iPhone is the best phone ever. What up.

[RelentlessRolento]

Why is it stupid that you see so many? It's an amazing piece of technology... I'm even thinking about re-upping my contract to upgrade to a 3G model and then selling my original to recoup my costs.


:lol: you read me wrong. Stupid not in terms of the phone but the number of them that I see.

do I make sense now?

[pete5883]

No, because I use my iPhone as a phone and not an entertainment device. ;) Except for web-browsing. But that's not necessarily entertainment... Chika has played more games on my iPhone than I have, I think. Hell, she's better at Topple than I am. :)
Why'd you get an iPhone if you're going to ignore half the functionality that makes people like it so much?

[corrosivefrost]

Why'd you get an iPhone if you're going to ignore half the functionality that makes people like it so much?

I got an iPhone because I wanted a smartphone that would allow me to browse the web and check my email anywhere. And I didn't want any of the phones like Blackberrys or Palms. So, it does that and adds some other nifty features, so I'm entirely satisfied.

[dmaul1114]

Does it not bug you doing the phone stuff without any kind of keyboard? Typing shit on there is a nightmare. I text faster on my Razr than I can type with the iPhone keyboard.


Yeah, I hate trying to type on my friends' iPhones as well. Much prefer the physical QWERTY keyboard on my Voyager.

But I also have no use for a smartphone. Get bombarded with e-mails from students etc. enough as it is, so the last thing I want is to have my e-mail with me everywhere I go. No desire for net access everywhere either.

My phone is just for calls and texts.

[Azumangaman]

My phone has a keyboard.
Because I'm cool and use it for texting.

The 50 Cent game is really fun. I can't believe I said that.

[RelentlessRolento]

I do hope that it's true that Perfect Dark is coming to XBLA, which strong indications point to being true.

The new KZ2 map pack looks fun... the train still reminds me too much of Gears but not enough to ruin it for me.

[Jest]

Perfect Dark > Golden Eye.... but still not good enough to be worth playing it again in this day and age. :mrgreen:

[ninja dog]

how much do you guys pay for 3G service on smartphones? I usually go for basic phones since I just use them for...phonecalls...but I considered getting a blackberry or something like that at some point.

[corrosivefrost]

I think att is $20/month for edge and $30/month for 3g

[mykevermin]

FFVII PSOne is apparently available in the JPN PSN Store for 1500 Yen.

Why? I'm aware that FF7's story wasn't that good so it's not like you're missing much by not being able to understand it, but the gameplay isn't exactly good either.

I think 97% of JRPGs had really shitty stories.

I'm sorry to be a broken record here, but your opinion on everything is filtered through, and mitigated by, your unabashed love for Lady GaGa. Even if you said which breakfast cereal you preferred, it would be questionable.

Don't forget his boner for girls with...well...boners.

banjo kazooie is so much fun cant wait to play through banjo tooie again with stop n swap

I hope they do make Perfect Dark for XBLA.

It would look something like this:

If anyone who is in the KZ2 Alpha clan is available before 3pm EST, please log on to play our battle against the Euro GAF clan. It was suppose to be a Saturday game, but due to a scheduling error, it came up on Friday at 3pm EST. I'm about to head on, even if I'm the only one.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I'll challenge that there is only ONE problem with that. the penis.

Speaking of problems, Lavos. Like a million different attack forms or whatever that are tediously easy, and then you just rape my face anyway? I don't know who wants that. Someone who has time to fritter away, CT, but not I.

[pete5883]

Myke, when are you going to give up on the US PS store? It'll never give you what you want.

[distgfx]

Well, capcom did say they sent a whole bunch of PSOne games to Sony for them to put up. So it has to happen eventually. =\

[MarkMan]

how much do you guys pay for 3G service on smartphones? I usually go for basic phones since I just use them for...phonecalls...but I considered getting a blackberry or something like that at some point.

I pay 25 on my T-Mobile G1 and 35 on my iPhone... work pays for my Blackberry one... so not sure how much that is...

[heavyd853]

Blackberries are 30 I think, at least mine(storm) is.

[dallow]

25 for 3g on my phone (slight discount).

Looking at my stats:
299MB sent
8.4GB received

[Inf^Shini]

How is the G1? Seems interesting and yet only T-mobile has it???

[BlueScrote]

End of semester = end of gaming for me. Managing to play a few hours of SFIV a week. And been playing a little bit of Cave Story. Its good shit. Thats it :(


Quoted for truth. I have two tests and a final project due next week. for the same class.

