For the past 3 hours I have been whoring it up and making my houses better. I think I have 2 kids at least now, one from a threesome. I wonder if the next Fable will have Maurry and his DNA tests.

Dammit man, they do sell condoms in the game ya know! ;)

I guess with all the cash rollin' in, you don't need to worry too much about child support. :)

Any of the alleged STDs crop up yet?

[Moxio]

$11?!!! Holy shit, you got taken.

[manthing]

$11?!!! Holy shit, you got taken.


I believe the term you're looking for is butt-raped

[Moxio]

TMK, the next time you consider taking your good PS2 RPGs to GameStop, run them by me first. I am interested in them. :^D

[benjamouth]

I assume they'd have still given you $11 if you'd kept the book and CD, something to bear in mind for the future I guess.

[Nelo Ice]

anyone see the new gears 2 commercial?
http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/gears-of-war-2/gears-of-war-2-videos/1254704

[Azumangaman]

I've read that and Coyote Blue.
--

Man, Dead Space is just as fantastic as I thought it would be. I'm almost through chapter 3... having ammo/inventory problems though.
Awesome! I finished A Dirty Job today (amazing) and I'm going to start Coyote Blue tonight or tomorrow. Looking forward to it. A Dirty Job was my first.

Also, glad to hear Dead Space is great.
I'm thinking as to whether I should start Fable 2 or Dead Space right now. I think it'll be Fable 2.

[jer7583]

Lolll I sold multiple copies of P3 for around $70-80 back then.

I played about 15 hours of FES and had enough. It was okay, but I can't keep my attention with it long enough. 15 hours for $30 was fair, though.

I decided I only trade to GameStop when it's flipped games from blockbuster that I bought with credit from flipped games from GameStop.

Seriously. I wish I could get Fable 2 and Banjo Kazooie yet. Those are the only two I haven't budgeted into the holiday. Maybe for christmas.

[The Mana Knight]

I assume they'd have still given you $11 if you'd kept the book and CD, something to bear in mind for the future I guess.They would have. I considered, but I'm the type who hates having junk around (I've probably thrown out some bonuses and gave them to Goodwill). I like to have as little stuff as possible, just how I am.

TMK, the next time you consider taking your good PS2 RPGs to GameStop, run them by me first. I am interested in them. :^DWill do. I've traded in games at GameStop, but not the RPGs. I tend to gives CAGs a first shot on them.

My Digital Devil Saga collection might go. :hot: Who knows. ;) Maybe I should trade that into GameStop. :-P Just kidding, really bad move

I believe the term you're looking for is butt-rapedI rather have $11 than it sitting on my shelf un-played getting $0. I considered selling it on CAG, but didn't really push it hard because once you figure in shipping, paypal fees, and so on, I'd probably make $2-$3 more, and there's still the chance I'd be scammed (and after being scammed, I'm more likely to trade stuff into GS because being out $60 of games still hurts me now).

Tonight I'll be playing Wipeout HD online with some. Not sure what else I'll play tonight.

[Azumangaman]

Not sure what else I'll play tonight.
Theres a really cool game called GET A JOB :) Play it :)
I heart TMK.

From Ubisoft conference call concerning the casual market:

38% sales coming from casuals.
Casuals games: more marketing, less development

that's absurd to think that 40% of Ubisoft's profits are coming from those god forsaken imagine titles and PETZ.

[hankmecrankme]

Play SCIV with me. 8-)

[DarthPuma]

I have Persona 3 saved up for a rainy day. It's so damn long though, I think 10 hours in I only got to the first full moon.

Great game, just no time.

Probably some fable 2 this afternoon, and then dead space tonight!

Gamefly credited. I'm very happy. If I get the bundle from amazon, the credit will pay off LBP and buy me Gears 2 (or something else, not sure If I want to do the midnight thing for gears to get the golden hammerburst.)

Are you kidding? That stuff is like crack. My daughter wants a petz game everytime we go to the store. I haven't caved in yet but I'm sure there are thousands of parents that do.

[gunm]

Tonight will be more Fable 2 and/or whatever else my console-less buddy wants to try.

At last, a crazy monkey or monkeyz I can have for my very own.

[corrosivefrost]

Awesome! I finished A Dirty Job today (amazing) and I'm going to start Coyote Blue tonight or tomorrow. Looking forward to it. A Dirty Job was my first.

Also, glad to hear Dead Space is great.
I'm thinking as to whether I should start Fable 2 or Dead Space right now. I think it'll be Fable 2.

A Dirty Job was, on the whole, stronger than Coyote Blue -- however, Coyote Blue, oddly enough, is sort of the predecessor to A Dirty Job (in a way).

I'd say Dead Space, but either way, I hear the main quest of Fable 2 will end up being about as long as Dead Space anyhow... ;)

not sure If I want to do the midnight thing for gears to get the golden hammerburst.

Why?

[dmaul1114]

I think the reviews for Fable 2 have put it as an eventual must buy for me.

I won't get it right away as I don't have a lot of time for games right now, and Gears 2 will take up a lot of that soon. Plus I just started Oblivion so that has my RPG needs covered for a long time. I'll pick Fable 2 up sometime next year when it's on sale for $40 or less or I can get it off of Goozex (already through it on my requests list).

A couple of my friends are going to the midnight launch of gears for the golden gun, but it's cheaper on amazon.

I meant why bother for the golden gun? What's the point?

[mrchainsaw]

I just picked up Castlevania. The GS employee said they've already sold out and I got my copy from their second shipment that came in today. :hot:

TMK, you say you don't like having stuff around but don't you own hundreds of games? How much are those making you? Seriously man, either sell your backlog or stop buying new games and play them.

[Ahadi]

I think I've got about 2 hours of story left in Saints Row. I think I may actually beat it tonight :whee:

Once I'm done SR, I'm going to put more time into SCIV until I can justify a new game. I'm thinking of getting Fable 2, but I don't know if I want to run the risk of my 2nd replacement 360 red ringing on me...

[SL4IN]

Did you end up giving up on Disgaea Ahadi?

[Kendal]

I believe I am 2/3 of the way through Fable II. I spent a ton of money buying up the town. I have almost a million dollars in real estate. Now I gotta get better furniture in the shop. But I think I kinda screwed that up. I married the shop lady and she is in Oakplace and not in Bowerstoned. Oops. Gotta teleport her back to the awesome city.

I guess I caught one STD in the game. I did have a foursome. And one kid was a result of a threesome with two other guys in one of my husband's house. Such a whore!

[Ahadi]

Did you end up giving up on Disgaea Ahadi?

I'm throwing it on the back burner. It really isn't doing much for me. It may end up back at gamestop sooner than later.

[whoknows]

I'm throwing it on the back burner. It really isn't doing much for me. It may end up back at gamestop sooner than later.

What made you give up? You make me not want to open my copy.

[The Mana Knight]

What made you give up? You make me not want to open my copy.Disgaea isn't for everyone. Some will love it, some will not.


