Isn't this the thing with the broken characters because people aren't terribly good at balancing characters against everything ever?
Pretty much. It's still a lot of fun if you don't download the god-characters. It's like an actual Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.

The real question will be what will it market to half a kid.
Dating websites, obviously.
"Find your other half!"

I'll get my coat.

Anyone else messing around with that Exotic Matter they put in with the last release? Seems like the only thing that can reliably hold is Diamond or walls.
I mixed Exotic matter with something else (anti-matter, I think?) and got some weird rainbow effect.

Even if zombies do not exist (for the sake of an argument, let's say we know beyond all reasonable doubt that they do not)...what would your first reaction be if a complete stranger came running at you, growling incoherently with blood dripping from his mouth? That's when the good-old fight-or-flight response kicks in. Dude could be high on all sorts of drugs, or so insane that you can't simply talk to him.

Wait, he got those legally? I always heard he dug them up in the dead of night to avoid being punished. Perhaps that was someone else.

Mentioning Nazi experimentation directly after a post discussing a hot topic such as stem cells...probably not the best timing, perhaps.

It's got a good amount of humor as well. I know I chuckled a few times while watching.

Weird shit, huh? Some of our medical knowledge comes from less than noble sources. Nazi experiments and unit 731 for example.
Godwin! You lose!

You want weird medical knowledge without bringing up Nazis? Look at Leonardo Da Vinci, who supposedly dug up freshly buried corpses (illegally, I might add) so he could study how they work.

Umbilical cord blood, from the sound of it. Not sure though.

Does Nintendo still try to keep everything on their consoles G-rated?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: No, and I don't think they ever have.
Ultimate version: Madworld. No More Heroes. Turok. Shadowrun. Red Steel. Conker's Bad Fur Day. 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. I could go on.

On topic...this looks interesting, though I question how well it will work. Even with a vibrating function built into the controller, it won't have the same impact of a real swordfight. Still, watching this.

Before the N64 Nintendo were really restrictive about what was allowed on their consoles, and weren't shy about requiring games to be edited so they were family friendly.

Also it says what controller they're thinking of using on the kickstarter page. The "Razer Hydra controller." Whatever that is.
Shadowrun was a Super Nintendo game. Despite not having blood, there were lots of guns and violence, with a bit of implied sexual content.

Anyway, a Razer Hydra is basically a Wiimote for PC. There was a promotion on Steam for it a while back, basically it allowed you to play Portal 2 with motion control.

Thing is, if it were that easy we'd have one by now. In any case, vaccines don't cure disease, they help prevent it. That's why there's no real point in getting the flu shot if you already have the flu.

You mean that vaccine we have to redevelop every year or so?

Can someone explain exactly why this image turns my brain to mush?
Clearly it's a symbol of Tzeentch. Now this entire world will have to be purged just in case. Thanks a lot.

Nonononono. This is obviously the work of Sheogorath. The crazy bastard probably went on an artistic streak.
That's just what Tzeentch wants you to think!

If all instances of the letter N are replaced by the letters GN, I will be very interested.

Which makes no sense unless the zombie agent is an antibacterial substance, capable of breaking down cell walls or somesuch.


Not to mention rotting being impossible without microbes. Proteins might denature over time but wouldn't produce green skin/etc.
I believe that the ZSG states that Solanum is aggressive towards other microbial life, and ZSG Zombies don't rot. They last until the brain is destroyed or they are physically compromised by the elements.
Actually, in the ZSG it states that a very few species of microbes will in fact feed on a zombie. They still decompose...just much, much slower than a normal body
