Outlaw’s Angry Dome

So the buzz on the internets is that there will be a new Gyakuten Saiban game titled “Perfect Prosecutor” in which Miles Edgeworth is the star.  I’m not sure about how to feel about this.  Part of me is thrilled to have a new game in the series announced because the Ace Attorney games have become one of my favorite gaming series of all time.  But another part of me is sad to see a game that’s not focused around Wright or Apollo.  I’m really more interested at the next installment in Apollo’s saga since the ending of Apollo Justice left so many questions unanswered.  I know that the sequel is coming, but I’d rather have it sooner than later.

I wonder how gameplay will exactly work in this spin-off.  Usually, the prosecution doesn’t have much work to do since defendants are guilty unless proven innocent.  A new investigation mode has also been announced and I’m guessing a new court system also has to be implemented.  Going by Edgeworth’s story, and these new gameplay revelations, it’s probably not far off to think the game will happen during Edgeworth’s international travels during the second and/or third Phoenix Wright games.

In any case, I bet Oldbag is happy her Edgey-poo is back!

Really?

This is why we can’t have nice things people.

I’ve frequented GoNintendo and listened to the podcast for all my Nintendo news since late 2005, so it’s sad to see that Buddy the Podcast Dog passed away today. I’ve never had a much loved pet, or even family member, pass away so I can’t say I can relate to what RMC must be feeling, but I send him my regrets. The podcast wont be the same without Buddy barking, snoring, or farting throughout the entire show.

Oh god fucking damnit.  God damn you Oprah, and god damn you Rachel Ray.

The whore is getting her own cartoon.

Yes, I did it.  I rented Avatar: The Burning Earth for the easy 1000 achievement points.  I don’t feel guilty at all about it.

But is it wrong that I ended up playing the game for hours?  Admittedly  it’s a mediocre beat-em-up that is incredibly easy, has camera problems, and has ugly character models, but my love for Avatar is so deep that I can’t help but keep playing.  The same thing happened with me and Chocobo Racing, which has a metascore of 61%.  It gives credence to the thought that review scores mean nothing if you’re actually interested in the franchise.

Probably wont help with the whole Sonic Unleashed thing though.

Ok.  So Sonic finally confirmed the rumored Sonic Unleashed, whose screenshots have been floating around the internets for a few weeks now, and I can’t help but not care.  When is Sonic just going to give up and die?  He’s a bastardization of the brilliance of what he used to be; remember when he was cooler than Mario?  Now the series is full of bad voice acting (bring back Urkel!), overdramatic story lines, horrible camera, and a new batch of furries for every new game.  Sonic Unleashed is supposed to bring the series back to it’s roots with 2D gameplay in a 3D environment, and I’m slightly optimistic in regards to that, but…Were Sonic?  Really?  Really?!  Sonic Team couldn’t come up with better shit than that?!

…I’m probably going to buy it.
