fallen 40% this year alone, Nintendo is nearing the market cap of EA. EA is 10 billion strong."
For posterity :) |

I think we should stop teasing him now because we have better things to worry about.
Like rampaging video characters in a completely true news story - watch out Bill the Master Chief is coming for you! In other news Gameplay is flogging a load of naff THQ games. |

I simply hate games that won't let you save mid-level, especially when they're full of frustrating platform puzzles that take multiple goes to get past.
from what i can gather, when you save in game it remembers any of the important stuff that you've got. well, the blue coins anyway. so you can have a good explore around, find loads of blue coins and let the game save, then just concentrate on finishing the level separately. which so far has been pretty easy once you acquire the boost pack :) The gold coins just seem to respawn each time you start the level so i tend to ignore them unless i need health. |

-> eviltobz: yes exactly, I think that's how it works. Which is OK as far as it goes but a real pain when you spend ages and ages trying to get past a given obstacle only to have to do it all over again next time you start. Still, haven't got that rocket pack yet so let's see if that makes a difference...

Cheers Azule, doesn't really help much though cos they disappear after a set period of time (meaning the task is against the clock?) and you can't take them down with you into the tunnels, so I'm guessing it's an annoying "pixel perfect timed hoof across the canal" jobby.
Also cheers for the link eviltobz, I confess I've already checked gamefaqs and not found the answer to the durian question (haven't looked at all the walkthroughs though). |

Well I can honestly say that i've never had as much fun with a console in such a short time as i have with my cube.
Am well chuffed i swapped the 'box for it. Picked up SMS at the weekend, and whilst in my local games trader i spotted pikmin for 20 brand new. So i bought that aswell... Pikmin is sublime! I love that game. SMS is fantastic, SMB and SSB:M are superb both single and multi player. Rogue leader is like being in a film (albeit a sodding hard one..) I think for the first half hour of playing this game i was just running around squirting everything with water and boosting over things. So much fun :) Anyway, that's my Ninty fanboyism over for now... But my ps2's hardly getting a look in these days... |

hmmm. maybe. am waiting for GTA vice city of course.
And i expect that BGIE is off trying to gather really useful info about how microsoft are actually buying out the ports at this very moment, giving each of the picketers a free xbox bundle in order that they allow all MS shipments through the blockade, but throw all the sony and ninty ones in the water. It's true! Honest - i just made that up, therefore it has to be true!!!! Ahem. |

"M$ buy's out Sony in shock $1 sale, Sony realising the futility of trying to compete against M$ step down their bid to be a better company. Dick Darlington is quoted as saying "We suck". Analysts have predicted this sale ever since M$ purchased Linux, Uranus and Pluto."

Not sure - i think it's a third party card. I'll probbly pick up an official larger card at the weekend and copy everything across onto that instead...
I think the problem for me in SMB is i try to pick up all the bananas, if i just go straight to the end of the level i might manage to rack the points up a little faster! |
