Yes, most people would prefer well-hung, or hanged. Either way.

I'm intrigued by the 51/49 phenomenon. It's happened now in the US, UK and Australia.  I wonder if it is because of the way elections are now processed in the same way -- or the negative advertising.  In any case, representative democracy is unsustainable in countries with large populations - as de Tocquieville pointed out.  Australia still has a tiny enough population that the government is essentially good (regardless of which party has a majority), but even so this 51/49 stuff is depressing stuff.  

The professional advertising class are using starkly polemic appeals to drive votes and it is working too well.

I've never seen an election that wasn't depressing, this one was just a little more vulgar than usual.

Super Mario Sunshine - Never played it. Kind of curious if it was ever good.

WTF?

YES, it's good! In fact, it's EFFING awesome!

Get it NOW!

DO IT!

I like Mario Sunshine more than Mario Galaxy. Only babies that can't use a manual camera & need the game to control the camera for them didn't like it.

People like Jeff Gerstmann.

Babies that like actual level design, babies that rather do platforming instead of collecting blue coins. Babies that rather take it like a man and die if they mis-jump instead of using the crutch that is the hover nozzle.

 I'd argue that missing jumps and dying was more common in Mario Sunshine then in Mario Galaxy. For some reason, it wasn't the camera really because you did learn to position it, it was the shadowing and visual cues. It made it hard to judge jumps, like in the waterpack-less retro levels. You can see in mario Galaxy which does those sorts of abstract levels all the time, it's much easier there than in Mario Sunshine.

 The reason for that was crappy camera and no long jump. But the void levels are awesome, no I mean 90% of the game were you can just hover around. Fuck that.

I just found Sunshine to be a more entertaining game than Galaxy. And I stayed interested in it for longer spurts of time. Now Galaxy 2 so far I'd say is about equal to Sunshine for me. I guess that extra layer of creativity and refinement put it over Galaxy 1 for me as it seems to have done for everybody else too.

The Galaxy games have better pure platforming than Sunshine, but I felt Sunshine flowed better as a game and I like that it didn't seem as much like a giant collection of mini levels. I also liked the Hub World.