This microprocessor class is ruining my life. Text-based breakout written in assembly language. on an ARM7 processor (The same one thats in the Original DS)/GBAs.


Last night my Dual Shock 3 turned off during a MGS4 cutscene from inactivity. The cutscenes are that long. I don't really mind it though, because its nice to watch the story for a bit, play a bit. Its kind of relaxing in a way.

[willardhaven]

these are brilliant. Partially because Atlus doesn't get enough hate. Someone posted this one on another site the other day (obviously it comes from v also.) caught me off guard and almost made me spit beer all over my macbook.
http://i39.tinypic.com/33m6254.jpg


I don't get it, but I really like all those Atlus comics.

[gunm]

This looks totally fucking ridiculous...but I'm definitely getting it for the pussy! yes, I said it, just watch the damn video! lool:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/47849.html

I'd pre-order this (it's on amazon already), but the timing of the release making me believe I should just a wait a bit and see if Amazon works it's holiday sale magic on it.

[Nelo Ice]

for some reason i got groov(community game) and its actually pretty fun
its a geo wars style twin stick shooter where every thing u shoot goes along with music

[ninja dog]

whatever, I always wanted to give it a try.

I'm a bit frustrated ATM... want to play Valkyrie Chronicles but my PS3 is being used ATM.... >_< fuck. been a long day and I have yet to relax.

zew, you play Q?

He was my main in SFIII, but again, I am horrible at SFIII.

[zewone]

Yes, I play Q.

He's low tier, but I like playing with him.

[StarKnightX]

Yes, I play Q.

He's low tier, but I like playing with him.

Q is about the only character that my brother likes in SFIII.

[RelentlessRolento]

yeah, I only like playing as Q in SFIII... he's the only one that I feel normal playing.

I do love his fancy rape coat and his rape hand attack. I still think he's just in the tourney to rape some fighters.

also if this is real, I wouldn't mind one:

don't learn from me unless you just want to see a tall robot faced Conan O'brien wave his arms around looking to rape a shoto.

That Zune looks pretty hot.

I gotta say I want it...depending on price.

[hankmecrankme]

Smallwind has a great Q. Learn from that guy.

Seconded.

Today I jammed with some people. It was pretty interesting. See, they had songs that were pretty soft, while I'm used to jamming with my friend aka long ass rocking songs with solos and shit. So while I was a bit out of my element, it was still a good time.

Oh and about games:

I want AC2!! I'm such a stickler for for all things AC, I obsessed over AC1 (was going to drop a thousand bucks to make the costume...) and now here I am obsessing over AC2. It's just the perfect game for me, I love the whole setting and idea.

Although, I will agree. AC1 was pretty bad in terms of mission design - that's why I'm so dang excited for AC2, hopefully they fix that.

What good is that nice looking device with the current shitty ass Zune software?

A screen like that is made for video, and transferring videos in the Zune software is as much fun as sticking a nail up your pee hole.

Fucking POS software re-encodes any video you put on the device, even if it's already in a Zune ready format.

I bought my Zune to watch videos on. Due to the $$$$$$y software, my Zune has become my portable Hexic machine.

Zune suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Whatever works for me I'm fine with. every tech has its own evils.

Are you shitting me? Last chapter of Mirrors Edge and it keeps ducking freezing on me.

What the Relento!

I'm trying out new curses.

EDIT: so I finished It. What a dumb game. Most wasted potential since Kane and Lynch confirmed. And apparently I shot someone, because despite not using guns and making everything harder I didn't get the trophy. Okay, whatever. Fuck you, then.

Finished Guadia Quest and, consequently, Retro Game Challenge. I can haz sequel now?

[Jesus_S_Preston]

What the fuck GGT? Why we so slow?

So my gaming update, more coherent because I'm on the PC instead of the Touch:

-Playing through RE4, old school on the Gamecube. Because I only own that version. Chapter 4.

-Finished my Veteran run on RE5. Gonna work on getting all the unlockable weapons once I get back to it, but taking a break from it for now.

-Finished Mirror's Edge. I don't understand this. I didn't like it. I hated fighting people. I hated being indoors. I want a game where I'm a little Asian chick who runs on rooftops and it's fun. That's what they sold me on. That's what I wanted.

