Mojib Ribbon Game Promises Musical Spam

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamers.com report discussing the bizarre Japanese PlayStation 2 game, Mojib Ribbon, from the creators of Parappa The Rapper and this title's cult prequel, Vib Ribbon. The article says, "Like its predecessor, [Mojib Ribbon] ..is a simple rhythm game, but ..the game takes any text file and converts it into a Parappa-style rap, which players must then follow through stick inputs." Furthermore, the game uses the network adaptor and "..lets players send game data back and forth between each other. Players could e-mail especially inspiring raps to each other, or simply use their morning spam to generate a new game challenge." There's more info available via a preview at The GIA and pictures from this year's GDC.

Get US out of the United Nations

[Anonymous Coward]

The U.S. system of government is based on the concept that rights come from God and that the sole purpose of government is to protect God-given rights. The UN does not recognize the supremacy of God and views itself as the source of "rights." As the source, it can give and take away "rights" at its whim.

From Korea and Vietnam to the Persian Gulf, Somalia, and Kosovo, the United Nations is hardly a "peace" organization but rather a cover for American presidents to conduct undeclared wars.

Huge government entities at the international level can not "solve" global problems any better than big national governments have "solved" such domestic problems as inflation, crime, poverty, drug trafficking, etc.

Withdrawal from the UN would not mean a retreat into so-called "isolation" anymore than absence of the UN prior to 1945 meant that the United States was "isolated."
The dangers posed by the United Nations is well-documented. For a collection of available books, magazines, and videos, plus other online resources and articles about the UN, please visit our Get US out! website.

The force in Korea was actually a UN sanctioned event. granted, they didnt allow the Russians into the Sec. Council sitting, but the UN did actually pass a resolution. Kosovo was also a UN sanctioned war. and Somalia. the recent war in Iraq and Vietnam were undeclared wars, just as all the bullshit the US got up to in South America in the 50's through to the late 80's, but then again, the USSR went to an undeclared war in Afghanistan in the 70's - do you want Russia out of the UN? and how United Nations is the UN if the US isnt in it? granted they dont give a rats left testicle about the UN, but fuck - at least theres a forum for debate there. If anything - get the beauracracy out of the UN - flashback to Rwanda, dateline 1994. The UN didnt act until about 3 months after the massacres started and 3/4 million people were dead. By the time there were peacekeepers there, 1 mill + were dead. Fuck the US, they're on their last legs, they know it, and with a cowboy in the drivers seat, they're goign out with a bang and taking everyone else with it. YEEEEEEEE-HAAAAWWW...

see you in the next life.

>>Fuck the US, they're on their last legs, they know it,

Why? Just because of 911? Dumbass.

It was bad, but not enough to push us over the edge.... Don't believe everything you read about the country reeling and being on it's knees. People have moved on(except for the families of the victims). The country has moved on.

Iraq would have happened without 911 anyway. It just made it easier for shrub to think of an excuse. He's not getting away with any more shit anyway. Neither is Cheeney.

But back to the US being on it's last legs. We're far from it. So fuck you.

stick inputs?

[Anonymous Coward]

Players can play with each other's stick inputs? This anime shit in Japan has gone too far, it is really corrupting their brains over there.

Sigh...

[Anonymous Coward]

Why are there so many pathetic trolls? What do people subscribe for anyway???? No good posts before the rest of the slashdot crowd gets to see it? Hmm. How sad.

Anyway, this is a rather quirky idea, though I frankly never came to enjoy the finger-pounding rhythm games; I like the ones where you actually have to use your legs! (GO DDR!!!) We need more physical exertion type games in the U.S., for all the fat people. (Hey, it's not an insult, it's true! An overwhelming majority of the U.S. population are overweight! Go google it if you don't believe me, though I would hope it was common knowledge).

Hahaha, I concur. Fucking hilarious, even if has been posted before.

Damn.

[Valar]

You know those ideas you have, and don't bother recording anywhere, but then someone else goes and makes money off of it? ... I wanted to do something like this using libsdl. Ergad. Oh well, maybe I'll start actually doing something about my ideas one of these days...

robert: I bring you closer to me. You're moaning and dripping wet. I weave air to blow in your ear. You almost faint.

tasha_yar: this is fantastic. I hope it never ends.

robert: you know. this sucks. I'm going home.
