If the investors meeting this week is as interesting as we're hoping, we're going to see this thread move even more quickly. And we're going to see lots more people coming in, from one end of the gaming-political spectrum (Nintendo fanmen) to the other end of the gaming-political spectrum (hater trollchildren).

I'll welcome them all. Just remember, I'm constable No-Fun.

[EloquentM]

Tom, why don't you just go amazon?

[Agent Unknown]

So BG and Hylian Tom both have timed information they're gonna release later?

you guys scaring me with the spanish..lol

[hatchx]

What the hell is happening in here? Trying to figure out the last few pages is a huge puzzle.

[Agent Unknown]

By coincidence of today's events, my wife is Hispanic and earlier today I showed her the YouTube clip of the MST3K guys making fun of Spanish kids shows (per the gif above) and she said "Yep, that's pretty much what they're like...." lol

[Anth0ny]

10000!

We're going to hit 20k by the end of the investor conference, either due to pure rage, or ZOMG NEW NAME

I love the fact that this thread is only 11 days old.

We discovered there's a Spanish gaming forum very similar to GAF called "Vandal" and they've been using info and photoshops from our thread and Cabbie and HylianTom made friends with 'em. It's like a friendly bizarro world.

[invaderzim69]

Todos son locos. Lol. :)

:(

? They're just making fun of crazy Spanish kids shows, not the culture if that's what the frown is for. My wife who is Hispanic even agreed it was an accurate spoof of how silly those shows are.

[GameplayWhore]

Say, Tom, what happens if information you were given by possible leakers isn't actually covered by Nintendo at E3? Like if N doesn't reveal the CPU frequency but one or two of your confidants did?

[Azure J]

Seriously guys, bg's been on this for quite some time. Just let it be naturally.

Edit: OK, one second, the last thing in this thread was BG's post on when he can spoil a bit about things post E3 and now we're on a whole different page... My mind is fucked in ways I didn't think possible following this thread. :lol

[aeroslash]

Vandal? I used to go there before i knew about GAF, and also have some friends from there. Psyco3ler, who made the famous "Nintendo On" and the "Mario Universe" fakes used to post there also.
It's not that bad and they are generally nice people.

In the end, GAF is the best place to get the latest videogame news, so it's easy that people on other forums look here..

[GameplayWhore]

I like how the discovery of this site is apparently bringing a bunch of seldom (or never) posters who happen to speak Spanish or have a history at that site.

More blood for our sacrifices to the Great Hiroshi!

And all thanks to the avatar of the legendary shark-bird.

[HylianTom]

Tom, why don't you just go amazon?

'Cause I don't like the uncertainty of UPS delivery, especially when I'm spending vacation hours at work for that week. If Amazon was 100% reliable with their "same day delivery," I'd consider it, but they've been very sketchy with me on the times that I've used thus service. (and I say this as someone who loves and adores Amazon. My only credit card is the Amazon card, I've had Prime for years, etc)

Best case scenario? UPS drops it on my door in early afternoon.. that's 12+ hours of vacation week that I could've spent with my new system. So I go for the surer thing: midnight launch at a brick-and-mortar store, which has me playing by 1AM. Pretty sweet! :)

[Agent Unknown]

Aaaaand speaking of things related to madness and obsession, since we'll probably never see it on VC, Wii U or on a DS compilation, I just bought a mint Earthbound catridge off eBay with player's guide (new scratch and sniff stickers included). Hoo boy...

[HylianTom]

In that case, I'll reveal it to y'all, but I won't be revealing who the source is.

The original intent of my exercise was for me to find-out who's legit. That way, for future events, I know whom to trust. Meanwhile, by keeping these folks' trust, they in turn will have me as a safe outlet for disseminating information. An oath on Jake, as you've said in the past, is as serious as a Nintendo NDA. My hero Miyamoto could be here in my bedroom right now, begging me to open my email, and I will not budge.

The risk is this: I could have joke emails from joke characters. In which case, I end-up with egg on my face. But I figure that it would be worth the risk, considering what a "good" outcome would look like.

I remember when I bought my Wii... I literally spent the whole night reading both manuals and testing out for first time Wii Sports.

It was jaw dropping after jaw dropping with motion controls. At the end I was like...

"Wii...
"

Makes sense. thank you for your response. =}

Even in leather pants, brandishing a riding crop?

Haha! That's one other thing I like about a midnight launch: it feels like more of a triumph. Walking out of the store, prizes in my arms, eyeing the other customers and jealous johnny-come-too-latelies, hopping into the car, blasting some Zelda music while speeding home, waving at strangers who are still on the road at that hour - it's adding-up to be a memorable experience.