TMK, you say you don't like having stuff around but don't you own hundreds of games? How much are those making you? Seriously man, either sell your backlog or stop buying new games and play them.I use to have tons of games, but I've greatly downsized. I use to have almost 700 games, almost a year ago. Right now I'm down to just over 300 games (I've been trying to find stuff to ditch). If I can get under 300, then that's amazing. So in reality, I don't have all that many games, since I've cut back a lot (but still want less, just trying to decide what to not keep).


Theres a really cool game called GET A JOB :) Play it :)
I heart TMK.I will start heavily looking again if I pass a certain test on Halloween. ;) That will make getting a job a bit easier. For now I'll just be a bum, play video games and post on CAG. :D

I played a little more Eternal Sonata. Right now I'm downloading stuff off of the PS Store, since it's Thursday. :)

[Jesus_S_Preston]

For those who NES care about NES the well being NES of JSP, my SAT scores happened: Critical Reading 610

[kainzero]

A certain test?
Are you taking the state test to be a public engineer?

I'll tell you one thing though
It did absolutely nothing for my job prospects. -_-;





I'm still looking at that article on kotaku where that Korean chick left the PR department of Guitar Hero to be a Playboy model. Smokin' hot.

[dmaul1114]

300+ games still seems crazy to me. I currently have 20-25 and 5 or so of those are listed on Goozex and more will be when I finish them.

But I know some people like to collect stuff and/or replay games, and I do neither.

[SL4IN]

Fable 2 tonight!

[whoknows]

Finally got a R2 beta code. I pretended I didn't care about getting one since the game is coming out in 2 weeks, but I'm pretty happy I do have it now.

Now I just have to play the waiting game since it looks to take forever to download.

Any of you guys get one? Looks like if you signed up for one you'll most likely get one.

I flip-flop on the subject. Somedays I'd be completely content with my dreamcast and my fighting games, other days I wish I had a ton more than what I do have. I'm sitting in around 250-280 games total. The only ones I really "collect" are DS games, which I've got around 40+.

[DarthPuma]

300 games? I have like 35, excluding DLC. The only reason I have half of them is because they aren't worth enough to sell.

Shit, with DLC it's only like 50.

See, I just seldom every replay games so I just see no point in keeping them around once I beat them. Of course there are exeptions with multiplayer games etc.

It's not like movies or cds where I'll watch/listen to them repeatedly over the years. I'd always rather play a new game than replay an old one. So for me there's just no use to keep them around.

I completely understand that, I have friends that usually don't own more than like, 10 games at a time. Always buying, beating, trading. What astonishes me though, is DVD collections that some people have. I guess I'm a little odd in the sense that I absolutely don't care for movies, so when I see this couple that's a friend of mine of 4 bookshelves full of Anime and DVD's (well over 500+ movies total), I'm just in awe at how many movies they own. I own like, 20 DVD's and that's it. 15 of them are wrestling ones at that.

[dmaul1114]

Yeah I have 300+ dvds and 300+ cds. But I watch movies and listen to music a lot more than a play games. Those will always be in my life. I don't know if I'll keep gaming beyond this generation when I'll be much busier starting next year and probably have to cut back on hobby time.

[DarthPuma]

Question, when I claim the game on saturday, how long will it take yf360g to send it to me? I want to use the credit on LBP, but seeing as how that ships super soon it's probably not happening. :(

I'm pretty proud of myself, it's looking like I'll be able to get Gears, the World Tour Bundle, Rock Band 2, and LBP for like 190 bucks out of pocket. It will be less if I can find a buyer for World Tour.

I'll pick up fallout when my giftcards from Gears and LBP come in. I'd consider the game worth 40 bucks.

[The Mana Knight]

A certain test?
Are you taking the state test to be a public engineer?

I'll tell you one thing though
It did absolutely nothing for my job prospects. -_-;No, the test has to do with operating a vehicle.

300 games? I have like 35, excluding DLC. The only reason I have half of them is because they aren't worth enough to sell.

Shit, with DLC it's only like 50.Well, let's say around 50 or so of those games are downloads on PSN/XBL/Wii.

Well, despite the games I have, I only have 4 DVDs (two anime, one movie, one TV program)

Anyway, like whoknows, I got into the R2 beta an hour or so ago. Interesting because I preordered the game yesterday, along with Valkyria Chronicles.

I'm also happy that Meijer has 15% sale this Saturday, so I will be buying Rock Band 2.

[mrchainsaw]

No matter how you try to spin it, 300 games is absurd. Cut that down to 30 or less. No wonder you say you have money problems.

I just put in around an hour on Castlevania and I'm loving it so far.

I'll pick up fallout when my giftcards from Gears and LBP come in. I'd consider the game worth 40 bucks.

I'm just getting Gears from Amazon (used a $25 GC, and got in the $10 GC with preorder) and asked for the DS Castlevania for my B-day next month, so my wallet is happy.

That'll probably be it, may put a game or two on my X-mas list, but may not as that will keep me busy, along with just starting Oblivion, needing to start Sonic Rush etc.

Definitely want Fable 2 at some point, and maybe Fallout 3 (depending on reviews/impressions) but Oblivion has my RPG needs covered for the time being. I want to get Dead Space as well, but that can wait for a match on Goozex. Other than that I don't see much. The Call of Duty 5 beta isn't impressing me. Far Cry 2 isn't for me as I don't like open world games much (outside of RPGs). Unless I'm forgetting something on the 360/DS there just isn't much else that interests me.

[Ahadi]

What made you give up? You make me not want to open my copy.

I just feel like I'm running in quick sand when I'm playing. I need to level my guys up, and when I work on grinding, I just feel like I get no where. And the story is really neat :lol: I dig it a lot, but the over all game to me leaves a dry taste in my mouth. And that sucks to say, because I really really wanted to like Disgaea.

[blueshinra]

That's the thing with Disgaea: you have to love (or not mind) constant grinding to stick with it. I enjoy grinding when things are kept interesting and entertaining, and Disgaea delivers; along with the story, the fun, grinding-heavy gameplay makes it one of my favorite games.

I hope you pick it up again after a decent-sized break from it. Too much Disgaea at once can be a bit draining, I'll admit.

[Ahadi]

I don't mind grinding in certain games. Like, I can grind for hours at a time in Pokemon/Mystery Dungeon, but like Disgaea's grinding just doesn't hook me. Maybe I'm not doing it right? I don't know... I'm pretty bummed about it, because the game is just so neat.

Saint's Row time! I hope I can finish off the story tonight... that would just be so good.

[dmaul1114]

I have absolutely no patience for grinding. I could tolerate it when I was a kid, but not anymore. Gaming shouldn't feel like work.

[blueshinra]

Well, putting it aside for awhile is probably a good thing. I find it very hard to play strategy RPGs back to back simply because they're so draining, and that goes double for Nippon Ichi's.

Also, have you been reincarnating your party members to higher classes (the ones that have classes, that is)? You can create some incredibly powerful party members that way. Sure, they start over at Lv. 1, but throw a couple in your party during trips to higher level Item Worlds, keep them out of danger, and you can level them up very quickly :) Oh, and make sure you always have a Mr. Gency's Exit on you!

