That must have been the most expensive commercial ever.

[Dr Mario Kart]

well well. I am going to receive a game on Goozex from our very own slidecage (Panzer Tactics DS)

Same here, I'm looking forward to the Netfix viewing.

[Kendal]

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I hope I get in. Then I can bitch about the new look days before others. :D

[whoknows]

Went to GS with a friend today because he was trying to get a R2 beta code.

I happened to see a used Yggdra Union (PSP) marked at $15. I thought that was a little too cheap and upon looking closer it was tagged for Ys Arc of Napishtim. Being the daredevil that I am, I attempted to buy the game for that $15. Clerk noticed immediately and told me it was mismarked, but then said "whatever, I'll sell it to you at that price".

Lazy employee FTW!!

[Kendal]

In MI, i believe they would have to honor the price I believe. Maybe since it is clearly mismarked they might not. I know we had to sell some XBL 3 month codes for the price of 1 months because they were miss marked. It was at a GS.

[gunm]

Thanks for the link Nelo. Not sure I want to risk mucking up my 360 over some ugly ass avatars though. :p

[Mr. Anderson]

Ah, got out and skated today! Felt so great!

Now, to stay in and play FFXI or go out and get drunk.... hmmm...

[corrosivefrost]

gears2 and left4dead > resistance 2 by a mile! At least people have headsets on those..

i know i'm in the minority, but i'm not a fan of valve games. maybe l4d changes that. i doubt it.

Same here, I'm looking forward to the Netfix viewing.

:rofl: From what I read last, i thought (at least part of) the netflix functionality wasn't going to be ready for the nxe launch.

Thanks for the link Nelo. Not sure I want to risk mucking up my 360 over some ugly ass avatars though. :p

No thanks.

[whoknows]

I'm trying to play through Turok, but man, way too much person vs person fighting. I want to fight dinosaurs damnit!

[mrchainsaw]

Go out and get drunk and play games when you come back hammered. It makes gaming with other people more fun. :lol:

[DarthPuma]

Wow, skating. Have done that since I was like 13. I sucked bad. It's hard to be fat and stubby and skate. Wonder if I could do it now that I'm all skinny....


My little sister is fucking METAL! Her favorite RB2 song is visions. i have a vid of her trying to growl it, and it's fuckin hilarious.

[hankmecrankme]

I share the same opinion. Valve games are OK, but they aren't the best games ever like some people think.

[corrosivefrost]

I share the same opinion. Valve games are OK, but they aren't the best games ever like some people think.

I tried half life once. Never made it out of the lab.
Tried some counterstrike, didn't quite do it for me.
Tried a bit of Half Life 2, episode 2, didn't like it either.

[whoknows]

I share the same opinion. Valve games are OK, but they aren't the best games ever like some people think.

That's because they aren't the best games ever. Sure, some of them are good, but damn, they aren't THAT good.

[DarthPuma]

Play Asia really needs a free shipping code. I was going to buy a HRAP3 (on sale for 75) but it was going to cost 50 bucks to ship. Fuck that.

[SL4IN]

That's because they aren't the best games ever. Sure, some of them are good, but damn, they aren't THAT good.

I concur.

[DarthPuma]

Half Life 2 was amazing, and Team Fortress 2 is the best fps on the market. I haven't finished Portal. Other than that, I agree that they aren't that awesome.

[SL4IN]

Spider-Man: web of shadows on DS is like, really good.

[Rei no Otaku]

Portal and Half-Life 2 were awesome. Left 4 Dead looks really good. While I wouldn't say they're the best developer out there, I will say they're close to the top.

[hankmecrankme]

That's because they aren't the best games ever. Sure, some of them are good, but damn, they aren't THAT good.
TRUF. PC reviewers act like they are untouchable.

[DarthPuma]

I think Bungie is the best developer out there. I mean, they made Halo mother fuggin 3. What's valve got on that shiiit?

[Moxio]

Half-Life 2?

[corrosivefrost]

whether you intended it or not, that might be the funniest thing I've ever read. :lol:

yeah, I watched a video of it a few days ago and was completely surprised. reminded me of a mix of the old Ninja Gaiden games mixed with Devil May Cry.

[whoknows]

Half-Life 2?

I bet you think you're better than the rest of us with your hyphens and punctuation.

[SL4IN]

yeah, I watched a video of it a few days ago and was completely surprised. reminded me of a mix of the old Ninja Gaiden games mixed with Devil May Cry.

It was made by the same guy that did Spyro: The Eternal Night on GBA. THAT was a surprisingly good gba game.

I expect the DS Web o Shadys to rate better than the console ones.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

How old is Puma? Like, 14?

So his little sister would be...

...pics nao.

I've been playing Condemned 2. It actually started to pick up in the Doll Factory (I'm in the museum now) and I'm not as pissed at it. But the first one is still 5 Boners Better.

[DarthPuma]

If I were to pick up a DS castlevania, which would be the best one? I might dump Civilization Revolution on Goozex for 700 points and get one.

I'd miss civ rev, but then I'd have an excuse to get civ 4 and play the good version of it.

I'm very nearly sixteen jeesus. She would be 11. I have a video uploaded to myspace, but I'm not posting it here.

[Rei no Otaku]

Dawn of Sorrow.

[corrosivefrost]

Dawn of Sorrow.

Yes. The new one isn't bad either. Portrait of Ruin lacked polish.

[SL4IN]

Yes. The new one isn't bad either. Portrait of Ruin lacked polish.

It lacked more than that.

[corrosivefrost]

It lacked more than that.

It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Part of the problem is living up to the standard DoS set. The other problem was it felt rushed, hence the lack of polish. Also, difficulty was uneven in places and it seemed buggy... but I'd still lump that in with polish. :\

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I'm very nearly sixteen jeesus. She would be 11.

...so...

...you hittin' that?

EDIT: Fuck Portrait of Ruin.

[mrchainsaw]

Dawn of Sorrow mos def.

I played PoR first, I just recently played DoS. Without ranting too much, I'll just say that PoR has made me incredibly weary of playing games that use a 2 person/teamwork mechanic from there on out. The whole last like, 2 hours of the game felt so much like a chore, I was so happy to finish it and then get rid of it. By far, the only DS game (out of like, 3 that I've parted with) that I have no intention of picking back up again.

I don't think I used the chick at all. Just Johnathan the whole time... unless there was a special section where the chick's magic actually worked well.

I was more disappointed that there were like 3 levels with palette swaps. :\

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Yeah, I never used Charlotte.