-Finished Retro Game Challenge. Fantastic little game, I really hope the sequel comes over here. Guadia Quest was really fucking fun, after I stopped being lost in the first dungeon for an hour.

-This level in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts has killed the game for me. It's the plant-y one, the one the entrance to is in the Uptown area.

-Prince of Persia is very pretty and fun to play.

[Azumangaman]

Mirror's Edge was a lot of fun. Yeah the fighting was bad, but shit, that game is unique and I'd imagine a sequel would make huge improvements.
Prince of Persia IS very pretty but its only fun for so long. If you ask me it gets really repetitive and has a terrible ending.
I'd even stretch that 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is more fun than Prince Of Persia. Because it never takes itself seriously and its fucking fun.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Woah! I just checked my one e-mail account that's linked to my gamertag (I don't use it for personal stuff) and found that I got 400 MS Points from MS for when I got a 12 month subscription to Live back in January. The code has been sitting in my inbox for two months now.

Hope it still works?

Got 3 or 4 hours of Fable II in tonight. I'm still digging it a lot. Not the greatest game, but it's fun to play. Combat is simple and fun and there's a lot of crap to do in the world with quests etc.--even without bothering with the marriage and other sim stuff.

You're right, all multiplatform games should go in General Gaming.

The marriage seemed really tacked onto Fable 2, I felt like Fable 1's love system was a little more intricate. But, that's probably because I can't remember what it was like. It's just lame that you can marry a chick and half the towns people in the first 2 minutes of getting to a new town. And just by dancing...

fuck.... been out all night going to local art gallerys...

every second saturday here in "flashy" miami there's a huge opening of all art galleries in a small area called wynwood. basically anyone and everyone who wants to "be important" or just party/get drunk is out to look at art (with very few actually caring about the art). I DJed a bit tonight but I'm exausted.

I had some video work up I'm sure you all have seen (that Mr. Walrus crap I did :lol: I hate that thing now) that a few hundred people came to see for a video show.

Art gallery opnings in Miami are not what you see in movies or TV, it's more like basically huge block parties with art in between >_<

I came home tonight to find Resistance Retribution from gamefly... I have a gamefly Resistance 2 which I beat 2 nights ago so I infected that bitch. So far it's fun but I'm not too impressed.

Been out and about today, but played some Daxter PSP. Good game and I'm enjoying it a lot.

It was a legit complaint, it's only logical all multiplatform games go into General Gaming.

[whoknows]

If that happened the other forums might die since most games nowadays are PS3/360 :-P

[distgfx]

If that's the case, then the topic should exist in the forum for the corresponding system(s) it's going to be released on which would just be stupid. :lol:

2x Red Faction topics
2x Bayonetta topics
2x Ghostbusters topics
2x Batman Arkham Asylum topics
2x BlazBlue topics (naw, FGT has this one covered)

Get my point?

[Dr Mario Kart]

Yes, there should be two threads for each game. The communities are different, even if the games are the same.

[DarkNessBear]

Yes, there should be two threads for each game. The communities are different, even if the games are the same.

That's understandable for a game that is released* and is also online centered. But, we really have no idea what is happening with Assassins Creed 2 - it's premature to start platform centric threads.

*scratch that, if a game is not centered around online (COD4, Left 4 Dead ect.) then there really is no point in having separate threads...

[Dr Mario Kart]

The communities being different doesnt have anything to do with whether the games have online content. There are 360 owners and there are PS3 owners. They should be going to as few subforums as possible to get platform specific content.

Its too messy to draw such a distinction and have them go to two different subforums.

To the extent that people are part of both communities, then they can go to two different subforums if they like.

I would be fine with having 360/PC/PS3 as a subforum for a HD gaming subforum, as long as the same thing isnt asked for other multiplatform, like gba/psp, or ds/psp or ps2/psp, etc. Its not the optimal solution, but since it does not affect me, they are welcome to it.

When you start grouping that many things together, you might as well eliminate all subforums and just go with the GAF style Gaming forum, where individual threads dont stay on the first page for very long.

[RelentlessRolento]

I don't care for the Call of Duty series but I will say the teaser for the modern warfare 2 is most well made teaser of anything I've seen in years, even if it had no coded messages.

So...I was thinking about getting this game that I vaguely know the mechanics of. I don't get the whole "real time" thing in the sense that if I play for an hour, come back 5 hours later, it's been 6 hours total in game, so I could potentially lose out on something I missed.

