It seems like teachers/schools are A LOT stricter these days with monitoring how you use your graphing calc. I was reading on the ticalc forums that many schools make the students line up once a week and the teacher erases ALL user programs in your calc memory - WTF?!? I would be so pissed if I had to go through that. When I was in high school, teachers always told us not to use "cheating" programs on your calc (they didn't care about games), but NOT ONCE did a teacher ever actually check my calculator. Crazy.

Dear Buttercup,

I hate to break it to you, but unicorns are not merely horned horses (an assumption you seem to be under).

A lot of horses like to think this, and it's wishful thinking on their part, really.

Real unicorns have many attributes besides the obvious horn that set them far apart from horse-folk. Cloven hooves, a tufty beard and a tail like a lion's, for starters (not to mention they're immortal).

technically the bears from golden compass are panserbjørn (armored bears) which are different from polar bears.

everything else seemed pretty factual though, good job.

I think it's hacked =(. Unless there was an event I don't know about (which is possible), I don't think that's a legit OT for Deoxys.

To people commenting about the official Ar tonelico II art, the bath/shower/towel theme isn't just some random sexy image - in the game those characters can take a bath to gain stat boosts. It's really cute. You put little bath salts and stuff in the water and they splash around and level up. Seriously.

Close, but they're technically gerbils.

I agree that Rotom should be a legendary, but "officially" (according to the Pokemon company) he's not a legendary. I don't agree with Phione being a legendary either, but I had to go with the official word.

I wasn't counting Smeargle, because technically he only learns ONE move, Sketch, and then copies other moves permanently from other Pokemon. He can't learn a TM/HM move in the normal way.

Thanks dude, that's corrected now.

@chisfer:
I think the Darkrai download on Ranger 2 was a special event that ended already (it was only possible to get through Jan 30th, 2009 in North America I believe).

I didn't include every event in this guide because it's not something you can go back and get once you've missed it. This guide is intended to show the ways you can get the various legendaries through normal gameplay, without hacking or special events.

It is silly though, that Manaphy is available anytime in the first Ranger by using the code, but Darkrai was a finite event... weird.

The Giratina thing is weird. I suspected it was random too, but then two different people at the office with two different games tried it and it worked. It definitely worked for me when I tried it. Maybe it's just more likely it will work that way, but doesn't work 100% of the time? I'm really not sure actually.

As for Ho-Oh, there's nothing there that would indicate that it's not legit. That info matches up perfectly with one of the Ho-Oh events in the US. You can actually find that exact Pokemon in serebii.net's list of event Pokemon:

7 months 14 days ago on GR Asks: Why do some cartridge games still have loading screens?
@reyalejandro13:
I agree. Pokemon doesn't have a single load screen (except if you count stuff like, the trading animation, which I don't think should count), despite being such an immense game.

Given this explanation, I'm still unclear as to why Puzzle Quest Galactrix has such horrible loads. If it's just an issue of decompressing graphics (rather than some sort of shoddy programming issue), why are the loads so bad in Galactrix? I mean, what graphics are there to decompress!?! Why?!? How happen!?!? You literally can't bring up your item inventory without it having to load. Also, I don't remember Challenge of the Warlords having any load times on DS.

@Spybreak8

Yeah, I agree about the battles blocking your way all the time when you're just trying to get from point A to point B in the original PQ.

You might be disappointed that the "leapgate hacking" in Galactrix functions pretty much the same way - leapgates are constantly going "offline" and you have to hack and rehack them to get from point to point on the map. And like I mentioned, you don't even get experience points from hacking. Bleh.

I still like the game though, hehe.

Yeah, a lot of the subject matter is surprisingly dark, although from what I've played there's nothing actually GRAPHIC in it... I'm really curious what rating this is going to get from the ESRB.

@dravendefay - Your obviously a retard.

NSMBW is NOT the best game on Wii, and it is NOT the best Mario 2D platformer. I'm a Mario fanboy, and you my friend are some middle age weirdo who has just got into gaming with his 6 year old daughter. This review is reasonable and i than Brett for making it so far. I hate it when people say bad stuff about Mario, but this does not. It is portraying a fair opinion that fits perfectly into the form of a review. Your opinion is incredibly bias, not to mention idiotic. There is no "best" Mario platformer, they are all great, but this is the weakest one. I don't own the game, and i won't buy it (soon), but i've played it, and i agree with this review almost 100%. SMW, SMB3, SM64 and SML are way better than this poor excuse of a Mario platformer, its the first one on a console in 18 fucking years, it should of been better. Go to hell.

And the thing that makes me even more angry is the fact Miyamoto-san is even considering implicating the crappy Super Guide into SMG2, which he say's will be more challenging than the last. All i can say to that is...

WTF?????!!!!

Amazon ftw (I'm broke now) and I have Tony Hawk American Sk8land for my DS, love it! I'm glad that Ride is failing, maybe end this peripheral crap. Seriously there are a ton of games that are good though so take the glass half full or half empty.

2 days 5 hours ago on Best of the Black Friday deals
@TrigunGunner My thoughts exactly, I got all my deals from Amazon and at "doorbuster" prices/also got tons of blurays for like 8 to 10 bucks. Also got L4D2 from Best Buy at $35 and went in on the Buy 2 Get 1 Free Used Games at Gamestop to get Forza3/Shift/CoDWaW. Although I have a console so I'm good, glad everyone else will join in on the gaming bliss. I'd grab a PS3 now since they got their act together, plus I really want to play Rachet, but I a lot of less expensive items always wins out lol.

I too am veggie as you say. And I just had to add that Cundy's list of Pixar films is clearly wrong. It's obviously:

Toy Story
Toy Story 2
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Wall-E
Monsters Inc
Ratatouille
Bug's Life
Up (haven't seen yet)
Cars (haven't seen yet but probably last anyway)

But I don't think I've disliked any of them that I've seen...

Oh, and I like frogs - that was a very harsh picture :/
