Hey, let me try to clear a few things up and then you're free to make your own judgments.

For the visuals we attempted to recapture some of the visual elements of the Mother series. We're big fans of the minimalist style, the use of color, the angles, and the variations of the NPCs. We did not steal or alter any graphics from that series.

The similarities do not really go beyond the visuals, and of course, a few touches of humor. The UI and combat system do not follow the Mother series. Hardly anything is shown of the gameplay here so I hope when we release more media this will become clearer.

This isn't "taking inspiration" from the Mother series. This is blatant STEALING. The UI, characters and combat system is a direct re skin of Mother 3, and some of the sprites (especially the background ones) are actually the exact same sprites from Mother 3 GBA edition.

Is this a joke? It's not possible to rip off Mother 2/3 more than these guys have.

If they took inspiration from Mother 3, thats not a bad thing. But they should at least acknowledge it. This is like Tarantino and City on Fire

Looks like a ripoff of Mother 3.

Re: Interview with Vic Mignogna

Vic Mognogna is no Christian. Given the fact that his history and antics have given him a less than sterling reputation with quite a few people, I find it hard to believe that he is of such a religion. Especially when his antics have brought him nothing but negativity and an already tranished reputation to the Starship Farragut production.

This Star Trek fan film project of his is nothing more than an act of spite against the hard working people over at Star Trek-New Voyages/Phase II. Personally, this kind of vendetta is not only(as Spock would say 'illogical')but also disgusting as sin.

Avoid Star Trek Continues like AIDS and stick with Star Trek-New Voyages/Phase II.

Ahh This is so cool! i cant wait! I think the idea of being able to finally be your favourite DBZ is awesome, Vegeta here i come! Though i will be quite interested to see how they are going to work this i.e. set command chains like their older games or create own combo's or perhaps both. Intrigued to see about the new characters... surely they can not just be inventing characters to place in DBZ because that i dont think will work so well. Truly Excited.

~lol~ Even today, all you have to do is say you're Christian and people want to throw you on some Cross. Comes with the territory.

Re: MCM Buzz Exclusive: Eureka creator speaks about cancellation!

Louisaboothe — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 04:18:50 -0000

My whole family loves Eureka! It is intelligent, interesting, fun, and above all entertaining. We are so sorry the show will be ending. Eureka is the only truly enjoyable series in the whole week. (The others are either violent, morbid, or just plain boring.) Our gratitude goes out to the writers, especially, the actors, who were just great, and all the crew who made it such a pleasure to watch. Please create another series just as wonderful, we will be looking forward to seeing you all in something special soon.
Sincerely,
The Budka Family

Re: BioWare’s Dangerous Precedent – the Mass Effect 3 Ending

SPOILERS ALERT!

HERE BE SPOILERS!

SPOILERS TO FOLLOW!

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF SPOILERS!

DO NOT INGEST IF ALLERGIC TO SPOILERS!

I've seen a lot of these articles like this and I do agree with most of it but there are some parts that I feel need another voice. I for one am in the camp that felt like the last 10 minutes of the game were rushed and had little thought put into them. The mass effect series has always been hugely focused on player choice and freedom, so like many, I went in expecting to see the consequences of my actions. This journey through the series has been a rather personal one for me. I've made it a personal goal to only ever play each game through once until the story was completed and I would live with whatever losses I took along the way. For me, theres only been one Shepard and dear god has life been cruel to her. In the suicide mission at the end of ME2, I had two losses, Thane and Mordin. Some of my favourite characters in video gaming.

This way of playing has made my incredibly emotionally invested in the series. I mourned the loss of my squad, I shed a tear watching the shuttle with the kid get shot down and the soundtrack when leaving earth still tugs at my heartstrings. I got verbally abusive at the screen when Kai Leng beats you to the Prothean Beacon, I felt an extreme sense of duty rushing to rescue the council from Udina and dear god was I proud of the army I'd assembled.

The thousands of details that carry over from one game to the next, I've not sat and explored the others myself. To me there is only one Shepard and that's mine. Which is why when the ending came to pass, I felt sorely let down. I didn't mind the twists such as the Illusive mans idea of control that you've been fighting against all the time being the "paragon" option. I didn't mind that the Illusive man's last moments were just a mirror or Saren's. Hell, I liked and applaud that. I don't even mind that Casey Hudson outright lied to us by presenting us with the choice of a Red explosion, blue explosion or green explosion after saying. "It’s not even in any way like the traditional game endings, where you can say how many endings there are or whether you got ending A, B, or C.....The endings have a lot more sophistication and
variety in them."

What really gets me about the whole thing is the total lack of closure.

What happens after you've set off the Crucible? All we know is the Normandy + Love Interest land on a forest planet and that's it.

Now ignoring the obvious questions that people are asking such as "Why was Joker running away from the fight?", I have a few more that seem to me to be much more prevalent.

What happened to everyone? With the destruction of the Mass Relay's, no matter what option you picked, about 80% of the galaxy is now stranded in the solar system with the main means of travel wiped out. Without that, how does anyone plan to get home again? Earth is a wreck and not exactly fit for a refugee camp for absolutely everyone. Even if the relay's weren't destroyed, do any of the alliances my Shepard formed stay standing? Do the Krogan and the Turians remain allies? Do the Quarians try and turn on the Geth again? If you cured the Genophage, do the Krogan break their word and slaughter the rest of the galaxy?

Even more personal questions remain unanswered. How many of my friends survived? All I saw alive was Joker, Garrus and Ashley. What about Liara? The last I saw her we were running towards the beam, a Reaper fired at us and that was it. I have no idea if she's alive like Garrus who was also with me or lying somewhere on earths surface, still smoking. Miranda? Wrex? Jacob? Samara? Did any of them survive the battle?

I was expecting this installment of the series to be the final one. The destruction of the Mass Relay's were a sign of that. So why not show a long and detailed description of how all of your choices have turned out and how the galaxy will live on. You don't have to plan for another game inside the same universe that imports saves and choices from three other games. Give our Shepard's a good send off. Even if the outcome is always that your Shepard dies. Make his/her life worth it. Give it meaning. Cos as everything stands, all your efforts are for naught. You neutralised the reaper threat and simulataneously caused the extinction and wipe out of the galaxy they came to eradicate.

For me, I'm still not going to replay the series. Because without answers to these questions, my story is not yet over. We don't want to change the ending. We don't want Bioware to go against their artistic integrity. All we want is what we've had for the last 2.99 games. To see the full consequences of our actions.

I really wish I got the name of the lovely lady who drew a manga portrait of me and my missus, as it is amazing and I just wish I had a way of getting more in the future. The stall was two oriental ladies next to the Spacebabe 113 table. Anyone got any ideas if they have a website?