[gunm]

Ultimately, I must be ok with grinding because I keep going back to MMOs. >_<

[hankmecrankme]

Finally got a R2 beta code. I pretended I didn't care about getting one since the game is coming out in 2 weeks, but I'm pretty happy I do have it now.

Now I just have to play the waiting game since it looks to take forever to download.

Any of you guys get one? Looks like if you signed up for one you'll most likely get one.

A friend shared the R2 beta with me. I haven't played too much of it though. What I did play seemed solid.

I have just over 100 PS2 games, 88 PS1 games, 63 PC, 19 GC 46 DC, 26 Xbox, 30 ish Saturn, 5 360, and 8 PS3 games, not counting XBLA and PSN games. Not to mention a bunch of older games that I've been selling lately. I had like 25 360 games, but I cut that down because I didn't want them anymore. I've owned over 140 PS1 games, but I sold a bunch. I've sold maybe 25 PS2 games, and more than a few Xbox and GC games.

Yeah I have a backlog. ;)

I get hooked on grinding once in a while. I filled in the Sphere Grid with Auron and Yuna in FFX. I was working on Lulu when I stopped.

[DarthPuma]

I want in the REsistance beta, but at the same time I don't. Like, I don't want it to be so good I buy the game.

Didn't like the single player on the first, so I doubt I'd like R2.

[Jest]

I own like 6 games and I have a backlog :P

[Jesus_S_Preston]

TMK you gaming ho

[blueshinra]

I own like 6 games and I have a backlog :P
How did you manage that? o_O

Bought DDR Supernova 2 and DDRX before going in to work this morning, so that's more for my own backlog. I would like to start playing them soon, though.

[Azumangaman]

How is co-op in Fable 2? Anybody tried it yet.
Need to start-up on my article soon (have an intro going) and I'll finish it later tonight.
Now, time for gamez!

[I_Am_ProZac]

Yay, just got into the Resistance 2 beta. First time I've gotten into a beta that wasn't just download and play.

As far as keeping games, I've only ever sold two games... Mario and Luigi partners in time (b/c I hated it) and Super Mario RPG (b/c I'm an idiot). I guess I did sell my genesis, which I regret, but I needed the money. My dad (which he technically owned it) sold the Playstation, and I would have liked to keep most of those games. I like to go back and play my NES games (which I have like 100 of) so that's why I cling to what I have. I always think "maybe 10 years from now I'll want to get into some retro gaming". Let's see... probably around 100 NES games, 20 SNES, 30 GBC, 8 N64, 30 GCN, 30 PS2, 10 Wii, 2 PS3, 10 DS. So about 250 games. And that's my lifes worth... feels like I don't have much compared to some of you people, but I guess I'm just more stingy with what I buy.

[hankmecrankme]

I played Portal Stay Alive on XBLA. Man, I'll never play Portal on anything but a PC. Textures, framerate, and resolution all take a hit. From looking at it, it should fly on 360. There's like nothing really going on to make it chug, yet it does.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Portal on Orange Box ran fine on 360.

Hey, I'm gonna finish my Mass Effect Insane playthrough tomorrow.

[hankmecrankme]

Compared to the PC version on a decent machine, it chuggs on 360.

/PC snob post.

[depascal22]

Played a little Burnout Paradise earlier. Thrown me a friend request on XBL if you wanna throw down on some Freeburn.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Maybe it's just Still Alive? Because I don't mean "fine", I mean I never had a problem with anyone slowdown or frame rate evar.

[hankmecrankme]

Maybe. I've never played TOB Portal on 360.

[depascal22]

I didn't have any problems with Portal and the Orange Box either.

[manthing]

I rather have $11 than it sitting on my shelf un-played getting $0. I considered selling it on CAG, but didn't really push it hard because once you figure in shipping, paypal fees, and so on, I'd probably make $2-$3 more, and there's still the chance I'd be scammed (and after being scammed, I'm more likely to trade stuff into GS because being out $60 of games still hurts me now).



Dude, you spent $50 on P3... You LOST $40...


I thought engineers were GOOD at math...


BTW Terry, that's crack/methhead math...

'How much can this get me right now...'


No matter how you try to spin it, you got RIPPED THE Fuck OFF!!


Arcade Narc was awesome.

[MarkMan]

I agree.

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

[gunm]

Speaking of Resistance 2, I just got a beta code today. I will try it out tonight maybe.

[whoknows]

Speaking of Resistance 2, I just got a beta code today. I will try it out tonight maybe.

Better start downloading that. It's over 2gigs. I'm still waiting here at 8%.

[hankmecrankme]

I downloaded the R2 Beta in like 40 minutes. It was blazing fast for once.

[whoknows]

Well aren't you special.

;)

[hankmecrankme]

Well aren't you special.

;)

QFT.

:D

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I've always thought hankme was pretty special.

Special still means retarded, right?

[DarthPuma]

Somewhere share the beta with me!

And yeah, don't buy a rock band hit kit set from best buy. it's a piece. With the silencers on, using the new drumsticks, and using the new kick pedal, I dropped from a 94 on The Hand That Feeds on Hard to an 84. The kick pedal drops notes like fucking crazy. The silencer stick combo ups the rebound a lot somehow, but because of the silencers on there I dropped a lot of notes because I play soft in parts.

Oh well, had to get a new kick so my sisters wouldn't care I broke mine. I'm buying World tour on saturday anways. :D

[Moxio]

ChocolatePoopma, how are you liking Fable II? Remember, you can always send it my way. :wave:

[DarthPuma]

I've only put a tiny amount of time in. Like, I just got to bowerstone and met up with the old bitch.

I like it so far, but I'm really disappointed by the lack of polish. Everything, just seems....rough.


I'll put some serious time into it after Dead Space. Chapter 7 is really pissing me off. It's hard and I have no ammo.

[hankmecrankme]

I've always thought hankme was pretty special.

Special still means retarded, right?

Nah, I'm just old and jaded. I'm like that cranky old man that chases kids off of his lawn. I am getting slow. . .:oldman:

Damn, I need to play something, anything. Maybe I'll play Outrun 2006 PC while I figure out what I want to play?

[RelentlessRolento]

I just got the beta code to resistance as well... I'm not in a hurry to play it but I'll start the download in a bit.

[Moxio]

Instead of calling you ReRo, could I call you WeeWo? You know, like a baby?

[mrchainsaw]

So my plan for the night was to head over to the gym and workout before bed buuuuuut it's raining so I guess I'll just have to stay in and play more Castlevania. That crab. Oh! Major plot twist!(just in case) boss was a bitch. It must've taken me 20 tries before I beat it.

[RelentlessRolento]

Instead of calling you ReRo, could I call you WeeWo? You know, like a baby?


fine by me, as long as a pacifier is involved :bouncy:

Whats better, a Wii Classic Controller, 3rd party classic controller or adapter + SNES controller?

