I has penis. We tend to go through a phase or two when we can't stomach that. It didn't help that pretty much everything Disney put out between the last 90's and early 2000's was garbage. IT started with Pocahantas and continued through probably until Pixar took over.

And Atlantis. That and The Emperors New Groove were both really fucking good.

Remember the Titans was a good Disney movie.

Right, I get them mixed up a fair amount. Shouldn't have since Queen of blades Kerrigan was fighting someone I don't recognize.

Ghost. May it rest in peace.

So what do you play shoeless princess?

I'm still pissed blizzard pulled the plug on that. The game was like 98 percent done. Maybe this is why I hate warcraft with the burning passion of 1000 suns

 

[AllyRose]

And the Princess Diaries.

I still believe I'm in the wrong family and that I have a castle somewhere.

The football movie? It may very well have been, when I think Disney I'm mostly talking about their cartoons and kids movies though. I have a hard time really wrapping my head around the ieda that they own Marvel and Star Wars cus well Star Wars kinda fits but Marvel? I wonder what they'll do when Wesley Snipes is back out cus even after the disaster that was Trinity I could get behind a new Blade Movie.

Especially if the movie opens with something like this.

Belle: Is that. . .glitter?
Eddie: Yes, and I play baseball in thunderstorms so nobody hears the thunder of my-
Blade: Fuck that! Decapitations. Belle go tell everybody a real vampire is . . .you know what Decapitation! She'd have just fucked it up anyway.

You need to watch The Real Housewives of Disney.

My favorite princess was Ariel, but the gf has really got me liking the Frog Princess- but not the princess, the voodoo guy. That "Friends on the Other Side" song was the most badass Disney thing that I'd seen in a long time. I like my villains either transforming Hyenas into the third Reich, turning merfolk into weird ass seaweed things, or bartering with the afterlife. Plus, I'm 90% sure Tiana coulda gotta that loan just by taking the saxophone playing gator with her for collateral. 1920s racism be damned, it's a goddamn musical gator. People will pay good money to see that. Bitch don't even have lips. That's some amazing shit.

 

[CandiCame]

Jesus Christ I forgot Disney owned Marvel. Fucking KH3 is going to be so badass.

I'd be shocked to see any Marvel or Star Wars stuff in Kingdom Hearts if for no other reason than Square not wanting to get fucked like Capcom did a few years back.

I highly doubt that game was anywhere near close to "done" they first announced that game in the early 2000s and had restarted it twice. That game was probably like Duke Nukem 4ever and we should be glad someone killed it.

Besides Warcraft has been dead nearly as long.

Hopefully sooner or later they'll revisit that right after they do a fund raiser called Rock n Roll Racing and Lost Vikings.

No they killed it about the time wow got big. They had gameplay demos and everything

Has it been that long? It feels like Starcraft Ghost was one of the great on again of again projects of all time.

Regardless I don't consider WoW Warcraft, I have an easier time accepting Starcraft as Warcraft than WoW.

Ya. It did go though a few different developers or producers or some shit. I don't think it was ever really srcapped and restarted. There were a shitload of trailers.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Yeah there were a fuck tun of of trailers. I just feel like I first saw it as something around the time of the PS2 generation and last heard it was officially scrapped only a few years back but I'll admit it had fallen off my list of things I was looking at for a while.

Its amazing how many games get canned when they're almost finished. Lucas Arts apparently did it routinely which is regarded as a contributing factor for their demise.

Ya that's why I really don't reserve stuff anymore. I loose intrest. I still havent played heart of the swarm yet because my computer barely handled starcraft 2

Ya that'll kill a company

 

[Sean Renaud]

I never really bothered reserving anything. Though I can only imagine how awesome it must have been to turn in your pre-order of Duke Nukem 4ever. That alone must have been awesome.

Blizzard has a habit of not releasing shit until it's ready, that's just how they role. How long was Diablo III waiting in the wings? I don't even pay attention to those guys anymore to be honest, I mean I love almost everything they put out but I don't believe in it until I'm playing it. It just seems safer that way.

Also if the rest of Half-Life doesn't come out in the next 18 months I'm burning Valve HQ to the ground and stealing the code for Left 4 Dead.

I can't believe they just left us hanging like that.

 

[AllyRose]

I'm all for gaming companies taking their time with a project... so long as there's a good reason for it. I'd rather have a good game than something half-assed.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I'm fine with them taking their time as well, I have two caveats to that.

1. Don't tell me about something that's more than two years away. Just don't. Final Fantasy XIII vs and Kingdom Hearts III both fall under that WTF level.

2. Don't release two part games until the next part is mostly complete. I'm mostly talking about Half-Life Episodes here. It's just fucking rude. I'm not even really a fan of that with movies but at least with movies you're all but gauranteed that Harry Potter 8 Part II will come out.

Eh, I don't mind the first one so much, but I agree with your second condition.

No grenades!

 

[Sean Renaud]

I could forgive the first to some degree. I think it's nuts that Kingdom Hearts II had a teaser for III on the end and III is gonna be on the PS4. That just hurts. I'd much rather it be like Street Fighter where when they announced 4 one million fan boys rejoiced in unison. We weren't waiting for this, we just saw it and we rejoiced.

Same way if Warcraft 4 happens. We weren't sitting around wondering when we could go back to Azeroth the proper way again, we figured that shit was passed with WoW but I promise you the horde needs me and we shall fight when the time comes!

Gaming companies love that though. I knew of the tomb raider reboot a year in advance. Last of us as well. Both were amazing.

On the other hand Ill read about them in game informer and a month later forget. Then I see the cut out for em at game stop and go oh ya...

Yeah, what happened with that, tho? We got the TR reboot, it was epic, and then... nothing.

BTW, I thought that we had collectively decided as a subculture to let DUke bow out gracefully. Let's stop bringing up 4ever.

I played the demo for duke. I thought it was awesomely cheesy. I wouldnt pay full price though. Ill get it from the bargin bin

 

[CandiCame]

That was the 90s-est thing I've seen... since the 90s. You expect the goddamn Spice Girls to sing the theme for it.
