    Yeah at the third dungeon myself and loving it. Only problems are a pretty pointless upgrade system and some occasionally awkward bomb bowling. Other than that I think it's vintage Zelda.

    And epically holding your sword skyward is the single most satisfying motion control motion yet!

    Although I admit to being surprised at how blunt Nintendo have made it that Zelda wants to **** Link and vice versa. Could cut the sexual tension with a master sword.

    That was one of the most frustrating bits. It takes about 4 or 5 attempts to get him to hold the thing up straight for me.

    Only ever takes me one or max two attempts, and my sensor bar is in an unavoidably awkward raised position!

    Well I could think of a few ways that work for me to gain a womans attention.

    I can think of another way you can. ;)




    Getting their attention is not always a good thing though! :p

    Wiimotion plus is so accurate that it actually doesn't use the sensor bar at all.

    Really? Interesting!

    It did seem to somewhat loose calibration towards the end of one longer play session, but otherwise I'm generally impressed. I do wish I had a lower TV though, even without sensor bar, but alas one must make do.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    Yeah. The sensor bar is only really used for selecting things in your inventory.

    Nope it doesn't even use it for that either. It's all carried out without the sensor bar which is why it can go out of calibration after a while. The snesor bar is only really used for calibration when you press down on the d-pad.

    Still not as good as the carfully planned WoW video with the fella shoving a remote up his arse :pac:

    Mega Man 2 speed run with live music... some people are just awesome:



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    I see the pointless e-voting machines are back in the news.

    I've always wondered how suitable they'd be to be gutted and turned into a MAME cab.

    I'll stand by my statement that the Megaman 2 soundtrack is probably the finest game soundtrack ever.

    It's people drawing videogame maps from memory. I'm definitely going to have to give it a go myself.

    And here's something really crazy. Apparently Silent Hill is influenced by... wait for it...


    Kindergarten Cop.

    The artists used it as a reference when designing the art:

    Oh and in the second Silent Hill maybe the wife was dying of a brain tumor.

    Now that'd be interesting, Arnie berating a group of kids when suddenly the faceless school nurse comes in and slices off his ghoolies with a scalpel....

    I'd was initially thinking I'd love to see someone do it for the Last Ninja, as it would be a challenge as I don't have the a good photographic memory.

    But when I actually tried to picture the first level of the Last Ninja 2,
    I realized I can memorize a lot of it, from playing the ****e out of it!

    Might give it a go If I'm bored in my course some day!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    Feel bad for the poor fecker who tried to draw the first level of Phantasy Star Online.

    The layout changes slightly each time you play it... hence me getting lost when we were playing it at my place last time around.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 34,522 CMod ✭✭✭✭CiDeRmAn


    I'm sure there's an admissions ward with a "service user" or two who tried to map Toe Jam & Earl....


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭DinoRex


    Had a go at drawing R-Type level 1 from memory:

    Attempt to draw a level from Halo:

    Was really hard to capture the circular level design.
    (too niche?)

    Master of the Universe


    A level from most modern FPS games.

    Here's the route through Halo 2 after the New Mombasa Area:

    Also a good stand in for any of Legend of Dragoon

    Which game is LCD?

    Googling LCD game isn't very helpful as you can imagine! ;)