Yup. The fact that what Mirror's Edge was supposed to be was only 1/3 of the entire game is what made ME an awful game.

Either, way its an interesting mod (even if it ruins the mood the devs were going for, but thats the point of mods, right?).

Dead Rising does that? I don't remember that at all. I knew you only had 3 days to do whatever you had to to do. and the save game/mission structure was HORRIBLE.

That's not how Dead Rising works. There's an ingame clock that runs faster than real life, and you have 72 in game hours to do shit. Kind of like Majora's Mask.

And there's no problem with save systems. There are save points around the mall. You save at them. People just get pissed because they die before saving and are pussies. And because you can't complete all the missions in one playthrough.

Got dat Valkyria Chronicles from dat GaymeDayz!

[ninja dog]

I thought some of the segments with dudes shooting at you in Mirror's Edge were fun. When it was just like 3 guys staggered throughout a parking garage, there was actually some fun strategy involved in planning out how to take them down. but then shit like the SERVER ROOM god just shoot me in the head.

the platforming was good, but what you do in the first level is what you do in the rest of the game. It's not quite auto-platforming like Prince of Persia/Ass Creed and it's fun enough for as long as the game lasts, but I can't see a sequel. If they do a sequel, it needs all kinds of crazy shit--they need to get out of the whole realism thing.

Wow, you're right, I like their old style though since I had gotten so used to it but I'll adjust.

I'm sorry to be a broken record here, but your opinion on everything is filtered through, and mitigated by, your unabashed love for Lady GaGa. Even if you said which breakfast cereal you preferred, it would be questionable.
Still doesn't explain your blind fanboyism towards a game that was mediocre at best. I mean you could give me a real answer rather than attack my musical interests.

I had assumed that maybe his interest on downloading the game was more because it would be cheaper to download it from the PSN then it would be to track down a physical english copy.

I agree with it would be hard to see a sequel, due to it being like a one trick pony. And also their DLC was a total bust... so I doubt they'll try anything more.

The game was really enjoyable, I liked the whole mechanic of feeling like you are really running across these roof tops and I think that the game really stands on its own and doesn't need a sequel to "explain" anything.

No.

PoP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mirror's Edge>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>50 Cent.

The communities being different doesnt have anything to do with whether the games have online content. There are 360 owners and there are PS3 owners. They should be going to as few subforums as possible to get platform specific content.

Its too messy to draw such a distinction and have them go to two different subforums.

To the extent that people are part of both communities, then they can go to two different subforums if they like.

I would be fine with having 360/PC/PS3 as a subforum for a HD gaming subforum, as long as the same thing isnt asked for other multiplatform, like gba/psp, or ds/psp or ps2/psp, etc. Its not the optimal solution, but since it does not affect me, they are welcome to it.

When you start grouping that many things together, you might as well eliminate all subforums and just go with the GAF style Gaming forum, where individual threads dont stay on the first page for very long.

Sorry this is kind of late -

I agree with you!

[Trakan]

Where the hell have you been, darknessbear? This is how it has been for years on CAG.

The CAG community decided long ago they wanted a thread for each system.

[KingBroly]

Well, a few CAG's (myself included) think it's not the most organized way to do things, especially with the minor differences of pretty much every single game coming out.

[tiredfornow]

Well, a few CAG's (myself included) think it's not the most organized way to do things, especially with the minor differences of pretty much every single game coming out.Just incase you didn't see it, Trakan. :)

Why would you want one thread? If the game has multiplayer and people are playing it.. it would be kind of a nuisance to post up what version of the game you're playing every single time as opposed to just going into the system specific thread and saying "anybody up for a game right now?" If I bought a game for 360, I'd rather just read through the 360 side of it rather than sift through the PS3 posts.

[DarkNessBear]

Where the hell have you been, darknessbear? This is how it has been for years on CAG.

The CAG community decided long ago they wanted a thread for each system.
Oh, I know. It's always been a subtle annoyance, but just in terms of recent events and the unnecessarily creation of 2 AC2 threads (we don't even know if it's going to be exclusive to the GBA).

And as I stated I agree that it's definitely ideal to have a released game in multiple threads (mariokart made me realize this), but with AC2 - the TEASER itself should only have on thread, so all discovered material can be in one place. Found a lot of information on AC2 that some may miss if they aren't aware of both threads.

BUT, I threw this idea away and just went with "I agree", because it gets to complicated making special rules for a particular game. So I admit, that it is best to keep it at a thread for each forum.

