[quote name='Azumangaman']So I finished the 4th season of Weeds.
Man, I blaze through that show.
Can't wait for the 5th one on Blu Ray!
I wonder if its on TV in Canada somewhere...[/QUOTE] I love that show! It does go by fast due to the 30 minute episodes. :(

You can download season 5 if you do not have Showtime. The second episode of the new season aired the other day. Downloads are up within 24 hours.
 
:lol: movies/TV bore me >_<

I blame the fact that I always have to be doing something with my hands. Even when I watch movies my hands have to be doing something even if it's just using them to eat popcorn.

I have nothing against them, I just can't enjoy them like I use to.

also... wtf? looks like the release date for Flower Sun + Rain got pushed to around the 22nd or 23rd >_<


also, eff yeah!

When im in a gaming rut I usually just pop in one of my TV shows and watch a few seasons...Buffy,Weeds,Charmed,Bones,Breaking Bad,etc

Also, Check out Breaking bad.

That's tempting. I'm pretty sure Season 5 starts on Showcase (I'm assuming its the same thing as Showtime in Canada) in September. That's no fun.
I wouldn't feel guilty about downloading that show either because I know I'll buy it on blu ray the second its released :)

I still need to pick up season 4 and I am getting 5 when it comes out.


Also, Mary Louise Parker is hot. That is all.

I know that, but I'm pretty sure they're starting in September up here. It's not cool. I'd love to watch in since we have Showcase HD too!
Oh well. Knowing me I'll watch the downloads, then watch it when it comes on tv then again when its on Blu Ray.
And she's unbelievably hot.
 
When i was in a gaming rut a while back, i ended up watching Heroes S1-3 on netflix streaming on the 360. Show of the eternity for season 1 and last half of season 3. Seasons 2 and first half of 3 are just ok. Totally worth watching tho, especially season 1, best season of tv ever created as far as im concerned.
 
I just came home with Prototype. Boo work, yay games!

Edit: And finally got all the fucking Gamestop sticker off of it. Now the insert's all fucked up. God, that shit pisses me off.

fuck.

Your gamestop puts the sticker on the insert? I hate gamestops that do that.

[quote name='gunm']Revised 360 SKU w/built-in NATAL coming in 2010?


http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/996/996216p1.html[/QUOTE]

Just fix the hardware problems and I'd gladly buy another one, doesn't need anything extra.
 
[quote name='Mr. Anderson']Zero Mission is fun, and Fusion is even better.

Never tried II, though.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']back in the day of GB, I played a ton of Metroid II. It's just pretty damn impressive they got a GB game to look and play so nice.[/QUOTE]

Never played 2 either , but wish I could've. If nintendo never goes through with the idea of a GB VC and ports it over that way , I would love to see a remake of 2 in the vein of Zero Mission.

[quote name='Persona7']Nice, I need to check out netflix. Do they have a streaming ONLY option?[/QUOTE]

As of now I don't think so , but with a lot of new members coming from the 360 , I think they said they are looking into it.

The first season really was amazing. Season 2 was ok, so was season 3, then it just got painful. Apparently I stopped watching at the wrong time.
I wish we had netflix here. But I have over 100 movies on my shelf that I haven't watched anyway so a gaming rut is really no big deal for me.
Battery covers for my PSP shipped out today. Missing a battery cover is really fucking annoying. I can barely use the dang thing.
BB Canada has Resistance PSP for $14.99 and Patapon 2 for $9.99 so hopefully that will bring me back to gamez.
 
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get to Super Metroid. Can't believe I never bought it but I rented it way back from Blockbuster, got all the way to Ridley before I had to return it.

Guess I'm gonna force someone to download it for me :twisted:
 
Ghostbusters Wii is actually pretty good, for the reduced price. $40 with $20 gift card is fair for it.

Metroid Fusion is awesome, I like it more than even super metroid. I love the new organic samus. I really hope they explore the series timeline past fusion (currently Fusion is chronologically last).