Or do i just buy an SNES and play real games and not just VC? :D

[MarkMan]

A SFC Classic Controller or an Adapter + SNES controller works well.

But I really like the new Datel Classic/Retro Controller. Wireless and doesn't need to plug into a Wii remote.

[DarthPuma]

Buy a snes.

Yeah, dead space can go to hell. I'm completely stuck. Not enough ammo to finish the level up to a store, and not possible to run away. If I don't figure out a way around it soon the games going back to blockbuster because I'm not fucking starting from my last save, which I think is like 2 or 3 chapters back.

[corrosivefrost]

So my plan for the night was to head over to the gym and workout before bed buuuuuut it's raining so I guess I'll just have to stay in and play more Castlevania. That crab. Oh! Major plot twist!(just in case) boss was a bitch. It must've taken me 20 tries before I beat it.

That was the hardest boss so far. Just kind of annoying more than really hard.

[Rei no Otaku]

You don't alternate between 2 or 3 save slots in your games?

[DarthPuma]

I need to get in on one of those DS castlevanias.

I'll I've played is Drac X/symphony of the night on psp, and I didnt' really like either.

EDIT:

Rei, I had been, but forgot to keep doing that a couple chapters back.

So it seems the guitar hero cymbals break easy. I now have honestly no idea which bundle to go with.

[hankmecrankme]

I would probably destroy a Rock Band drum kit. I have 2 crash cymbals that are damn near destroyed, I've pounded a snare head in about 4 inches (it was old), and my current one is losing its coating fast. I've put a stick through a tom head too.

I don't play that hard anymore. :)

[mrchainsaw]

I don't know how someone could dislike SotN but the DS ones are a little bit different so they might be worth a shot.

As for that boss, it sucked because it took so long so I had plenty of time to screw it up. As for the end of the battle, my first time to the top I didn't realize I could go up so I kept fighting it wondering just how much HP it had :D .

[DarthPuma]

The PSP port wasn't very good.

I didn't like the lack of knowing what to do though.

Random fact:

Picross DS is still the best game on the system.

[RelentlessRolento]

I hate how I still can't post anything on NeoGaf...

[Jest]

I wish I could afford one of those SFC classic controllers :-(

[Rei no Otaku]

I hate how I still can't post anything on NeoGaf...
Why not?

[DarthPuma]

I like how I have 22 itouch apps and I don't even have a damn itouch. >.<

Really hoping TWEWY comes tomorrow. I'm hankering for a good DS game.

Might dig into mother 3 tomorrow. Great game, just wish it was *ahem* on the ds.

For touch screen features.

or something.

[jer7583]

So remember that sweet deal on trading my ps3 for a 360 elite and a wii?

I traded the 360 elite to some dude today for a 16GB iPod touch and $50.

Thank you, PS3, and thank you dumb people for giving me things I like. This thing is nice.

[Kendal]

Anyone have the Fable II guide? I wanna know if it has all the silver key locations and gargoyles locations. If it does, I might have to get it. I wanna pound out some cheezmintz before I finish the game and before Fallout 3 gets here on Tuesday.

[DarthPuma]

Wait, do you still have a 360?

And seeing as how a 16 gig can be had for a little over 220, I wouldn't say that's a great deal.

But shit, I'll buy that Wii for 150!

[RelentlessRolento]

Why not?


they have to approve you... takes forever... been a few months or near half a year already.

[Nelo Ice]

i wish i had a private email so i could register on neogaf >_>

[corrosivefrost]

Me too. I had 1 HP left. No healing items. Scary shit when I realized what I had to do while dodging the bubbles...

[Rei no Otaku]

But shit, I'll buy that Wii for 150!
Don't waste your money.

[DarthPuma]

What the fuck, you can't use a hotmail account for neo gaf?!

Good thing I still have an sbcglobal email since my ISP is Yahoo.

I registered as ChocolotePuma.

Rei, that was a joke.
That said, if I came across a wii for that price, I would buy it without hesitation.

[whoknows]

Don't waste your money.

:rofl:

[Rei no Otaku]

I was approved like a month ago. Took like 4 days...

[corrosivefrost]

Takes like a year. I've been waiting for at least 6 months.

[jer7583]

And seeing as how a 16 gig can be had for a little over 220, I wouldn't say that's a great deal.

But shit, I'll buy that Wii for 150!

Yeah the elite was an extra one. Show me where I can get a 16 gig for 220.. they're $300 retail and about $280 on amazon marketplace. Either way amazon doesn't let me sell the elite because it's too popular, and using the non-official listing they sell for around $260 with $50 taken off commission and a meager $4 shipping credit.

I was asking for $300 on craigslist, but a $260 device and $50 was good too. I sold the Wii for $250 cash, which was low too. All in all, I got about $350 cash and a 16GB ipod touch for my PS3 80GB + MGS4. Plus no fees or shipping.

[DarthPuma]

There are refurbs on fleabay for 235, with 25 percent cashback.

Brand new ones are like 3 bills, 225 after cashback.

[jer7583]

ah well the thing about ebay is I had a string of thieves do chargebacks on my account a few years back for a few hundred dollars worth of items I shipped out to them and they decided they weren't going to pay for, 6-9 months later.

Paypal didn't believe me that I sent the items out, even with DC numbers, and I'm pretty much banned from paypal because people stole from me and I had an outstanding negative balance that I refused to pay.

Ebay is AWESOME.

[DarthPuma]

That's gay.

How do you like the iTouch? I'm still planning on picking one up myself, just postponing it till christmas ish.

[jer7583]

it's pretty good so far. I downloaded this 99 cent motorbike game that is pretty cool. I need to hook it up to my computer yet.

[I_Am_ProZac]

Anyone else get in a Resistance 2 game yet? I tried, I get connection time outs on joining ones I select, and the "searching for ranked game" goes on endlessly. I'm going to blame my crappy router, that likes to disconnect me every 20 minutes, but I'd think I could at least connect despite that... I have no problem downloading and such.

[whoknows]

I'm still waiting for it to finish downloading.

I'm pretty excited to play it though, probably my most anticipated game this year aside from one other I won't mention.

[I_Am_ProZac]

well, at least now, I'm getting "matchmaking failed". Try again later/tommorrow

[jer7583]

Having Pandora on an iPod is AWESOME.

I want to start Dragon Quest 8, but I'm not going to kid myself into thinking i'm going to really play it with fallout in a few days..

Maximo was a great game.

[hankmecrankme]

Maximo busted my balls.

[The Mana Knight]

Dude, you spent $50 on P3... You LOST $40...


I thought engineers were GOOD at math...


BTW Terry, that's crack/methhead math...

'How much can this get me right now...'


No matter how you try to spin it, you got RIPPED THE Fuck OFF!!
So, I bought PGR on Xbox for $50 new at launch and traded it in to GameStop for $0.14. Now that's a big loss. I honestly don't care, because I make money and lose money on games (I made money on trading Brawl in at GameStop, when I only paid $26 for it on Amazon. Please understand this wasn't intentional, because I had Brawl for a few months and played it a few times. Since I wanted new games, didn't play it much, I decided to trade it in with Sega Rally Revo). For the most part, unless a game is next gen, I want it out of my possession. I just don't care much right now about older gaming, since I'm sucked into online + HDTVs (which is why I play PS3 and 360 the most).

