    I just can't agree. I had to give up on the Brawl story mode because I just got so bored with the pattern of 30 seconds of gameplay, followed by 3 hours of cutscenes, followed by 30 seconds of gameplay, followed by 3 hours of cutscenes.

    And paying too much attention to the story of a Smash bros game just seems like a fundamental kind of mistake to me. These characters are all out of their natural environment. Each character has a different tone, which now has to be forced to fit into the tone of a smash bros game. So none of the characters are acting properly "in character" to begin with.

    But we're gonna have to agree to disagree on that, I think.


    Agreed to disagreed. Brawl was definitely the weakest smash game. It had it's moments. Smash is good for parties. I can't stand online smash, not just because of the lag, but because it's just like fighting AI. Unless you're fighting with an online friend, but it's still not as fun as local multiplayer.

    I'd much rather play Mario Party 2 or 3 on the N64 than Smash.

    No I don't have a target card. No I don't want a target card.


    Target Australia don't have a card...so you're safe. I will ask if you have any Fly Buys?

    Let's pretend there's no such thing as emulation or keeping your old consoles or buying another one. Let's say while the N64 was out, that was the only chance you had to play the games.

    Which game would you regret not picking up?

    Oh.. me?!

    Conker's Bad Fur Day....

    The idea that a person should only do art if they're skilled at it is one of the great sins of modern education.

    Everyone has an inner self that needs to be expressed. The value of art is not in its technical quality, but in its ability to connect us with one another.

    QFT.

    Kaynil, stop being hard on yourself. Art is art. Do it, start painting, even if you think it's poop, paint anyway. Paint 'badly'. Do whatever it is that fulfils you creatively, throw every thought about what people might think away. It's all subjective, the art you create that you may think is bad, someone might just like it. It's very possible. Do it because you enjoy doing it.

    If you only have a bit of mud and a stick, you can create art. You actually have the luxury of paints, brushes, canvases and an easel. Try not to think about it too much, and just relax and do.

    Can't stand when people restrict or put down people who paint, or sing, or make videos... let's just say express themselves creatively. I've been a victim of that. When I used to busk, a douche bag knocked me down (with words) and it shattered my confidence. I love songwriting and playing guitar/harmonicas. I can't stand singing my songs in front of people though, because of that one prick. It'll take time, and I'm glad I have still have my instruments to play music. Also youtube has given me that creative drive I need.

    Anyway, the point is, fuck everyone else, just do what ever gets you through.

    ... and I work at Target.

    Like the Matrix... Overrated and overdone? [emoji14] sorry. I couldn't resist.

    I agree. Playing and back seat playing are different experiences. I am sure there is charm to it, I just don't have the pull to make me curious enough to excite me with the idea of playing their game.

    So how amazing are these games seriously?

    They are pretty amazing. Not only did they have unique gameplay elements, not seen in Mario games before. The visuals were some of the best seen on the Wii. For a SD console, the games looked pretty awesome. The music was orchestrated which provided a fuller sound.

    When people say "I'm over Mario games, they're all the same" - they haven't played Galaxy.

    Each stage is just fun.

    What do you think?

    Mario Galaxy one and two are the best games on the Wii for me, I recommend them for any Wii owners. Also Skyward Sword was a great Zelda game. Metroid Prime Trilogy, all though originally gamecube titles, the new controls make them a whole new experience; plus they're awesome games in general.