Hope that makes sense.

[DarthPuma]

My ds has been getting mad love the past few days:
-Completed the first world of Henry Hatsworth. It's stupid good, and surprisingly challenging. It's the most fun I've had with a platformer....ever
-Ten songs into Elite Beat Agents. It's actually hard now. Canned Heat has me wanting to break my DS.
-Played like 10 minutes of Retro Game Challenge. I like the concept, but the only game I have unlocked is the Galaga clone and I can't even beat the second challenge.
-Stuck on the second mini game of Rhythm heaven. I must just suck at games, because I'm the only person alive who can't beat it.
-Played the first case and a half of Pheonix Wright. I'm in love with it.
-Started Chrono Trigger, got up to the part where you warp in the time machine, and that screen with the trippy visual just plays over and over and the music loops. Gay.

[DarkNessBear]

Elite Beat Agents gets friggen tough. Try not to slam your stylus onto your ds screen in frustration, I've almost punctured holes in my DS!

I've also been playing my DS a bunch; Pokemon Pearl baby!! (Yea, i'm a little behind)

[tiredfornow]

1942: Joint Strike is fun, but it should've been five bucks and not ten.
-Started Chrono Trigger, got up to the part where you warp in the time machine, and that screen with the trippy visual just plays over and over and the music loops. Gay.Maybe you should buy your games instead of pirating them. Thats a piracy measure taken by SE on most of their DS games to keep people like you from playing them. *wink* ;) *wink*

[Brak]

Fifty Cents and the Case of the Missing Crystal Skull is alright, but it's really, really janky.

If the controls were as tight as Army of Two, and the upgrades were as tight (u c wat i did thar) as Army of Two, then it would have been awesome.

The points / combos system was really cool... but not as good as the fabulous The Club.

[StarKnightX]

-Played the first case and a half of Pheonix Wright. I'm in love with it.

First game I assume? The first game is pretty good all around , with the third case being the only one thats kinda lame (plot wise and has a few annoying parts). The fifth case is kinda annoying as well but only because of some of the DS functions added to the puzzles.

I went to see the Dragonball movie too, but I went because I knew it would be horrible and my friends and I wanted the lulz. Then after it was over we sneaked into the 1am showing of Hannah Montana, and it was the far better movie of the two.

The first and second case are kinda short but the remaining 3 cases will take some time to finish. Overall unless your really smart/lucky during the court room portions , cheat and use a guide , or play the game nonstop the game should last you about a week or more , give or take how much time you put in per sitting.

Maybe , the second game took longer for me since a few times I got really stuck as for what to do next. Either way my week basis is on playing for about 1-2 hours each day , which is about what I did. Plus I got held up at a few places.

Your talking about quick saves right? I didn't know that until the second game either. I just played through usually until I got to a regular save point then would stop or take a break.

[ninja dog]

I use a faq for PW if I don't get it quickly. Sometimes the hints for what evidence you need to use just aren't good or require you to remember one small tidbit that was mentioned when you were playing a week ago that you would never remember. (good thing I don't plan on going into criminal law!)


and I always use a FAQ for the grand finales in the last case. It kills the climax if I have to keep guessing and resetting my DS!

I think the only times in the first game I had to use a faq was in case 3 ; day 3 (the t-bone steak) and a few times in case 5. The rest weren't too hard. The second game I had to use a faq quite a few times since the second one seemed much more dense when it came to giving you clues. The pysch locks in particular were annoying.

[FriskyTanuki]

How necessary would it be to try to get the first Phoenix Wright before playing Justice for All? JFA was easily available when I got my DS a few months ago and I see that the first is a bit hard to find at GS around here, so I may try to get a copy sometime soon.

I finished Tokyo Beat Down and the best things about it is the final boss fight The boss shows up with a tank and chases you as you run away from him while picking up rocket launcher ammo so you can turn around and shoot him to slowly damage the tank. and the special move one of the other characters you barely get to play with has, which is a painful-looking power bomb.

[distgfx]

It is absolutely necessary to play the Phoenix Wright games in the order they were meant to be played in to get the full experience.

[ihadFG]

Agreed. The plot is continuous, and considering it is one of the main draws of the series, I wouldn't recommend playing the games out of order.

Thanks. I'll see if the one close place on the locator has a copy of the first game tomorrow.

