Optional joinable NPC who can help you get documents for Abraham Washington. Has a special SMG weapon. I met her in the National Archives looking for the Declaration of Independence.

Oh I know her. I never bother with the other side quest to get her SMG from her... maybe I'll try that later.

It's all right, when it's all white!

Man, I wanna play some more Fallout 3 now. :(
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']ninja dog you read queen and country? I read one issue probably 5 or 6 years ago and didn't like it but can see how someone might like it.[/QUOTE]


I LOVE Queen and Country. I like spy/espionage stuff a lot. I also like how each chapter is drawn by a new person. The first book only had one memorable artist towards the end, while most of the beginning was a bit "cartoony" for my tastes. But vol.2 reverses that, with only one "cartoony" style chapter.


also, if anyone wants an XBL 12+1 card for $35, pm me.

[quote name='MarkMan']AWESOME!

*high five*


another *high five* for the review! I've already got two TE sticks reserved, but I'll have to pick up a pad for when I don't want 10 pounds of plastic on my lap.
 
why is my 222mb SSHD download taking like 3 hours?! jeezus psn. smh.

On the plus side, my 108mb Pixeljunk Eden download only took an hour and a half and its a fun game. Valkyria Chronicles is beautiful and kinda fun.

I think PSN is just bogged down tonight. The firmware update took my way longer than it usually does.

Note to self: still need to buy my full copy of PJE and SSHD.
 
Hey guys. I moved back in to my dorm room today, so I'm hoping I can put more time in to the thread again.

I'm still chipping away at Dragon Quest IV. I'm thinking its a 20 hour or so game, and I'm at like 12 or 13 hours in and I started the final chapter last night.

Fallout 3 is on my back burner at the moment. Hopefully I can put more time in to now that I've got a ton of free time.

And get this! I was in Radio Shack today picking up a wireless router for my room, when I decided to check out their video games. They had SIX-AXIS controllers, all of them that they had out, so like 5 or so, marked at $9.99. I had the clerk ring one up for me to see if it would really be $9.99(I can dream :lol:). They were marked wrong of course... the clerk said he would push the sale through for me, but kept mentioning how someone was going to get in trouble for that. So I declined on him pushing the sale through. It could have been awesome stocking up on them bad boys :cool:
 
[quote name='zewone']The Sixaxis are clearanced out at Radio Shack.

Should be $19.99.[/QUOTE]

:shock:

That's still a decent deal. Maybe I'll find a print out and pick up one or two. But that's a lesser want at the moment. But I mean, for $10, I'd have bought three on the spot.

not a bad way to waste ur time mamesj

forgot to say that my art show on saturday wen hella good! since that's over, I have a few minor projects to do and then shooting begins on the FGT movie. costumes and lighting will be the biggest pain initially... I hate shooting but I love post production :)

also, I still gotta post a private link to my video animation... I'll do that tomorrow.
 
Any deals on VC that I may have missed out on? I'm planning on leaving the house tomorrow and finding out what options I have in terms of retailers.
 
I popped in MGS4...I can't believe how averse I am to this game. I can play 3 over and over, I can enjoy the hell out of 1 and 2. but for some reason, 4 makes me sick.

...

so...

anyone wanna copy of MGS4 for their LBP?

$38.50 used at GS with coupon and Edge card up until the 22nd.
 
Irony:

Seeing a Max Payne DVD/Blu-Ray ad in Saint's Row 2.

(Max Payne is based off the game made by Rockstar, makers of Grand Theft Auto).
 
[quote name='ninja dog']so i was gonna play all kinds of stuff today and I ended up playing PJ Eden for like 3 hours. JEEZ.[/QUOTE]
Wow, that's 2 hours and 50 minutes more of the game than I played before I realized how much I didn't like it.
 
[quote name='zewone']$38.50 used at GS with coupon and Edge card up until the 22nd.[/quote]
Nice. I think my Edge Card is expired though. Still, if it's less than full price, I can't complain.

[quote name='Mr. Beef']Thanks Zew.

So I finally popped in DBZ Burst Limit earlier today, and after about 20 minutes, I took it right back out. Such garbage.[/QUOTE]
Funny story about that game. I was playing the story mode, and at one point you switch from playing as one of the good guys to a bad guy. I didn't know the switch happened, so the whole fight I thought I was playing as the AI character and I still won the match. Such a terrible game.

I don't know how people can think that Burst Limit is even remotely better than the Tenkaichi series. Burst Limit doesn't even go past the Cell Saga, which there is no excuse for after 6 PS2 DBZ games, 5 of which (I think it's 5, I forgot if Budokai 1 did) go to the end of the series.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I feel like DBZ went to shit after the Cell Saga. And I'm die hard for DBZ.

I enjoyed the Burst Limit demo. Definitely something I'll pick up down the road once it's super cheap.

And for fuck's sake, the "main" hero in DQIV sucks so much. I cannot even begin to count the number of times I've died trying to reach level 7. Goddamnit.

edit: I'm pretty sure I hate Tim and Eric.

Yeah, after you understand the controls for Tenkaichi, it was actually pretty good for a DBZ game.
 
It wasn't that I liked or disliked the Buu Saga, it's just that there's no excuse for not putting the characters from that whole saga in the game.

I'll probably trade it in to help towards VC, but if for some reason I don't see any used copies of it in the next few days, perhaps I'll trade it to you, Ahadi.
 
Didn't Super DBZ have former Street Fighter crew working on it? There was some buzz that it was a good fighting game around its release, but I never got around to playing it.

Honestly the only good part of DBZ was the Android/Cell saga. Everything else was boring as fuck.

Keep me posted on that ;)

Who from the Buu saga do you feel like you're missing out on? I mean, the Buu transformations weren't that fun to use. I suppose the fusion characters are a big miss, but that's one of the things that sort of ruined the show. In their defense though, and in Budokai 2's defense, the fusion "rock, paper scissor" game was definitely a neat way to work in the fusion aspect.

I never tried Super DBZ, nor did I spend as much time with Budokai 3 that I'd have liked to. But Tenkaichi 2 on Wii definitely consumed my life for some time.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']Honestly the only good part of DBZ was the Android/Cell saga. Everything else was boring as fuck.[/QUOTE]

Quoting for emphasis.

And double posting(maybe).

Frieza was a good saga, just too long. But Android/Cell was great because it was a "fairly" level playing field in terms of everyone's power level being some what equal and every character being able to be fairly useful in a fight.

And DQIV's art is done by Toriyama(right?), so it ties in to a previous post, so this isn't 100% off topic. Sort of.
 
The only thing I liked about Super DBZ was that it used the manga art style for the graphics. I think most people didn't think the game was good. My credentials? I played it at Best Buy once for about 15 minutes...

He was so great in Tenkaichi 2 and 3, although he wasn't too cool in the series.

Also, Great Saiyaman. :cool:

I'll agree with the Saiyaman, simply because he's a damn good novelty character, in the show and in the game. Kid Buu however, eh... it's probably just my bias towards that saga that's keeping me from really liking him.

Anyone pumped for Dawn of War II to come out?