[SL4IN]

That too, and the fact that the entire second half of the game was just going back though the portraits you had already gone in, just backwards.

It's probably my biggest disappointment within the Castlevania series. But then again, the only Castlevanias that I've played are: Circle of the Moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Aria of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Dawn of Sorrow.

On the topic of having never played certain games, it wasn't until recently that I realized that I've never played a Duke Nukem game, and I've never played a Dynasty Warriors series game. What about everyone else?

[Jesus_S_Preston]

PoR also has one of the few moments in gaming that has legitimately made me call out, "BULLSHIT!" - When you fight the two sisters near the end of the game. They're very difficult to beat, and if you kill them, game over. If they kill you, game over. What do you do? You go back to some random ass portrait from three hours ago and use some new ability you just got to get a spell you need to defeat them. I can't remember getting any hint I was supposed to do this, and when I finally consulted GameFAQs, I was pissed.

I played Duke only on the N64. Never played Dynasty Warriors.

[hankmecrankme]

I've played about 15 minutes of PoR. And I don't think I'll go back anytime soon.

Duke Nukem 3D was the shit back in '96.

[mrchainsaw]

I've never played Duke Nukem or Dynasty Warriors along with Ninja Gaiden, Halo except for like 5 matches, God of War, and some others I know I'm forgetting.

To be fair other Castelvanias have done the same thing. Such as if you beat Richter in SotN.

Also, people haven't played the DW games!?

[SL4IN]

Rei, enlighten me on DW. I'm kinda interested in Warriors Orochi 2. Also, I do have some interest in the new DW coming to PSP. LEND ME YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

[mrchainsaw]

I don't know anything about the DW series other than it exists. I couldn't name the consoles their on or any of the titles.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Wait, lie. I played Dynasty Warriors Gundam.

Pressing X got boring after about five minutes, so I was done with.

My #1 rule for gaming: if something isn't interesting even after you add giant fucking robots, it's not worth the time.

[Rei no Otaku]

Rei, enlighten me on DW. I'm kinda interested in Warriors Orochi 2. Also, I do have some interest in the new DW coming to PSP. LEND ME YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
Basically they're a series of amazing beat-em up style games with a bit of tactics thrown in. They're based on Chinese (Japanese in the case of Samurai Warriors) history, but an exaggerated version.

I'd say go pick up one of the older titles in the series for cheap and give it a try. The series hasn't changed much since DW3, which was a vast improvement over DW2. The series does change though just that it goes through a fine tuning with each installment rather than a complete overhaul. Just don't get the Xtreme Legends games since those are expansions. Also the Empires games add a lot of tactics to the gameplay (they're a lot of fun, but you should start with the main series first).

Warriors Orochi 2 is really good. It's probably my favorite game in the series, beating out Samurai Warriors 2.

Harmony of Dissonance sucks. Biggest disappointment ever in Castlevania (nintendo portable games, GBA or DS, at least).

I've never played Duke Nukem. I've played DW, but got tired of it real fucking quick.

[jer7583]

Don't even waste your time with Dynasty Warriors. If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you do, you know you like it.

That shit is wretched.

On topic, I flipped about $25 of blockbuster credit and $10 cash into a copy of Fable 2 tonight, so awesome.

I heart Blockbuster. I heart ripping off Gamestop.

[hankmecrankme]

DW2 was somewhat amusing at the PS2 launch, when there wasn't much to play.

[Rei no Otaku]

I love how you say don't waste your time then say "if you like it you know you like it, and if you don't then you don't." Wouldn't you need to try the game?

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Hello, how did I get a Resistance 2 beta code in my e-mail.

[jer7583]

Okay I suppose, but that series has been going on long enough that if you haven't played it by now, you're not going to enjoy it. It's not like they change those games. It was novel and impressive to mash your way through 300 dudes back when the PS2 was new, but these days even beat-em-ups are more mature.

Meaning they turned into Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, and God of War. For good reason. That DW shit is wretched. It's like being served a petrified turd with some whipped cream on it and being told it's a banana split sundae.

They can't even do the cherry right, for god's sake.

[jer7583]

Also, Rei is a grown man playing Rhapsody and Princess Debut.

Make of that what you will, puma.

However, if the load times were short enough and the missions brief, I could see maybe playing one of those games portable on PSP.

Maybe

They should do a Ninja version of Dynasty Warriors. Like the Real Ultimate Power style of Ninja.

Holy Shit.. I think I just came up with the best idea for a game EVER.

[DarthPuma]

What does that have to do with me? I played like a minute of rhap and then sold that shit.

I really do need to get DMC4. A nyone looking to get rid of it?

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm contemplating getting rid of my black dreamcast... I realize I don't use it as much as I would like, but I don't mind owning it.... >_<

CML on that DC.

Unless it's worth more than a normal DC. Then I can't afford it.

No. DMC and NG are different genres entirely. Those are action games. DW is a beat-em up. Maybe they don't change them to you, but they change more than enough for fans of the series. If you don't get it, that's fine. I don't get Madden games but I don't go around calling them wretched because of that. Rei forbid we let someone try the game and make up their own mind about it.

Also, Rei is a grown man playing Rhapsody and Princess Debut.

Make of that what you will, puma.
I'll tell you what I make of me playing Rhapsody and Princess Debut. That I'm mature enough to like good games despite some immature people attempting to indirectly insult my manhood because of it.

[DarthPuma]

I may gamefly a DW game after fable.

WHICH I CAN"T FUCKING PLAY DO TO A LACK OF BATTERIES!!

[SL4IN]

I have a friend that is really big into DW, and myself being a really big fan of Beat em ups, he was really surprised when I said I'd never played a DW game.

[Rei no Otaku]

Give one of the games a try. The older ones are cheap. If you like beat-em ups you'll probably like it. It's understandable if you don't end up buying every game in the series, but you'll most likely have good fun with a couple of them.

[I_Am_ProZac]

Duke Nukem 3D was the shit back in '96.
Duke Nukem 3D still kicks ass. Now if only they would finish Duke Nukem Forever...

[dmaul1114]

Put in a good 3 or 4 hours more with Oblivion tonight. Did one story quest, closed another Oblivion gate and did 4 dark brotherhood missions. I'm digging the game a lot, it has flaws--slow down, weapons and armor degrading is annoying, the main story isn't very compelling, and it's a bit overwhelming/complicated (not having a manual, just the map, doens't help probabl). But the more I play the more I get sucked in. There's just so many damn quests to do.

That game was like crack to me. Over 120 hours of my life gone before I knew what happened.