In contrast: having a UPS guy knock on the door at 632pm to be handed a pakage seems kinda, I don't know.. anticlimactic, perhaps? After over a year of waiting, that's not how I want the long, painful wait to end.

no that frown Is because that shit looks crazy as hell and I could possible get nightmares from it. lol

What? I've been following GAF for 4 or 5 years but i didn't register since last year. And i think that after 3 months with the account activated, I've already posted a decent number of post. At least, what my life has let me. You know, some of us has girlfriends, jobs, friends which are above GAF in my list of priorities.

Sorry for not being a true and pure GAF member like you man...

BTW, I'm Catalan, so Spanish is my second native language.

[HylianTom]

Makes sense. thank you for your response. =}

No problem! For 90%+ of my gaming purchases, I'm an Amazon/eBay guy. But Launch Day is the one notable exception. :)

Indeed. I am a rock!

My post wasn't an attack, and you seem to possibly be interpreting it as such. I apologize if I somehow caused offense.

[Agent Unknown]

Then look out for these guys:

[HylianTom]

The absolute joy, the euphoria.. it takes-over. That certain puzzled look on peoples' faces when you're screaming with happiness like a madman on that special drive home? Priceless!

Then look out for these guys: [img]Goron! aaah![/img] You look pretty tasty to them ;)

For some reason, I got this image of me dressed as the delicious Goron Ruby for Halloween.. mmmm..

Wow, you just got me hyped, lol. The only system I've ever bought at launch was 3DS and that was kind of disappointing because there wasn't much to play.

[Bagu]

BG = Reggie Believe

Wouldn't that be a hilarious revelation.

[aeroslash]

Ok. I interpreted that way. Excuse me.

[HylianTom]

Whenever I feel down, I like to think of that quick sequence of events.

That car ride home is a fun part of the new generation being kicked-off for my household. A pretty festive occasion! :D

[GameplayWhore]

Ok. I interpreted that way. Excuse me.

Aye, what I meant to convey was that I enjoy seeing something happen that causes a community to grow.

Whenever I feel down, I like to think of that quick sequence of events. That car ride home is a fun part of the new generation being kicked-off for my household. A pretty festive occasion! :D

The anticipation just before partaking in something truly new is a feeling that I will be very sad to miss out on this time around. :(

PS: ordered a kilt, yay! It's Irish Tara.

[NinjaTehFish]

If I get permission I may not be able to do it till after E3, but giving any hints would ruin it. I'm "anti-Ideaman". :P

So either your in politics or a CEO :p

[BGBW]

So BG and Hylian Tom both have timed information they're gonna release later?

Constantly get confused when I see this nickname.

[-Pyromaniac-]

BG just pm me the info. We cool.

[Linkhero1]

I wish I was in on all this lol. I need hype!

[Agent Unknown]

Oops, sorry, haha. Promise to say bgassassin from now on.

[Terrell]

This thread started going incredibly slow for a change.

According to google translate it means I do! lol. None of my schools taught Spanish, only French. Also, 안녕하세요!

Get that Klingon gibberish out of here! (OH GOD, I'm kidding, please don't hurt me)

[BGBW]

Oops, sorry, haha. Promise to say bgassassin from now on.

No need to worry about it. I just have to double check that I didn't get so drunk one night that I promised everyone I had insider information and then promptly forgot about it,

[Sardello]

After seeing New Super Mario Bros 2 for 3Ds is someone worried for the Mario Games that must be shown on E3?

I don't wanna see Miis with Racoon tail, with the abused "New Mario Bros" Style :(

[DaSorcerer7]

I wish I was in on all this lol. I need hype!

I guess its only a few weeks till E3...sigh :(

[Kandinsky]

...or knows someone?

Yeah a random Ign board user :P

[Chet Rippo]

No need to worry about it. I just have to double check that I didn't get so drunk one night that I promised everyone I had insider information and then promptly forgot about it,

Now that would be something.

[Log4Girlz]

We found our Spanish Alter Egos.

Que?

I don't get all the hate regarding NSMBW's artstyle. I understand that it's totally subjective, but I'm just surprised how universally despised the style is here on the board. Sure, Yoshi's Island had a far superior artstyle, but the fact that better art exists doesn't make any other art BAD or UGLY.

Not saying that you shouldn't think it's ugly; that's your right. I just find it weird how no one thought the game looked fine. I had an absolute ball with the game, and it's one of the few games my wife played with me beginning to end. Neither of us thought it was ugly at all, and none of my friends mentioned it, either.
