Nintendo's Luigi-centric remake of New Super Marios Bros. is hitting the Wii U in two varieties this summer. Owners of the original game can download New Super Luigi U for $19.99, while folks that may have say, traded in their original copy already, can purchase the game as a standalone product for $29.99 on August 25. During today's Nintendo Direct it was also revealed that that annoying bastard Nabbit from the original release would be filling Mario's shoes as the fourth playable multiplayer character in the game. He can't power-up, but he also doesn't take damage from enemies, so yeah — there'll be plenty of fighting over him.

So I decided to go out and buy a 10-slot dedicated minecraft server for you niggers

Steam Trading Cards are the next 10-gallon hats from Valve. If you understand that line, then the rest of this story will make sense to you. If not, then you have every right to scratch your head and ask "Why?" to everything that follows.

In beta starting today, Steam Trading Cards allow users to earn Steam rewards for playing games. The current line-up of participating games is Don't Starve, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and Half-Life 2. Users will earn game-specific trading cards that can be collected to earn "game badges, profile backgrounds, emoticons, coupons, and more."

Here's the simplest way we understand it: Create trading Card sets > craft badges > get prizes listed above. There's more details on the Steam Trading Card site.

...What's new, Pikachu?

Greetings PlayStation.Blog. Today we’re really excited to announce that Gran Turismo 6 will be released Holiday 2013. The news was revealed today by legendary GT creator Kazunori Yamauchi himself at our Silverstone event held to celebrate 15 years of the 70-million-selling series.

GT6 for PlayStation 3 will see many enhancements, improvements and additions to the game. bringing new levels of authenticity to ‘the Real Driving Simulator’. Features revealed today include stunning new tracks and cars and an overhauled user interface. There’s also a new engine, which will improve game operation. Meanwhile, we are set for expanded connectivity with other devices, and increased social and community functions.

The cars and tracks from Gran Turismo 5 — which has now sold over 10 million copies since launching in 2010 — will return in GT6, but notable new additions will bring the car lineup to over 1,200. Players will also be able to customize their rides to a greater extent than ever before.

Amongst the track line-up, the UK’s famous Silverstone Circuit will be just one of seven new locations in Gran Turismo 6, taking the total to 33, with 71 different layouts available — 19 of them brand new. This already impressive lineup of cars and tracks will be added to by future DLC drops beginning after launch.

Enhancements and improvements also extend to a much-improved course maker function, which will provide several kilometers of gorgeous scenery, including the magnificent backdrop of Andalucía. The course maker will also include a new GPS data feature, which will increase the freedom of track creation in the game.

“It is amazing to think that it is 15 years since we first released Gran Turismo,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, during the announcement at Silverstone Circuit. “Things have changed a lot since then and now Gran Turismo 6 is a further evolution of my dream. We’re pleased to deliver GT 6 to PlayStation 3 as we have a very loyal community on that platform. However, we have refactored the game to make it very flexible and expandable, with a view to making many future developments.

“I am very pleased with everything about the new game and the new additions, but the launch will only be the beginning for GT6. The game will continue to develop throughout its life. I already have many ideas for things I want to achieve in the next 15 years of Gran Turismo!”

Further news about Gran Turismo 6 will be revealed at the forthcoming E3 and Gamescom events, and on www.gran-turismo.com.

Super Metroid is now available on Wii U Virtual Console for 30¢! Download it while it's hot! I seriously CANNOT WAIT to replay this tonight.

On June 21st (on a friday), i'm considering hosting a summer movie night for all of you. why the 21st? well, it's the official start of summer. plus, it gives plenty of time to prepare all this, and plenty of advance notice for all of you. i don't know what time that day i'll be starting the event but i figure it can be figured out in this topic. i know we've got a few people overseas in england and australia and all that, so we'll have to work out a good time where the most amount of people can be there at least for part of the time. it'll take place on livestream as usual, since that's the easiest for me to show stuff on. you have to sign up to use the chat but it's no big deal, it takes like one minute. if it's going to annoy you when it's time for the stream, sign up ahead of time (but make sure you don't forget your login info and get all butthurt over it). why even have this event? well, it doesn't hurt to spend time with friends, and plus many of us will have lots of time to do whatever over the summer. it's also going to be my last 100% free summer, since i'm off to school in august. you might be asking, "what do I need to do"? well, here's a list of things that i need YOUR help with;

- arranging a time of day to hold the event where most people can attend

- suggesting YOUR favorite movies or movies you're interested in seeing that day

- helping me decide how many movies should be shown

- suggesting short intermission music or videos (no more than 5 minutes)

- deciding on backup dates for the event in case something happens where I or other people will not be able to do the event

- letting me know who is interested in doing this sort of thing (this event will not happen if there isn't more than 2 people attending, there's no reason for me to set up my computer to stream for roughly 5 hours or more if there's not enough people)
 

Another thing to note, if your movie suggestion is something that most people (think about someone other than yourself for once) would be really bored by, I will not be featuring it in the stream. Your movie doesn't have to be summer themed, it can be of any genre/topic. I will be checking up on your movie before deciding to show it (watching the first few minutes and such) so someone's porn or something too gorey/gross for most people to handle(i am germophobic so let's not show something where i'm going to get a panic attack) or something boring doesn't slip through.

Also be warned that this does take some cooperation from a lot of you, so if people just don't suggest things or there aren't many good things to show for a stream or no one comes to it, this event won't be happening.

Betalands is brilliant, and I love how it is evolving so far, but once beta ends, Franis, who will be playing it? Aside from the twelve or so members who currently frequent the site? You need a larger user-base, Franis. Advertise. It will do good for you--and the rest of the members who love this site, as well--in the long-run.

So I tapped it on its head and its face "unfurled," revealing it was scrunched up to look like a pug dog's face. As it unfurled, it took the shape of a sheep's head and finally a pit bull's head. But the pit bull's head was all wavy and wobbly and soft, like a soggy waffle, and it was lacking eyes, and bloody/fleshy strawberry milk-coloured liquid was oozing from its toothless jaw and its eyes, and it looked like it was about ready to collapse into a liquidy mess, so I went over and squished its head back to the compact pug dog-looking shape again

Hello!

My name is Justin and I used to frequent this forum in 2007 (albeit I never got around to posting very much, but I still lurked quite a bit.) My original username was Whackaweed and you can see my original introduction here: http://digibutter.nerr.biz/viewtopic.php?t=39089 which is blatantly amusing looking at it six years later. Ahh, memories!

I left this site after the old boards were removed because I didn't grok the new layout too much. I still prefer using more "traditional" message boards (e.g. SMF and vBulletin.)

I'm surprised to see this site still exists and that it is still somewhat quite active. The duration and extent of assiduous effort you guys have spent and put into this fascinates me. It's amazing. :-)

So uhh... where was I..? My hobbies are music and computer programming. I know mainly Ruby, Java, and C, although I've experimented with other languages too. I'm going to university in about a year (yes, I was underage when I registered) and I'll be most likely studying computer science.

By the way, have you considered using IRC instead of the chat box? I could rant all day about the superiority of IRC although most of you will probably be appalled by my somewhat subjective reasoning, so I guess I'll leave that to another post.

I hope I'll get to talk to some of you guys sometime.