[dmaul1114]

Harmony of Dissonance sucks. Biggest disappointment ever in Castlevania (nintendo portable games, GBA or DS, at least).


I never got the hate for that game. I loved it personally. Part of it was probably just not being stupid hard and looking like ass like Circle of the Moon which I played before it.

[Rei no Otaku]

We're both going to get lynched but I agree with everything you just said.

[DarthPuma]

Do you guys think it's a waste of money to pick up Guitar Hero bundle even though I already have Rock Band 1? Music games are like my favorite genre, and the shit is improved 10x, but 190 is a lot of dough.

I misplaced FFX, so I can't send it to the guy on goozex. there goes 200 points.

Need to put civilization up so it might get my points in time for the next street fighter that comes around.

[dmaul1114]

That game was like crack to me. Over 120 hours of my life gone before I knew what happened.

Yeah, I've put like 15 hours in it so far in a bit over a week, which is a ton of gaming for me. It will take me a long time to get through with it though. Not much time to play the next three weeks as I'm doing a lot of traveling for job interviews and a confernce. And Gears 2 will be out as well....

But Oblivion will definitely keep me from buying more games other than Gears 2 for while, especially since the other games I have my eyes on are RPGs (Fable 2, Fallout 3). I'll probably play through oblivion and maybe even the 2 expansions before picking up either of those unless I happen to get a quick match on Goozex for them.

[DarthPuma]

I can't believe it, but there are ALMOST enough worthwhile games out/coming out to warrant me purchasing a Wii. ALMOST.

Soon as I find one for 150 I jump.

[Ahadi]

So I'm back from hanging out with my best friend. We went to see Saw 5. It sucked so much. But we got in for free, so that was sick. Then we smoked giant ass cigars. Good night over all.

Now I want to play video games. All I've got on me is Disgaea and Starcraft. So I'm going to throw some hours in to Disgaea.

And to those looking at getting a dreamcast, check my list. I gotta get rid of this thing...

[tiredfornow]

srry.. no go. I'll be adding it to my trade list over the weekend when I find time.

[Kendal]

I am about done with Fable II. Anyone beat it, what did you choose. Major spoilers in the tags. DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED THE GAME!

If you do the Sacrifice ending, do you get your dog back? I am picking Love to be safe. Fuck the people who made the spire.

Excellent game. Will play through more later on when I don't have a holiday orgy of games looming.

[KingBroly]

As far as I know right now, no. It's really a stupid design decision, just like one of the endings to GTAIV.

[Kendal]

Good. I made the right choice!

[Ahadi]

I'm pissed. I've got the house to my self, it's almost 3 in the morning, and I want to go to bed. What's wrong with me?!

[Moxio]

You should be furiously masturbating!

[Ahadi]

You should be furiously masturbating!

It's sad that that's an option :lol:

I might pound some booze and pass out. Sneh.

[Ahadi]

Well, I found some ice cold whiskey. Seagram to be exact. Mixed with some cranberry splash sierra mist. Very tasty.

[Kendal]

So, there is still lots to do in Fable II after you beat it. Good to know.

[jer7583]

Oh man that's a good combo I never thought of. I like that cranberry sierra mist, but.. with whiskey? It's like a 7 and 7 with cranberry! AWESOME

I'm pretty sure I would really love a Dynasty Warriors: REAL ULTIMATE POWER game. The ninja would flip out and kill EVERYONE just for absurd reasons in every stage, like for instance in the first stage, your task is to slaughter an entire town because some kid opened a window, and as your combo increase the guitar wailing gets harder and harder. SHIT.. I just got myself PUMPED thinking about that.

At the end of the stage, when everyone has died, the ninja commits seppuku with his frisbee because he's so pumped but there's nobody around to kill. And ninja babes in the stage need saving, and when you do you pop like, 26 boners and get REALLY PUMPED and go into FLIP OUT mode for a while.

I actually emailed the real ultimate power guy with this idea. In a lot more detail. I want it, so bad.

[blueshinra]

Real Ultimate Power would be awesome in any game! Well, any game where ninjas and flipping out and killing everyone would be appropriate.

Good morning GGT. Put some more time into Mario RPG last night and will probably have a go at DDR Supernova 2 sometime this weekend.

Got a couple questions, too: Has anyone here played Dokapon Kingdom, especially multiplayer? It looks pretty cool, but I'm still on the fence. Also, does anyone know if Unreal Tournament 3 PC has any kind of DRM, or just the standard serial number stuff? I'm looking to get the Collector's Edition for cheap, but that means buying used.

Article! They gave it a terrible title which I HOPE is just an error.
Read plz!

Now I'm off to Train at Best Buy!

[Halo05]

I always thought the new Ninja Gaiden games were essentially REAL ULTIMATE POWER games. I mean, once you get good, shit goes down.

[manthing]

Finished Dead Space last night


So fucking good except for one small irritation at the end


I'm undecided on what's next. It's finish up SR2, Mercs 2 or Bioshock(Yeah, I know I stink...)

[jer7583]

It was an eye opening experience using craigslist to sell some shit this week and seeing not one, but MULTIPLE sellers pitching early copies of Call of Duty, Fable 2, Far Cry 2, Gears 2, and Fallout 3 that are 100% guaranteed DVD-ROM burns.. FOR $30.

Not to mention people selling modded system bundles with a load of DVD-ROMs.. I wonder if the police around here care? Anyone dumb enough to blatantly sell that shit deserves a knock on their door and a warm, unirating sensation in their pants. Fucking pirates.

I played through Mega Man 2 on VC this morning.. in like an hour. Man that game is fun. I'm on this wacky sleep schedule because my girlfriend gets up for work at like 4:30 am.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Any GGTer want a R2 beta code? PM me.

Gonna hit up dat Condemned more today. I'm just past the bear attack in the cabin, which was pretty cool.

I tried to play Mass Effect last night to finish my Insane playthough on 360, and man, that game runs like shit.

Why is Fable Original Recipe boring and not fun.

Who has Farcry 2? I remember reading some cover story about it where they mentioned that you choose your character at the beginning, and the ones you don't choose become NPCs in the game you can interact with. Truth?

How is Ninja Gaiden Sigma? I'm tempted to get it in the Wal-mart deal.

[DarthPuma]

So apparently, the new Guitar Hero drums suck. Which means I'm going to go with the Rock Band 2 set unless new reports can change my mind.
I really just want a new guitar, the RB1 one blows. I need to drums though, this pos kick pedal is killing me. It's like impossible to do 8th note bass pedal notes.