As far as gaming goes, from Blockbuster I also grabbed Sonic Chronicles and it's pretty good.


And speaking of Phoenix Wright, I'm playing Apollo Justice right now. Good stuff, although Trials and Tribulations is my favorite Phoenix Wright so far...

[distgfx]

Ugh, I couldn't finish Apollo Justice. I just didn't care anymore since I wasn't playing as Phoenix.

[whoknows]

I think you play as him in the last case...or so I hear.

[StarKnightX]

Just finished Gears of War : Aspho Fields. It was pretty good , although if you were expecting it to make any major revelations about the story in the series you'll be kinda disappointed.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I played Trials and Tribulations. Not for me.

Just finished the RE4 playthrough I started this weekend. Seriously, one of my top 5 games ever.

I laughed out loud at "throw away your ds".

I skipped to Trials because it was like eight dollars new. And I don't like it, everything takes forever. I've only made it through one case because I can't sit down and get through it. I bought it in July.

Well the end of CT sucks. Can't beat Lavos, have to look up every side quest in an FAQ because I have no indication of where they are, and each one I've tried leads to a boss fight that kills me and puts me back at the beginnig of the side quest. This after barely having any trouble in the game until now. WTF game!

[hankmecrankme]

The secret is, don't waste time on the internet, don't watch TV, and don't have a girlfriend. Simple. ;)

[RelentlessRolento]

to be honest, the easiest to eliminate is TV... TV is such a huge waste of time and less productive than the internet, though the internet is still a big chunk...

I barely watch TV. The only show I watch is 24 right now, and I barely watch movies at all just because I find games more interesting.

I know a few relatives of mine who stopped watching TV and doing so they lost alot of weight because they actually felt like they had to do something.

[gunm]

TV is awesome. Life is a balance.

[DarkNessBear]

Hah, great tips. So I stopped TV and TRIED playing Mass Effect. I haven't played for a while and I left off at this fire planet... me and my team members are level 10 and we have to go on foot now and I'm getting CREAMED.

I'm at the part that was in the E3 Footage (the first combat footage I think) where that huge robot thing lands and you are right into combat. Well, my teamates all get killed in like 1 shot by some random lazers and I get killed in 1 shot. I've tried it like 5 times now and my teamates die right when the battle starts and there are literally like 10 guys completely surrounding us.

What in the world am I doing wrong?! Am I at a late stage in the game at to low of a level? Or do I just suck at combat?

Needless to say... that was not a welcoming experience.

*added* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWLeLZzoLSA

[heavyd853]

I remember that part being a bitch.

I think what I did was just hide behind the crates and just spam some powers or something.

[DarkNessBear]

Ah, so is level 10 alright for that part? Should I be getting one shotted?

[heavyd853]

I dunno about one shotted, but I do remember getting fucked up real bad if I wasn't actively avoiding getting hit.

It might've happened though, but my memory is very vague. I just remember dying like 8 times and flipping out because I would die in like 2 seconds sometimes.

[DarkNessBear]

Ah ok, I'll just keep on trying then! Thanks.

[benjamouth]

I played 2 of the worst rated (according to Metacritic) 360 games this weekend, History Channel: Battle for the Pacific is as bad as its review scores suggest, at least it was short though, the Achievements sucked as well.

Shellshock 2 I actually thought was ok, I'm not sure why it's been rated so badly, seem like jus a generic FPS, it's not particularly bad. I've certainly played worse.

Also made some good progress on Silent Hill: Homecoming, which I'm enjoying so far. Don't like it as much as 2 or 3, but it's decent.

Finished co-oping Gears 2 on Insane as well, I always miss Gears a bit once I've finished it, it's such a good co-op game.

[Maklershed]

Hey ben - watched Final Justice over the weekend. Terrible of course. The main girl in it was surprsingly hot though. She looked like a younger Elaine (from Seinfeld).

Yeah she was not bad looking at all, I thought there was some good riffs on Final Justice, most of the "fat man always looking for food" stuff was gold.

I also watched a couple of those Riff Trax DVDs this weekend, Little Shop of Horrors and Reefer Madness, both very pretty funny, well worth buying IMO.

[Maklershed]

I think the hottest girl in any of the MST3k movies is the dark haired one from Boggy Creek II .. which is coincidentally (or not) one of my favorite episodes. :)

Anyway, VIDEO GAMES - I'm currently playing through Half Life 2 on the 360. I played it before on the PC but just did the main story. I wanna burn through the OG game again and get to Episode 1 and 2.

