    Sounds like he just has bad geometry. Most CRTs do. He probably doesn't notice in most cases because most movies games and TV shows don't have straight lines running everywhere.

    no guys, its cancer

    Red Steel? I did not play Red Steel. Why the fuck would I do that? If you're implying that this somehow invalidates the footage of it being buggy and shitty in Gamespot's video review, along with people I know telling me that it's bad and shitty, then...um...then you are very dumb and very bad at debating.

    While we're here, I'm also going to suggest hitting yourself in the nuts with a claw hammer. The claw end, specifically. If you suggest that this is a bad idea, I will point out that you haven't actually tried purposely claw-hammering your testicles before. This gets around the "you haven't played it so you can't know anything about it" argument by pointing out that some things can be figured out fairly reliably by inference and extrapolation based on previous experience. You KNOW that the hammer idea is bad because you have enough experience with hammers, testicles, and pain to know what's gonna happen without needing to feel it for yourself.

    your on to something here, but I guess there is no resolution, it makes me sad. it also appears as though the top corners bend in slightly. I don't know whether to blame my wii or my tv, probably tv

    So you have enough experience with Wii, Wii FPSes and the like to know how its going to play? I mean, experience as in hands on terms, not being told.


    regardless, I dont understand why you would step in and try and stop a guy from wanting to play a game hes wanted to play for a few months. let him try and learn himself. after all, its not like he's wasting your time or money by doing so.

    I do have first-hand experience with the Wii, just not with Red Steel. I also have plenty of FPS experience, both PC and console, although mainly PC, in part because I believe the mouse/keyboard combo is better than gamepads. And I'm not a big fan of lightguns, as cool as they are in theory.

    I wouldn't say that first-hand experience playing Red Steel would be a bad thing, but I don't think it's especially needed in this case either, especially in light of the mountain of damning evidence against it.

    Why would I do this? To save him from wasting his time and money because I care. The decrease in economic reward for Red Steel is not even much of a factor, but I guess it would be a nice side benefit.

    honestly, the control scheme grows on you. I wish I could play all FPSes this way. I don't know if it's just really well done, or if maybe I am missing out on something by passing on Far Cry Vengeance and Red Steel

    I think it's just something I'll have to get used too, as I more or less felt the same way about Red Steel. At the time that was the only game I really had left to play after finishing TP, so I forced myself to get used too it. Now I've got other games to turn to when CoD3 got annoying.

    Except you get a bunch of good games coming out in the next few months.

    If you had a DS since the launch of it I think you'd understand.