I have got to find some batteries. I knwo I'm gonna have crazy fun with Fable as soon as I get into it.

I hate rei.

And Ahadi, I want your Dreamcast bad, just trying to allocate some funds.

[Ahadi]

And Ahadi, I want your Dreamcast bad, just trying to allocate some funds.

I'd trade for some gamez.

And the cranberry sierra mist really brought down the harshness that is whiskey. Excellent combo though. I suggest everyone try it at some point.

[DarthPuma]

CML then? Not much there nowadays, sadly.

And wow, I just realized I could get a fucking Wii for the same price of Rock Band. What does I do?!

Ohhhhh yeah, I'm getting that Guitar Hero bundle from yf360g. Return to amazon, use credit to buy it for dat tripple, sell the game, pick up Rock band 2 and rock band 2 drums at hastings. Costs me like nothing out of pocket...... Tempting.

Wow, we've almost one through 4 ggts in here.

Bout to call walmart and see if they'll have a world tour demo set up tonight at the midnight shit. That would be a good chance to try the drums.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Don't get a Wii Puma.

[DarthPuma]

Odds are, I won't. Only way I will is if they have for some ungodly reason a used one at hastings come tuesday at teh fallout 3 launch, cause it's 30 percent off everything from 10 to midnight. Not sure what they sell them for, but the TIV is 200 bucks so I'm guessing about 230, which would make it 161 bucks. I figure that's worth it for the games coming up, since my sisters won't let me use theirs.

Yay, TWEWY is here! I'm going to play it while I go take a shit.

[MarkMan]

Im at the 10 am showing of high school musical 3 and there are a bunch of hot moms here... WTF

manly morning....

Tekken 6 is here too :)

[DarthPuma]

Just gettting in to the first dual screen battles of TWEWY. Jeeez it's hectic. I'm really digging the game though.

[Moxio]

#-o @ Mark.

[hankmecrankme]

Just a lazy Saturday, nothing to do. So I'm going to clean my room and then game all day. That sounds like a good day. ;)

If anyone wants to play some SCIV PS3 or VF5 for 360, slim chance on the latter, then I'll play anytime today. I haven't been able to play on GGPO because my router hates me. :cry:

I didn't play the R2 beta last night. I was playing SCIV with some friends and just generally bullshitting as usual. So I might hop on that later.

[manthing]

Dear Game Developers:

For fuck's sake, STOP putting scenarios in games where you have to defend someone/something

We're tired of escort missions/protect the _____ scenes...

:bomb:

[SL4IN]

Did some running around this morning. Deposited some money, picked up a mighty mugg for Ahadi (hopefully he got me one I'm looking for too!) then went to gamestop and picked up Kirby Canvas Curse, Etrian Odyssey, and Mega Man ZX. Brings my DS total to 41. Arcade stick and Street Fighter Anniversary getting here on monday!

[jer7583]

the npc thing in far cry isn't very important. The game is so good though. I was sneaking into this fort to kill a king at 3 am while it was raining, and there's all these dudes searching through the fields around his fort and I'm sneaking around offing them with a silenced pistol.. Followed by a huge shootout in the fort after killing the king.

Great game, full of great experiences.

It took me 3 tries to do that mission and they were different every time.

[DarthPuma]

Can you switch decks mid battle in TWEWY? I'm so confused on the battle system. Cant' even figure out how to move.

[Krymner]

Hey GGT! Picked up the new Castlevania this morning and I've played it about an hour or so. Good stuff, and better than PoR so far.

I also finally started up Assassin's Creed. Just did the tutorial and not much else. Looks pretty.

Far Cry 2 sounds great. How is the gun play? I like games that make it feel like you are using powerful weapons, not weak shit.

Basically, if I fire a shotgun into a dude, I want it to look and feel like that's what's happening, from sound to graphics to physics.

[bhk]

I'm tempted to buy a Wii solely for MadWorld.

Nope. And don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. Just keep fighting and follow the light puck.

DDR Supernova 2 is good stuff, at least as good as the first Supernova.

In the mood for a Nippon Ichi SRPG grindfest, and Soul Nomad and Disgaea DS are both sittin' in my backlog, but I've got Okami to play next and Animal Crack's coming out next month. Hmm...

[Jest]

WTF LBP. I pick it up yesterday (yay!) but trying to redeem my code is fail. The thing says go to http://us.playstation.com/LBPCostume/ but that site doesn't exist. I try to redeem the promo code on the slip and it wont work. Anyone else deal with this?

Oh yeah. Fuck the crab boss in OoE. This game is much harder than DoS.

[heavyd853]

The crab is probably the hardest boss I've beaten so far in OOE.

Basically what I did was hide in the middle left corner and spam double axes for 20 minutes. Just make sure you know when he's going to hit you with his legs or with the diagonal crab slash.

[DarthPuma]

The codes aren't redeemable yet.

Animal crack is one of teh big reasons I want a wii. I just know it wouldn't be the smartest thing considering I already had one I barely played.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I was playing some Fable 2 today and noticed a villager I killed for a mission respawned. And he is still in love with me.

[Moxio]

Kill him again.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I should... to be honest I'd have alot more fun being evil in Fable 2.

[whoknows]

I was at Target earlier today and saw that Golden Axe is already on clearance. That's both hilarious and sad. If it hits $20 or less I'll probably grab it out of curiosity. I know it's supposed to be terrible, but wow.

[DarthPuma]

I've completely neglected fable today. Partly because I can't find my batteries, but mainly because TWEWY is amazing. I'm only on day 3, because I just keep grinding. The combat is sooooo fun. I'm trying to get all the pins I have so far mastered before I move on to the main goal of today.

[Ahadi]

So I was out and about today, just finding some good deals, and it's probably universal knowledge, but I found 3 Warhawk bundles at target for $30. That's a sick deal. Other than that, just the average $20/$30 regulars.

Oh and I got my Halloween costume today. $80 costume for free. Will post pics soon :lol:

Other than that, I've got a quiet night in with the lady tonight. Should be good 8-)

[DarthPuma]

CML ahadi.

Someone email me some batteries.

[Ahadi]

CML ahadi.

Someone email me some batteries.

What am I looking for?

[DarthPuma]

That dreamcast I want but need teh monies for.

Holding off temporarily on Guitar Hero. need to seem some reviews.

[Kendal]

How is Ninja Gaiden Sigma? I'm tempted to get it in the Wal-mart deal.

I like it. I haven't beaten it, but it is fun. An actual challenge compared to most games.