I downloaded the R2 Beta in like 40 minutes. It was blazing fast for once.On my end, it started out slow. Once I restarted the download (paused and restarted, so I'd hopefully connect to another server), it was crazy fast. I mean, I went from 52% to 100% in less than 10 minutes (no joke).

Anyway, I played some Wipeout HD online and downloaded the R2 beta. Tomorrow morning I'll hopefully play (or afternoon). I shouldn't have problems connecting since I've configured my router well for PSN (opened all ports and stuff, explains why my download speeds are pretty good).

[corrosivefrost]

Maximo busted my balls.

I dunno why everyone was all "maximo is gangsta hard". Shit wasn't anywhere near the insanity of the old school ghouls n' ghosts or ghosts n' goblins.

[jer7583]

Jellycar was actually a fun game.

Hearing that lbpbpbpbppblbllbllbbblblb tongue + lips + blowing noise as the throttle was half the fun though.

Must be what it's like to be a crazy person.

[hankmecrankme]

I dunno why everyone was all "maximo is gangsta hard". Shit wasn't anywhere near the insanity of the old school ghouls n' ghosts or ghosts n' goblins.

True, that shit was diamond hard. I think, as a kid, I had a higher tolerance for bullshit and cheap shots.

Fantasia on Genesis though. . . :bomb:

yeah, I share the same confusion... was pretty damn easy to be honest.

[corrosivefrost]

Some of the platforming was a bit wonky in places, but I think the main part of it was these whippersnappers with their regenerating health and infinite continues don't know what old-school games were like. :roll:

[jer7583]

It's hard, but not frustratingly so. I just wish there were more saving opportunities and the grim reaper wasn't so stingy about continues.. lol.

[hankmecrankme]

The platforming and riding the logs while dealing with alligators did me in. X_X

The hardest games I'll play now are DMC and Ninja Gaiden.

[corrosivefrost]

In my opinion, those are harder, but not unmanageable... DMC3 moreso than any other entry in those 2 series.

[whoknows]

Speaking of DMC, I just played some of DMC4 today.

Such an awesome game. My second favorite game so far this year.

[Kendal]

So my power is out so no gaming till that comes back. Just about to do laundry and play more Fable Dos: Whore Simulator XXX. Thank god for friends with shitty sleeping habbits and internet and power!

[I_Am_ProZac]

Finally can connect to Resistance 2 games, but I can't stay in any b/c of my damn router... guess I'm buying a new one tomorrow.

[corrosivefrost]

Speaking of DMC, I just played some of DMC4 today.

Such an awesome game. My second favorite game so far this year.

I liked DMC4 -- Ichigo as Nero was a nice touch. I just didn't appreciate the borderline halfass level design for the second half of the game.

[hankmecrankme]

I think that Maximo just pissed me off and I was in no mood to deal with it at the time. Now I'd probably keep playing. I've got NG's patterns memorized, so it's pretty easy up until very hard. DMC is mostly the same way. DMC3 is pretty damn hard at times though.

[whoknows]

I liked DMC4 -- Ichigo as Nero was a nice touch. I just didn't appreciate the borderline halfass level design for the second half of the game.

It kind of bothered me, but really, the game is more about the combat so it wasn't a big deal IMO.

[dmaul1114]

I gave up on Maximo pretty quickly. But of course I fucking hate hard games. I play to chill out and relax. FPS are about the only games I'll put up with a challenge any more. Otherwise I'd prefer to just play something like Oblivion where I can put the difficulty down a bit and just veg and enjoy the questing, story etc.

[RelentlessRolento]

psssht!!!!!!!! you guys are lame. those games hard?

then you haven't played....

I liked playing as Nero, so being forced into Dante and pushed through the same stages and same bosses felt like a cop out to me. Great game though. Might be my favorite DMC. I should go back and play the bloody palace... or maybe playthrough on human. Stupid non-stacking cheesemints. :\

I know what you mean about DMC4. But keep in mind DMC1 did the exact.same.thing. I still enjoyed it a lot though. I'd probably play through it again to get some trophies. Not some insane ones though. Especially the secret missions. I think it's SM11 is the Dante blocking one. What a terrible idea that one is. Just horrible.

Speaking of Trophies, I just got a 2nd Platinum Trophy.

[whoknows]

Dante has all his styles, so I had no problem playing as him. Each character has his strong suits. The only thing is the bosses were obviously made with Nero in mind, so they weren't as exciting/cool when you fought them as Dante.


And 74% on the R2 beta. Only some more % to go.

I don't remember DMC making me fight the same bosses twice, but as a different character. Backtracking from the fight with Mundus to the castle to escape, yes, but fighting all the major bosses twice? Maybe the spider, definitely Virgil, but not Griffin or Nightmare... though I'm not sure on nightmare... at least DMC4 didn't turn into a shooter at the final form of the last boss. ;)

I hated the styles in DMC3, so seeing them in DMC4 didn't do much for me. Nero played a lot closer to what Dante was in DMC so I think that's why I liked him best... that... and the devil arm is just fucking slick.

[corrosivefrost]

R2 beta downloaded in less than 1 hour. :whee:

[whoknows]

What didn't you like about the styles?

[I_Am_ProZac]

R2 beta downloaded in less than 1 hour. :whee:

I got it in less than 20 minutes, but I've got uber-connection. Liking it so far, but damn it's been a long time since I played an fps on console... like Halo 2 long time, and even that I didn't play much. Wish I had a mouse, so I could use the sniper super-effectively.

[whoknows]

I've been downloading it for 3 hours now and its at 86%. I hate all of you. Seriously.

Not really...yet ;)

[Ahadi]

Okay. I've got 2 missions left in Saints Row. I can safely say that this is a game I'm not going to hold on to. The biggest turn off for me right now is that I need to fill my respect meter to tackle the last few missions. I've wiped out all the gangs and am working on taking out Ultor. Either way, this is stupid tedious now. But aside from that, and some minor frustration making me lower the difficulty level, this is one of the best games I've played this year. Excellent story, fun gameplay, and good humor. I'd say pick this one up at the $30> price tag.

[RelentlessRolento]

gnight guys... I'll be up early. taking my dreamcast to work tomorrow to play all day :)

Of the new releases I've played this year, this is one of the better. Force Unleashed, SR2, UT3, and maybe one or two other titles. :lol: Yeah. A sad year indeed :lol:

No headset for me too apparently. I can't find my bluetooth one.

It's just so damn tiny it's easy to lose.

I just haven't bothered to buy one. All I play on PS3 online is SCIV and T5DR.

When I play VF5 360 online, nobody talks, even though most people with 360s probably have a headset.

