[quote name='jer7583']I just now solved the game tape: DRAGON QUEST 4.

It was a glorious and fanciful 36 hours, and it is now available on amazon for $30.[/QUOTE]
Hm, longer than I thought. Looking forward to finally starting it.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']Why the fable cancellation?[/quote]

Cos I bought Dead Space, SR2 and Fifa 09 last week, and I still have about 30 games sealed and another 20-30 that I've started and not finished. I also have Fallout 3 coming next week.

Didn't seem much point adding another game to the backlog. The deal from Amazon for the $10 GC didn't seem that great and I suspect Fable 2 might be a quick-dropper. Even if it doesn't drop quick I can pick it up next year when I've thinned out my collection a bit.
 
[quote name='manthing']What's all this Castlevania talk about?

I hope it's not the Wii fighting game...

:whistle2:|[/QUOTE]

new metroidvania game for DS - Order of Ecclesia, I think.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']new metroidvania game for DS - Order of Ecclesia, I think.[/quote]


Whoa...

For some reason I thought that was coming out later, even though PoR came out around this time a few years back...


Looks like I have a reason to pick up my :ds: for the first time since Space Invaders Extreme!!

:bouncy:
 
I just switched my Fallout 3 shipping to Release Day Shipping. $6 for that big box to get shipped, I will take it. I should do this on my Gears 2 as well. Tonight I am going to the Fable 2 release I believe. I will probably get to get there late and be the first to leave with the game like I did with GTA IV and have people get pissed that I didn't have to wait outside in the cold. hehe

Credit about 5 of those hours to being stupidly obsessed with making money in Torneko's shop by going back and forth flipping armor between towns, and credit another 5 to the freaking addictive monster arena betting minigame.

I also didn't do much with the pioneer town or do the 6th chapter. I feel like i got my money's worth and I absolutely LOVED the game. Will buy again when it's cheaper.
 
Good norning... Err... Afternoon.

I think I may be losing my love for Disgaea. It seems like I'm forgetting the story and what's going on because I'm too focused on grinding. I don't know. I'm not going to give up on it yet. I figure I'll throw in another 4 hours collectively (putting me at 10 hours total) and if I still don't feel any love, I'm going to dump it.

And my quest for an arcade stick is officially on hiatus. Financial changes and what not :roll:

And I feel horrible today.
 
Sweet, my co-worker buddy lvled my druid to 49 this weekend while I was at my other friend's wedding. I've never been this high a level in WoW before! :p

[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']So should Fallout 3 be in-stores on the 31st, or will it ship then?[/quote]

It better be in-store on the 31st, because the release/street date is the 28th.
 
Yeah, I better have it on the 28th or I am going to poop in a box and send it to Amazon. Fallout 3 looks like so much fun. I can't wait to blow people up into a bunch of pieces.
 
I can't get out of the Item World. I am addicted. I am now trying to unlock more classes. If I transmigrate my characters, do they retain their learned spells? Like my Ice Mage turns into a Fire Mage, will she be able to use both fire and ice spells?
 
Back at work in San Diego -_-

So sleepy... but feeling good... Decided to post a blog to help myself stay awake...

I didn't even play one minute of Dragon Quest IV during my trip -_-
 
All I played last weekend was VF5 360, SCIV PS3, 3rd Strike, and some demos and betas.

Played the Armored Core For Answer 360 demo. Seemed a lot like AC4, surprise.

My 360 keeps giving me unplayable disc errors, and put a circular scratch on my VF5 disc. :cry: I need to kill that piece of shit soon. :evil:

Resistance 2 beta is pretty good. I dig it so far. Haven't tried coop yet, just some TDM.
 
[quote name='gunm']how u git into resistance 2 beta hank?

i dunno why i ask, 'cause all i play now it seems is wow. -_-[/QUOTE]

A friend shared it with me. He got a code from GS.
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']A friend shared it with me. He got a code from GS.[/quote]

Cool. I'm in for a CE pre-order @ amazon already. If all goes according to plan, I'll have a couple of $10 codes to help cover it.

Nice. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I want it right away. Coop sounds like it'll be pretty cool.

Got my free 512 MB 360 memory card just a second ago. Comes with Worms XBLA, sweet. I haven't played worms since the DC version. I am now "ready for the New Xbox Experience". ;)

MS hates me -- I don't get jack -- I dunno why though, I have an Arcade. :\

I'm on my 3rd Core, 3 different serial numbers. Maybe that had something to do with it? I was on XBL downloading stuff to my 20 GB when they approved me. :)
 
[quote name='Krymner']Who's ready for some more Pie Rats??

