Nope! Is there any reason I should take this rivalry seriously when the game presumably revolves around the pokemon themselves, not the storyline? I'm assuming the high seed is a board 8 creation.

Blue spends literally the entire game antagonizing you (the player, Red), is a step ahead of you the whole time and...


I wasn't really interested in the actual details of the rivalry. I was more asking if anyone actually cares about it. I just can't see anyone caring about the story (but maybe I'm wrong).

... can Trainer Blue vs Red seriously be considered a rivalry?

I take it you've never played Pokemon.

If the majority of users feel that something shouldn't be a violation, it probably shouldn't be. That's my take. It kind of works out like this anyway since most people only mark things that they feel are violations!

The game was really fun to play. The story was obviously lacking and I didn't care for any of the children characters, but that's not what you play SO games for!

Lots of stuff plotwise didn't make any sense to me

***SPOILERS***

Why did that one girl look exactly like Sophia?

Why were they able to develop a weapon too powerful for that planet's technology? Cliff makes a big deal about it to Fayt and then they never mention it again. Was it supposed to be foreshadowing the big twist or the presence of that unidentified object? Or was it just an abandoned Greeton plot point?

Why all the references to Greeton? You never go there and it has no significant impact on the plot.

If you're interested at all in Starcraft II and live in or near New York City, I'd like to encourage you to attend FallCraft this Saturday! It's free and open to the public (you just have to RSVP). From what I understand, they'll be playing the games live on these big projectors with commentary. Last I heard they are expecting ~100 people to show up based on the people who filled out the form online thus far.

More Details
http://www.cstarleague.com/news/1206/fallcraft-nyu
http://gamecenter.nyu.edu/2011/09/nyu-game-center-presents-fallcraft

The event takes place from 2-6 that afternoon, with a guest lecture in the middle. I'll be in the second match of the first set (before the lecture) assuming they stick to the planned schedule.

If you're coming, let me know so I know who to say "hi!" to! :)

Apparently a lot of people hate SO3 (one of my fav games in its genre), presumably because they are judging a gameplay based game on its story!

The interface isn't an improvement for users, but it is for developers, since the news ticker will show applications that people are using. Before no one would see them and they were having a hard time generating revenue.

When it comes to users (who will stay even if they complain) and developers, which do you think facebook thinks is more important?

48 points. I expected some of my choices to be more obscure than they were.

The categories I submitted for this contest were:
Super Mario Bros. Enemy (changed to "A one-word Super Mario Bros. enemy")
Pokemon with a name that starts with P (changed to "A Pokemon starting with the letter B")
Goldeneye (N64) Gun (changed to "A Goldeneye 007 gun")
A playable Final Fantasy character


Eh, my issue with these categories is that a full list of all possible correct answers is easily obtainable, making the contest essentially a Keynesian beauty contest.

do you guys really think NG2 is that much better than NG1? clones and wall climbing are good and all, but they're fundamentally the same exact game. I like NG2 a little bit more too but NG1 had much more of an impact, I think, due to coming first.

The first is a puzzle game disguised as a platformer while the second is a platformer!
