    I can't beat this damn train battle in Mario & Luigi: BIS

    Every single time I get to where one more flame attack would win and then hit the bridge at the end. I keep having problems getting excellent on the attack and I can't figure out why

    Does anyone have any tips for this? It seems like you have to be perfect the entire fight. You can't waste a turn on healing and you need to get excellent on every attack.

    edit: never mind, I looked up a FAQ.

    kingdom hearts ds continues to be pretty rad

    I do wish they'd dispense with the emblem collecting and the pseudo stealth crap though

    I BOUGHT THIS GAME TO BEAT THINGS UP NOT SKULK AROUND LIKE SOME KIND OF HALF-ASS VAMPIRE

    I do like that Roxas has about as much idea what's going on as the player does

    one of his diary entries is like "Xenmas showed us a giant heart shaped moon today. He said it was Kingdom Hearts and that the human heart would never control us again. Great... I guess?"

    finally beat that damn train

    Dear Nintendo DS developers,

    Requiring using the microphone is a total dick move. I would have played this game on the plane if it wouldn't have made me look like an asshole.

    Amen to that. They did that with zelda when it came out. You'd be enjoying it on the bus every day to work then bam, your DS is stating "You must shout in public to continue the game, is this awesome? N/N"

    Snapping your fingers never seems to work either, regardless of what that douche says.

    Blowing into the mic worked for me in Zelda since it was a one-time deal and I could pretend I was blowing dust off my screens.

    The train fight though? (which I just got to this very minute, you're kinda freakign me out, Keith) I can't pretend to blow dust off my screen every 30 seconds.

    Does anyone know if there's a case out there that'll hold 20 or so DS games? I have a couple of these little plastic cases that hold 4 games each but I wouldn't mind having something that can hold a larger library.

    Were you deleting god and summoning him again between fights? Because his hp goes down and he dies easier after a fight or two.

    I play a lot of Scribblenauts but at least 90% of my time spent on that game is summoning bears to kill things then frantically trying to trash them before they eat me.

    I can't remember how soon the microphone blowing comes up but I don't think you're likely to get to it in the first two hours.

    90% of the game for me consists of the following items:

    Glue/Tape
    Rope/Chain/leash/wire/etc
    Engineer/Mechanic
    Knight (very good at killing things without killing you)
    Pegasus/Pterodactyl/Flying Car/Helicopter
    Shrink Magic/Shrink Ray
    Large Air Vent
    Aisle/Draw Bridge/Ramp
    Wings/Jet pack

    I think every action stage can be completed with a combination of just these items.

    No, you won't. I think it took me 10 hours?

    But I like to explore

    so I finally beat henry hatsworth

    I was too afraid to actually try the final boss on the first playthrough so I started up another game and beat him on the third try

    kind of easy, now that I think of it

    but gentleman mode doesn't even seem fun

    So I'm messing around in Scribblenauts on the title screen and go to the dinosaur time machine level.

    Running around trying to fight dinosaurs and get fed up. So I summon a meteor.

    It just sits there.

    I drop it on the brontosaurus' head.

    He is unhappy about this predicament.

    I drop it from a high distance in the sky.

    EVERYONE DIES.

    They turned into delicious dino-steaks.

    Unfortunately I was also dead.

    Meteors don't just cook dinosaurs, apparently.

    Unfortunately, dinosaurs + monolith = nothing.

    And the caveman just wanders around it staring at the sky!
