Loss of All Meaning - Confirmed!

Ray The folks over at Brawl Central have a serious problem. It involves the use of the word 'confirm' to authenticate new info about Brawl. Take this for example:

As said in a previous update, we wouldn't be reporting on any of the leak stories unless we had confirmation, but this seems like its real.

So in other words - you don't.

So when it was 'leaked' that Zelda's down-special move was named 'Twilight Change,' and mumbled something about the name 'Sheik' in parenthesis, they immediately made a news post reading:

Sheik Confirmed!

Well, guess what happened? Turned out there wasn't even a down-special move listed. So they made an additional news post titled:

Sheik De-confirmed

Wait, 'de-confirmed?' Well great, now saying something is 'confirmed' is totally useless, as it can be just as quickly de-confirmed. But, oh, does this get better.

Ace Attorney Demo Playable Online

This video was hosted on Capcom, which no longer exists.

TimThe massive DS on your screen is actually a playable demo of Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice, the 4th installment in the Ace Attorney series which is set to arrive in the U.S. February 12th. While this is the first game not to feature Phoenix Wright as the ace attorney, he does make an appearance in the demo above, so check it out! If you've never played an Ace Attorney game, here's your chance to get a taste of it, but it's only a small taste as the full games are more involved than just the courtroom proceedings.

Smash Bros.: Delayed, Yet Again.

RayWhile Japan will only see a delay of a single week, the US version is delayed a full month. The new US release date is now March 9th.

And that's in 2008, right Nintendo? Right?

In case you all forgot, Smash Bros. Brawl was first announced at E3 as already in development, and to be an online launch title for the Nintendo Wii. Can you believe that?

But the irony of this is even greater than you can imagine.

SimCity Without the Work [Update 2]

2P

TimI found this cool little site called MyMiniCity that lets you create a town and watch it grow. It grows based on the number of visits to your city's webspace and can go from an empty field to a thriving metropolis. It's not a game really, just a virtual fish tank of sorts, but fun nonetheless. So if you want to check out the city of 2P START! as well as help it grow, just give a clickity-click! It's in a pretty sad state as of this writing, but let's see what it looks like in a week!

[Update]: Looks like we can now also build up the industry for the city by clicking here. Each person can grow the population and the industry once per day, so don't bother trying to click more than once. Thanks guys, we're growing!

[Update 2]: Transportation needs work now too. But don't forget to keep growing the population and the industry!