This story just keeps getting worse, and this one is 65% cornier than chapter 1. With 35% more crappy jokes!

Gonna go try and beat Xenosaga 2 now.[/QUOTE]

:applause: :applause: :applause:
That's quite the epic in the making.

I've got to study for a mid term that's tomorrow. So there's a really good chance I'm going to play a ton of SR2 tonight :lol:
 
I really need to play more Wipeout. I'm only on the second circuit. Every time I play I get distracted by burnout lol.

Think I might go steal my stepdad's warhawk and play it for a bit.
 
[quote name='Foo228']Is it just me or is downloading then installing ps3 demoes such a hassle?

Hell, wipeout hd is taking forever for me.[/quote]

That is because PS3 is so powerful it can't download and install a demo. But the underpowered 360 eats a D and can download a demo and just play it. The 360 is such a hassle.
 
Grabbing that crazy Fable 2 stuff tomorrow!
The collectors edition is crappy now right? Because the 50% off coupon doesn't work with the LE, so it doesn't really matter anyway. But they took lots of stuff out right?

They took out the shit that wasn't really needed if you ask me....
 
Thanks Chibi.

Lets see, games I'm getting for sure this year:
-Fable II
-LBP
-DC vs. Mortal Kombat
-Scene It? 2
-Singstar vol. 2

I'm sure I'll get a bunch of other ones as well, but those are 100%.
Also, I got Lego Batman in the mail today :)
Back to NHL 09!
 
Okay. So I have no idea what I'm doing for my midterm tomorrow. So I'm just going to wing it. I'm pretty good with early colonial era history any way.

Now I'm gonna play some SR2.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']sorry, I can't take anyone too seriously who likes Fable II more than they should.

better than fallout 3? what>?[/QUOTE]

What on earth is that supposed to mean? Liking a game more than I should?

More brilliance from CAG's ONLY game designer / graphic artist. :cool:
[quote name='The Crotch']Moxino.[/QUOTE]

Ugh.
 
Yes, yes you should. The tripple was actually the lead platform for Mirror's Edge.

Is fallout 3 gonna suck on dat tripple?

Is Haze worth 10 bucks?
 
I don't recommend buying Dead Space. It's fuggin short. Just go rent it at blockbuster. They let you keep it for a month there. Like, I'm supposed to return it wednesday, but they have no late fees so I'm keeping it till I finish. Which won' be long.

I bought a rock band hit kit to replace our broken kick pedal. The pedal supposedly sucks, but I won't be using it so I don't give a shit.

My pedal broke on the very last note of The Hand that Feeds on hard, lol.
 
Hmm. So for the rest of the year I'm looking at:

Fallout 3 CE
Banjo Nuts & Bolts/Banjo-Kazooie
Vigilante 8 Arcade (XBLA)
Megaman 9 (PSN)
Soul Calibur 4 (PS3)
Mirror's Edge (PS3)
Left 4 Dead (360)
Chrono Trigger DS
Dead Space? Silent Hill? Something else?
 
My rest of the year: (for sures)
Another few months of gamefly. Really liking the service
Guitar Hero World Tour, selling game for Rock Band 2 (might keep the game and skip something else to get Rock Band, not sure yet)
Valkariya Chronicles (or however it is spelled.)
Gears of War 2
Chrono Trigger
Street Fighter Anniversary (as soon as I recover my paypal after amazon takes it all away with LBP.)

Maybe:
Fable 2 (if I really like it I'll pay the keep it price on gamefly)
Fallout 3 (depends on reviews. I'll probably gamefly it first.)
Mirror's Edge (likely just gameflying and beating)
Price of Persia (see Mirror's Edge)
Left 4 Dead (depends on pc demo, and pc version cause I'm not a homo)
Banjo (see Mirror's Edge)
Arcade stick (christmas)
32-37 inch LCD HDTV (if I can find one for 300 on Black Friday that doesn't suck, might be a b-day/christmas present from father)
 
Forgot to post these pickups last week before I went to Hong Kong...

Cheesy looking, I know... but some Gundam iPhone skin.

And got a pair of these!

God markman you are so damn lucky. I would kill for one of those.

Killing giant ass fuckers in dead space with hardly any ammo-intense. Exactly why I love the game too.

....until you realize you can trap yourself in a corner and then just stasis spam him while you use every bit of ammo you have.
