Ok, done with that damn Power Point...

Anyway, kind of disappointed everyone went for a DW game. Was hoping to see some Kessens or even RotKs in there. I'm going to go with refusedchaos. He did play it to the judge with the mentioning of the newtype slap, and just general Gundam nerdiness. I'll PM you the code sometime tomorrow. I need sleep...
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Ok, I got two extra Banjo codes from work. Since TFN was the one that made me look for them in the first place, he gets one. As for the other one, I think I'll have some fun with it XD

If you want the other Banjo code you simply have to to post in the GGT about your favorite Koei game. You have to be sincere, so sarcasm will get you nowhere. Also you have to be an active member of the GGT. No lurkers. I'll choose the best one.[/QUOTE]

Nobunaga's Ambition for the SNES, without a doubt.
 
Didn't even get around to playing Nuts and Bolts this weekend, how are people liking it ?

Spent most of my weekend playing Sega Rally, played some more of the original Banjo Kazooie as well, enjoying it so far.
 
Ben - I watched The First Spaceship on Venus, The Ring of Terror, Werewolf, and Shorts Volume 2 over the weekend. Good stuff. Well except for The First Spaceship on Venus. That was pretty tough to get through even with the MST3k treatment. :lol:
 
netflix on 360 is so awesome.
I watched mad max because I heard it mentioned as a inspiration for fallout.
 
[quote name='depascal22']Hey Rei, how is Time Hollow?[/quote]
I just finished that up myself. The game was pretty decent. But I'd say wait for for a price drop before picking it up. The game is pretty short and there isn't much of a reason to replay it(Unless you count the Alternate ending).

Ring of Terror, that was so awesome. "No one will be admitted to the theatre during the thrilling walking scene". There's an awesome line I can't remember with Joel doing the voice of a cat. The old peoples college short and Franks song at the end are great to. I've heard First Spaceship is the weakest of that set. Might watch that this weekend, get it out of the way,

I didn't watch any MST3k this weekend cos I went to see the new bond film last night. I though it was ok but probably not as good as Casino Royale.

Sega Genesis 3

Crap. I just missed it. And I went with an oldschool non DW type game!
 
Bought Fallout 3, Beautiful Katamari, TC: New Blood, R-Type Command, and AC: City Folk.
.......
And I've still yet to play LO and Mass Effect.



Also, who hasn't seen Mad Max?
 
I'm your number 1 friend on Myspace TFN.
Use the 3/4 year old picture on there. ;)

Hmm, I think I'll do that mak. But the customization isn't as full featured as the Miis.

I deleted my Myspace when I got phished, dallop. This was before I found out all you had to do to prevent that weird advertising shit to your friends was change your password. :[

Its cool. I'm just gonna make a Moz avatar. :]

Japanese PSN has that amazing Yakuza 3 TGS trailer in high def... go get it nao![/QUOTE]

Awesome

I tried watching it once, but got bored. The Road Warrior is so much better.

Just set up my town in AC:CF. The game is good so far, but there's one minor thing that startled me:
when you donate fish to the museum, Blathers doesn't talk about how it can be prepared, how delicious it is, etc. Does he not like fish anymore?

I haven't gotten the net yet, since it wasn't at Nook's today, but I hope Blathers still hates bugs :razz:
 
So The Orange Box is available for like 17.99 used. I'm very tempted to use the cellphone coupon and an edge card to get 30% off. But I've already had TOB on 360, so I'm not sure if I can justify purchasing it again- on PS3. Granted, it'll drop down to like $12 and change, but I'm wondering if it's really going to feel "worth it". What do you guys think?
 
[quote name='manthing']Why do you want the non-Valve PS3 version?[/QUOTE]

Because my laptop is incapable of running games and my 360 is no longer trusted as a gaming system. I'm just looking for cheap fps fun.
 
[quote name='manthing']Even when NXE launches Wednesday?[/QUOTE]

I don't know what that means :whistle2:k

And my system is red ringed. I need to call it in... because it's always wicked fun.
 
[quote name='Ahadi']What do you guys think?[/quote]

There's a handful of PS3-owners on CAG that play TF2 from time-to-time. Not sure if that helps or not, but I thought I'd mention it.
 
I've played through most of TOB on PS3.
It's fine.

Even played TF2, there were a good amount of people playing but it wasn't my kind of game.

[/QUOTE]I'm sure he means the innards of the 360.

Oh, I see.


And the NXE will allow you to install and play games from the 360 HDD

I sincerely doubt that, but I'll find out in two days. Hopefully I won't be wrong. :pray:

Pretty sure that's the case with the face options. Some comparison I read on a game site.

Obviously the body and clothes stuff is better.

At least the NXE faces kind of look like.. uh... you know... faces?
 
I never understood why Nintendo made the nose of the Miis a bit darker than everything else. Maybe DMK can give us some kind of explanation.

Well yeah, but it won't be as good for making 'out there' characters.

Everyone looks mostly the same right now.

Time for your patented Hitler...Charlie Chaplin avatar Dallow ?
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']I never understood why Nintendo made the nose of the Miis a bit darker than everything else. Maybe DMK can give us some kind of explanation.[/quote]It's the same cartoon black outline as everything else.

See the pic above of the glorious Wii Smiths.

Look inside the lines. The skin tone for the nose is a shade or two darker than the rest of the skin.

The same shading that goes around the head too.
It's just shading. "fake lighting/shadows" to give the illusion of roundness and shape to a 2D bitmapped face.
 
I know what shading is, and thats not shading on the nose. It wouldn't even make sense. :/

Oh well, not that big of a deal... it just looks really weird.
 
I don't know man, I'm looking at that pic and it looks like nose shading to me.

They should have just given everyone a red nose.
 
I love waking up at 4 PM. Getting like 5 hours of sleep every day. Burning the candle at both ends will probably catch up to me someday, but not today. ;)

Let's see, Gears 2 later? Yeah, probably, that's my routine now. More multiplayer madness. :)

I'm sure it will involve several line graphs.

yay gears 2 later! hope i make it in
 
I didn't jump on TOB today. But I really don't care about the fact that it'll be on the PS3. I'm probably going to order by the end of the week.

Now I'm off to watch King Arthur. Best homework assignment ever.
