The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Banjo-Kazooie (All)

in not-paying attention to video games, I totally forgot the third game came out (third platform game anyway) and I'm waiting until after the 25th (a la requests by parents not to buy anything until then) to purchase it... unless of course it's a gift (which I will also enjoy)

I was so excited when I first heard it coming out years ago... and totally forogot about it in everything... but I hope all the "Stop N' Swop" stuff is explained further.... though I don't have XBox Live :( I hope to gain access to the BK Remake

Playing through the XBox Live version of Banjo-Kazooie has been fun.  I've still got the good old skills, but I had to get used to the new controls.  I seriously can't believe how good I am at this. :P:

The sequel, Banjo-Tooie, is supposed to come out later this month, so I'll have both on my XBox 360. :) (Finally owning the sequel after all these years!  Yes! :D)

Now, I will say that aside from controls, the only difference from the N64 version is that they changed some of the logos.  The Rare logo has had the box around it removed since then, and they replaced the Nintendo logo with the Microsoft Game Studios logo.  Aside from that, it's still the same wacky and fun game.  The great music and humorous dialouge is still just as you remember it, and yes, Grunty still distracts you with crazy rhymes while you go through her lair.

As for the latest game, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, it's NOT actually a platformer like the others.  Rather, you get to build some crazy vehicles to aid you in your quest.  You can pretty much build whatever you can imagine and they'll still surprisingly work. (Even if laws of physics say they won't.) It is said to still have the crazy humorous dialouge you've come to love with the series.  I guess we should've seen this coming though.  After all, this is the way gaming is today, sadly. :(

I'll still give it a shot.  After all, it's Banjo-Kazooie.  How bad can it be? :)

yea I know the new one isn't a platformer, but it's interesting...

I really want to get the Stop & Swop (sic) stuff legitimately... since I already got them the only possible way in the 64 version