[Chibi_Kaji]

The only TV I really watch is American Justice and Cold Case files... but I guess DVD's could count as watching TV to.

I've been re-watching some of Ghost in the Shell(a few of the movies and the TV series). I forgot how much I loved the series... If only they would make a 3rd season. I'm also waiting for the Bluray release of the 1st movie. I'm kind of interested in seeing how the remake turned out.

It's a matter of prioritizing hobbies in your free time, to make time for the ones you enjoy the most.

For me it's roughly:

Girlfriend
Friends/family/social outings
Movies
Reading (has increased a lot since getting a Kindle)
TV (currently watch Lost, 24, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, often watch shows on DVD as well)
Sports (if my teams are on in a big game this jumps to the top)
Video games
Goofing on the internet

I still have a fair amount of free time despite working a lot, but not much for games as my interest in them has dwindled over the years.

So you just have to decide if you like games more than Internet goofing and TV and if so cut back on those.

[RelentlessRolento]

Well, Ill be on CAG alot this week off and on because I'm editing my damn FGT film 24/7 till a week from today since it's due for class then...

So far I don't know if I'm happy with it, but it still has a ways to go. Once I'm done I still will be working on it to fix it up the way I want it on my terms, and not for a class.

[dallow]

LOTS of people on my friends list playing VC which is nice to see.

Haven't used my PS3 much at all.
Mostly played Blue Dragon and RE5 again with a friend. That was nice, I went to his place and stayed up till 7am to finish it.

Bought more games, still kicking myself. Contemplating 2 more today.
Like 15 new games in a week and half... not to mention the DSi.

I need to settle myself down, and just finish Blue Dragon.

[ninja dog]

I'm done buying games for a while...gamefly from now on!

[distgfx]

I'm done buying games for a while...gamefly from now on!

Agreed - and the trick on gamefly to get games you want on low availability still works! :applause:

[Jest]

Just got back from buying Killzone 2. I wish there was a viable replacement for Gamefly in Canada.

And VC pisses me off. I wish I knew they I was going up against 2 tanks and a bunch of lancers before I deployed scouts and snipers. I'm in chapter 8, on the mission right after Welkin and Alicia bury the dead Imperial. I have to meet back up with the 7s and can't use the Edelweise til I get there D:.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'm on chapter 11 on VC... it gets easier once you start focusing on leveling ur scouts and shock troopers to elite level.

[seanr1221]

What trick? Leave only low games on your list?

Gamefly for me too for a while. I need to just buy the big releases and games if they're under 20.00.

I hate having games in my collection that don't get touched. Maybe I'll put up a bunch of stuff this weekend :)

[Jest]

Can't wait for the FGT film ReRo. The credits sequence was amazing. When your done you can do up some arcade stick art for me righto? :lol:

[distgfx]

What trick? Leave only low games on your list?

Leave a single game on your list. I get the game I want in no time, takes a day at most.

[seanr1221]

Oh cool. I'll have to try that.

[RelentlessRolento]

I'll have alot more time on my hands at that time. When you see me say the film is done just let me know about the stick.

So far I've been working on 2 seconds of film for the past 2 hours :lol:

[Azumangaman]

What versionof Double Agent are you playing? The good one or the shitty one?
The 360 version?

[Jesus_S_Preston]

STOP and play the previous gen version.

Unless you already have and then I sound dumb.

[hankmecrankme]

My time is usually spent on bullshitting with friends, internet, messing with my PC, music, playing drums, and playing games. I do watch an occasional movie.

I don't watch TV unless I'm snacking. And even then, not for long. Ugh, shit's tuuuuuuuuuuurible.

Double Agent on PC is a buggy mess. Ugh, don't let the Chinese make Splinter Cell games.

[dallow]

Undertow for 400 points (half price) worth it?

[tiredfornow]

Play the demo, dummy.

[dallow]

Stupid PS3 had me thinking backwards. :)
Will try as soon as I get home.

[dmaul1114]

I didn't care for Undertow. Got it for free as the compensation for live being down for most of a month after Xmas 2007.

[dallow]

I just remember Crash Commando on PSN being compared to it a lot, and I loved that game.
Hope they were right.

[tiredfornow]

Not even close. Commando is 9-1/2x more fun.

[dmaul1114]

Yeah, definitely check out the demo. I didn't care for it as it wasn't my cup of tea, but others seemed to like it a lot.

