Go to Hot Topics and then press My topics. Ounce there press on last post. This should bring up a list of threads which havn't been active for a while. Most probaly your first thread post is in one of these threads. You should be able to remeber it.

Yeah, it won't go back that far

this is the first that shows up but it's from a year after I joined... (Back when I was so far up Nintendo's butt, I couldn't see) 

 

Since the O.P feels the need to compare Gran Tursimo to Forza can I compare Gran Turismo to Mario Kart? I want to have fun comparing too!...

Made an account just to post in this thread, hello everyone :)

I remember reading back in the PS1 era, Sony saying they "didn't want a mascot" for the Playstation. I think it was to do with the fact that their rivals at the time, Nintendo and Sega, were both led by platforming characters - Mario and Sonic respectively. Eventually they ended up with a ton of 'unofficial' mascots - Lara Croft, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro etc, so I guess it didn't quite work out how they'd planned.

Anyway, they've kind of continued this attitude ever since, in my opinion - which is why I was so surprised that now of all times they decided to make a mascot-based multiplayer game.

They probably wouldn't have carried any of their platforming 'mascots' over into this generation given the choice, at least that's how I see it. Insomniac (third party) made the new Ratchet games and Jak and Sly haven't seen any new releases this gen - the new Sly was a response to the positive reaction of the HD collection.

They're different from Nintendo in that they're more than happy to ditch mascots in favour of creating new ones for each generation (Crash -> Jak -> Drake, for example) while holding on to them very occasionally (Kratos from God of War, I suppose Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal as well), but maybe we're seeing a shift from that mindset with the new Sly game on the horizon. I'd be quite interested to see how Sackboy goes into the next generation - he's a very versatile character to have as he can literally be anything they want him to be, which is going to work well for them.

Anyway, I've waffled a bit but hopefully I got a few points across :)

Back when I used to have the time to make long posts.

Its sold not shipped I've been viewing this site for a while and I see people here saying shipped with nintendo. I have never seen them say shipped in their reports because its always been sold. Even when sales are terrible they give all info and don't hide behind shipped or combining consoles and handheld sales. Yes .82 Mill sold in 1 month.

I am a nintendo fan who follows their info very closely and I have not seen the word shipped in any of their reports. 6.68 mil at the end of June.. I wish I could add 1 to that but I can't afford annything right now... Heck I spent food Money on Pokemon X :(

Pretty much still stand by it, though I haven't revisited it lately - which I should (along with M&M VI and VII).

I can only go until January 2011. What a shame.

"I wouldn't be surprised if they announced an Xbox equivalent of the streaming feature the PS4 is set to have. Though hopefully they enlist TwitchTV for this and not ustream... I honestly can't understand Sony's logic in not partnering up with the dedicated gaming stream service (which might I add is actually a more popular streaming site than ustream in visiting numbers). Though perhaps they tried and failed during negotiations?"

In the end they did announce an Xbox equivalent, and it was for TwitchTV! Fortunately Sony realized the benefit of using twitch too.

Wasn't it this one?

"He'd probably own his own planet or something. :p

Seriously, though, from when I was little I was always disappointed that there was never an animated series. But I totally respect him for wanting to maintain the spirit of the series rather than whoring the ever living hell out of it."

This was in response to a 2012 thread about how loaded Bill Watterson would've been had he gone full bore with animated adaptations and merchandising with Calvin and Hobbes. My opinion hasn't changed.

Thread was about the first Xbox vs N64. And I still do play the N64
MoHasanie on 05 December 2012

I owned both, but easily, N64 was better. I only played Halo on my xbox and a couple other games, but N64 had so many awesome games - Mario Kart, Super Mario, Smash Bros, Paper Mario, Diddy Kong Racing etc. Sometimes, I still play N64 and it works perfectly despite it being 14 years old.

Same thing as everyone else can't go before 2011. I think it was about how I liked all consoles though (PS3, 360, Wii, PS, and DS.) But I'm not certain, it was January 2008.
