I wasn't hitherto aware of a sub-group who had trouble distinguishing between saying "I love you" and peeing, it's surprising to tell the truth.
I imagine in such groups courtship rituals are often soggy affairs, with much emphasis on dark coloured trousers and incontinence pants.
You obviously haven't heard this song then;

It was good, I just didn't love it like I would a zelda game. There's something wrong when I couldn't be bothered with spirit tracks because I was so ambivalent to the last one. I think it was just so insultingly easy that I wasn't engaged at all by the game.

Still no sign of Soul Hackers though. Nintendo seem to be getting very very friendly with Atlus at the moment what with the Fire Emblem/SMT cross over and Nintendo really pushing SMTIV as a big game on the 3DS, it might mean less bul **** for European gamers.
Vita is a fantastic piece of hardware, I just hope Sony announce more games soon because it's really not living up to it's potential. I don't think anything will save it though. I don't really see where the Vita appeals. 3DS has the younger audience and gamers while the Vita really is not aimed at a younger market.
Hopefully Soul Sacrifice will be good.

Dropship Damrey looks very interesting. It looks a bit like Enemy Zero. The two guys behind it made a very famous japanese visual novel called night of the sickle weasel, check out the Game Centre CX episode with it, it's fantastic.

Just beat Resident Evil 6. I'm not impressed at all. A very bland game and the whimper it ended with, Ada Wong's final chapter, was so poor. Enemies weren't fun to fight and they just got completely wrong the gameplay that made Resi 4 so good and had some very bland level design.

A new Sega Saturn prototype uncovered. One with a built in NetLink modem for online play.
http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?45489-The-Real-Sega-Pluto
You know, it's amazing how even in an era where everyone has the internet, there's always something new to find.Super Magnetic wrote:Hi everyone,
After a good 14 years or so of sitting on this, I've decided it's time to share a little bit of Sega lore with those who would appreciate it most.
First, a little background info -- I was introduced to this site by Monkfish (a great friend who recently passed away, RIP), who provided everyone with the Geist build, if memory serves. We worked together at Sega back in the day, and a bout of reminiscence over my old friend led me to remember this site, which leads us to today.
I'm here to reveal a piece of unreleased Sega hardware -- the Pluto. And no, it's not that Nomad wannabe -- it's a Saturn with a Netlink built in. But enough words, on with the console porn:
A little more background info -- as most of you know, Sega is a company with a history of turmoil. Employee turnover is a sad theme, and the Sonic Reaper (as we call him) strikes all too frequently. As such, the past gets forgotten quickly -- treasures from the previous generation are quickly cast aside, as a new regime tries to make a name for themselves (or justify their existence). As such, some of said treasures get left on laid-off-peoples' desks. And in a beautiful twist of fate, this beauty ended up finding its way to my desk, and then in a box with the rest of my stuff when I left Sega.
I was told that only two of these prototypes were made -- and this is #2.
This thing is a beast, and definitely the heaviest console I've ever held in my hands. The front features two controller ports, and on top you have a flip-top drive bay, a cart slot, a Power button, and the venerable Reset button. Note that the logo still says Saturn, so I'm guessing the Pluto codename was simply that, and they were thinking of branding it with the Saturn name. (The logo is printed on production-style though, so I'm guessing they were fairly serious about this one.) The left and right sides feature beautiful-and-exotic vents, while the back is standard Saturn, save for the Netlink ports. The bottom has nothing of note except for the "PLUTO-02" sticker (which is, of course, of note).
But does it work? I honestly never tried to fire it up until now. Yesterday I picked up a power cable from Akihabara (I'm based in Japan these days), and with a little trepidation, I pressed the POWER button...
... and it lives! We're dealing with a straight-up USA NTSC Saturn here (NTSC-4-V1.00a, for those keeping score), which is sadly region locked, so my copy of Policenauts doesn't get any love. I don't have any US titles on hand, so I'm unfortunately not able to test a disc booting. Can't even imagine how I'd go about testing the Netlink part of this device (no landline here). I haven't had the guts to open it up and see if there's anything special inside, as I'm the kind of guy who tends to break wires and lose screws. I'm also not sure of the whereabouts of the Pluto-1 -- I'm guessing someone from the pre-Dreamcast days has it, though.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a bit of rare Sega history with the few people in this world who might still care, and see if anyone else has any knowledge about this bad boy. I think it's an interesting piece, and it hearkens back to a time when Sega was brave, and would try just about anything. Ah, how I miss that Sega...
Ed: DAMMIT, that's what I get for being too detailed!0 -

In an alternate universe R€trog@mer on the R&A forum has just posted some photos of the rare, unreleased PSone with a screen, built by the console also-rans Sony....
True story (possibly)!
What I did find in another forum, was Retr0 dressed up as Mario...I'd normally have thought if it as meme fodder but then I remembered he's suffered enough in that thread

Only when your photo is up on a wall at a dart station have you suffered enough!
Go on, resurrect that Retr0 meme thread 0 -
