Eh, it's just nice when I don't have to touch the consoles. I can deal.

Netflix streaming works as advertised.

I remembered that my mom recently got Netflix, so I'm piggybacking off her account.

That's a very cool level. Have you made any others? I think I remember talk of an Ice Cream level or something?

And once again I'm sitting in the office bored out of my mind. I'm not looking forward to my last class today, but I'm going Transformer(and grocery) shopping tonight, so I've got something to look forward to at least.

Anyone needing the co-op achievements on Gears 2? Looking to knock the Insane mode and co-op achievements down all at once but have no one to co-op with.

NXE is amusing so far. Installing gears 2 and ac at the current moment.

Did a road trip around to try and net some games at movie galleries/hollywood videos and god what a horrible idea. 3hours in a car, 6 hwv/mg and nothing. All the good shit was still on the rental shelves with all launch crap on the for sale shelve. Asked at all and got a dumb look from every employee.

It's not very cheesy. It gypped me out of about 300 points, I think. That's when I said bad words and almost set it on fire, but ended up dumping it for uber-cheap to some sucker on half.com. ;)

I was trying to get the "no timestop", "no upgrades", and "no deaths" cheeses... but while I reloaded after every death, never froze time, and never picked up a boost for any stat, it only gave me the cheese for finishing it on normal. And that took a lot of fun out of the game. :|

Apparently with the no deaths you have to turn the 360 off right after you die, like within seconds, and that doesn't always work.

I only need the "all boosts" and "complete and normal" and a few of the other smaller ones, so shouldn't be too bad.

I have 210 in it and just need to get over 290.

Decided to ditch Soul Calibur IV on Goozex. I'm just not into fighters anymore, and hadn't touched it in a couple months. Might as well ditch it while it's still in demand and going for 1,000 points. That'll put me over 8,000 points, so I have a nice base for picking up all these fall releases off Goozex in a few months.

$20!

I thought it was going to be $10!

Bionic Commando was twice the new game SSF2THDR is and it was only $10!

On the last chapter of Mirror's Edge. That game is almost good. The combat is TERRIBLE and the ledge grabs are sketchy and don't always work like you want.

Seriously, that level on the fucking boat made me almost turn the damn thing off. There should not have been any combat in this game. I'm trying to play it without using guns. Then there's these bullshit parts where you could just run away from a group of enemies, if not for the conveniently placed crank that needs to be turned, or pipe that needs to be climbed, assuring that if you do run, you'll be shot in seconds.

Platforming and climbing puzzles are great, though.

Also, cartoon porn is not normal. It's about as awesome as making love to a realdoll. They're both just as humanlike. Grow up, kiddos.

Hey GGT!

Haven't checked in here in awhile so I thought I'd pop in and see if everyone was behaving themselves.

I'm looking forward to playing Mirror's Edge. I won (http://www.gamepodunk.com/forum/podunk-contests-giveaways/1987-congrats-winners-mirrors-edge-updated-every-friday.html) the game in a contest last week over at gamepodunk.com. There's still 1 copy left to give away this Friday if anyone wants to enter (http://www.gamepodunk.com/forum/podunk-contests-giveaways/1902-mirrors-edge-giveaway-5-winners.html). There's less than two dozen entries now, so its not impossible. And you can join the Podunk community while you're there!

Anyway, as for games, I finally beat Persona 3 FES: The Answer the other day and its gotten me totally excited for P4. Can't fucking wait. And I beat Castlevania OoE. Good game, not as good as DoS, but better than PoR.

Also, I've started Valkyria Chronicles. So far, it is an AWESOME game and I highly recommend it.

Lastly, as for PC gaming, A Vampyre Story is now out for download HERE (http://www.gamersgate.com/?page=product&what=view&sku=DD-AVS) for $29.99. My GF downloaded it last night, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet. In case you don't remember, its a point-and-click adventure game developed by many of the old LucasArts gang. There's also a demo available HERE (http://www.worthdownloading.com/game.php?gid=2931).

My first run was on Normal with no runner vision and no guns.

The server room. The only real bitch part is that last fucker who stands on the catwalk with his machine gun out. He will not move and it seems totally random how many shots it takes for him to kill me. Usually he decides it's just one.

It's frustrating in a bad way, but I realize I'm not playing the game the normal way it should be played.

Just run straight at him. I found that if you try to zig zag your way towards him, it takes longer and he'll shoot more, making it a higher chance of dying.

When you get there, put bullet time on, and disarm him. He takes too many punches.

dallow
11-20-2008, 03:51 PM
Run loopy loops around servers, run up catwalk, hit with slide kick or jump kick so he's down for a second and run into elevator.

Are you playing on Hard? One hit shouldn't kill you.

