It's about being CRAZY

Do you smell that? That's the smell of CRAZY in the air. And it was all week

1) It seems Nintendo may be shaking in their boots. They have announced a 3DS attachment that includes a second circular pad. The circle pad comes off of a 3DS port of Monster Hunter 3.

One such rumor seems to have already been confirmed as official just a bit early. Alongside the reveal of Capcom’s Monster Hunter 3G inside the newest issue of Famitsu, is what is being referred to as the 3DS Slide Pad Expansion. It’s literally a cradle of sorts that adds a second analog pad, as well as another right shoulder button, to the system.

Just like any good 3DS news, this accessory has already created quite a stir. The accessory makes the system larger (and a bit less portable), not to mention that it adds something that people either think should have been part of the system’s original design, or isn’t needed at all. There’s also the question of what games the accessory will be compatible with beyond Monster Hunter 3G.


Good 3DS news? We should be slamming Nintendo like we're Fox News. Unfortunately, someone failed at being Fox News over this. I'M TAKING TO YOU, IGN!


The 3DS is capable of handling GameCube era games, yet companies can't take advantage of this because the system is actually incapable of properly replicating the control scheme used ten years ago. That's one of the reasons we're seeing some very limited ports and (partly) why Nintendo would seem to be so fixated on the N64 era. A second analog slider solves this problem.


How dare you state that a 2nd slider solves this problem. The problem itself is suppose to be unsolvable to the point of hopelessness.

2) The announcement of Dragon Quest X has sent shockwaves across Japan. The Stock Market responded with 2 stock drops: SquareEnix, and *Surprisingly* Sony.

Investors have apparently lost faith in Sony's game business following the announcement of Dragon Quest 10 as a Nintendo exclusive on Wii and Wii U.

Couple that with Sony's flagging TV business and you have Sony's lowest share price of 2011. Nikkei also mentioned Sony's "political problems" in Europe, but we're not sure what those are.

Dragon Quest 10 publisher Square Enix has also been negatively affected by the game's announcement, suffering an 11 per cent drop in share price.


It seems the Stock Market has a Liberal Bias by letting Sony get shafted. But by also punishing SquareEnix for allowing Nintendo to take Dragon Quest really was the straw that broke the camel's back, not that we even use camels in the first place. Actually, we tried sprinkling straw on the camel to break its back. No dice.

3) Tea Partiers were welcomed recently to an Anti-Tea Party game involves the player shooting down Tea Party Zombies. Former Fox News Host "Glenn Beck" has this to say about it.

"This is one of the most violent things I’ve ever seen, where you’re walking in, you’re the zombie hunter and you’re walking in the front door of FOX News and you’re shooting me and Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann and Sean Hannity, you’re just shooting all of us or you’re cutting us in half with a machete."

He's got a point. The zombie bug should have bitten some other worthless hack. And I know a few that deserve it: Shigeru Miyamoto, Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aime, Bill Gates, Steve Balmer, Cliff Bleszinski, David Jaffe, Ken Kutaragi, Kaz Hirai, and Steve Jobs. Err, wait. Wrong list.*Tosses list*

4) Speaking of Fox News, they seem to be pointing to Video Games as having more of a Liberal Bias.

What do you think? Is Sim City Societies teaching a Liberal Agenda to gamers? Maybe Mario, Sonic, Kratos and Marcus Fenix are closet liberals.
