Some of you may be old enough to remember this classic episode in racist marketing gone awry:

If you really have to ask, *yes*, it is menthol-flavored malt liquor

and someone remind me to never order something via media mail around Christmas time again.


Also, I have Mario Kart Wii on the way. How can it be so bad? other than just for being the same game they've been releasing since the SNES (which is what I'm expecting.) I'm going to use GCN controllers.
 
Windows 7 beta seems to go up in 30mins so I'll probably be waiting for that.

Got past the 4th full moon on Persona 3 and the story seems to be picking up finally. Really fun game so far.

Still like MK:Wii, though.
 
Picked up a super mint & complete Digital Devil Saga 1 from GS with the coupon. About 22 bucks.

And a 256mb for the 360 so I can store my profile and saves if need be.

What about in terms of unlockables?
 
Plentiful. Haven't played too much of it, but there seem to be significantly more vehicles than in previous versions.

EDIT: Oh, and they dropped character-specific weapons.
 
I played it for like a week then realized the amazon prices were batshit insane and sold mine.

since then I've owned like 3 copies of Mario Kart Wii and never liked it enough to justify keeping it with the insane demand/prices it commands.

It was really fun from what I played, though. The online works really well and is smoother than some 360 games for just pure "pair me up with people and race" stuff. Good for zoning out with.
 
[quote name='Dr Mario Kart']That and all the Mario Karts beyond the first one have been garbage.[/quote]

The irony!

I actually like the NES prototype version with incomplete graphics the best.


looks like my best option is to sell MK Wii and get Double Dash.
 
It's funny that they're using the Grand Theft Auto font.

Subliminal messaging? NAHHHHHH
 
[quote name='gunm']Is this more like what Yakuza DS might've been or simply a Final Fight clone done on DS?[/QUOTE]
Seems to be more of an old school beat-em up.

Weapon dragging like... holding a shell behind you as you pick up another item? You can still do that. I think the racing was better in Double Dash, but some of the courses in MK Wii are great.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Oh man, check out some of the screenshots for Tokyo Beat Down. Best dialogue ever!

I dunno, maybe I'm the only person bothered by it. Just seems too easy of a defensive move to me.

EDIT: I know that it was several pages ago but I would be disappointing my fans if I didn't comment on the "Warrior Within's fighting > Sands of Time's fighting" thing. Even most anti-Warrior Within people agree witht his. And I have no godly idea why. Yes they added a whole bunch of moves but 90% of them are fucking useless. Tapping out some combo is either going to get my ass beat down when I start flailing away at an enemy that's no longer there or kill someone slightly faster than jumping over them and slicing them up (a very safe and pretty much always usable option) would.

Damn Criterion, I have to keep BP forever now that I know that the Jansen 88 hovers.

Although I wonder if it hits 88 mph, will I be transported back to Burnout Take Down?
 
Oh shit, someone found my wallet and mailed it to me, so I have an unexpected 50 dollars in credit to hastings!

I'm torn between grabbing RB2 or getting FO3 while it's 30 and putting the rest on SF4 CE.

I'll probably go RB2 since I already have an illicit FO3 on my computer.
 
I have the 360 games. This one is different enough to try. The graphics are gorgeous.

I'm only getting PS3 exclusives, so it was between this and LBP. I think I made the right choice.

I really like Mario Kart Double and Dash and Mario Kart Wii is pretty good. I liked two player racing on the same kart but the new tracks for the Wii are very tight.

Zew, you might like LBP. It's a fun game to play.

As for Colt .45, you remember the old 45 oz widemouth? It was like funnelling without the funnel. "Once it gets past your lips, it's so good."
 
Went to hastings to grab RB2. They were having a B2G1 on used games, so my stepdad grabbed Shawn White PS3 and I got Fallout 3 Ps3 for the free game. Not bad.
 
[quote name='dallow']Why FO3 for PS3?
Unless you don't care about the DLC.[/QUOTE]

DLC?!

Well, I think it had to all be on the same system, and my stepdad wanted to play it too and there isn't a 360 in the living room.

360/pc are getting all the dlc
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']never had those. are they cheap/shitty beer? this place that closed down recently had steel reserve/high gravity tallboys for 69 cents. :bouncy: RIP "Pronto Groceries & Gas" :cry:


Virtual Boy.[/quote]


Yep. They're both cheap and shitty but awesome. They're like the Commando/Road House of beers.

[quote name='zewone']ahahahah @ Home

:rofl:

Is that a real quote?

im guessing its from tmk...so it probably is :lol::cold:
edit: yep who only tmk would say that
 
[quote name='dallow']Some pretty sweet DLC too.
I'm gonna have to rebuy this game on PC. I never expected to like it so much.[/QUOTE]

I wish this content was coming out on PS3! My PC sucks, and I don't have a 360. I looked at the DLC and it looks sweet:drool::drool::drool:. I know what you mean as far as not expecting to like the game as much. I think it could be in my top 3 of all-time.
 
I do miss Klonoa. :(

Same here, I was blown away and picked it up on a whim.

I had no idea about the DLC, or else I would have waited to see if it was worthwhile before getting it on PS3.

shouldve watched or read about the MS press conference :lol:

I did, but I didn't care about FO3 at the time so I probably ignored it.
I bought the game on a whim because of the praise from everybody. I had a lot of credit from flipping.
 
IMO, if don't care for level building, LBP is most fun w/2 players.

Or if you have the MGS packs. Paint gun = fun (at least in that game).

I deleted Home already. >_< Maybe the Uncharted 2 content will make me DL it again. :p
