Where Do I Apply?

Ninjas>Pirates
On another note, I hope they do keep on with the original plan and make a trilogy of Assassin’s Creed as I thought the ending was really good.

Good job Wombat
 
Where Do I Apply?

This definitely took me back to High School, to what we called Hornet Television. I wish I could do fun little things like that for the rest of my life… Though this isn’t a video I was involved in, you can see a video that my fellow HTVer made for our diving team (which consisted of only one person...)

Does The Fun Ever Start

cutscenes as a whole (except maybe in RPG’s) need to go away...games like bioshock, half life 2, and call of duty 4 are that much better because there are no cutscenes...i like when games let you get a feel for the game before the action starts but as long as those sequences aren’t too long and not interrupted by cutscene after cutscene ...

Games to Waste Your Day With

Audiosurf(http://www.audio-surf.com/)looks really sweet. And that’s a great idea to have something to go with your music that’s not a boring screen saver. But good news and bad:
bad-nothing’s happening on their website, but good-the game will be released next February.
I didn’t see any info on the site, is it coming out for consoles, or only for the pc?

Wombat Returns!

I’ll admit it, I LOLed at “One of these days someone will create a font called “sarcasm”, oh what a glorious day that will be.”

Great to see your back.

I agree as well, but games now a day are trying to be like a movie and companies probably feel if they just skip right to the action they will get negative reviews.

More Free Crap From Microsoft:
Can't say that I approve of the prices of the Xbox games but free gamerpics are always welcome. There are actually a bunch of them on there so grab'em while you can!

C) Better than dinner with Wombat

But so is sandpapering my wang, so that’s not saying much for the contest.

I try every free theme that comes out. But I always go back to carbon. Call me crazy, but I like to be able to read text.
 
Does The Fun Ever Start?

As others have said, Super Paper Mario is a horrible offender in this regard. I got it on day one. I sat all that worthless text when I just wanted to run sideways and jump on something. I put it in again the other day after not playing for a while and I couldn’t even figure out how to get out of the little menu/elevator/store town back into the level I left off at. After a few minutes of that I just took it out in disgust and I don’t think I’ll be playing it again. Too bad because the actual game mechanics are so great.

I’ll have to wait for the PC version because I can’t afford a 360 right now, but I’m still really excited about this game! I hope the PC version won’t take more than a year to come out.
 
I Swore I Would Only Buy This Game Once, and That Was in ‘93:

Seeing that magazine ad you posted reminded me of all the crap that I use to see in Gamepro and thinking "Oh man, wouldn't that be cool if I had that!?" Then, my parents of course would always say "no" because we were pretty poor. It's weird how poverty can keep you from realizing advertisers lie ALL THE TIME! ;-)
 
Happy Weekend, Any Plans?

Gah! That video was annoying… just like the real game! *Gasp*

At least you get some promised video game time. I just moved about a year ago, but I don’t remember much because I destroyed that memory from my brain. Good luck to ya! lol

GTA 4 Trailer

I’m kinda disappointed after watching this trailer. It doesn’t look as good as the last trailer. The character animation looks jerky like the old GTA. The voice acting and music is good though. Well there is still a lot of time before it comes out, so I hope Rockstar doesn’t disappointed me like GTA:SA.

My Deus Ex 3 fears... (a fanboy rant)

Dues Ex is one my favorite games,for all the reasons you said,I also enjoyed the multi-player patch (co-op would have been great). But I couldn’t even finish Dues Ex 2, every thing unique was taken out. I hope Deus Ex 3 goes back to its roots. It would be cool if the added armor.

This game is going to be sick. I can’t wait for it to be released, when ever the hell that might be.

E) All of the above.

A PS2 is better than all of the above, then again a Mario where he finally bags the princess is a good thought...
 
Thanks to UGO for this one.

Here's the cut and paste of my post:whistle2:

The live shows work great--really nice hearing people calling in. I enjoyed the Gerstmann-gate coverage a lot.

Need More Wombat?

Your everywhere now adays. Your at CheapyD celebrity status, well almost there. Congrats Wombat,i’ll check it out later. Don’t forget your CAGcast 4 life!!!

Posted by MysticHeat on 12/05 at 11:50 PM

you was blazing on the other show, keep up the good work.
 
The recent games such as bioshock, mass effect, and assassin's creed all have a distinct voice, which quite exciting. Looks like we're finally past the CG hump where all the games look like polygonal clones of one another.
 
I hope to god that the rumor that the game will be an MMO is not true. I don’t care if it has Aliens, Robocop, and Karmann-Ghias, I will NOT play (or pay for) an MMO.

This in response to the story of Jordan Weisman getting the electronic entertainment rights to Shadowrun, MechWarrior, and Crimson Skies back.
 
Microsoft is hell bent on not giving anything for free because they want to create an environment where people pay for every piece of content available.
Its sad when a dev team like Epic can’t give free downloadbles for Gears of War simply because Microsoft prefers to charge for it then build a strong community by keeping the game fresh and always being played.

I already have a PS2, but I would love to give it to my brother so he can experience the greatness that is the four Ratchet and Clank titles. And buzz is easy enough for my sister to have a game she likes that doesn't involve Burnout.
 
I plan on picking up mass effect and playing to my hearts content

Cut scenes have always been there, as long as games have had elements of story in them. They dont even have to be STORY DRIVEN necessarily.

How else would you like them to communicate to you that the princess was kidnapped? I guess they could have you play a battle at the start that you cant win, which happens in SOME RPGs, but even then, in the end there has to be a scene where Bowser flies off with the princess.

Posted in "Does the fun ever start?"

i agree. if i wanted a bunch of dialogue id read a book. I like what uncharted did, carrying the cutscene banter into the gameplay where i could still be playing a game and get all the info i needed. hopefully we can look back and not have to call this a unique idea.

When the ninja show up to kill him he will have to join the ranks of the Zombies instead. Undead makes it all better.

Easily one of my favorite games of all time, the Original I loved so much that before I could play it, I played the demo over and over again until I could save up to get it. And that’s generally considered the worst part of the game. I recently bought it again on Steam.

Hmmm… That statue looked quite familiar at the start of this trailer.

"Does the fun ever start?"

Long and boring intros are probably the number one reason why I play a lot less games now. I just don’t have the attention span. I’ve ended up playing more games that are simply pick up and play.

Does The Fun Ever Start?

"I've always griped about cutscenes, and I usually skip them. Although, Mass Effect was different for me. I loved all of the cutscenes in that game, and 90% of the dialog as well. For once I actually found myself refraining from hitting a button to skip the scenes..."
