I'm trying to get the SSE ones at the moment. I put stickers on my characters, but found out they don't stack so I can only get a +30 trophy stand drop bonus. I don't have any bosses yet, and I'm missing quite a few normal enemies as well. Full list of what I need:

Sword Primid- Midair Stadium
Big Primid- The Canyon
Metal Primid- The Ruins
Glire- The Cave
Glice- The Glacial Peak
Poppant- The Sea of Clouds
Bytan- The Ruined Zoo
Greap- Skyworld
Bucculus- The Lake
Auroros- The Lake
Buckot- The Ruined Zoo
Gamyga- The Path to the Ruins
Trowlon- The Forest
Spaak- Midair Stadium
Shaydas- The Lake Shore
Shellpod- The Forest
Shellpod No Armor- The Forest
Nagagog- The Path to the Ruins
Cymul- Skyworld
Ticken- The Plain
Borboras- The Lake
Autolance- The Ruins
Armank- The Wilds (West)
Mizzo- Battleship Halberd Interior
R.O.B. Blaster- Outside the Ancient Ruins

Koopa Troopa (Green)- The Jungle
Koopa Paratroopa (Green)- The Jungle
Koopa Paratroopa (Red)- The Jungle
Giant Goomba- The Jungle

Ridley- The Research Facility (East)
Porky- The Ruined Zoo
Meta Ridley- The Subspace Bomb Factory (Bottom one)
Galleom- The Ruined Hall
Duon- Battleship Halberd Bridge
Tabuu- The Great Maze
Rayquaza- The Lake
Petey Piranha- Midair Stadium


Going to try to update this list. Anyone know of some levels where I can knock off like 5 of these guys at once? Going to go through the Jungle levels to finish off the Mario enemies right now, but the other ones are scattered all over the place.

Don't ask me why, I don't know. Playing through it, I realized my skills in SSB has diminished big time. At certain points, I would just jump right into a bottomless pit and forget to double jump out of it.

I also realized how many things I've actually missed in Brawl. Being a collection freak, this just won't do. So not only am I going through SSE again (again, don't know why), but I'm also trying to collect all trophies, stickers, and other collectables. Wish me luck!

Bryan had a couple of instances where he kept trying to cash in the briefcase on Mark Henry, but hilariously failing and running off. Henry finally had a match for the title with Big Show. Show KOed him, won the title. Henry got back up and beat Big Show silly. Bryan ran down, cashed in on Big Show, new champ

Didn't he say he wouldn't do that though? Did he turn heel by doing it, or was it just another 3MR?

How the hell did Danielson get the title? I know he had the briefcase, but he was the biggest jobber on Smackdown when I stopped watching it.

Is Sheamus popular enough for a WM main-event match? Where's Rey Mysterio? Has The Rock made any more appearances? What are some of the high profile feuds heading into Wrestlemania?

Atheism is all about how a deity cannot exist and anyone who believes so is a pitiable soul wasting their life believing in giant bearded wizards or some crap. It's far more venomous towards religious groups because they don't believe what they believe and they feel constantly oppressed by the religious imagery being shoved down their throats.

That sounds like a pretty biased view on atheism to me.

Since I am overly negative of Nintendo, here's what I'm reading:


Wii U:

User accounts: Wii U will have individual user accounts, rather than one system-wide account.


While other companies are innovating, Nintendo is once again playing catch up. Needed, but nothing to be happy about.

Online: Miyamoto: "Network has to have a totally new concept to be different."

Means absolutely nothing. You can say whatever you want, show us what it is you're doing. Nintendo can not do online gaming, and until they prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they have a concept that works, I'm not going to believe a word they say.


3DS:

Nintendo first-party DLC: Nintendo considering DLC for their own software, mentions "Super Mario" as an example:
"If a Super Mario user gets tired, we can then sell digital extras which will drive extra revenue, encourage higher communication amongst users, and possible increased satisfaction and hardware install bases."


Again playing catch up.

60% of 3DS users have connected to the Internet; wants to expand digital offering, but at "infant stage" now.
Iwata: "Nintendo's priority is to satisfy existing 3DS users, as well as to prepare titles that will expand the user base combined with network."


"Infant stage" can be used to describe a lot of things Nintendo. Throwing that term out for their online infrastructure is being very generous.

