I'd say this is surprising, but the GCN had 4 less buttons on it's controller versus the Pro or Classic, and Ninty wants to sell their new controllers.

Cera had hype? I thought they just kept trying to put him in movies and the only who got anytihng after superbad was hill
Watch they make and edited GCN controller with four( five ) shoulder buttons.

Oh man, what if they fixed the fucking shoulder buttons and dpad too. I'd be hype.
Maybe that was just my imagination, never saw most of the movies he was in but people never seemed to shut up about how great he was

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
What a real american hero.
I knew someone who had one. It is for people who are handicapped. But he wasn't. The reason why he bought it was because it allows a faster "trigger finger" for his Cock of Duty.
I honestly made fun of him all the time because he deserves it. Its like parking in a handicapped parking spot at Walmart because you want to walk 15 seconds less.
Michael Cera is an American Hero and a model for all socially awkward kids in the world. I would pay $1000 just to hug him because I know he would make an awkward "Ehh" noise and it would great.
I think that was a sarcastic reaction to micheal cera in movies rather than being hype micheal cera was in movies. Hill was the only one out of the 3 I remember people positively reacting too and the 3rd from super bad while I like him is like the Michelle of their proverbial destiniy's child.

The podcast has given birth to the greatest new piece of Japanese folklore yet. A Santa Claus for modern Osaka.
I speak of the Woolie no Gouki.
Every autumn, as the air becomes cold, a hulking beast walks through the streets and forests of Osaka. He visits every small town, every shrine, every hot spring, terrifying adults as he passes with his mysterious dark skin and long, strange hair. But there is nothing to fear from the Woolie no Gouki.
Woolie no Gouki is friend to all children, and all who give him welcome. He is a man-beast clad in green, bearing a strange geometric shape on his head, above his unusual and twisted hair of many colors. He has metal through his nose, and towers over all the men of Osaka. But he does not come to frighten. He comes to give gifts.
If you come upon the Woolie no Gouki in the forest, or in the streets, and if he seeks meat, do not worry. He does not seek your meat. He seeks beef, to share in the delicacies of your town, and if you aid him he will pay you with a rare, precious elixir made of sap from trees across the ocean, from where he comes. Value this gift, and taste the staple food of his people.
Also, don't worry. He's way too chicken to go to the suicide forest, because that place is fucking creepy.

Eh heh heh. Thank you.
Edit:
Honestly, I know I don't have as much video game knowledge as most of you guys. But movies, music, and tv (not anime that much), is where I live.
I'm not sure which part of that is worse, the fact he bought a handicap controller for better gameplay, or the fact he bought it specifically for Call of Duty of all things.
I get what you're saying, I think it's because everyone I knew never shut the fuck up about Superbad and Juno, which to this day I have still not seen either, I dunno man I just don't like that awkward teenager stuff and Cera is the embodiment of that to me
After this post I will probably stop posting about how much I like Michael Cera.
Maybe
For Scott Pilgrim and Nick and Norah's, I really liked him because he was just that awkward kid who got the girl who was smart, cute, and creative. Thats what I want in life.
Nick and Norah especially because I am the type of guy who spends roughly 2 hours a day just laying in bed listening to music and nothing else besides that. I would love to find someone who would be able to just lay beside me and do that with me.

We are a diverse and multifaceted community. I don't follow anime anymore, and I know next to shit about Persona, some of the other RPGs mentioned, but you'll find your niche.

Memories of Gabe of Penny Arcade feuding with that Ocean Marketting guy just started rushing in to my consciousness when I saw that controller.
A lot of fiction is wish fufillment, breh. Nothing wrong with it.
I always thought anything with Cera was doomed to reek of hipster'ism, while true most of the time, Juno was still an interesting movie despite that. Superbad was basically along the lines of the same kind of ridiculousness as 21 Jump Street, which is great.
Scott Pilgrim was stupid, but I didn't hate it, so there's that.
Basically you want to watch Superbad and ignore every other movie he ever did except for the end of the world one.
I just wish I wasn't so poor and had enough money to buy most of the games you talk about. I grew up as a nintendo exclusive kid. I got a PS2 when I was about 14 and that was just for Jax and Dexter and Star Wars Battlefront.
My first game I ever got was Pokemon Yellow. I found it in a sandbox when I was like 6 and didn't even have a gameboy to play it on.
In Nick and Norah's he was great, but for the character of Scott Pilgrim he wasn't what I wanted, but he still fit the part fine
I'm not sick of him or anything of the sort, I'm just not a huge fan of actors who end up playing the sameish character in every movie, but that's what they do so I'll deal
My dislike of certain movies/media comes from people ramming it in my face instead of making legitimate recommendations

'Course. It's just not terribly convincing for an argument.
If you still have a PS2 most of the games we freak out about are from that system, for like $20.

I legitimately would play Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix on the hardest setting every other day when I was younger to get a work out.
Its like Zumba essentially. You work up a sweat pretty fast.
You seem to forget that we're in here forever, I can't leave even if I wanted to.

DDR is the best fun you can have at an arcade.

Every time Liam brigs up Colosseum I get super happy for no reason. I fucking love that game. Best starter Pokemon ever, freaking level 20 Umbreon and Espeon.
The arcades around here's DDRs are wrecked. I'm shit at it, but I loved playing all the home console DDRs.

I was going to send one in for the Mailbag right before it had to be stopped. That game and its pad were the last game i ever bought for my gamecube and, aside from the twelve hours me and my friends spent with it the first day i had it, it has seen almost no use. Figured if nothin else Woolie myight be able to find someone who could turn the pad into some kind of horribly sadistic smash controller...

I know he said best, why would I put a mediocre light gun game instead of the greatness that is House of the Dead???
Btw. Sad story.
Someone came into my house one day and stole a lot of my favorite games when I was a kid.
They took SSB, Sunshine, Luigi's Haunted Mansion, Two Legend of Zelda Games, and Paper Mario and The Thousand Year Old Door.
However, before I went off to college, I got back most of them by doing shady craiglist deals with people selling them for drug money. One day I opened up a case after buying it and got a contact high from it. Im pretty sure he stored his weed in it.
That was my collection after it got stolen. I dont know if that is all of them in the picture though.

I have an irrational hatred for Time Crisis.
Way back when I was given a PSX and a bunch of games, I was given a Time Crisis game, and I was really in the mood to play a cool shooter, basically I wanted to play Goldeneye, So I load up TC and I start to play, and then I realize you're on a strict time limit, you can't move whenever you want, and the whole game is jumping from shootout to shootout without ever stopping.
I was extremely disheartened by it's arcade nature, I never forgave it for being an arcade game.

Beautiful. Maybe there is still hope for this plan. Just need a guitar controller for the opponent now.

Before I stopped from losing the pad in storage, I was really good at the game. I could play a fair number of songs on the Expert difficulty.
HotD being better than Time Crisis? No way.
Nah. Luigi's Haunted Mansion. There were legitimate flakes of weed in the case.
Which I may or may not have scrounged and used.
Also, the asshole who stole my games decided to leave only the manual for Super Smash Bros. That pissed me off so fucking much you have no idea.

House of the Dead vs Time crisis is irrelevant.
The best light gun game is Virtua Cop anyway.

Nevermind, I thought Virtua Cop was the Light Gun shooter with the motion tracking device, Police 911.
I take back my thumbs up.
How did someone come in and steal your games? Was your house robbed or was it a shitty friend or someone who was let in and took your stuff?

I 100%ed both of these games as a kid.
The only ones we got at my local arcade near where I live (rip local arcade) were Area 51 and Area 51 Site 4.
