Comment of the Week: Where’s Malstrom?; DS love
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 8:17am by JackGametaku raises some good points today, so he/she gets comment of the week!
Where’s Malstrom? I originally joined the site after reading a few of his great expositions. Aren’t we overdue for another one? And what are his and sites current views on the DS? Obviously video game companies read this site and even espond to some of its’ articles. How abot calling out all of the Lumines sequels and the lack of true an online enabled Meteos (none of that Disney crap) for the DS? Why havn’t we’ve seen an adaptation of that wonderful game for the Wii? Mabe it’ll come via wiiware and allow for custom planet uilding and online Wii Play (I had to do that).
Meteos was seriously the game that made the DS click for me many years ago. It was fun, quirky, and used the stylus wonderfully — but I would have loved to have been able to play my DS-owning friends. As for Malstrom, he’s an enigma wrapped in a riddle blanketed in a limerick. Your guess is as good as mine!

Malstrom’s readying a new update. Here’s a preview:

Meteos is by far my favorite DS game. I still haven’t unlocked everything, and I play it quite a bit. I’m with you, Jack; Meteos online would be killer.

Wow, thanks for making my comment, comment of the week. I’m very honored Infendo.
Thanks for the link, I love the way Malstrom thinks. He/she (I don’t know) can give you his opinion in a unique way without you ignoring or leaving your own opinion behind. And out of his list of his upcoming storm, this seems to be the most intriguing of thoughts:
“Is this the Seventh Generation… or the Third?”. 7th generation would refer to both hardware and the competing market the way we use it today, but thinking in terms of the 3rd generation would point to thinking of each generation being dependent on what was actually happening in gaming itself and what hugely influential changes brought them on. This is gonna be good :).

And I hate that I don’t always hit my keys hard enough or proofread my posts. Here’s a slightly edited version of the featured post if I was ever unclear on anything or confused anyone.

I believe the quote you’re looking for is:
“It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery… INSIDE an enigma.”
Know whose it is, by any chance?

@Jack and me
Oh it was bloody Churchil, that old blighter.

@ Protector One — I know the real quote. This was m trying to innovate and be cute. Whether I succeeded or failed is up to the readers.

Cute, very cute. I like the ring of the original though. Especially how it’s heard on the old Balthaser site: http://balthaser.com/b1/home.html
(Ah, the web circa 1998… *Sniff*)
