Hi Det, I have a few things I was wondering about on Super Smash Bros. Melee, on Soundtest, a rumor, and something I'm wondering about in SSB Brawl.

First, on soundtest, Pikachu has 2 sounds that have me very curious. Pikachu: 28 and Pichu: 22
I would like to know how I could play these voices in a game to see what it causes.

Next, I was cruising sites about SSBM and there was a download on one site (cant remember) that said "In Super Smash Bros. Melee, here was a Special movie you could activate in Data, Archives. That video showed the characters you start off with. This movie is the cutout from the game that features ALL characters." Is that true Det? if so, do you think you could put it on the site for people to see?

And finally, How many characters are going to be in SSB Brawl? your opinion? I heard there were going to be about 50 or higher, I could be wrong though.

P.S.: I LOVE your site!

PIKACHU SOUND TEST:
That Pikachu sound #22 is a softer, weaker uttering of "...Pika". It could be the sound he makes after shielding for too long, but I'm not sure.
As for #28, its a louder, more urgent noise that sounds like "Poo-GAH!"
I believe that this sound effect might not actually be used anywhere in the game.

SPECIAL MOVIE:
There is a movie in the archives... But I'm pretty sure that the video doesn't contain any long lost characters. Just a slight difference with the Hyrule Temple stage.

BRAWL CHARACTERS:
There were 25 characters in Super Smash Bros Melee - So there will be at least that many in SSB Brawl. I'd expect anywhere from 30-40 characters, many of whom will surely be hidden or unlockable.

Some people are saying that Daniel Craig is the best James Bond yet. I think that Sean Connery was the best Bond. Who do you think is the best James Bond actor?

Everyone seems to have their favorite... But for some reason, I like different ones for different reasons... Dalton's cold nature made him seem like a real spy... Roger Moore had an entertaining calmness, even when in danger. Connery and Craig represent a tougher Bond, while Pierce Brosnan's Bond had a slick personna and calmness, which 007 accquired after years of being a spy.

While taking a trip into the past to recap how much Perfect Dark 64 has changed since the N64 days, I ran into your website. I put a lot of time into this game and I still cant believe how much stuff I over looked,....missed....ignored. Even the simple....Nintendo N as the Pd symbol baffled me to how Deep this game is. I ponder now...is Perfect Dark Zero just as deep?

But that's not the Point. I personally want to thank you for keeping your site up even though the majority see it as "outdated". Thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Perfect Dark Zero definitely hasn't lived up to the hype, as far as the majority of fans are concerned. Today's game's really lack the depth... They're all about killer graphics and special effects, with minimal attention being given to overall enjoyment and replay value.

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye were filled with enough hidden details and mysteries to keep some players obsessed forever... Sadly, games like that seem to be a thing of the past.

It's nice to hear some praise for keeping the Perfect Dark site online, instead of the typical complaints about the lack of PD updates.
(a hint for PD fans: If you have something new that hasn't been posted before, type up a few paragraphs and send it in.)

Okay homeboy, ive found a TON of new things (on Super Smash Bros Melee), but cant list them all...first off, i wasted my time figuring out how many credit names there are. There are about 200 or so, cause using the AR you can pause any cutscene in the game

Also, youre site fuckin rocks, thanks for 7 long years of goledeneye updates, and why isnt the goomba entei and majoras mask levels accessible????? i cant find them in the debug stuff....

Most people agree that hitting all the credits is an unattainable feat... There are so many to hit, and some of them are only in view for a split second...

When I first played Melee, I was sure that those mysterious levels would eventually be unlocked... But after I finished the game, I was surprised that those 3 stages didn't appear. For whatever reason, they're only in Event Matches 14, 26 and 47. These trophy battlefields are more of a novelty than anything, but they'd still be cool to have in VS mode.

Hey Det , nice site i know this is off the topic but do you play Runescape ? you should do a page about it

Ah, Runescape... A game so addictive that it rivals cocaine in worldwide popularity. I know people who are hooked on the 'scape... They're pale folks who never see the light of day... There's so much stuff to do and find that it would be virtually impossible to create a guide for a game that's always changing and never ending. I've never played Runescape myself, but I heard about one guy killing another guy in real life, just because the dude screwed him over in the game...

I think that non-subscribers should have access to the content that members are allowed to see.

I think that non-subscribers should be thankful that there are Members who want to support this website and keep it alive... Just think about that while you're enjoying THOUSANDS of FREE pages and screenshots.

Detstar isn't a multi-billion dollar corporation... It's a website operated by a lone individual who should have clearly closed the place down when operating costs got out of hand.

Hey, I think I saw the Black Bull (from F-Zero) on a tv screen in the breaking and entering mission on TimeSplitters Future Perfect. Are my eyes playing tricks on me?

It's hard to say for sure.... It definitely does resemble the evill craft piloted by the notorious Black Shadow at first glance... But I think it looks a bit like the giant killing machines that patrol the building.

Hi there, I came across your very interesting page about the removed "All Bonds" feature of GoldenEye. The section on the page titled "The Faces of James Bond", mentions that in that beta video the face (which appears very, very briefly) does not appear like Sean Connery and that it may have been just a fill.

Now, I don't know if it is interesting or relevant anymore, but I was bored so I made up this GIF transition with a capture and a Connery face. To me they look very similar, with the same hairline, eye and nose position and size. It seems that the mouth is off, but in my photograph, Sean is smiling.

Anyway, great site, I hope this message wasn't a total waste of time. :)