In GoW, everybody talks. :)

[whoknows]

Played 2 deathmatch games in R2 so far, and the controls/shooting are definitely more solid than they were in the first game. Makes me even more excited for the game to be released.

Up to level 10 in Dead Space. I don't like thatthe fast twitchy things are onboard the Ishimura now

Those thing creep me out...



I honestly didn't think I'd like Dead Space as much as I do...

And Dead Space is definately building my anticipation for RE5


---------------------------


TMK, why the hell would you trade a game for 14¢?

At that point, why wouldn't you just keep it?

I mean, I still have Perfect Dark Zero cause it ain't worth sh*t, and I HATE that fucking game

:bomb:

[jer7583]

The Mana Knight does some strange things.

Maximo is awesome. It's just that whole notion of "No way to recover from death traps and save points spread out over multiple hours of gameplay" thing that gets me.

My new PS2 slim is loud as fuck when I put Raiden 3 in. It's a CD game so I think it's just spinning faster, but Maximo doesn't do it.. it makes like a loud clicking/ticking sound when the disc is spinning. Hrm.

[dmaul1114]

Finally done with Kirby Super Star Ultra, as done as I'm going to get anyway. Really hated the last few parts. I hate boss rush modes. But I slogged through the arena to see what I'd unlock. What do I get, another friggin' boss rush mode. Beat Hero to Helper with one character and got nothing. Looks like you have to either beat Arena completely or finish Hero to Helper with all 13 characters to unlock the rest which is another friggin boss rush mode and another lame sounding button pressing mini game. Fuck that.

Time to put it on goozex, which works out well as it goes for $35 of points when the game cost $30. Overall the game was decent, but I had a hard time getting into it since it was just a bunch of short games and miini games. I'd have prefered just one long Kirby game. I'd probably give it a 6.5/10 overall.

[Ahadi]

So you're on the Ultor Missions then?

By the time I was doing the last of the Brotherhood missions (they were the 3rd gang I took on), I had level 6 style and infinite respect. 8-)

I've got a level 6 style, but no infinite respect! How'd you pull that off?

Is Kirby Super Star worth playing through if someone played the fuck out of the SNES version?

Is Kirby Super Star worth playing through if someone played the fuck out of the SNES version?

No, I don't think the extra content on the DS version is worth it unless you're dying to replay the core game. Just some silly touch screen mini-games.

At any rate, that was fast! Already got a match on Goozex which is good as I can mail it out this afternoon before going out of town for a week tomorrow. I really love that site, has got me to play more games for much less cost.

[The Mana Knight]

I took this gaming quiz at another forum, and this is what I got:


The Helping Hand

Deliberate Sociable Fun Veteran (DSFV)

Generous, helpful, kind...a few of many positive attributes people see in you, the Helping Hand. Nothing satisfies you more than helping your teammates or friends out in all the games that you play. You may even look to assist people in some cases if there is no one around asking for help. In fact, the enjoyment that you receive from helping people rivals that of solving a puzzle, winning a battle, or achieving a hard objective in a game.

Heavily social intensive games tend to be what you enjoy the most although you can probably find something to take pleasure in with most games. For instance, if you happen to find yourself in a competitive first person shooter, you'd probably take the support class. We recommend you stick to games (and crowds!) where people will appreciate you more; these include more casual gamers seeking fun and excitement from games rather than the serious competitive ones.
http://www.mygamemug.com/results.php?t=DSFV

The results are right because that sounds exactly like me. I'll go out of my way to create Warhawk and Burnout Paradise games to create games for friends, and help them out with trophies. I am heavy casual with some games and usually enjoy the casual Wii games more than most (I kind of like Wii Sports), but it's other issues that keep me from being a big Wii fan.

I played some R2 beta this morning. First match was pretty crazy. Got into a smaller match doing well and really enjoyed it, but I had to quit early since I thought my Mom and I were going somewhere (then she changed her mind, so all that experienced I gained was lost. :-( ). I'll play again shortly.

[dmaul1114]

I took this gaming quiz at another forum, and this is what I got:


That is pretty neat, mine was pretty spot on as well. Especially the bolded part.


The Average Joe
Deliberate Competitive Fun Learner (DCFL)
The Entertainment Software Association has this to say about the average gamer:

* The average game player is 33 years old and has been playing games for 12 years.
* The average game buyer is 40 years old.

We're going to go out on a limb and say you are very likely neither of these. So then, one might ask, who is the average gamer? Who is this mythical creature that no one can accurately describe? Here's our guess: someone like you.

So while you could care less about the evolution of video games and probably don't view games as anything more than pure entertainment, you do enjoy playing video games when you get the chance to. You love a few competitive short-session games and although you probably will occasionally shout at the screen, you'll probably stay silent on the mic to other players. Although you don't play too much, you are easy going enough to give most other types of gamers a try to play with.

[Toolus]

You want hard games? I am impressed with anyone that can make it through "I Wanna Be The Guy".

The Game Guru
Deliberate Competitive Fun Veteran (DCFV)
Your knowledge of gaming knows no bounds, Game Guru. You are the person many gamers go to when they have questions and generally most of the time, you have the right answers for them. You are unlikely to tie yourself into just playing one game, as it limits your expertise and experience you may gain from play others. It seems you love to learn everything about games, - the characters, the secrets, the developer, etc. Perhaps you should start a blog if you haven't already.

You typically don't like to hang around too long within a game and therefore avoid the more socially demanding ones. Playing quick rounds or small sessions are more your cup of tea. Once you've had your fun, it's back to the magazines, gaming blogs, forums, and the like where you can share your vast knowledge of all things video games.

They were in easy/normal, but once you start getting up to the harder difficulties, then they aren't as big of pushovers as they were before.



Also R2=hot stuff. Looks to be shooter of the year. True, there's not much competition in the near future, since all there is that I can think of is COD5, but still...

The Game Master
Deliberate Sociable Serious Veteran (DSSV)
As the GM, you are the most committed and responsible. You have gained many friends through all your games, and they highly respect your abilities and experience. Although you can be a pretty hardcore gamer, you act online just like you do in real life - mature and sociable. We like that - so please don't change.

You are typically elected the leader when a game requires it; so don't hesitate to take control. Your style and finesse are needed, even if you rather not. Why settle for someone else who sucks leading the team?

You love games and play across the board with different people in different genres. Game Masters are the easiest to match, since you are easy-going enough to handle the extreme gamers and still have fun.

Close, I suppose.

[corrosivefrost]

I've got a level 6 style, but no infinite respect! How'd you pull that off?

Probably my OCD.

When I start an activity, I have to finish it, at least 3 levels, if not 6, no matter how much respect I needed, just for the bonuses.

FPS probably... overall shooter? gears 2 will trash it.

The Accidental Gamer
Deliberate Sociable Fun Learner (DSFL)
Well hello there! Based off your answers to the test, we think you are the Accidental Gamer, or what some people might call the "Casual Gamer". However, here at MyGameMug, we believe a "casual gamer" is a hard term to accurately describe. We think you don't really play online games that much or at all. You most likely 'accidentally' stumbled into online platform or PC gaming or recently started playing online and have developed some sort of curiosity.