General:

Third parties: Several new, previously unconsidered alliances/partnerships with third parties.


Hear this every E3, nothing ever changes. Just because they say Square Enix will create games for them doesn't mean you'll get any good games (Mario Basketball, remember that?).

Retail title downloads: 3DS and Wii U both support digital download of retail titles, but... they still aren't quite sure how to implement it just yet.

Good news! DD is the way to go for the future, and Nintendo is stepping up to the plate.

Item billing: "We should not decline third parties if they want to offer item billing" (paying to unlock content).
DLC: Still planning to offer DLC (possibly talking about their own software), but needs more time to complete its feasibility study on the market and its needs.


Study? How about studying gamers on the 360/PS3 and how many DLC has been bought for those consoles?

More sharing: "Digital will include user to user communications and sharing" (More social networking integration? More Swapnote-like apps? More emphasis on Streetpass/Spotpass?).

Friends please. If you can have a simple friends list like in XBL then you'd be set for life.

Better-paced software + DLC: Nintendo has learnt that it shouldn't have stagnant periods between software launches: can fill the gap, and DLC can extend the life of a title.

Uh huh. Same deal with third parties in this one. Prove it or keep quiet.

This will be Nintendo's worst financial year, but Iwata thinks the company can reach break-even on 3DS hardware in Q3 of this year.

As it should be. I'm predicting Nintendo is going to need a few more of these types of years before fixing their problems.

Miyamoto still around, Iwata angry at Wired. "Miyamoto is saying his basic work is to create a big hit."

Miyamoto's ideas are so far away from what gamers want that it doesn't even matter what he's trying to do. Miyamoto should be in charge of Wii Sports types games since that is the only type of games he's interested in making, and the rest of Nintendo should focus on real games.

There's no way for them to recoup it when someone buys a used game, when a publisher takes money instead of the original artist, when a remake gets made etc. What makes piracy different then?

I never said that any of that is right. I said used games are ok as long as the original developers get some of the profits.

As for the other two, are you talking about music? I'm pretty sure the original artist gets paid in some way (or allows for free) if their song is remade.

HOWEVER - it's not necessarily morally wrong, as the actual artists get more exposure and thus for example tour profits go up, which is a more lucrative industry for musicians. I don't give a s*** about the RIAA, the agency who really gets hurt by piracy, so I happily steal all my music.

There's a reason actual musicians give about one-hundredth of the s*** about piracy than the RIAA does.


Pirating music and pirating games are different beasts. While both are technically wrong, musicians have many ways of getting cash flow that video game developers do not. If musicians are fine with their songs getting pirated, as they should for the reasons you provided, then there's no problems with it.

Looks like I need to choose my words more wisely next time as obviously you're going to take every word and skew it to make me look dumb.

We're talking about pirating people, try to stay on topic. If people pirated my game, I'd be pissed.

What about people that don't get it for free? What about people that buy a 1-month old game used from Gamestop?

That's another argument that I don't really want to get into. Short story, the sooner Gamestop is run out of business the better.

As for the used game markets, I think there should be a way for the original game companies to receive profits from it. Even if it's say 15% of the reduced price, that would probably be reasonable enough for most of them. Then again, I don't know if this is already in place or not because I never buy used games nor do I intend to.

And I don't know anything about American politics so if you keep referring me to that guy might as well tell me why.

Nobody really cares about another man's profit. The American people want stuff at the best price...if it's free, so be it. You can rationalize things all you would like, but that is the evolved mind of a capitalist society.

"If it's free, it's for me."


I realize this is the reality of things. The people saying "I intend on buying it after I pirate it, and most people out there would do the same" are the delusional ones.

You're not even making any sense.

Crysis 2 has been pirated 4 million times. How much money has EA lost from those pirated copies? Is it exactly $60*4 million? Is it more? Is it less? A simple one-word answer will suffice.


If I make a game, I don't want anyone getting it for free. Everyone who does get it for free is stealing profits from me.

No, it won't be exactly 4 million extra sales. Don't be naive. The fact that you're still arguing over that point is ridiculous by the way. I already told you it depends on who's perspective you look at it.

How about you answer me this: If you were never interested in a game, why would you pirate it? If you wanted to try a game before buying it, why don't you get the demo or read reviews? Do you really believe that most pirates out there are just "trying a game out" and they really intend on buying it at a later date?

