What really blows my mind is that fact that she's not even attractive but gets all sort of attention just cause she's in the gaming industry.

She comes across as a well rounded person to me.


I honestly feel sorry for the way she is treated. The dignified way she conducts herself despite the melodrama that orbits her work, speaks volumes about the special quality of her inner essence.

Fact: Sega was so poorly ran that they were paying companies like Timex (Shenmue) and Pizza Hut (Crazy Taxi) to put their products in Sega's games. Basically Sega was paying companies so they could advertise their products.

The PS1 and PS2 have both sold over 100 million units.

How? I just don't understand. I'm pretty sure the original Game Boy sold over 100 million units, but it was small, cheap, and portable. It's not really a surprise that it would be a sales megaton.

But home consoles selling that much? Insanity.

I'm surprised there are people who did not know the cloud-bush thing in Super Mario.

Wow. That Mario screen.

You know you can get inside your village in Secret of Mana? Just press Y (menu button) over and over and you inch your way inside. Of course you're doomed to be stuck unless you have the drum for Flammy to pick you up. :)

DMA Designs, the company behind Lemmings and the N64 games Space Station Silicon Valley and Body Harvest would go on to become Rockstar North and produce the industry-changing Grand Theft Auto III. It sort of blows my mind that people completely overlook Body Harvest as a primitive GTA III.

Also, my mind is blown in a small nostalgic way as I'm currently playing Sin and Punishment on the Virtual Console. On its release, I never would have dreamed I'd get to play that game eight years and two console generations later via download on a system based on motion control.

Atari back in the day produced 12mil copies of pac-man, when they only sold 10mil Atari 2600's. (The game didnt sell shit BTW)

Edit: the game sold about 7mil, however Atari lost a shitload when they dumped the other 5.

If I had three wishes, I would wish for:

1. The inability to see the FedEx arrow thing
2. The inability to see the Mario cloudbushes thing
3. The inability to ever see something unseeable ever again or see anything that is currently unseeable.

Oh, and speaking of unseeable things, have you guys ever noticed Mr. Mimal? He's the chef in the United States map.

"cloudbushes are the new fed ex arrow :("


I still don't understand what an arrow in fedex has to do with anything... :(

I had seen the logo probably thousands of times, and never noticed the arrow between the E and X. It got pointed out to me on these very boards a year ago or so, and now EVERY time I see the logo all I can see is the arrow. I try not to see the arrow, there it is. Pointing, laughing.

I remember playing Shenmue back in 2000 and being blown away by Ryo's shadow. It's so basic now, but I loved it at the time.

Surprisingly, the sensationalist thread title does not disappoint.


Anything involving TOSE. Also the fact that GameArts was the secret studio making Brawl together with Sakurai.

oh, and the person who pointed the cloudbush out deserves a fucking tag for that. seen unseen etc.

I already knew about the FedEx arrow and i don't mind it, but the Cloudbushgate situation... that has the potential to end all of gaming as we know it. :S

Oh and, MetalMurphy and WrikaWrek:

I'd actually seen it before and totally forgotten about it until you guys brought it up. I'm sure I'll forget about it after this, too. In conclusion, lies!

Not quite video game related, but the Chevrolet Nova is also a backronym for the other GM X-Body cars at the time...

NOVA
OMEGA (Oldsmobile)
VENTURA (Pontiac)
APOLLO (Buick)

Did that blow anyone's mind?