Seeing how you've taken the time to complete this test, we will assume that you have experience in gaming, enjoy it, are level headed, and you are looking for people to play with. However, it is clear that you prefer to do other things to occupy your free time. Our recommendation is for you to play more video games online - who knows, you might 'accidentally' meet someone cool from MyGameMug if you do!

Your top 3 matches are:

Frocer
The Average Joe eyao
The Game Guru RayStorm
The Cyberathlete


That sound's about right.

Meh. I'm far enough in that I'm probably just going to see if there's a cheat code for respect. I mean... seriously, I need to gain one more neighborhood.

If Gears 2 is anything like the first one (which it probably will be) I'd say no, not at all. That game bored me to tears.

[Ahadi]

How does one get a Resistance 2 code? Is it too late to grab one? Maybe someone has an extra... I don't plan on getting Gears and I'm going to need some type of shooter...

[whoknows]

I got mine from here: https://beta.myresistance.net/en-us/Apply/BetaForm

I think today is the last day to sign up. If you want to go the easy route though, you could just pre-order at GS and they'll give you a code.

[dmaul1114]

If Gears 2 is anything like the first one (which it probably will be) I'd say no, not at all. That game bored me to tears.

The first one is still easily my favorite game of this generation and one my favorites of all time. And I barely played it online at all as I played it at a friends when it first came out as I didn't have a 360 at the time and only bought my own copy this spring.

Needless to say I can't wait for the second and really don't care about any other fall games. Doubt I'll buy any others as I'll be busy with Gears 2 and Oblivion on top of being swamped with work. Other stuff can wait until next year when I can get it off Goozex.

Gears 1 is easily one of the best co-op game I've played. Last Thanksgiving, my best friend and I marathoned it, and this Thanksgiving we're going to push through the second one. Oh so good.... :drool:

[botticus]

My quiz result was TMK. Hmm.


The Helping Hand
Deliberate Sociable Fun Veteran (DSFV)
Generous, helpful, kind...a few of many positive attributes people see in you, the Helping Hand. Nothing satisfies you more than helping your teammates or friends out in all the games that you play. You may even look to assist people in some cases if there is no one around asking for help. In fact, the enjoyment that you receive from helping people rivals that of solving a puzzle, winning a battle, or achieving a hard objective in a game.

Heavily social intensive games tend to be what you enjoy the most although you can probably find something to take pleasure in with most games. For instance, if you happen to find yourself in a competitive first person shooter, you'd probably take the support class. We recommend you stick to games (and crowds!) where people will appreciate you more; these include more casual gamers seeking fun and excitement from games rather than the serious competitive ones.
Not wrong, other than the heavily social intensive games part. I think that happens if you pick the Medic.

The game was just too repetitive for me. I wanted to like it, I really really did, but I didn't. I was forcing myself to play it at one point, but once I realized that's what I was doing I sold it.

Definitely. At my buddy's house we played through in Casual and Hardcore in marathons when it first came out.

And when I got my copy this year I played through it in hardcore and insane in marathons with another buddy.

I'll be doing the same with him when Gears 2 comes out. Having it delivered to our office with release date delivery from Amazon, and as soon as it arrives we're taking off, hitting the liquor store for some tasty micro brews and going to plow through as much as we can.

Fair enough, to each his own. I've been that way with many games, most recently GTAIV. I still regret wasting 21 hours on it before giving up on the boring, repetitive piece of shit.

[whoknows]

:lol:

I still haven't gotten GTA4 because I never really enjoyed any of the others. People say this one is far better, but I don't believe it.

Haha. I bought the first one, my friend is buying the second. Fair trade 8-)

But really, I don't think you can really match the local co-op atmosphere with like... any next gen title. Except maybe the Halo's or Star Wars Battlefront(with my friends at least)

Don't. I hated GTA 3 and took a chance on this one from the hype saying it was much better. It is definitely better, but not enough to make people like us who didn't like the series enjoy it.

I don't think it is any better, it's GTA with improved graphics. I didn't find it enjoyable at all. The first GTA game I ever spent a significant amount of time with was San Andreas, and it was great, because of the novelty. GTA4 felt the same except things looked a bit different, same linear missions. It just wasn't any fun. Played one and you've played em all IMO.

The one improvement I saw was that the combat was much improved. The aiming was done better, and the cover system helped a lot though the controls could still have been better.

But like I said, it's not enough to change the mind of someone like you or I that haven't enjoyed the series.



And definitely don't take RB to Gamestop. Sell it locally on Craig's List. You'll come out much better.

[Krymner]

Hiya GGT! Haven't had much time for gaming. Just had inventory at work so I've been kinda busy. But now inventory is over and I can return to what passes for normalcy in my life. :)

I agree with benjamouth about GTAIV. I actually thought it would be a different experience from all the other GTA games that came before. Sadly I was mistaken. Not to say that its a bad game, its just not as big a step up as GTA3 was from GTA2.

Seriously, I think there needs to be more The Sims-like options in the next GTA, and just more stuff to do in general. I want to be a pimp, dammit.

I did start up Persona 3 FES: The Answer.

Yah, from the most recent patch. When they start translating into in-game goodies, I'll be more excited. :p

I don't know if this was directed at my post TFN, but if it was I'd say you have a point that games are repetitive but there's good repetitive and bad repetitive.

For example I played Bully just after trying GTA4 (seems like a good comparison) and it felt new, there were a lot of good missions which were fun and even the stuff that you could do outside of the missions used a lot of new ideas. Whereas GTA4 felt like exactly the same game I'd played years before, none of it felt fun or new, it all seemed like a chore.

GTA wasn't really about trying new things, but more like sticking to the same formula that worked so well and adding a few things here and there to help keep you from boredom (cover system, gps, targeting system).

I guess I just don't get how you could shit on a game for being repetitive when you're riding a first person shooter's penis. I remember playing Resistance years ago, back when it was called Killzone, and the terrible looking aliens hadn't infected the world yet. :dunce:

True that. Most of the FPS and shooters make very little adjustments but people act like it's the Gaming Revolution. I'm playing F.E.A.R. right now and it's as good as any of the other FPS that have come out in the last two years.

[tiredfornow]

You mean the time warp isn't a gaming revolution?

Remember Braid and how repetitive that was? You don't even do shit, just go back in time all day. WEEEE-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!

...God, that game sucks.

[jer7583]

http://gamevideos.1up.com/video/id/22236

this is the craziest video i've seen in a long time. I keep watching it for some reason. And I kind of want wii music just to make batshit insane things like that.

But not For $50.

And F.E.A.R is a great game. A greater game than Resistance. I played it and it was just a bit dull. Resistance was a better call of duty game than Call of Duty 4 or 2 were, but it was still kinda meh. Not having high hopes for the sequel to get rid of the hollowness of the guns or the "floating over the ground" feel of your character.

Play Far Cry 2 if you want a new experience in a shooter. Or Left 4 Dead, that looks like it's doing some interesting, new ideas.

