On Layton Shumway's Abobo's Big Adventure lets you punch your favorite NES games to death

"I love the reference to The Goonies II. At least I think that was Annie the mermaid in there. Such a fun game.

This will be something I play the ass off of."

On Daniel Feit's Losing Patience with Nathan Drake

"I love the first game's story and platforming areas, but the combat is (for me) terrible. I played it on easy and still died about every 15 minutes or so, but the voice acting is great.

I would have loved to see the game made into a CG Animated film, I would buy the shit out of that on Blu-ray.

I always think about picking them all up and trying to play them again, but just lose interest as soon as I die the first time."

On Dan "Shoe" Hsu's PlayStation 3D Display: Eyes-on impressions

"I just wonder why they didnt go for the 32-37 inch size. That would get more people interested in it.

Samir, not everyone has a nice HD tv yet, my best friend still uses a 27 inch CRT that he got around 2003 or so.

For $500 bucks I would go for it if I didn't have HD yet. The 3D is a nice bonus on top of that."

On Samir Torres' Mortal Kombat: Annihilation should perform harakiri

"I'm sort of (make that very) ashamed to say that I actually like this movie. But I was 12 or 13 when it came out, so mostly nostalgia?

Then again, I love all of the Resident Evil movies, so maybe I just have terrible taste in films..."

On Jason Lomberg's Video-game movies and the hypocrites who reward mediocrity

"I know that I am going to catch some crap for saying this, but I generally enjoy video game movies as a whole. Sure, they are not cinematic masterpieces, but they are (for the most part) great popcorn flicks. The only ones I will generally stay away from are the Uwe Boll films: Blood Rayne, House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, etc.

I actually enjoy the Resident Evil films...although that could be my long standing crush on Milla Jovovitch. Super Mario Brothers is a terrible film, but I will watch it anytime someone brings it up. Tomb Raider was decent as well.

It all boils down to people liking different types of movies, some people like me hate the Saw franchise, yet it makes millions of dollars and several sequels. Why? Because people go and see them. You may hate video game adaptations, but most of the movie going public doesn't (to a certain point anyways.) You hit the nail on the head with the Star Wars remark, no matter how bad we claim they are, we still went to see them.

Perhaps it is just the "in thing" to claim to hate video game movies...."

On Samir Torres' How many times can you lose before quitting?

"da II: The Adventure of Link. I have been playing this game since the early '90s, and I still can't beat it without the game genie. I can make it up to the final palace, but that damn thunderbird slaughters me everytime. Also, I can't beat Contra without the Konami Code....s"

On Demian Linn's E3 2011: Potent quotables from E3 day one

"I see what you did there...."

On Dan "Shoe" Hsu's E3 2011: Detailed impressions of the Wii U controller

"I just watched the conference on G4.....this new system looks really interesting. Plus I am extremely excited for Arkham City on it!

I would assume that means it has to be a minimum of 720p right? Even if it is not 1080p?

(edit) Never mind...Reggie Fils-Aime just said it is 1080p."

On Jason Lomberg's Fox News misses the facts when debating NEA's inclusion of video games

"I would be cautious in using a documentary film as evidence for any sort of idea. A flimmaker is out to make money and spread his paticular brand of politics or ideas, not represent the fair and unbiased truth.

Also, A Republican would state that the Democrats are evil and equate them to Darth Vader.

No news service is unbiased and fair, they all have a spin to place on every bit of news, whether that be CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, or the Weather Channel."

On Chas Guidry's The 3DS line-up has something for you, us, and them

"For me, buying a 3DS was a no brainer...it doesn't hurt that the last handheld system I bought was an original DS. I am really looking forward to a 3D Zelda game or Mario also."

On Dan "Shoe" Hsu's A PAX PSA: Please wash your goddamn hands

"I finally got off my ass and registered (been a lurker since the start) just to comment on this.

I am not surprised at all that people don't wash their hands. I also work at a hospital and you would be surprised, disgusted, horrified, grossed out, etc...to see what people do there.

I went to a Video Games Live performance here in Indianapolis a few years ago, it was during Gen Con and I took my girlfriend. Her thoughts? "If we ever come here again we are bring Lysol and air freshener to sanitize every one around us.""
