Game Stop Fails me Again

By woodcan Today 10:12 PM
This is my story of how yet again Game Stop fails on trade-in game prices. So, I recently got wind and interest in a fighting game called BlazBlue which was not in my gaming budget so I dug out some old games to trade in towards the purchase. I cruised over to the "GS Trade-in Value" thread in the CAG forums to get prices for my 4 games and calculate what they would net me with the extra 20% deal they have running right now.

GameStop Trade-in Value Thread calculations:
$7.00 Enemy Territory: Quake Wars (360)
$8.50 C&C: Red Alert 3 (360)
$8.00 Wall-E (PS3)
$2.50 Lair (PS3)
-------
$26.00 = TOTAL
$31.20
= +20% Deal


Actual GameStop in-store Value:
$20.04 = TOTAL
$24.05
= +20% Deal


Well, word of warning, this is the 5th time in a row that the values I've taken from the aforementioned thread were incorrect as you can see above. Also, per usual the...

What is Love ?

By whywakeup Today 07:33 PM
Updated by whywakeup Today 08:35 PM
NOUN: 1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness

Since a very long time ago, people have searched for the meaning of love. But even the great philosophers, with their profound definitions, could not fully touch its true essence. In a survey of 4-8 year olds, kids share their views on love. But what do little kids know about love? Read on and be surprised that despite their young and innocent minds, kids already have a simple but deep grasp of that four-letter word.


"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

"When someone loves you,...

I hate my Credit Union...and Paypal

By vlv723 Today 06:30 PM
So I thought I was going to have a great 4th of July weekend when I received some early birthday money in form of a check.

So I deposit it on Wednesday and usually, $100 is available immediately and it's a 1 day business hold until they'll release the hold on the rest of the funds.

I checked my bank account this morning and wouldn't you know, the money didn't get released. On top of that, my paypal "pending" payment for my airfare going back home to California has cleared.

Oh it gets better, I did a "name your own price" last night on Priceline so I can get a rental car and it already got my cash and I have a $75 check that may clear tomorrow or Monday.

So if I added everything up, I would be about negative something something if the funds are not available on Monday. And damnit, I wanted to talk to them today about it but they're closed in observance of Independence day.

Thanks a lot Credit...

Now I can enjoy fighters on 360 once again.

By jman619 Today 05:16 PM
Before I just had to buy all fighters on ps3 because I loved the d-pad,but now I have a second choice. I really like the Street Fighter fight pad. I still rather use the ps3 controller over it. Although for the 360 the fight pad is the best option for me anyway. I can't stand that regular 360 controller for fighters. Everything else is fine with it except for fighters. Far as the character on the fight pad I didn't care. I bought it cheap in true cheapass fashion. I don't care if it was Chun-li giving Blanka a blowjob as long as the d-pad is solid.

Dead Rising: 0 to respect in 50 levels or less

By =XcL= Today 03:44 PM
A few day ago I finished Dead rising after going through the 3 endings and getting all the “do this over and over,” achievements, at first like all 360 and other Xbox games I started playing it and started to hate you know the kind, Why are you moving so slow, why the hell can’t I fight anything and not get killed by random low level nothing. Pissed me off but then I rolled over to the internet running through forum review etc. to find something redeeming about the game and me not throwing it on the shelf and never playing it again , and I came across this trick I heard about this a long time ago but I didn’t remember it the maintenance tunnel zombie vehicular zombie manslaughter trick , pretty much it’s simple logic any zombie survivalist will tell you take one heavy vehicle add tunnels thick with zombies drive crush zombies under tires , Hello XP (or PP as it called in the game) !! Yeah grinding as any RPG I love grinding doing something mundane and lather rinse and repeating getting...

Ahh, the joys of getting Asian edition of games. (And why Play-Asia SUCKS)

By PhaperPlane Today 11:32 AM
Now, as you may know, I am not pleased that there is no EU/UK release of BlazBlue. So I decided to import it (purchasing it from the net tonight or tomorrow). The American version is only the collectors edition, which is much more expensive (Were talking £40-£50). The only standalone versions are the Japanese and Asian editions. The Japanese version is not only much more expensive and, it's in Japanese. So I looked at the Asian version! To Play-Asia, everyone's favourite import site, they are able to ship to any location! Oh wait:


What the hell is all this?
Quote:
This item is not available for shipping to
European Union
Iceland
Liechtenstein
Norway
Why is this not available for shipping to me? It doesn't even explain why! Grrr! >:(
I'll get it somewhere else, but I might need another controller, so, lets look at the Dual Shock 3!

WHAT. THE. .
Not this rubbish again!

Please, Take My Money

By Temporaryscars Yesterday 10:31 PM
This is probably a long shot, but here goes nothing.

I'm looking to buy a very old laptop. Here are some specs that I'm looking for:

Nothing over 300 mhz processor
Nothing over 32MB of memory
It MUST have a CD rom
It must have windows 95 on it (i'll consider 98)

Let me know if you have anything like this. I don't mind a couple physical defects, but the thing must work.

The Eulogy of the Fighting Game

By Chuplayer Yesterday 10:13 PM
Fighting games are dead. I learned this today when playing BlazBlue. Fighting games have become a joke. They're nothing more than soulless shells created by companies that have lost touch with the fighting spirit long ago. There are the obvious ones like Capcom Fighting Jam and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, but some of the games that are taken seriously today are gimmicky fanboy fests that don't even try anymore. Tag team trends, super combo trends, juggle trends, and trends that I don't even want to name here.

Gone are the days of the spirit of true competition. Skillful fighting and sound tactics have been replaced by combo this, juggle that, parryfests of epic proportions. It's no longer about being the better gamer. It's about being the better fanboy.

Not unlike how the brawl at Tupelo Sports Arena between Jerry Lawler and Bill Dundee spurred the creation of hardcore wrestling that eventually tarnished the public perception of wrestling in Japan and bred hardcore...

Testing the Best Open World Games (Xbox 360)

By danddman Yesterday 05:12 PM
Updated by danddman Today 03:28 PM (Adding more games to the list)
First blog post. Here we go...

With my Xbox Gold Account having expired, I have been playing a lot of open world games recently. I enjoy the genre, or at least the genres that usually come with the play type. I thought it would be interesting if I made a comparison of all the open world games I have been playing/ are going to play. My goal is to, by the end of the summer, have a good list of a lot of open world games and what I thought of them. Here is the first list I have of games I have played or will be playing for this experiment.

Note: This list will be exclusively Xbox 360 titles
-Oblivion (Completed)
-Fallout 3 (Currently Playing)
-GTA 4 (Currently Playing)
-Mass Effect (Completed as much as I am going to)
-Prototype (Future Play)
-Crackdown (Future Play)
-Red Faction: Guerilla (Future Play)
-Saint's Row 2 (Future Play)
Edited for suggestions:
-Assassin's Creed (Future Play)
