Entire Twilight Princess script available for viewing pleasure
I enjoyed Twilight Princess. I really did. After a slow start, it drew me in, and then I fell for that quirky Midna and it was game over for me. But something is still missing. I wish I had the entire unabridged script printed out in Courier font. In my web browser. But wait, what’s this? Revel in the unforgettable lines of Fado (FADO: WHOOOOOOOAAA! A GOAT GOT LOOSE! IT’SHEADIN’ ...

Wii Weather Channel: Yet another porn gateway
From GameSetWatch: Japanmanship has a really fun post about the Wii weather channel, most specifically: “There is an island in the Pacific, south of Port Vila, called Erromango; it’s the southern-most province of Vanuatu and formerly known as Martyr’s.” But the odd translation has it as “Ero-manga island”, and: “For the benefit of those who don’t spe...

More from the Perrin Kaplan show
Perrin Kaplan needs her own sitcom. Or comic strip. Or something. At DICE this week, Kaplan did as Kaplan does and tossed out a few verbal gems to the gaming community. Kaplan says of the two system launches in November: “Well, we didn’t have anyone in line that got shot waiting for our system. So there’s one sign of the different approaches between our two companies … I th...
Wii Sunday in America – my neighbor gets his
Just before 10AM this morning a knock sounded at my door. The coffee pot was still brewing so I wasn’t totally awake. Checking to make sure I was wearing appropriate attire, I answered the door. It was my downstairs neighbor. “David! I got a Wii this morning!” He went to a nearby Target store at 7AM and got one of 70 units they had in stock today. The smile on his face was ear to...
Twilight Princess sells 1 million
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess has SOLD 1 million copies to date. This is just the Wii version, and it’s units SOLD. I repeat, that’s units SOLD, not SHIPPED. Real game companies SELL product, while the rest SHIP them to store shelves to camp out. They then issue press releases telling us how great it is to ship products that never actually make it into the hands of customers. ...
Sonic’s future is on rails
A quick confession: I don’t think I’ve played a Sonic title since the days of Game Gear. Well, strike that, I asked for Sonic Rush for Christmas in 2005, played it once and never progressed past the first stage. Some may think that’s a act of gross negligence (Sonic is a gaming icon, right?), but I see it as a silver lining of sorts — by not playing Sonic for so long, I mis...