Whoo! I did it! finished Mirror's Edge with no guns used (on people).

I ended up just jumping up to the catwalk, ignoring all the other dudes, disarming the machine gunner, and then using his gun to shoot all the servers, then ran upstairs.

Overall I'd give the game a C. Dull story, some bad controls, and atrocious combat bring down what is otherwise a really fun puzzle/platforming type game.

AC:CF is like a finely-tuned version of Wild World. Aside from the city, there's not much new about it, but much of what is new is an improvement over WW; my favorite of these is the ability to swap tools without having to go to the menu.

No. Most people haven't bothered with wii speak.

I checked the Namco website, and it seems that it hasn't been announced yet for PS3, so it looks like maybe these two have broken the news or its just a rumor. I know it was originally intended for PS3 but put on hold or something, so its probably just something that hasn't been announced yet and these two sellers are breaking the news a little early.

So I've never played a Katamari game before, but I've always heard good things about the games. I noticed that Beautiful Katamari was coming out for PS3 early next year and was wondering if the 360 version was any good.
I'd stay away from that one unless they stop with all the "DLC"...

11-21-2008, 02:30 PM
Yeah, I saw the DLC.
Kinda ridiculous. And you need some of it for a few of the achievements.

Krymner
11-21-2008, 02:31 PM
On closer look at the GQD listing, I noticed it was an '08 release date, so maybe it is old and just hasn't been updated or something. I contacted them for clarification.

Thanks for all the help tho. I think maybe I will pick up one of the PS2 Katamari games first now. Probably a used copy at the GS Black Friday sale if I can find one.

dallow
11-21-2008, 02:32 PM
Probably just a mistake.
I don't see it being released on PS3 anymore so I went for a cheap copy on 360.
Ace Combat 6 is next.

I want that flight stick but it's so expensive.

It's a very, very cool level. I played around with that and the Ice Cream level last night, both were very cool. Then friended you afterwards :D Congratz on internet fame. Now all you need to do is start a blog about how you've always been famous on the internet and it's about damn time you got the recognition you deserved :lol:

Meanwhile, I've been trying my hand at the level creator. I'm not very good at it, but I do think they few things I come up with are pretty neat.

And has anyone tried Daroga's Airship level? That shit's nuts. Where has he been lately anyway?

He has a lot of cool moves, he kicked my ass a few times in the story mode :-P

Honestly, I grabbed it because I thought the idea was cool, but after playing it I really like it. No stupid stances from the last games, a cool (but brief) story mode, and there isn't a gazillion characters like there was in Armageddon.

Still, I wish there were some weird modes like chess or something.

on topic(just in case we get in trouble!)
Last night, I made the beginning of a level with a giant rabbit who had bombs in his ears. He begged for help and as you approached him, the bombs exploded. Epic.

I'm thinking an evil Little Red Riding Hood level would be a very good start for me.

Hmm... Maybe I'll have to watch some videos of how he moves and stuff. Because I really hate Mortal Kombat. And I've put a lot of time in to trying to like it.

I'm not saying they shouldn't have made them. I'm saying they should have given the option of watching them. I'd like to be able to try and figure things out myself. And if I needed the help I could check out the tutorial videos.

What don't you like about it?

I blame my dislike of MK on two things:
1) I wasn't allowed to play it as a lad, but I was able to play Street Fighter :confused: which I think is why there's a personal preference for SF.
2) I just feel like the controls are clunky/I don't have a "favorite" character.

whoknows
11-21-2008, 05:48 PM
I got to play it a lot when I was a kid, I was so cool. It was lame though when I was at a friends house playing it and their mom made us turn it off though :cry:


And maybe that's why I never got into SF. I was always a MK kid :-P

I didn't get a Home invite but someone gave me their code randomly.

It's pretty ridiculous. I got two club invites, one from Richlough for CAG's club, and semi-random one from someone I have on my friends list.

I entered the club, he told me to have a seat, so I did.
Then we danced, then we went bowling.

It's pretty weird.
And the face editor is very, very deep if you want it to be. I didn't spend much time with it as it was taking too long.

C'mon now.... And I've been waiting for like 5 minutes to download the "Central Plaza". I hope these are things that are going to be worked out in the final build.

And my LBP level is coming along swimmingly. I've got about 30 seconds of gameplay. Twisted Fairy Tale ftw. My crowning achievement in my level is my exploding "Grama's House" sign. Pure genius.

I bought my console on launch day. Since then, I've had to return it 3 times. Each time, I've been sent back a refurbished console that was doomed to red ring again. That was fine when I had a warranty, but now that their 3 year band-aid fix is up, I'm fucked when I get the inevitable red ring.

I'm really tempted just to trade it in now and buy a new one before it breaks, so I don't have to try to towel trick it into working to trade it in.