[whoknows]

Wait, a game being repetitive = bad?

Every single video game you play is repetitive. :dunce:

You could make that argument, but when a game is repetitive to the point that it's boring, then yeah, that=bad. And with Gears, it was boring. Run 5 feet, take cover, shoot a wave of enemies. Run another 5 feet and take cover. Repeat for the rest of the game.

Not that fun IMO. Some people enjoy it, and that's good. More power to them.

[jer7583]

I really don't understand how that's different than Resistance when you remove what platform they're on.

That game really dragged near the end as well.. the enemies rarely even had variation, and even though the guns were weird all you ever really had to use was the sniper rifle, shotgun, and that alien rifle that shot targeting bullets..

Resistance had vehicles, and the occasional bullet sponge huge dude.

Gears had the vehicle section, the light-dark gameplay, greater variation in enemies, and multiplayer/co-op that was more than an afterthought. But it's an Xbox game, so it automatically loses points from the beginning.

[The Mana Knight]

playing the R2 beta is RLY awesome and fun....day1 for meHeck yeah it is. I just played some 8 player co-op and that was some of the most fun I had all year. Also had fun during DM. Although I already preordered Resistance, it has SHOT up on my wishlist just under LBP and VC. The beta is too much fun.

That was playing playing the beta with you and others whoknows (in that co-op match). I enjoyed being the medic.

[tiredfornow]

You guys play Dynasty Warriors Orochi Saga. #-o

[jer7583]

I don't understand why people will gush over that bullshit co-op mode in R2 that's just a bullshit version of TF2 vs the fucking AI and ignore the brilliance of Team Fortress 2. (it was ignored on consoles, anyway)

When something is PS3 exclusive it just becomes INSTANTLY AWESOME in some people's eyes, though.

Yeah, that was badass. Can't wait to be able to play more when the full game is released. Co-op was even better than I thought it would be. I mean, I expected it to be awesome since it was 8 players, but that added with classes and the huge amounts of enemies thrown at you at once just blew me away.

Can't wait for the game! Glad I requested the 4th off. :D

The PS3 will definitely outsell the Gamecube sometime in 2009. They've currently got 5 million to go with the holidays coming up.

However, present numbers are present numbers. With one more week before the new PS3 bundles launch in Japan, there is a small chance that the PS3 will track below the Gamecube one last time (Japan)

Other comparisons: After 101 weeks, PS3 is where PS2 was at 22.0 weeks (July 29, 2000), where PSP was at 53.6 weeks (December 15, 2005), where GCN was at 102.5 weeks (August 27, 2003), and where Wii was at 24.0 weeks (May 13, 2007).

That quiz, I got:
The Daredevil
Reckless Competitive Fun Veteran (RCFV)
When playing video games, you look for excitement and excitement only - any game that doesn't offer it, gets pushed to the side. You are the Daredevil and you play games for the thrill. You have probably been gaming for quite awhile and one thing you have learned is that the high that some games give you is unmatched elsewhere in life.

You prefer the more exciting competitive games, although playing with anyone who takes it too seriously will turn you off. You generally look for games that offer constant excitement, quick load times, and few preparations. Anything that slows you down is detrimental to the overall experience you seek to achieve.

[zewone]

http://www.mygamemug.com/results.php?t=RCSV
The Terminator
Reckless Competitive Serious Veteran (RCSV)
You are the Terminator - you MUST win at any cost. You leave your friends in the dust. While others are out having fun, you're accomplishing those impossible missions. Discovering those secrets that take hours. You'll buy as many games as possible to become the best.

After you're done obliterating games as a single player, you take your domination to the online world. A sense of pleasure arises as you become the top scorer in every game you play - the more competitive it is, the better. If you happen to find people better than you, it doesn't faze you. Move on to beat everyone inferior first. Then go back and destroy your opponents with your new skills. No hurry. Especially when you enjoy stomping everyone who gets in your way.

Once you master every aspect of a game, the mission is complete. Time to move on to the next challenge. Old games will sit on your shelf collecting dust like trophies, reminders of your victories. Most games will appeal to you, across all genres. Teamwork annoys you, though, since it doesn't let you conquer all. But if your team is from Skynet as well, you'll have a blast.

Sounds almost right, except that I do like playing on a team.

That quiz, I got:
The Daredevil
Reckless Competitive Fun Veteran (RCFV)
When playing video games, you look for excitement and excitement only - any game that doesn't offer it, gets pushed to the side. You are the Daredevil and you play games for the thrill. You have probably been gaming for quite awhile and one thing you have learned is that the high that some games give you is unmatched elsewhere in life.

You prefer the more exciting competitive games, although playing with anyone who takes it too seriously will turn you off. You generally look for games that offer constant excitement, quick load times, and few preparations. Anything that slows you down is detrimental to the overall experience you seek to achieve.


Same. I hate these fucking things. Parts are true. Parts are not. Lowest common denominator for the lose.

I'm crazy bored. All I've got with me is Disgaea... I'm not sure if that's good or bad :lol: though I suppose I could fire it up and try to level a few more characters up a bit.

And I'm going to see the new Saw with a friend of mine for his birthday. Man dates for the win 8-)

Damn, TWEWY didn't come today. Strange because it arrived in OKC at like 2 this morning and I live less than 2.5 hours away from there.

oh well, it should at least be here tomorrow. It would be nice to take my ds on the 3 hour bus trip to our chamber choir contest next week, but I'd rather not get made fun of for bringing it.

I hate all of you that have teh r2 beta and don't share it.

EDIT:
When I pick up guitar hero on saturday night, should I do a live stream of me and my friends being dumbasses with it? I need an excuse to flip the EOJ bundle to blockbuster for the free camera.

What the-? I don't think I'm this other than the not-so-competitive part, but that's what I got:

The Helping Hand
Deliberate Sociable Fun Veteran (DSFV)
Generous, helpful, kind...a few of many positive attributes people see in you, the Helping Hand. Nothing satisfies you more than helping your teammates or friends out in all the games that you play. You may even look to assist people in some cases if there is no one around asking for help. In fact, the enjoyment that you receive from helping people rivals that of solving a puzzle, winning a battle, or achieving a hard objective in a game.

Heavily social intensive games tend to be what you enjoy the most although you can probably find something to take pleasure in with most games. For instance, if you happen to find yourself in a competitive first person shooter, you'd probably take the support class. We recommend you stick to games (and crowds!) where people will appreciate you more; these include more casual gamers seeking fun and excitement from games rather than the serious competitive ones.

one of my matches was a cute, elfish-looking azn girl though

I just support stuff I:

1) like
2) can afford

:p

QFT. I just play whatever I want, on whatever system I want. I'll never buy a Wii. My 360 plays VF5 and some XBLA and that's it. My PS3 is a bluray and fighter machine mostly. The bulk of my gaming is PS2 and PC. That's just how I am.

You can listen to others' views, but at the end of the day, you should play what you want to play on whatever you want to play it on. And more power to you.