[Ahadi]

The Zune is tempting, but I don't know if I need it. Ya got any stuff not listed on the trade list?

And so the world knows, Reese's Klondike bars are amazing.

[DarthPuma]

Uh, civ rev DS, a fucked up Razr 2, a PS1, and that's about it.

And a lime green gba sp. lol
Is TWEWY like really short or some shit? I'm on day 4, and it looks like there is only 7 days......

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Puma: No.

Beat Condemned 2. However, pretty sure I busted the right stick on one of my controllers.

Hooray, probs can't pick up Fallout until Friday.

[tiredfornow]

I liked Resistance 2 more when it was just called Killzone. :(

[Azumangaman]

First day of Best Buy training = I am want to cry.
Tomorrow should be better, its in the store and we might actually DO something.
The fact that I'm making over $150 this weekend doesn't hurt either.

[hankmecrankme]

I thought about working at Best Buy once. I decided against it because my soul dies a little every time I go into a Best Buy. Just knowing people who've worked there and the stories they tell is enough to make me never want to work there ever.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Is there any way to fix my right thumbstick on the the 360 controller? It, like, the ball beneath it is loose so it just falanges everywhere.

[Kendal]

Uh, civ rev DS, a fucked up Razr 2, a PS1, and that's about it.

Is that the same RAZR that went into the toilet?

Anyone else here play and beat Fable II? I still can't get over it. Such a good game. I think it tops MGS4 for me. I really didn't expect it to be anything great. Tomorrow I am going to start a new character that is pure evil.

[Moxio]

Wow Kendal, you have great taste.

[Kendal]

Sorry, my snark detector is broke. 2008 has been kinda slow on the great games tip.

[Moxio]

I'm serious.

[DarthPuma]

I just pranked called a shit load of places with some friends. Apparently Gamestop doesn't like it when you call for battletoads.

[corrosivefrost]

what the hell? were you hanging out with manthing?

[I_Am_ProZac]

just returned with GH:WT. Initial impressions... the drums are really unstable, but it's not really noticable when playing. They feel a lot better for drumming though.

[DarthPuma]

I need detailed drum impressions lol.

Are the cymbals dropping notes much? Do you have to hit them hard? Do you think they'll break? Have you played with the RB2 drums? If so, which is better, in your opinion? Is it worth me spending 200 bucks on the set if I have Rock Band 1?]

...wonder if I could talk my parents into the Ion kit for my birthday. They don't usually spend that much on me, but it's worth a shott......

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Yeah bitch!!! Got that thumbstick back into place. Homie don't click down anymore, though.

[Ahadi]

:shock:
Really? I mean.... Really?! I'm not going to knock a game I haven't played, but is the story telling really that great? The first one's story was pretty meh. And maybe it's just the fanboy in me, but like, they really pushed out an amazing story?

[heavyd853]

That made me interested in the game. I just put 2 paychecks in the bank!


Maybe if that amazon sale turns out to be good I'll see if I can get it.

[Kendal]

:shock:

It isn't so much the content of the story, but the way it plays out. The connection I got with the game and the characters in it. There was never a moment where I was saying to myself, "ok I get it, let's go. On with it already!" I am not a Fable Fanboy, I never even finished the first. I liked what I played, but it was just ok to me.

[DarthPuma]

I guess I need to find some batteries and play that shit.

TWEWY is addicting. On day 4. I don't understand all the fashion shit, and I always forget to fight on the top screen too.

[Kendal]

Top screen likes the company of same sex partners. Ignore it. The fashion, it really helps to read what is tops and what is nots. Also, if you want to sink 100 hours into the game, keep leveling your pins before you move one. I sunk so much time into it.

[I_Am_ProZac]

After a few hours of play, the set is great... except for the orange symbol. It's registers extremely crapily. I'm wondering if it's just my set though... going to hopefully hear from others that have tried it.

[DarthPuma]

Tons of people are having shitty cymbals, which is why I held off tonight.

And yeah kendal, I'm pretty much clearing every single noise in the part of the grid I'm in before I move on. Only have 3 pins mastered though, because I just got that fourth slot. It's 2 1/2 though. I use the fire one, the slash one, the bullet one, and the giant ice pick out of the ground one.

This had definitely got me back into my DS though. I wanna go pick up all the amazing games I've ignored:
Castlevania (Dos first, the rest if I love it)
Pheonix Wright (same as Castlevania)
Clubhouse Games
Planet Puzzle League
FF4
Professor Layton

Any other recommendations? I'll post my collection later, it's pretty small.

[Moxio]

Tennis no Ouji-Sama: Crystal Drive 2005.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I spent most of TWEWY focusing on the top screen, barely bought any clothes, and almost totally ignored the light puck.

Halo 2 is going to be my new nighttime game, it makes me sleeeeeepy.

[Jest]

Ninja Gaiden DS, Kirby Canvas Curse and my friend tells me Lunar Knights.

[Ahadi]

It isn't so much the content of the story, but the way it plays out. The connection I got with the game and the characters in it. There was never a moment where I was saying to myself, "ok I get it, let's go. On with it already!" I am not a Fable Fanboy, I never even finished the first. I liked what I played, but it was just ok to me.

Okay. I get it. The connection with the characters is key. I guess that's why I love MGS as much as I do.

Know I'm really anxious to give Fable 2 a whirl.

And I can't sleep. The lady is in bed, but she was drunk dialed and it woke me up and I can't settle down. I figured I'd leave the bed so I'm not tossing and turning and waking her up.

Jones soda halloween flavors are pretty good.

[suko_32]

Tennis no Ouji-Sama: Crystal Drive 2005.

I liked the PS2 one much more (Form the Strongest Team). Don't know if you played that Moxio. Not to say Crystal Drive is bad.

[Moxio]

Can you play JPN games on a regular PS2 or do you need, er, nevermind.

If I can, though, point me to where I should get it. 8-)

[option.iv]

Crystal Drive is still the best tennis game for DS. Though I wish there was someone to play it with. Everyone I ask thinks I'm gay... I wonder why.

I really should play it again. It's all about Atobe.

I tried one of the PS2 games, I think it was Smash Hit, or something along those lines. It sucked ass.

[Moxio]

Atobe? Are you kidding me?

Sanada is hands down the best player in the game; decent Praise, amazing A-Time, a supermove that can be activated anywhere, AND an incredible Invisible Swing shot.

[suko_32]

Fuu Rin Ka In Zan Rai

[Moxio]

I think he only has Fire in the game.

[suko_32]

Yeah, I know he doesn't have everything cause the game came out a while ago. The disappearing swing would be wind though.

