I don't know anybody who plays WoW. I did, but he doesn't talk to anybody anymore. 41 hours spent on any game is a long dang time.

I'm not knocking you though.. my mind is just blown.

Every time.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I agree. :) But lack of sleep due to it. . . :cry:

Oh well, it went really well. We have a show on Sunday though. :cold:
 
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']I'd say about 8-10 hours of that was idling (I fell asleep at my friends house in front of my computer).

But yeah, I need to go to work more instead of playing WoW. :bomb:[/QUOTE]

I fell asleep while playing Fallout last night.

I woke up to see I had a Super Mutant's arm targeted in VATS. I shot it off, and went back to sleep :bouncy:

Haha, blow out those amps ;)
 
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']What do you play, hank?[/QUOTE]
Well, I play drums, and my guitarist friend and I play hard rock and blues, but I'm playing with another band that's a bit lighter. 2 acoustic guitars should clue you in as to how much lighter.;)

I probably won't even be mic'd, but if I am, then those amps are toast. :bomb:
 
Inspired by the NeoGAF thread.

What are your gaming plans for the summer?

For me I'm going to be purchasing Mass Effect tomorrow from TRU for $5 and "renting" MLB 2K9 from Gamestop (buying it used and returning within 7 days) so I can play it in the meantime while I sell stuff to fund a purchase of the game.

There will be a lot of MLB 2K9 franchise with the Mets combined with me working through my backlog. My backlog consists of Rainbow 6 Vegas, GRAW, King Kong, Orange Box, and Gears 2. I want to finish off all of these games before Madden drops on August 14th. Should be easy enough as I'm about halfway through R6V and GRAW and only plan on playing HL2 and both episodes, no Portal or TF2, I hate TF2's gameplay and Portal isn't my cup of tea. And Gears 2 I just want to beat on the normal difficulty, no achievement whoring, at least for now. If I can fit in enough time I might try to complete COD4 single player on my own gamertag as I beat it at my friend's house.

Also at the end of June I'll be purchasing a 4000 point card off eBay for $35 and picking up Cloning Clyde, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2, so we'll see about COD4.

Depending on how much time I can get in gaming as well, it's lesser priority but I want to get GTA4 and Left 4 Dead. I'm not dying to play these games but I'll have the money to afford them and if I can beat everything I have I'll get them but I have no qualms waiting until after the summer to pick them up. And I'll be keeping my eye on FNR4. All my friends are jizzing on UFC but the Fight Night series has always had a special place in my heart.

Oh yeah I'll pick up Oblivion GotY from TRU tomorrow if it's there. $10 is a good enough price to throw it straight into the backlog. I'll probably throw Mass Effect into the backlog too but it will be first priority once I beat those other games.

[quote name='tiredfornow']41 hours of WOW this week, Mr. Anduhson? Yikes. :whistle2:X[/QUOTE]

When I read that all I could think of was...I spent LESS time at work this week than he played video games. bastard.

I played wow for ~2 months before I realized I just didn't have the time to devote to it to get satisfaction out of playing.
 
My plans are to make a good dent in my backlog. Maybe some Gears 2 or RE5 if my friends are available for some multiplayer.
 
[quote name='Logg']I will be playing Sacred 2 all summer[/QUOTE]


I can believe that.

I spent all of last summer playing Diablo 2 (after they announced Diablo 3). I don't know what it is about Diablo 2, but I have spent more of my life playing it than I have spent playing any single console I have owned.

I'm burning through as much of my backlog as I can for now. E3 week I'll pick up a 360 and go through:

Crackdown
Halo 3
Blue Dragon
Assassin's Creed
Lost Odyssey
GTA IV
Mass Effect
Too Human
Dead Rising

Generally in that order. Doesn't look like I'll be missing much for the next couple months.

Wow, that's awesome. Have fun with your 360. Good idea waiting for E3 too, they might announce a slim model or something we haven't even thought of yet.

Looking at that list, the only ones I'd spend time on are Halo 3, Assassins Creed, and Mass Effect.

The rest are bleh, although I haven't played Lost Odyssey, so no comment on that...
 
hands down best link drawing I've ever seen:

I was without a 360 or PS3 for many months now. I finally got another PS3 (on the way in the mail) and i ended up getting 3 360s in 2 days time (long story). Anyhow, i decided to catch up with all the demos i missed from the last time i had a 360, and wow.. Other then Outrun and MAYBE bionic commando, theres been nothing but crappy games released. I havent missed a thing. I was so disappointed with Virtual On the most.. Horrible controls.

Anyhow, im happy i have HD systems again, although there isnt much im looking forward to playing these days. I still have to unwrap Punchout for wii, i havent even touched it yet. Ugh.
 
[quote name='dallow']Wii/PS3/360 games suck for the most part.

I'm going stick to DS.[/QUOTE]


I don't know, DS has been hit or miss with me... though yeah I agree...

to be honest most of the games I tend to have more fun with and spend more time with are on my portables. It's weird too because portables seem like they really are populated with alot of JRPG...

don't know if that's good or bad.
 
Yeah, I kinda agree... also, I have to support PSP because I do think it's always overlooked.

Patapon and Monster Hunter games have taken way more chunks of my time than most console games.
 
fuck the PSP.

PC/360/DS has been the best to me this gen.

PC Because it's cheap
360 because the games are great and I likes XBL
DS cause it's the place where games from 10 years ago can still be made.
 
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']You'll decide for yourself soon enough, but I wouldn't waste my time with half of those games, pete.[/QUOTE]
I dunno, I'm looking forward to every one of them. Too Human a little less, though.
[quote name='nyprimus4']Wow, that's awesome. Have fun with your 360. Good idea waiting for E3 too, they might announce a slim model or something we haven't even thought of yet.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I'm kind of hoping they announce a slim, but also kind of hoping they don't. That would mean I'd have to wait another couple months to get one.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']Yeah, I kinda agree... also, I have to support PSP because I do think it's always overlooked.[/QUOTE]

That makes absolutely no sense.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']I'm addicted to Zen Pinball. :oops:[/QUOTE]
The pinball game on XBLA is pretty good.
 
[quote name='dallow']There's just more variety of gameplay on DS.
JRPGs are just one of many fruitful genres.[/QUOTE]
I don't know, the DS just does nothing for me. Neither does the PSP really. I'm hesitant to sell the PSP just because I can still put movies/music/etc. on it with the 8GIG card I have.

Is all you need. :)
 
DS and PSP don't do much for me because I've always been in school and never had a chance to play them besides at home and I would much rather be playing video games on my 32" LCD with 5.1 surround sound and achievements.

And to anyone saying console games suck you must not be playing the right ones or have too much money/time and be done with everything already. I'm not even close to experiencing everything the 360 has to offer in terms of software.
 
Yeah there's too much stuff to play that no one should be saying "man theres no games to play"

I even love the Wii. I have like 15 games for wii.

The PSP just sucks dick. I think it's a pretty moronic thing to say that because it's unpopular you have to like it, too.
 
Battlefield 1943 looks awesome.

  • $15 on XBLA, PSN, and PC.
  • Multiplayer only
  • 3 maps set in the Pacific of WWII
  • 24 players
  • Completely destructible environments
  • Planes (which you can parachute out of), vehicles, and carrier boats with turrets attached to them
  • Awesome looking graphics and what looks to be solid gameplay
I'm probably going to be picking up a 4,000 point card when MvC2 drops since you can get them for $35 flat off eBay. This game looks like it can be a fun little distraction over the summer to hold me over until the big daddy releases of the Fall.

No more than blindly saying it sucks dick. :roll:
