Wow. It's insane how far Xenosaga's fallen off the map; DEAD RISING is beating it and Disgaea is keeping it close.

Eh, the "better way" just causes a bunch of passers-by to sign up.

So? I fail to see the problem. You already have a lot of passers-by signing up.

XD at Xenosaga barely above Madden.

This is yet another example of Post-Crappy-Game Syndrome: everyone is much less excited and much more apprehensive about all games in a particular series after a disappointing entry is released, even if the new game is awesome.

See: Devil May Cry 3, Tomb Raider Legend, Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, Driver: Parallel Lines, and so on.

WTF is Dead Rising? o_O

And by the way, to whoever said NintendoFAQs was alright, but LessThanThreeNintendoHateHateHateFFB8 was pushing it... I was thinking while at work, and in the end, whatever ends up pushing Vlado closer to the exit door is a good thing.

Not as many passerbys!

Does the occasional guru signup post really bug you? I mean once it's past 50 or so it's beyond the point where it floods out the conversations. It's not like this "CS&D space" isn't free.

By the way, this begs the question of how KOS-MOS is going to do in the upcoming contest, since she'll definitely be in excellent position to win at least a match. She's already fallen a good bit last year, do you think that trend will continue this year?

And no more than 9 on the Crew, though I personally prefer 7, but 9 is fine.

She's got tons of nominees that haven't posted in the rally topic much yet, I've seen em. Theres still quite a few folks round here rallying for her I've noticed.

The latest in how casual n00bs attempt to make the painfully obvious slightly more exciting: apparently, Samus isn't a lock to win the female section. Please. I'd take Ganondorf over every last one of Samus' competitors, and Samus thrashed him 60-40.

By the way, the obvious winner of the next Best. Game. Ever. contest is coming your way soon:

Also, I promise you guys I'm going to become a Stats reg. I got a wake up call the other morning when I was having more fun in here than I'd had on the rest of the board in a long long time.

I'd take Zelda (if for nothing other than SFF) over Ganondorf... and I think Tifa and Aeris could make it close. Does that mean anything as it relates to Samus? Well, no, not really.

Don't get me wrong, Ganondorf against any of those three would make for a great match. But I'd pick Ganondorf in every case. You're free to disagree, though, and there are very good points to be made for them.

True or False: Considering how weak Shadow Hearts was, we can take Yuri's performance on Samus as evidence of a Samus drop in 2k5.

......I'm not gonna get sucked into the upset, dammit....

While I know Tifa is almost certainly the favorite to take Sonic and Mega Man now, Samus might be a bit out of her league.

False. The way she massacred Frog fell in line with what Liquid did in the villain contest, and Samus dropping implies SFF on Ganondorf. If they were, like, 55-45 close, I could NEVER see Samus do that.
