With the recent delays and cancellations of games on the 3DS, do you think it’s te beginning of a worrying trend? Or is it just early days for us to be worrying?
Also why will you not accept bacon as the tasty meat overlord?
I really think Nintendo should 1UP Sony with a new version of the 3DS. Throw in a 2nd Slide pad under the four main buttons, make the 3D screen as big as the DSiXL screen & job done! Oh and knock a few bucks off the price too.
Sorry to jump in but I couldnt resist;)

Struggling to find an actual question in there… 😛
I need names for the offspring that is gestating in my girlfriend.
Halp!
-
Congratulations! Boy or girl?
-
Don’t know and will probably keep it that way 😛
I’m totally convincing my girlfriend on a nerdy name.-
Dexter if it’s a boy. Hawke if it’s a girl.
-

-
Shepard.
Works if its a boy or a girl. -
There are so many great usernames just in this thread alone that could provide suitable names for either boy or girl, your own handle included 🙂
Seriously, though, congrats! And don’t sweat it, sometimes you just don’t know their name until you see them for the first time.
-
I’ll direct my gf here if people keep giving me options 😛

-
Congratulations.
I don’t have any actual suggestions, but please, for the love of all that is right, give your child a name with the traditional spelling. There’s nothing wrong with a “boring” name, but going crazy and throwing in extra vowels or other such madness will lead to a lifetime of frustration.
-
Nah Bru, yoo totes wunna call you’re kid Zhelldhah. It’s like a gaming name but with totes awesome spelling.
…
I am not sure what type of voice that was supposed to be. In my mind it began as bogan, then shifted to “wog,” and now I have no idea where it went…
-
Oh I hear that.
I don’t know what it is with people having the have the name be totally different to everything else.-
I honestly don’t get it.
My brother and sister both have non-standard names and it does cause some hassle. I got lucky with boring old Adam. Then there are my cousins, who mainly have correctly spelled “exotic” names like Phoenix.
-
I’m happy with something 3-5 letters long.
I don’t want them to have to spend half their life spelling their name out for people.

What are your thoughts regarding the Sony/Microsoft website? Obviously this is a placeholder, but is this collaborative system:
a) never going to happen, and good
b) never going to happen, and I want to die
c) might happen, but don’t get hopes up
d) likely
?
-
I hope it happens.
JUST so the Microsoft/Sony fanboys have to nom on a huge slice of humble pie.
Om nom nom nom
-
I hope so too, but because I already own one of each console, I won’t be feasting on anything.
Except I will have more money for food, so… FEAST.
(Also, combined GAMERSCORE would be epic) 😛

With the leak of the Old Republic collector’s edition, I’m super psyched for that game. Have you played MMOs before, and do you intend to give TOR a go?
Also, I’m thinking of starting a Kotaku AU Republic guild – show of hands who’s interested? Also, name suggestions. I’ll probably make it this afternoon sometime and post the details here or in TAY.

Guild names:
It’s A Trap
Porkins Report In-
Red Leader Standing By.
And every member has to put Red in front of their name so they can all do role call.
-
-
Totally playing Empire though.
Mmm tasty Sith -
Steered clear of MMO’s in the past, but this one does seem to be forcing me down an all to familiar path.
If I submit and sign up, all the way with KotakuAU guild. Jedi or Sith?
-
Well, I’m going for Republic (i.e. Jedi et al), but I’m sure someone would make an Empire equivalent.

Join the dark side!
We have cookies

So on a scale of 1 to 18 (with 18 being the highest), what do you think the chances are of us having an R rating agreed upon by the end of the week?
Also I just realised that R is for 18+ people and is also the 18th letter in the alphabet. Does this blow your mind?
-
Blind mown.
I’ve come to the realization that I really like hard games.
With this this in mind, should I chase down a copy of Demon’s Souls? OR should I wait it out for Dark Souls instead?
-
You should buy a copy now, then wait for Dark Souls to come out, and then play through both of them.
AT THE SAME TIME!
-
What? Like this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzhCa5l5AFAI would PAY to see that done with Demons and Dark Souls.
-
Get Demon’s Souls.
Get it right NOW
Amazing game is amazing.
Speaking of difficult games, when the hell is the new Thief coming out?-
Yeah but with Dark Souls around the corner should I just wait for that?
-
Still got a few months 🙂
-
-
As soon as someone gets fired for spelling it “Thi4f”, I hope.
-
Ugh I hope that was just a working title.

N0 W4Y BR0, I TH1NK 1T5 T0T3S A 13G17 W4Y 2 5P331 TH1NGS!
Please kill me.

Do you feel dirty?
Because I feel ashamed just for letting my eyes soak that nonsense in (and understanding it without having to think) -
I think the worst part for me was that I managed to use “1” as both an “i” and an “l”.
-
-
that video made me sad.
It took a little away from Outland’s awesomeness for me
Trials HD? You say you like hard games and you seem to play heaps of arcade titles.. I just think you talk big… (troll comment, but dude, you gotta play THD)
-
I played it on a mate’s profile, it’s the tits. I REALLY need to get my own copy.
Funnily enough I was just thinking of downloading it the other day thanks to a certain riddle-ridden article I read somewhere…
If I remember correctly, the servers for Demon’s Souls are going to be shut down permanently later this year. Which sucks balls because I keep getting distracted and I haven’t even beaten the game *once* yet and I so was hoping to do so… maybe even try to get the elusive Platinum trophy.
The server shut down might only apply to North America though, so before you go taking my word for gospel I’d suggest looking it up. Demon’s Souls is a *Wonderful* game though and I highly recommend it. 🙂
Did you hack my phone Mark?

*throws pie*
Are you looking forward to the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved?
I saw some gameplay footage yesterday, SO NOSTALGIC.
-
If I remember correctly, Mark wasn’t interested in the single player, but more the multiplayer side of it, and while it runs in the reach engine, he is hoping that the gameplay itself functions like the original Halo’s, rather than it just being a map-pack for Reach.
Personally, I’m psyched, because I love that campaign anyway!
Are big publishers good or bad for video game creativity?
-
If you ask me (which you didn’t but what the hell), it’s consumers that are bad for creativity. They keep churning out sequels and remakes and rip offs and we keep buying them so they keep making them. When they try something different it more often than not ends in commercial failure.