Supposedly The Other M is supposed to take place between Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion, so we'll see I guess.

Fusion was really good. It is kinda a disappointment that no games have taken place after it , but at the same time , where do they go from there? The metroids are gone , the space pirates appear to be gone , a new enemy? Fighting the federation itself?

Interesting , I didn't hear about that. I was always under the impression that Fusion took place very shortly after Super. Didn't think there would be much time for another story in there , but obviously I was wrong (on one or both counts).

8 to 13

360: Adventure thriller, sand box shooter, space marine shooter, space marine shooter, space marine shooter, zombie shooter, space RPG, stealth game.

PS3: Spy thriller, hack and slash action adventure, interactive movie, detective action, user generated platformer, MMOFPS, sports (best baseball games ever created), user generated racer, adventure platformer, epic action adventure with puzzles, car combat, action adventure, adventure RPG.

There are 13 more games I'm interested in that are announced and multi platform that I would get for 360. This is based on all my friends having 360 and none having PS3, playing online is great with them, and achievements.

Still you can't help but notice something fishy going on there.

Since they are so minimal in the story telling of Metroid it allows them to place to really do whatever they want.

I'm still not sure when the Metroid Prime series takes place (between II and Super I think(?)? MP3 reminded me alot like fusion because of well the subtitle "Corruption". Then again I never finished it.

The Prime series takes place between 1 and 2. The metroids are still a central threat in the prime series , and the mission in 2 is to go to the metroids home world and commit genocide on the species.
 
Check out what Sony sent me for helping em out at E3:
E3Prize002.jpg

/dance
 
[quote name='dallow']Shit, I want to help out Sony at E3.[/QUOTE]


How exactly did you get into that role anyways? I would just love to be at E3 for any reason (maybe even as a developer some day).

Does anyone know how to remove an aftermarket cd receiver from a car? I just realized Mine has an AUX output on the back of it, but I can't get to it without, ya know, taking it out of the dash.
 
Yea, I demonstrated my created LBP level at E3 and at the Sony conference (outside the Shrine). I also have contacts with Sony PR, so they will once in a while contact me for help ect. Had no idea they were sending me such a nice package - I really wanted a Silver PSP.

Not sure what to do with Killzone 2 though, I already have it. Anyone want to trade?

[quote name='RelentlessRolento']Little Big Dead Space is all you need to know.[/QUOTE]

I keep getting that...:lol:
 
[quote name='DarkNessBear']

my bad >_<

been a while since i booted the game up. still waiting on online colab mode to be fully functional.

sell killzone 2 since you'll make a decent amount of cash.

Too bad LBP sucks with it's floaty Prototype controls.

/jer

seriously, that's cool, i'm glad i played that level

LBP controls like [Prototype]? On what planet? :whistle2:s
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']The first few Crash games were really done well. I think CTR was probably the last good game that had Crash in it, though.[/QUOTE]

This is pretty much the truth. Wrath of Cortex , Twinsanity and Crash Nitro Kart were all supposed to be "ok" but not as good as previous games in the series (I've played and own Wrath of Cortex , can't comment on the other two personally). Tag Team Racing was terrible , my brothers can personally attest to that.

The new crash games (Crash of the Titans , Mind over Mutant) I've heard were pretty decent though. I've got both on my gamefly list to play eventually.
 
[quote name='FriskyTanuki']Was it not expected that the Crash games wouldn't be as good after Naughty Dog/Sony stopped making them?[/QUOTE]

That was expected , but what I don't think was expected was that the games seem to be getting better (still not better than the Naughty Dog originals , but better than they've been).

Admittedly , Metacritic doesn't completely support this theory , but from reviews I've read and word of mouth seems to be more positive. Highest review score for each of the bandicoot games (no metacritic scores for 1 , 2 or CTR):
Crash 3 : 91
Wrath of Cortex : 70
Nitro Kart : 70
Twinsanity : 66
Tag Team Racing : 68
Crash of the Titans : 73
Mind over Mutant : 73
