It's up to US as INDIVIDUALS to decide whether or not we decide to hunt or eat the flesh from another living being.
By the way, a friend of mine was was shooting for grouse up in Scotland - and he accidentally shot a golden eagle. As you may know a golden eagle is a protected species, so he was brought into the court. My friend said it was an accident and it got into his line of fire and the judge was about to let him off, but before he did he asked him out of interest what he did with the carcass of the golden eagle. He said "I ate it." The judge then asked him what it tasted like. My friend replied, "rather like swan."
Seriously, PETA get me peed off in a way I can't describe. Why can't they just respect that people eat or wear animal produce and they can't act like Nazis and tell us what to think with their bogus propaganda?
By the way, that Western Black Rhinoceros burger was delicious
Here's the re-visiting of Castlevania II: Simon's Quest by the Angry Video Game Nerd, along with a review of Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrLdIiW6bEo
I'll give my favourite ten, in no particular order...
Super Mario World Super Metroid The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Super Castlevania IV Donkey Kong Country Super Mario Kart Yoshi's Island Starwing Final Fantasy VI Super Mario RPG
Wow. I guess this means Nintendo aren't re-releasing Smash Bros. Brawl then (as GameCube controllers are the best controllers for Brawl - end of that discussion)
Despite the Xbox 360 currently being my primary home system, I would personally give up gaming for good if Nintendo gave up on consoles and first-party development.
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais? Wow what a script that would have been?
"Mario Stanley Mario, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court, and it is now my duty to pass sentence. You are an habitual plumber, who rescues princesses as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts her promise of cake in the same casual manner. We therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these occurrences — you will be Bowser's lackey until Luigi Mario wins a house and rescues you."
Just an idea, paraphrasing the opening of the classic sitcom Porridge, but there you go
Looks tempting, but as I'm being made redundant next month I'll have to pass sadly, as I'd need to stretch my redundancy pay a little to cover me for a while.
Just looking at the title reminded me of an episode of Whose Line US where they play a parody of Millionaire. Brad Sherwood does a silly parody of Regis Philbin, and asks the contestant (Ryan Stiles) this question: "In the bedroom, your wife makes you dress up as her favourite Teletubby - it's the tall purple one. Is it... A) Tinky Winky B) Richard Nixon C) Thor, God of Thunder, or D) A jar of almonds?"
Sid: emerges from tent with Bernie Bresslaw and sees Super Bonk Ooh Bernie, get a look that! Bernie: Uhh, look at what, Sid? Sid: That Bonk. That's what'd I'd do to Babs! trademark cackle
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is pretty good, but the downside of that is that most players don't know the Tatsunoko characters, but they know Spider-Man, The X-Men, Daredevil, The Hulk, Iron Man etc. So I'd have to say Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
They appeared on Never Mind the Buzzcocks the other week. They irritated the hell outta me. Even Phill Jupitus said they made Dappy from N-Dubz sound like Stephen Fry!

No multiplayer? Then NO POINT!
Re: Rumour: Official Legend of Zelda Series Timeline Revealed
Add to that, James Rolfe (aka AVGN) says out of the Nerd character, "Don't take it too seriously."
Re: Rumour: Official Legend of Zelda Series Timeline Revealed
Who cares about a timeline? As AVGN says, they're all meant to be enjoyed as individual unconnected stories.
Watch AVGN Episode 40 - Chronologically Confused About Zelda. You'll get the idea

Re: Miyamoto: "Eventually Nintendo Must Survive Without Me"
Apple now have to survive without Steve Jobs. I'm sure Nintendo will survive without Shigeru Miyamoto.

Re: Feature: Fun and Frights on Nintendo - Part 1
Beetlejuice, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street all sucked because they were made by LJN. (and yes, I'm a Nerd fan )
Know what other NES game sucks? Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Is that picture the collection of James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd)?
Re: Inazuma Eleven Finally Makes it to UK Today
It's got as much chance as Xenoblade Chronicles, so get on to Project Rainfall and make some noise!
By the way, I'm one of the lucky ones who got a UK copy back in January.
Re: Let's Create! Pottery on DSiWare This Week
Ditto.
Sorry, couldn't resist another Ghost-related gag.
Re: Wii Owners Encounter Xenoblade Disc Read Errors
No problems yet I'm happy to say

Re: Current Wii Model to be Discontinued

Re: Mario & Sonic London 2012 Trailer is Suitably Rousing
I still hate the London 2012 logo. Looks like Lisa Simpson doing something unwritable!
Re: Talking Point: What If Nintendo Became a Third Party?
No. Not. Never.
Despite the Xbox 360 currently being my primary home system, I would personally give up gaming for good if Nintendo gave up on consoles and first-party development.

@Justaguest What about Capcom with Super Street Fighter IV 3D?

Even though I'm being made redundant this month, I've now decided to pre-order!

Looks tempting, but as I'm being made redundant next month I'll have to pass sadly, as I'd need to stretch my redundancy pay a little to cover me for a while.
Re: New Smash Bros. Announced for Wii U and 3DS
Or indeed after several companies release tons of shovelware. Again.
Re: Frogger 3D Trailer Shows the Frog's Still Alive

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st April 2011 (Europe)
Rival Turf sucked balls. I won't make the same mistake by buying Brawl Brothers.
If you want a great scrolling beat-em-up, get Streets of Rage II.

Ah well, I guess I'll just get it for Xbox 360.