So which do you really believe? That a pirated copy is a lost sale, or it's a potentially lost sale?

I entirely agree that it's a potentially lost sale, and if you analyze what actually piracy actually means for games in practice, you will realize that this is what makes all the difference.


My stance is that if people want to play a game, they pay for it. They should not be using stupid excuses like "I'm not interested in this game so I'll pirate it instead" and try to act all in-the-right about it. If they pirate a game, that is one sale that could or could not have happened gone. So it depends on how you look at it. If you think that everyone who plays your game should pay for it, then it's lost sales. If you believe that people who aren't interested in games are entitled to play them for free, then it's potentially lost sales.

instead of trying to end piracy with invasive laws, companies should be focusing on tapping into the digital distribution market. when you provide people a legal alternative to piracy at a reasonable price, I think a lot of people would be willing to go with that option. most people are intelligent enough to know that it's a good thing to support the products that you enjoy, because that means you will be seeing more of that product or products similar to it. if there's no convenient, legal way to obtain what you want or the benefits of piracy are so massive as to make purchasing the bad option, that's where the problem stems from. look at the success of Valve (for PC games) or sites like crunchyroll (that legally stream anime which before there was no way to view except through piracy). hulu and Netflix are also good examples on how to stop people from pirating TV and movies.

Agreed, but if there isn't any way to completely get rid of pirating, a lot of people will continue to do so. Sadly, that will never happen, but getting rid of the big pirating sites is a good start.

So you're saying that if piracy didn't exist, Crysis 2 would have sold 4 mil more copies, SMG2 1.3 mil more, etc.?

If you really believe this, then let me know so that I can make a mental note to never pay attention to anything you say again.


Nope. What I'm saying it's potentially a lost sale. Not all of them would go out and buy it, but I can guarantee a big percentage would if there wasn't a way to get it for free.

The argument isn't whether the person has a right to play the game, it's whether they would've bought it under any circumstances. That's what a lost sale is. If the customer would've pirated it or not bought it, it's not a lost sale. It's only a lost sale if someone who was willing to pay pirates it instead.

And who is to decide what they would not have bought? It can't be that they aren't interested in the game, because just by pirating it proves that they are. It can't be because of lack of cash because games go on sale all the time, for really cheap too.

It's such a stupid argument that you're throwing out there. I mean, at least the cheap-asses have an excuse if they miss out on the big sale. Saying you're not interested in playing a game then going out and pirating it is such backwards logic that it hurts my brain trying to understand it.

There are exceptions to everything. Pirating games that are not sold anymore is one thing, but pirating games that are available in stores is stealing, even if you didn't want the game in the first place (which is such a sad excuse most people use because they wouldn't be playing it in the first place if they didn't want it).

A lot of people pirate, and buy later if they enjoy what they downloaded. I'm one of them.

Keep dreaming. Most people pirate because it's free. They don't go and pay for something later.


Why is this relevant?

Pirated copies aren't lost sales.


Yes they are. Playing the game without paying for it is a lost sale, no matter which way you try to spin it. The only people playing the game should be people who bought it. Of course, this changes for offline multiplayer games (splitscreen or whatever the term is), in which case only one person needs to buy it.

Oh and piracy isn't theft. There's this huge misconception that pirated copies of anything equal lost sales, which isn't remotely true because almost everyone pirating anything was never going to buy the entity in question in the first place.

Makes no sense. They stole the game. If they weren't going to buy it, they wouldn't have it. The fact that they did pirate it shows that they were interested in it.

It will never end voluntarily. People will never change their ways of thinking that stealing games is ok.

Fable 3: Bought my 9 year old cousin that Xbox bundle with Halo and Fable, but I took both games from it (he just wanted a Kinect). No interest at all in Halo, but I did sort of enjoy Fable 2 so I'm considering trying this out.

Darksiders: Had a $20 gift card for Futureshop that I used on this game. Heard it was an adult Zelda game, which sounds really good to me.

Another game: Still have a $25 gift card for Best Buy that I dug out of my bedroom closet the other day. Was going to spend it on a game cheap game until I grabbed one at FS. Might put the cash towards NHL 12, or keep it for a new game coming out soon.
