Man that was a long time ago and it still works its way into gaming nerds vocabulary. Who would have thought the announcement of a huge announcement that ended up dissappointing would make such an impact.

lawl. On second thought I looked back at the comments in question and at least one of the people seems to be someone from the forum I was around when the megaton happened. It might just be something used by anyone who actually hung around those forums. And thus you really wouldn't know what I was talking about.

Sorry, Moongoddess, I'm sure you understand totally whatever it is you're talking about due to some freak coincidence where people rarely ever say megaton around you, but I'm pretty sure I've heard it in numerous cases(not THAT frequent, but still not rare enough to pin down to one event), so I have no idea what particular event you're referring to.

FFXIII????

Are you on some drugs that we should know about?




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy
