[quote name='benjamouth']Hey Mak :wave:

It's a swedish fantasy film about this chick getting kidnapped by a witch and these two dudes going to rescue her. They have to build a thing called a Sampo for the witch. The highlights of the episode is the short "Here comes the circus" and one of the host bits which is Gypsy's one woman show "Gypsy Rose Me", they were both classic. I though it was a very decent ep, good riffing on the movie.

Yeah the boxed set is very nice, the only slight problem I have with it is the box the DVD's are in is difficult to get out of the tin. The tin looks great on my shelf though and the crow figure is nice.

Hmm, I don't remember that one at all. That must be early Joel era. The only Swedish movie I can remember is that one with the Santa Clause type guy.

And yes, I agree about the tightness. I held the tin upside down and I was hitting the bottom of it trying to get the slipcases to come out cause my fingers are too big to grasp them. I probably looked like a bear trying to get honey out of a beehive. :lol:

And to keep us on track again .. I'm about to start up Fallout 3.

Yeah you're right, I think it's a Season 3 ep, worth seeing if you ever get the chance.

I had a smile at your Bear/Honey analogy, I was exactly the same, I may take out the DVD's and store them so I don't ruin the box pulling it in and out of the Tin.

Fallout 3 is amazing, there's so much to do in that game. It's so good I did an escort mission the other day and it wasn't annoying at all.

Hi Gwen :wave:. Where the hell have you been? And if it's Nariko, can I haz one?
[/QUOTE]

GS codes are the ones for Kratos/Minotaur/Medusa and GoW themed stickers.

RR's images broke, what game was it?

And bots in G2? Horde mode or plain old deathmatch?
 
Maybe I'll go back to Fallout 3...

I liked it, but then other things came out, and I haven't got back to it...

And with L4D coming soon, I don't see going back to it for awhile...

Oh well, it gives me something for the post-holiday drought..
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']Oh I know. Something about the drab browns and greys of next-gen shooters being a power limitation. Surely you wouldnt have so many different companies colluding to make everything look the same. Its largely above my pay grade though.

[quote name='ninja dog']
Hasn't been a problem for a while now...you should keep on top of the things you hate so your opinions aren't outdated. also Super Paper Mario was shit.[/quote]The game wasn't that bad, but it wasn't amazing like I hoped. :cry:

[quote name='Maklershed']Is that really in a game?
[/quote]Yeah... Super Paper Mario on the Gamecube. :rofl:

It was probably my biggest letdown ever. The earliest vid of it made it look like it would be an awesome 2D/3D platformer. Turned out to be another chatty mario rpg. :\
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']played vigalante 8 demo... not as fun as when I played it on PS1... wai?[/quote]Yeah, why was it so bad?
I loved the original 2 games, but it didn't feel right.

Glad I didn't buy it, as I read it's more a lite version of the game since a lot of the original features are gone (some effects, vehicles, arenas).

I just want a new Twisted Metal already.
I played the PSP one online a lot.
 
yeah I played the PSP twisted metal online on launch day... blew my mind when I realized I was playing a 3D game online on a portable. I still think it's crazy but not as much anymore.

Thats okay though... can't please 'em all, I guess. :)

I wonder if we ever had a match? ;)

[quote name='manthing']Hi dallow

:wave:
Thanks for sending that!
Only played a little bit so far, as I was having controller/receiver issues.[/quote]
No problem. :)
 
Oh damn, I thought the Wii Speak thing came with all copies of Animal Crossing.

I didn't realize it would be a 69.99 bundle..........fjkjfk
 
So I made like $350 in an afternoon yesterday. Thanks for paying my rent for december, Hollywood video!
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']
Yeah... Super Paper Mario on the Gamecube. :rofl:[/quote]

I cannot tell if you are being serious or not. Stupid Internet. Allow me to see your emotions!
 
Finished Gears 1 last night finally.

There's a few GS's here with Gears 2 used which after everything would cost $38.50.
Is the map pack worth an extra $20?
 
I'm hoping to get a some gears 2 in tonight, but it's not looking good. Have a lot of work to wrap up, and then have to pack and get up super early tomorrow to head out for a conference---which means no Gears until Saturday night at the earliest. :(

50% more maps and they are a lot better than maps on the disc.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Dallow, just get it new with HWV/MG credit.[/quote]
Trying to get the most bang for the buck with my credit.
 
[quote name='dallow']Trying to get the most bang for the buck with my credit.[/QUOTE]

True, but if you're considering online multiplayer at all, you should get a new one and get the map pack. You could always do that, trade it, then pick it up used -- not sure if that'd end up being closer to $40 or the $60 out of pocket it would cost you to keep the new copy though.

Buy new, trade in, buy used would only save me a dollar.
I don't know, we'll see.

[quote name='tiredfornow']...Which is why you should buy it new.[/quote]That doesn't make sense. :(
 
I wonder if GS will admit that stuff like the maps is missing from the used copies

"We have that instock used and it's $5 cheaper....although half the MP maps aren't there"
"$5 cheaper you say that sounds goo........wait a minute !!!"
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']viking, you snubbed my invite last night. :([/QUOTE]

I'm sorry. Was I playing or sitting at the menu? I usually look on the internet if I'm dead, which is often. So I probably didn't see it.

If I was sitting at the menu, I was eating a sammich and not looking at the TV.

Protip: Spam me if you want me. :)
 
Finished Gears 2 on hardcore just now. Overall amazing game. Then I joined a game with some local friends. Not sure if the hosts internet just sucks or what not but it lagged hard. Hopefully play online after class tonight.
 
[quote name='refusedchaos']anyone wanna do another CAG room tonight for gears? the last few we had this weekend were awesome[/QUOTE]

I'd be up for it later, most def.
 
Apparently this game has a history of amazing box art:

Even the title screen is off. Looks like a beat em up (but it's like a weird bomb defusing game):

still haven't played it. Curse SD vs Raw 09 for being too addicting! And by the time I ween myself off of that, there's COD5, Mirror's Edge, Left 4 Dead and Animal Crossing.

*puts Gears on the backburner*
 
Sent out several live friend invites , in case it is not obvious who you might have received one from.:)

Sadly I don't think I'll be able to get on and play tonight. Got some things to do and have to be in at work tomorrow at 6am. Should be able to play some tomorrow night though.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']nariko content or kratos content?[/quote]
[quote name='Maklershed']Hi Gwen :wave:. Where the hell have you been? And if it's Nariko, can I haz one? [/quote]

[quote name='corrosivefrost']GS codes are the ones for Kratos/Minotaur/Medusa and GoW themed stickers.[/quote];) And I still have three left. I'm signing off and wont be back for a few days, so if anyone wants one, PM me.

Been busy with the Center. And life.

[quote name='benjamouth']It's a swedish fantasy film about this chick getting kidnapped by a witch and these two dudes going to rescue her.

There's an item called the Shard of Sampo, I forget the description of it in the game, but it actually ties in to the Sampo nonsense in Day the Earth Froze. When I get back, I have to hit a library and see if there's some actual nordic sampo legends. I can't believe a localizer at bandai namco would randomly through in something like that.

Started FFIV on the DS. Did they not re-record or even remix ANY of the music?
