[quote name='CaptainJoel']I'm glad to see that someone shares my feelings on WW. I love you, Crotch.[/QUOTE]

Shares your feelings on Warrior Within? Are you daft? Most of the video game world loathes that game.

I really didn't think it was half as bad as most people bitched about it. Then again, I played it years after it came out and used a guide to walk me through most of the game. I can understand the dislike but not the unbridled hatred. Then again, I never thought Sands of Time was the masterpiece everyone else seems to think it is.
 
It was baaaaaaad.

Like, they realized that I was probably getting bored of fighting the same fucking boss five times in a row, so they decided to mix shit up by giving him a new attack. Okay, alright.

His new attack, though? Throw exploding dogs at the guy.

No, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within. That is not how you make me accept the fact that you've thrown the same fucking boss at me five times in a row.

No.

Bad dog.
 
I remember people bitching about exploding dogs, but I don't think I had an issue.
It just reminded me of the whole RE3 Nemesis stalking you thing, I think... at least if that same boss with the exploding dogs was the Dahaka or whatever it was called.

Nah, not the Dahaka. Hell, you didn't even fight that thing unless you found every weapon (I didn't).

I meant the big juggernaut-y guy that you were always jumping on the back of and holy fuck I just killed you an hour ago why are you here?

I just looked it up. I always figured it was like a mini-boss or something... he didn't come off to me as a boss. A lot of the design wasn't great, but I still don't think it was worthy of the hate people give it.
 
Admittedly, going back to Sands of Time might be hard for me now. The only complaints I remember were the mapping of "kill" and "useless stab that wastes my sand" to the same key and how Farah was the complete opposite of helpful in a fight. Just comically anti-useful, that girl.

See, I thought Sands of Time was okay, but it seemed short, the combat was terribly designed (IMO, I think it was cheesy difficult) and the puzzles were all fairly obvious and easy to me... so I was like "yeah, that was good enough to play the sequel" and when the sequel was different and tried to make the combat better, I was like "sure, this is interesting". It had problems, but made me interested in the third game, which I never actually played. Everyone else seemed to mistake Sands of Time for Ocarina of Time and placed it up on the "all-time classic" pedestal. :lol:

Until now I've only met people that love the game. I really didn't like it. I loved SoT.

[quote name='whoknows']I like sports. My favorite team is the local one and I like it when they get the points.[/QUOTE]

Is it Tebow time?
 
[quote name='icebeast']Is it Tebow time?[/QUOTE]

No.

It's TEBOWIE time.

Not sure why the dude's footage is mirrored, but the audio is fine and the visual still works.

In response to Jello44 below VVVVV:
I don't think it there will be Tebow time tonight -- I think there's a high probability that this is going to be the most unwatchable playoff/superbowl game since Tampa Bay manhandled the Raiders in the Superbowl almost 9 years ago.

Really getting fed up with this hacked Xbox Live account. It's been 2 1/2 months and customer support can't give me any kind of update on how much longer it will be.

I was tempted to just start a new one since my gold sub runs out in a month or two anyway and I have a 12 month code ready to be used. But I thought better of that as I'll want to be on my current account when Mass Effect 3 comes out so I can import my existing character I played through the first two games with.

So guess I just have to wait it out and keep playing Wii games in the meantime.

That sounds likes some bullshit. You would think there would be some sort of recourse for it.

We'll they have been giving free months, and people who've got their accounts back said they got a couple more free months at that time, all their spent points back and sometimes a couple hundred more etc.

It's just a matter of it taking so damn long to get accounts back when they get migrated to another country that sucks. They need to figure out someway to do that faster. Apparently the delay is two fold. First, there's apparently international law issues with getting the account back. Second, they apparently have no way to just transfer the account back, but have to rebuild it line-by-line of code.

Just a bunch of BS. If they were going to allow accounts to easily be migrated from the US to other countries, they needed to have an easy way to migrate them back in place. Be it for people who get hacked and have their accounts migrated, or people that move to another country, and then move back to the US etc.

Very annoying. If it wasn't for wanting to play ME3 with my existing characters I'd honestly probably just sell the 360 and get a PS3 as there's just no excuse for such poor customer service.

That really is some bullshit. If I were you, I'd write up something and email it to every major game blog and get your voice it. This is, by far, the worst hacking case I've heard of yet.
 
That is great news. As a democrat who is mildly disillusioned with the Obama Administration this is a step in the right direction.

I had an extended political discussion with a couple of friends last night over some Smash. It was good times.

Yes, you should do this. Stir up a shitstorm until they make things right.
[quote name='ihadFG']Well this is certainly a good thing for the SOPA issue:

Ron Paul?
 
Hank's on that real talk.
I'd like to see Ron Paul as president, honestly. Just for the lols. It could be fun. And if it doesn't work, at least people will realize, "WELL fuck NO REGULATION IS HORRRRIBLE"
I mean, at least I'd be able to smoke weed :D
 
[quote name='hankmecrankme']lol Old white people.[/QUOTE]

Maaaan, I know the GGT members are all liberal, but geez. Get into the independent zone and look at it from that perspective!

That you would; dude also openly opposes SOPA.

Also what's stopping you from smoking weed now? Hit up Bribri and dive into his stash.

Dammit, I wasn't saying to look at the independent candidates, but look at the liberal's and conservative's candidates through the eyes of an independent.

It's my understanding that a Ron Paul victory would have no effect on the legality of what he smokes, as that sort of thing would be a decision for the individual states, not something that can be mandated at a federal level. Abortion, gay marriage, all that shit: allowed or banned or limited or whatever the fuck at the state level. Am I incorrect?

I do, because I see myself on neither side. To me, it's more about "Who's gonna fuck us over less?" when it comes to electing everyone in government.
