Disagreeing, and noting some incorrect stuff here.
Here's where I agree with you to some extent - yes, older multiplayer Nintendo stuff required each person to participate (take Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for example). That sucked pretty royally, admittedly. But that was about the only thing I agree with. Of course, you are allowed your opinions, but I'd like to argue some of mine along side it.
For starters, I personally believe that Nintendo is doing everything RIGHT by NOT including voice chat in most of their online gameplay. I mean, you go into Halo or Team Fortress 2, and you know what you hear all day? Some bratty 13-year-old child saying, "GAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAY" over and over again in your ear, listening to sore losers cry about, "STOP SNIPING ME YOU CHEAP FAG!" (even though sniping was obviously built into the game and therefor is completely within game law, physics, and rules). MOST players I've had the sorrow of listening to online completely do not use their brains. Granted, it would be incorrect of me to say that everyone was that mindless, but my God, the sheer volume of stupid floating around on Xbox Live is completely mindboggling.
Now, with Wii Speak, you don't actually think they'll only be utilizing it for Animal Crossing, do you? This is just a great way to deploy it. And i love the idea of it. i love that it's a speaker, getting the whole room involved. You know what else this prevents? It prevents little kids from more easily being allowed to yell "GAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAYGAY" into a microphone that's going to be broadcast into somebody's home. And I LIKE that. More moms are going to be listening. Freaking get parents involved in gaming! Have kids learn some public manners!
Error code 85010 is more than just Connection Lost. This means that the servers are full. At first though, you would think that this would be something incredibly terrible, but this is not the case. This means that these games are SO popular and SO loaded with fresh players that there just isn't room for all of us (just look at the Wii's sales and this would be obvious). And this only happens in two of the most popular WiFi effected games - Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. And it's not frequent enough to make me want to give up. With these two paragraphs it appeared as though you were looking to pick apart at something.
Brawl - It's not Melee, get over it. Seriously, if someone wants to play Melee, they should go play Melee. While this is in the same game title series as its previous installments, it is not the same game, just as each Final Fantasy is a little different from the games before it.
Also, you are incorrect about the 60 - 0 countdown. It does not actually force you to wait 60 seconds. Rather, the room waits for all players to complete, and for everyone to end up in the sandbag room. Then the game begins.
Okay, that's about it. Again, don't take this as me getting down on you directly, and you are allowed your opinion. However, I just wanted to make my mention that I do not agree with it.
Honostly I don't want a chick reviewing stuff, it's gonna suck, believe me, I enjoy the critic and I think he has to do those reviews, it's going to be funnier. Besides, who listens to women these days? smilies/sad.gif
HAHAHAHA! Oh, WOW! Flame time!
If you don't like it, don't watch it. EASY!
I gotta love the fact you dragged out the Last Unicorn, which was one of those crazy cult things that you just wouldn't you know about it. I actually am not so bothered about the length, though it did drag a little in the mid-part, but I think parts of it were a bit rough. It kind of feels like you were sort of finding an equilibrium at the beginning, and as a result things felt a little forced. I have to admit, at first I kind of dismissed it as sort of a 'Channeling Nostalgia critic' but you managed to turn it around a little bit. With that said, and I don't mean to be offensive, I wonder if maybe the sort of loud, rant/rave Critic-inspired tirades are as good a fit for you. I loved the writing at the end of the rant but something about it felt kind of... I dunno, off to me? (Admittedly, I'm raising the bar a little high), so either finding your own voice in the whole thing, or at the very least learning to have a little fun with it (seemed a little restrained) might be a good idea.
I'm not trying to make you sound like a failure though. I died laughing at the April o' Neal reference, and your analysis of the movie was bloody spot on. It was pretty heavy for kid's stuff.
Not that.. I, ya know.. watched it. 'cuz.. I'm uh.. manly and do.. manly things... Like... Hey, how abouts those uh.. sports teams?
Thank you so much for the input!
I do think that there are probably too many loud rant/rave critics popping up around the Internet. I chose what I thought most fit the position though, since he's specifically looking for the "Nostalgia Chick" to fit alongside the "Nostalgia Critic", so that's my defense. I think if I were to find the open opportunity to review some more I could come to grips with a persona that is truly more fitting to myself. This sure is a fun opening, though!
I really appreciate any input given. If I were to make it, I'd love to mold around critiques to be the best I can be!
I really liked it. It was pretty funny but there was one thing that kind of bothered me. At times it sounded like you were trying to tone down the anger while still trying to sound angry... Maybe it's just me, I don't know.
But bottom line, it was bloody good. Good luck with the contest.
Honestly, this is something I was displeased with when I was presenting this stuff. I actually feel like I wasn't trying to tone it down, but rather that my face just didn't ever give off what my voice was saying. Now that I see what I did, I think I can avoid this mistake in the future.
I think showing anger isn't your strong point and needs some work to make it feel more genuine and less forced. And your right, 17 minutes is slightly too long for me to watch a vid about a film ive never seen.
That's the criticism out the way I personally rate this the best from the entries ive seen, really well done. I think you're definitly a strong contender. If i get the opportunity to vote then i think you safely have it.
Good luck
I agree, I think my face doesn't fit the emotion in my voice. D:
whats funny is i never wrote
My name is john and i hate every single one of you.
I spam the IRC Chat i cannot be stopped I cannot be banned you guys think im 5 people but im really only one. Ive held chat hostage and demanded lots of things which makes me a permanent bad ass but so far ive gotten none and I will keep spamming until the day i get what i deserve.
-Admin edit. Man you're so fucking 1337 with your ip changing. I'm really soooo scared of you. Did you just get your first computer or some shit? I'm just going to keep banning you, as it only takes a second. Wow you have me scarred!!!!!!! I'll give you anything you want! Fucking loser, get a life!
OK, dude, go back to /b/, bring your personal army, and then we'll laugh when we bring the 4chan Party Van down on you.
So, the Nostalgia Critic is having this contest and he is looking for the Nostalgia Chick. I made an entry. I'm not too thrilled with it because, he...