Edit: Talking to me about Atobe vs. Sanada? Cause I don't think I ever gave my opinion.

[Moxio]

Ahhh yes you are right.

I wish Rai was in the game. Move looks awesome.

And do you still think Atobe is better than Sanada? :S

[I_Am_ProZac]

Tons of people are having shitty cymbals, which is why I held off tonight.

Yeah, after a little more play, my friends and I all agree that orange cymbal is shit, and has to go. Set's going back to GS tomorrow, and if I keep getting crappy cymbals... the GH set is out. From what I played on the Band mode tonight too, I'm not exceptionally impressed. Star power is confusing, there's no good indication of how the whole band is doing easily. Have to see how single player is, as I felt that was lacking in Rock Band. Maybe I'm just phasing out of the whole music game thing...

[option.iv]

I prefer Atobe because of his taunts (forgot what the different types were). And his insight is just awesome, takes away meter as well.

[jer7583]

far cry 2 has awesome weapons.. But it will take 5,6 shots to kill if it's not a headshot. They are crazy accurate at range too. Works in the game though, so you can't just run out in the fields and shoot them. You need to use cover and outsmart them.

The multiplayer is generic, but fun.

I'm 8 hours in and 20% done, so it's not a short game.

Waiting on fable 2 for now.. It's still sealed.

Far Cry 2 is in my top 5 shooters ever so far though. Could be because I really wanted to play Stalker and crysis and this is as close as you get on console.

[blueshinra]

Good morning GGT. Speaking of Crysis, I watched my husband mess around with it on God Mode last night (he's already beaten the game). At one point he chopped down a palm tree by firing bullets at it. However, palm tree trunks are spongy and a bit stringy, which makes them flexible in strong winds; that's one reason why they're not as quick to uproot in hurricanes as other types of trees. The palm tree in Crysis splintered as though the trunk was dry, like an oak tree's. Good research there, Crytek :lol:

Also, the palm trees barely had any dead material just below the fronds, and none of them bore fruit (read: coconuts). It kind of bothered this former Floridian.

This had definitely got me back into my DS though. I wanna go pick up all the amazing games I've ignored:
Castlevania (Dos first, the rest if I love it)
Pheonix Wright (same as Castlevania)
Clubhouse Games

Professor Layton

Any other recommendations? I'll post my collection later, it's pretty small.
If you don't have them yet, Kirby Canvas Curse and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time are both good. Sonic Rush is one of the best Sonic games in a long time. I've also loved every DS game that has "Dragon" followed immediately by "Quest" in the title, though I've yet to pick up DQIV.

[Foo228]

Just played through portal.

Love that game.

[hankmecrankme]

I have yet to finish Portal. . .

/Another post by me stating that I have a game but I haven't played it. ;) Yeah I know it's not that long.

[pete5883]

So I have returned from Vegas, actually made money in the casinos. Played about 5hrs of DQIV, and it really isn't getting me like it did when I was a kid. Still not bad though. Think I will go for a trophy run in Uncharted, because DQ gets old after an hour or so.

[Foo228]

Can anyone here help me in a political debate? Thanks in advance.

Tomorrow I have a debate in my govt and politics class.

I was wondering if there was more to include or just more to know about to be aware of the other debaters positions tomorrow.

For what it's worth, my group is moderate and we're thinking of a 'home improvement' topic. Any suggestions on other topics are welcome. Also, tie-ins among the topics would be great.

There will be 3 other groups, 1 leaning conservative and the other 2 democratic.

3 topics (followed by my group's stances):

Health care

The best way to keep our country's individuals and families in good hands is by allowing us to help our selves by providing our citizens with affordable healthcare. It will be based on the individual family's medical history as well as the individual's current condition and will present a tax credit, accordingly. We are not for more government involvement in healthcare, as both medicare (healthcare for the elderly) and medicaid (healthcare for lower income individuals) will suffice from the government's behalf, but a tax credit does seem appropriate in our current economic situation. We believe overturning the current healthcare system will cause unforeseen amounts of trouble down the road as welfare has already been taken advantage of (due to libel and fraud).


Russia-Nato

Our nation's safety is very important and that is why we cannot allow Georgia and the Ukraine to enter NATO, since a looming war is very dangerous to the safety of our country. Even though those countries aforementioned may be in danger, we have no responsibility being where we have no business to take care of. In other words, there are other areas of the world that need our most immediate attention. It may sound harsh, but this is the reality of the situation: it is the safety of our industrialized country, the United States, against theirs.


Energy

Energy conservation is the key to the future of any industrialized country like our own, which is why we should gradually pull towards going green as a country. Many things can be done right now such as cutting down on packaging, (better) insulating one's home, and of course recycling. Less landfills and more products composed of former products allows cheaper prices because material costs won't exist (and less waste will be around the Earth). Even planting trees would prove very effective in helping "go green".



Started the club and that game is crazy from the start. Hard to say if I like it or not.

[Rei no Otaku]

I hate rei.

Awwww T.T

Yay for raving until 5am, then having to go to work in a couple hours. I'm in so much pain. Hopefully I can play some Fable 2 when I get back home.

[hankmecrankme]

Fight through the pain!!

Last night was the earliest I've went to bed in 2 weeks; 4 AM. Got up at 7 AM, and will be napping shortly. Then I'll play some games. I'm thinking maybe I'll finally dig into The Witcher EE.

[DarthPuma]

What the hell game is being talked about at the top of the page?

[jer7583]

maximo is a slick game to play while listening to the joystiq podcast. Only one better is 1UP Yours and the CAGcast.

[hankmecrankme]

I can't stand podcasts most of the time. I read faster than people talk, and I like to skim too, so it usually tortures me to hear somebody talk unless I'm face to face with them, or actively participating in the conversation.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I love the TalkRadar podcast, it's hilarious.

Just started the Norton Hulk movie.

[Ahadi]

So my dad discovered my tattoo. His flip out was enough to make me want to hang myself with a belt. Maybe it's just because I'm over tired and have not medicated in 4 days... whoops.

My love/hate relationship with Disgaea continues. But I'm starting to hate Prinnys. I just can't use them for shit. Fucking asshole penguins.

Other than that, I'm just waiting for my laundry to finish so I can go back to school. I like being home, but I love having a room I can call my own and just be left alone in 8-) I think I may just go hermit.

[RelentlessRolento]

been gone for a few days... blame my small cold and loss of sleep.

been playing little big planet and spent a few hours on a uniquely themed level i'm designing. it has a storyline and some interesting twists ;)

[DarthPuma]

I think I'm going to go pick up the guitar bundle for gh later today. I'm gonna wait for a sale one the RB2 drums.

