    Stolen Pixels #216: Pull It Down!

    Forget the size of the Star Destroyer, what about the Star Destroyer's own ability to keep itself in the air? You're dealing with some pretty bigtime engine/repulsor power there. I mean, if a guy can do something like THAT with the force, what the HELL is he doing waving around a flashy...

    Gamers More Likely to Become Nightmare Masters

    I laughed when I saw the title because the suggestion seemed so absolutely ludicrous. Then I realized I can't remember the last time I've ever had a nightmare. It would definitely be before I really got into video games, though.

    Dragon Quest IX Bringing JRPGs Back Outside of Japan

    I'll be honest, not that big on the Dragon Quest series. Tried Dragon Quest 4 and while the story, characters... well, heck, everything about it was fairly interesting. But dear god it must have been the grindiest RPG I've ever played. Kinda turned me off to the series a bit, though I still find...

    Question of the Day, May 13, 2010

    I'm going to have to echo the life-size Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann requests. Come on, Japan! Go beyond the impossible and kick logic to the curb!

    These Are the Actual Pokemon Black & White Starters

    When I saw the silhouettes, I had pretty low opinions of them but thought I might be surprised like I was with Zoroark. But this? The grass thing seriously looks like Treecko and Cyndaquil did the fusion dance (check out the yellow things on the shoulder to boot), the fire one looks ok which is...

    Wii Goes Black and Never Goes Back

    Amazing. Just today I finally purchased the Monster Hunter Tri + Classic Controller Pro bundle with the black controller and thought to myself, "Now if only I could buy the Black Wii to go with it!" Ask and ye shall receive, apparently.

    Poll: The Most Kick-Ass Legendary Pokemon

    There's a disappointing lack of Cthu...err...Giratina on this list.

    Demon's Souls Sales Triple Expectations

    Oh no doubt it cost much more than that to MAKE. Fortunately, Atlus didn't have to worry about making the game. They just localized it. Also, Demon's Souls IS apparently going to be published in Europe. Courtesy of Namco Bandai.

    Nintendo Lets You Walk With Nothing but Pikachu

    Actually, that was only ever mentioned in the anime, which is an entirely separate beast. Not only has Dodrio's supposed jumping ability never been referenced in the games, but in the new Pokethlon (think Pokemon Olympics) Dodrio only has a jump stat of 3/5. Average jumping ability, in other...

    Dare You Take Our Uber Pokemon Champion Quiz?

    Damn. That was a bit hard. Took me over 2 minutes. I blame having to actually read the questions. Still don't actually have Hg/Ss, my pre-orders tend to be slow coming. Not that it actually bothers me any. I'm more interested in seeing what the 5th gen has in store more than playing a remake...

    On Nazis

    Nazis? Yeah, by our math, all nazis are evil. Problem is, you're rarely actually killing nazis in video games, or on the WWII battlefield. You're killing the soldiers out fighting for their country, which happens to be controlled by nazis. On a related note, if I've got my history right here...

    Poll: Catching all 493 Pokemon in 72 hours for charity.

    Honestly, I had my doubts given that they only reached 429/491 (since they could only legally obtain 491/493) last year, but somehow they made it in the nick of time and blew past their donation goal before their marathon was even over. Their Pokemon marathons certainly seem to get attention...

    Nintendo Announces 2010 Releases

    Well, on the Wii side of things, there's only Tatsunoko vs Capcom that really interests me. Anything else I'd have to give a rent to first. Already pre-ordered that anyway. DS...lots of things, as usual. Sands of Destruction, SMT: Strange Journey, Glory of Heracles, Pokemon Soul Silver, and...

    Mysterious Blue Spiral Light Appears in Norwegian Sky

    They don't need to worry. Afterall, why do you think the anti-spirals would be so angry with them in the first place? Answer? This is why: http://www.sfx.co.uk/page/sfx?entry=the_new_union_flag ...That's either one hell of a coincidence or TTGL has taken "belief makes it real" to the next...

    Mysterious Blue Spiral Light Appears in Norwegian Sky

    Glad I'm not the only one who read "mysterious blue spiral light" and immediately thought that. Sky has officially been pierced.
