Episode 12: Indiana, iPhone, and the Wii U Reveal


Vic and Scott head underground to Vic’s game-cave/man-room/fart-thedral to fart, game, and scream obscenities at one another. This week they talk about/scream about the new Indiana Jones Blu-ray collection, the iPhone 5, and the big Wii U reveal. Bonus Topic of the Day: Scott and Vic discuss their need to curse like sailors on shore leave while gaming. Why do gamers curse so much? What primal need does it satisfy? Beyond that, are there bugs in the middle of the ocean? Tune into this week’s episode of Vic’s Basement for all the answers to all of your existential questions.

Don't matter to me either way.

 

[zenith16]

It'll be subject to change any way.

 

[KALEL114]

No surprise. Nintendo has region locked almost all of their systems. It sucks for importers, but that's it.

This.

I forget where I read it, but there was an article about Wii U taking another hit because of this. It's very LOL worthy.

 

[terry78]

Look on IGN. They're *****ing about the whole thing as if it's some kind of shock.

 

[zenith16]

That's why I don't always pay attention to the whole of IGN and have other alternatives. The only thing I like from there is the fix. I listen to the reviews on occasion. But i'm glad I have other chose's (and don't take them at all as the final word review if at all) cause really they have some seriously stupid people working there with the exception of a few that are likeable and smart. But the rest ehh.

 

[Benstamania]

Region lock, the one thing I could absolutely careless about. Wait. Problem solved.

 

[Duke]

I hardly ever buy import games.

 

[Soapy]

I don't import games, (I may have to start soon though), but region lock is seriously the dumbest thing ever. I see no reason for it to exist.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It's so you can't play those Japanese games they don't want us to have.

 

[WolfCypher]

The DS wasn't region-locked. I got Pokemon White super early on my American system.

But it really doesn't matter. Rarely does a Japanese-only title come out that I would kill for. Most of the games I strongly wanted on my GC/PS3/Wii/3DS/whatever also made it to my country.

This could hurt Europe and Australia since they usually get games extremely late or not at all, but their systems could be region-free. This may just be for American systems.

 

[KALEL114]

The DS wasn't but the NES, DSi, Wii, and 3DS were.

 

[Benstamania]

I used to import games on my Dream cast but I never knew what was going on because I can't read and or speak Japanese

 

[the dmg]

I've been reading on other forums that I frequent with people actually mad that Wii U is running games like BLOPSII at 1080p and 60fps.

ZombiU and Epic Mickey first day rentals for me. I'm waiting for Madden 13 so I can use that pad as a personal playbook.

 

[Adamantium]

Where the hell is Rayman Legends? Where the hell is Rayman Legends?

I have to say this made me

 

[zenith16]

hmm Injustice isn't in there(list)ether. Even though Injustice states it's a Wii U title it's self. o maybe I'm missing it, some how? ... nope it's not on that list.

 

[Benstamania]

I really want to see what Ubisoft plans on doing with ACIII on WiiU. I know they're behind the WiiU 100% so I'd like to what they're doing with it. I have no doubt that it will be 1080p...That reason alone will force me to get the WiiU version.. But I wantvto see them really take advantage of the controller.