I knew they were better, but after spending a few hours playing rock band 2 on my RB1 drums and then playing the new drums at walmart, the difference was insane. If a note was dropped it was actually my fault lol.

[hankmecrankme]

GGT is slow today. Everyone must have lives, or maybe everyone is gaming. ;)

My niece just got done playing Folklore. She seemed to like it. Her favorite games are RE4 and Uncharted, so she has pretty decent taste. :)

For me, all I've played today is drums, screw around with my PC, and listen to music.

[Chibi_Kaji]

I finished up Fable 2 today. I found a gender bending potion and married Lady Grey... Now that is out of the way I'll put a little more time into LBP.

[blueshinra]

GGT is slow today. Everyone must have lives, or maybe everyone is gaming. ;)
I went grocery shopping (w/my SO), made chili, and played a fair amount of Super Mario RPG today. So yeah, the latter, to some extent ;)

[DarthPuma]

I had chili for dinner too, lol. No gaming tonight, have to do an outline comparing and contrasting three things about hinduism buddism for an essay I have to write in class tomorrow. Shit sucks.

[hankmecrankme]

I had chili dogs for dinner. Everyone's eating chili today.

Super Mario RPG is so good. I haven't played that in ages.

[Rei no Otaku]

I'm not eating chili because it's fucking disgusting.

Played some more Fable 2, but I'm still so sore I don't feel like doing anything.

[jer7583]

I did some blockbuster gamestop flipping and got around $180 in credit. I started the day with $85.

Found a used fable2 and dead space as well. Bought saints row 2 on ps3 used for for amazon to complete the b2g1.

I'd say it was a good day! ;)

[corrosivefrost]

dead space is fucking righteous, so yes, you had a good day.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I played Halo 2 today, only because I want to play something I know I can finish before Fallout 3. Also played the Valkyria Chronicles demo, that shit is tight.

[JMEPO]

For some reason Dead Space reminds me a lot of Bioshock...

[DarthPuma]

I'm probably returning Dead space tomorrow.

Didn't finish, I just got too damn frustrated. Didn't want to fight the Leviathin again.

I'll gamefly it in a few weeks when I get over it and beat fable 2 though.

Amazon still hasn't shipped LBP dammit.

[corrosivefrost]

For some reason Dead Space reminds me a lot of Bioshock...

It's because it does such a good job of creating an immersive environment.

[Ahadi]

Ah. So I'm back at school. I'm going to download the R2 beta and beat Saints Row 2. That's right. The thing I've been saying I've been going to do for like a week. It'll be done and on my updated trade list tomorrow.

Uh... What else... Damn. I got nothing.

[mrchainsaw]

I've been playing more Castlevania, so fun. I also listened to my first podcasts while doing so. Retronauts seems pretty good.

Jer, care to explain how you make so much money by flipping games between GS and BB? I wouldn't mind getting in on that. :D

[Azumangaman]

Day 2 of Best Buy training = slightly better
I'm kind of looking forward to the next 3 weeks, stocking vidya games and such before the store opens.

[heavyd853]

Oh man, Castlevania OOE has some freakin awesome scrolling backrounds, especially towards the later part of the game.

[Ahadi]

I did, probably the best thing ever. I cleaned out my PM's. And in doing so, deleted my R2 beta code. Sick. Time to do some creative googling/lurk around these parts to find another one.

[JMEPO]

It's because it does such a good job of creating an immersive environment.

I think I'm gonna have to play it.

[darthbudge]

I did, probably the best thing ever. I cleaned out my PM's. And in doing so, deleted my R2 beta code. Sick. Time to do some creative googling/lurk around these parts to find another one.

I got a beta code and I am probably not gonna use it very much. If you really want it, PM me.

[Lorddraco07]

Been playing some Okami on the Wii. Seems like a really entertaining game so far. That and zelda: lttp and zelda OoT have kept me busy. Going to watch 21 and 1408 that came from Netflix now.

[whoknows]

I wish today was really tomorrow so that I could have Fallout 3.


Feels like years before it finally comes out :-P

[DarthPuma]

You can only have budges if you gameshare it with me ahadi.


Did ya find anything on my list you liked?

[I_Am_ProZac]

Damnit, tried to exchange my broken GH:WT set with my GS and they said I had to go through warranty. Have to wait forever to go through that. :bomb:

[Kendal]

Tell them to eat a dick and exchange it.

[jer7583]

I've been playing more Castlevania, so fun. I also listened to my first podcasts while doing so. Retronauts seems pretty good.

Jer, care to explain how you make so much money by flipping games between GS and BB? I wouldn't mind getting in on that. :D

Check the Blockbuster/Gamerush thread. All you need to know is there. My area was just ripe for the taking.. and the B2G1 free at gamestop was the real cause of the big profits.. it's going to be slightly more difficult now.

[Ahadi]

You can only have budges if you gameshare it with me ahadi.


Did ya find anything on my list you liked?

Kendal hooked me up(again). So that code is yours if you want it and budge is still offering.

And I was kind of tempted on biting on that Zune. But I'm not real sure yet... Ya got any other cool stuff? Blu-ray movies maybe?

[I_Am_ProZac]

Tell them to eat a dick and exchange it.
As much as I'd love to... I don't think they would go for that.

[pete5883]

I did, probably the best thing ever. I cleaned out my PM's. And in doing so, deleted my R2 beta code. Sick. Time to do some creative googling/lurk around these parts to find another one.
Isn't it probably still in the sent box of the person who sent it to you?

[MarkMan]

I've been so busy these past few weeks, months actually. It's not even funny. It's taking a toll on me now and with my daughter living down with me again... I'm thinking about taking a vacation...

Gas prices have been going down! I'm happy! $2.81 per gallon at the pump closest to me! (San Diego, CA) !!!!

Some random pickups from this week...

My daughter picked these two out...

MM I envy your G1 purchase >_< post impressions of the phone.

also, I didn't think I'd have money for fallout 3, but it looks like I had more in my bank account than I realized. if my 360 comes back before it's out, I'll be playing it.

currently overloaded with LBP but got alot more of my deadly ice cream level finished.

[Moxio]

RR, what is with you and ">_<" ?

it's become a bad habbit. it's my internet crutch for typing things ...

I almost just did it there.