Seemed to be one of those games that people either loved or hated--though of course I think a lot were jaded by just getting the game as compensation for over a month of Live being mostly down.

[gunm]

Played some R2 last night. I don't like the invisible enemies running through a confusing level layout.

[tiredfornow]

Resistance 2 was so goddamn horrible.

[depascal22]

I like Resistance 2. It's not my fave but it's a fun diversion from other games.

Some people need to stop acting like every FPS that comes out has to be the second coming of Goldeneye.

[gunm]

Yeah, R2 is ok. The AI can be pretty intense, but stuff like those invisible critters charging you in a rather confusing level layout was irritating for irritation's sake.

Anyway, who here is getting Outrun on XBLA? Now I remember why I held off on PAA1--wanted to make sure I had enough points for Outrun!

[Azumangaman]

STOP and play the previous gen version.

Unless you already have and then I sound dumb.
No thanks, its fun.

[tiredfornow]

Goldeneye was fun for its time, but the game really sucks now. I just enjoyed R1 a whole shitload more than R2. Sequels should always be better and the "huge scale" R2 was on wasn't really that great and the game didn't look all that great either.

Oh well, just my opinion.

[BlueScrote]

I like Resistance 2. It's not my fave but it's a fun diversion from other games.

I was really disappointed by R2's singleplayer story compared to the first one. The first one had a good alternate history vibe whereas R2 just seemed like generic sci-fi.

Also, no ITS OVER 1000!!!!! posts GGT? I am disappointed.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

OH SHIT Just found my DVDs of the old school Dragonball dub.

Digital underwear ftw!!!

[RelentlessRolento]

Resistance 2 was fun, but it really didn't do much for me.


this did alot more for me... and any other Monster Hunter freaks...

I've yet to play any of the new outruns and I know they are good so I'll be getting it this week.

[Chibi_Kaji]

Speaking of Dragonballl. I just watched a first look video Giantbomb (http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-dragonball-evolution/17-411/) posted for the DBE game. It looks terribly awesome... if the movie is anywhere near as good I might have to see it.

[depascal22]

I enjoyed R1 more also but I'm not going to go as far as saying that the sequel was "goddamn horrible". The level design could've been better but they introduced a killer co-op mode and the rest of the online play isn't half bad.

I went into R2 expecting horrible things since everyone here seems to hate it so much. I was pleasantly surprised to get a decent FPS and a dozen hours of fun.

As for Outrun, I'm not getting it. To this day, I've only spent 1600 points on the Marketplace and I'm not planning on spending more unless we get a Marvel vs Capcom 2 with online play and even then I probably won't get it.

[FriskyTanuki]

R2's co-op mode is one of the best out there and probably the only reason I'd keep playing it.

The single-player was decent and at least good enough to finish, though it would have been nice if they could've taken another six months or so to continue working on polishing it and fleshing out the MP a bit more, as well.

[tiredfornow]

<---obscure

[gunm]

I think my kids would enjoy the arcade-yness of Outrun, so I'm gonna pick it up.

It's just DBZ Shin Budokai with the movie characters... pick up Shin Budokai instead, don't support anything related to that awful movie.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Didn't DBE get like a 2/10 from somewhere? The game I mean.

I wish we could get a good DB game that isn't a 1 on 1 fighter.

[FriskyTanuki]

Dragon Ball Advance Adventure or Dragon Ball Origins don't fit the bill?

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I don't know what those are.

[js1]

Man, I really want to enjoy Resistance 2's single but I get so tired of the dying! I am stuck on this part where these two giant enemies come out of this warehouse and go right past my soldiers and go only for me and I've tried this part at least 8x or more in the past month and I am getting pissed. But I really enjoy the co-op section of the game me and my son play it splitscreen and I have not really delve into the versus mode too much yet.

What seem to be the problem with it?

[FriskyTanuki]

[RelentlessRolento]

My biggest problems with R2 is the lighting system and the unbalance of the weapons/enemies... The dark parts really bothered me just because the flashlight seemed useless, not limited like it should have.

[tiredfornow]

You have to crouch and put your nose against the wall, then peek out and shoot whatever enemy is in your way, js1. If any game needed a cover system.. that game was it. And make sure you're using that standard machine gun as every other gun in the game sucks. I think I went through both games using that standard machine gun and the standard alien gun unless you were forced to use another weapon.