[MarkMan]

G1 is pretty cool. For $179 it's a lot of bang for the buck. I really want an HTC Touch Diamond or Sony Xperia X1... but I can't really bring myself to purchase a $800-$900 phone when I know I'll upgrade every year or two lol.

I still use my iPhone as well... Anything in particular you want to know about the G1?

[whoknows]

RR, what is with you and ">_<" ?

You're so mean >_<

[Moxio]

I have a question:

Why did you buy a phone for $180 when you already have a good one?

[MarkMan]

More variety + different features. The G1 was different enough to warrant a purchase from me. I don't know if I mentioned it before, but I'm a gadget/tech whore.

+ the money is good to me right now...

So good I'm gonna get one of these!

my overall opinion I want to hear is after someone has used it for over a month so I can't get my answers yet >_< I'm just wondering overall how happy people are over longer ownership times.

and yes... >_<

Shadaloo!

[MarkMan]

It's a bad ass term... Bosozoku literally translates to "violent running gang" ... and the term was often used to identify Japanese gangs or motorcycle thugs. You might remember the term being used in GTO and if you're into the more obscure manga, Worst/Crows...


lol

I'll get back to you in a few weeks then... So far, so good though. Only thing I don't like is the battery life. When you have every app on and screen brightness at the highest... G3 network blazing, wifi, + playing media... the battery drains very quickly.

On the + side... it charges really fast.

That's it. I'm gonna break the chain of "..." and >_> and <_> and >_< Oh shit... :lol: I think I'm witty.

I'm taking a break from SR while I wait for someone in the "official SR2 thread" to reply to my question. Snack time I suppose.

Hey, I don't appreciate your tone of typing.

Tone it down please.

Thanks.

[RelentlessRolento]

k... um, stop, uh, gais.

I gotta wake up early to pick up medical crap tomorrow... fun. I'm going super early to avid the usual monday crowd that's there... oh well. I'll plan out the rest of my little big planet level while I'm there...

I forget, when does Gears of War 2 come out? in roughly 3 weeks? or what? I'm so bad at dates this holiday...

a week from halloween.. or a week from friday. literally next week

[RelentlessRolento]

geeze?!? two weeks? I'll hold my money from fallout 3 and get gears... then I'll get Fallout 3 when I've got more cash.

[Ahadi]

>_<

Reported for possible douchebaggery.

:lol:

Have you guys tried the Jones Soda Halloween flavors?

[Moxio]

I haven't, actually. They any good?

[Nelo Ice]

i hope i can get credited in time so i can use yf360g on gears 2

[Ahadi]

I haven't, actually. They any good?

They're all very tasty. My preference falls: Lemon Dropdead, SpooKiwi, Candy Corn, then some pomegranit kind. But I mean, four 8 ounce cans for $1.50 will taste amazing no matter how you try and justify it.

[Moxio]

I'm interesting in that pomegranate one. Candy corn? :|

[Ahadi]

I'm interesting in that pomegranate one. Candy corn? :|

It's a soda you need to sip. It's very sweet and tastes like ass if gulped. But it's really fucking tasty in slow, small doses.

[RelentlessRolento]

why do I always read promogranate as impregnate?

so... I need to throw my DC on my trade list... too lazy to do so right now. back to insane school hours tomorrow :P

[Ahadi]

Just beat Saints Row 2. 23:27 play time, 63% complete. Very pleased with the game, though I had my "I fucking hate this game" moment. Anyone interested in buying/trading for it? If not, I'm going to throw it on my trade list. That's getting a revision tomorrow.

[Kendal]

I wish I had the money for SR2. Anyway, if Fallout 3 doesn't get here tomorrow, I will start a Evil Quest in Fable II. Ima kill ma family and become the God of War!

[Ahadi]

Well. I'm gonna start dl'ing the R2 beta and head to bed. G'night guys.

[KingBroly]

Well, I just managed to beat LittleBigPlanet's Story Mode. Holy hell, the last 2 worlds are INSANELY hard. I know Sony thought this thing would be for casual players, but no, just no. These 2 worlds are so hard it makes my blood boil. I mean...holy crap.

lol at least you finished ithttp://xfinder.org/img/351/i08h1014difi/AAA.gif

[DarthPuma]

Kendal hooked me up(again). So that code is yours if you want it and budge is still offering.

And I was kind of tempted on biting on that Zune. But I'm not real sure yet... Ya got any other cool stuff? Blu-ray movies maybe?

I don't have any, but hastings is having a sale on used ones tomorrow 30 percent off, if there is anything I could pick you up.

[Krymner]

Good morning GGT!

Another great Monday is upon us. I'm gonna try and get into Persona 3 FES: The Answer. I've been playing it off and on the last few days and I'm just finding it hard to stay motivated.

And Castlevania OoE is tight. While I still think I like DoS better, there's a big improvement from PoR.

[hankmecrankme]

My PS3 stutters now when I'm doing the create a soul mode in SCIV. It didn't do that before, and I played it for a few hours with no problems. I've got a 3 year Target warranty on it, so if it does die, I'm covered.

Maybe I'll play The Witcher EE today.

[blueshinra]

Another great Monday is upon us.
If you say so. I stayed up late last night to beat Super Mario RPG. Great ending, but now I'm tired @_@

I feel it's gonna be a good week overall. The election season's winding down, so I'm gonna be even more hooked on that news coverage than I am now. Oh, and work's going great :)

[hankmecrankme]

I'm still up. 8-) Night owl for sure. Blasting music at 5 AM is fun.

This week will kick ass.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Morning GGT.

I'm probably going to play some more LBP and a little Castlevania: OoE today. I probably won't get to play them too much for a while since I'm starting an overnight job tonight.

[corrosivefrost]

As much as I'd love to... I don't think they would go for that.

customer is always right.

[jer7583]

In like 17 hours I will be playing Fallout 3 OMG

[benjamouth]

Hey GGT,

Didn't play much over the weekend, finished Pirates of the Caribbean to get my 1000 points. Also played some MX Vs ATV, it's ok for the $12.50 I paid, not sure it's worth anymore than that. Couldn't be arsed playing much after that.

Fallout 3 tommorrow, I'm expecting something thats as good as Oblivion, I guess we'll see.

[manthing]

I think I'm over the Metroidvanias...

I just can't get into OoE...

PoR sucked...

I didn't have that problem with the Castlevania X I just picked up for psp...

[suko_32]

Is it strange if I never heard (or remembering hearing) of the title Fallout until Fallout 3?

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Illustrator is the devil's tool.

[corrosivefrost]

No. And in a couple weeks, you probably won't be hearing about it much again until Fallout 4, before 2018.
