I don't even know you anymore.

I forgot the Slim had an HDMI control option which links with my Sony TV.
TV shows "Playstation 3" in the menu, kinda cool.
And when I turned off the TV, it automatically shut down my PS3. I think I can even turn it on from the TV menu alone.
Neat-o.
 
So i got Halo ODST free today in the mail for saying I learned in schooled... so do I sell it or keep it?

Tempted to try Reach just to see if it finally makes me like Halo.

Well, my cousin really insists I play Halo Reach (ie. he's a regular on the Halo MLG comps) so I may take him up on it now... I might play then give it to GS for free credit.

You're breaking my heart.

I have Peter Krause now! Peter fucking Krause!

Who?

[quote name='gunm']Just keep it and try Reach ReRo. You can sell it off later.[/QUOTE]

K... though I'm knee deep in games right now with 3D Dot, Skate 3, Red Dead nxt week, Afrika from gamefly as well as some other stuff I got for free >_
 
Done with 1L. I'll be lucky if I'm still in. Never worked harder on anything, but can't shake the feeling that I didn't work hard enough. Feels bad man! But whatever, whiskey.

Got some blissful days coming up before summer school starts and before I get my grades back. Time to play some vidya and live unhealthily.

[quote name='ihadFG']If you don't like Halo at all, you will probably not like Reach. If anything, you should give ODST a try, because I liked it much better than any of the other Halo games.

And as for Peter Krause, go watch Six Feet Under. It's a great show.[/QUOTE]


I know Halo is good and reputable, I just can't get into any of the games so far, but I always give them a shot.
 
I think I'll be buying RDR next week since I'm finally fixing my PS3.


And I probably am getting
Prince of Persia as well
I think it looks good.
 
[quote name='CaptainJoel']Bear, how'd you get into E3? Are you going to chat up Media Molecule when you go?[/QUOTE]
I got a pass from Sony for helping in the past. We'll see how it goes. And I already talked to MM last E3, so don't need to anymore. But, if I can I'll try.

Seriously? What'd you help them with? Is it like a full press badge or can you only go certain places?
 
Bulletstorm kind of reminds me of Borderlands and Zeno Clash. I dunno if I like the art style or the silly rag doll, but I should probably keep an open mind.
 
I'm gonna rent Alan Wake. With job loss incoming $60 credit can be better saved for other things.

I am looking forward to Red Dead and Split Second next week though.
 
I'm definitely buying Alan Wake, been waiting for awhile and it looks amazing. I got a free ODST from that contest, and already turned it around for 63. I also have a gift card for about 50 some, so Read Dead and Alan wake will technically be free for me. Not sold on any other game this month.
 
Well, that's not true, I'd get 3D Heroes probably, but sold the PS3, and would get Galaxy 2, but haven't even beat the first one yet. :p
 
Yeah I have Galaxy 2 paid for too, but just with my situation I think I could rent it and finish in a few days since I'll probably be on unemployment next month :(

Looking for work, but it's not plentiful. At least there's a chance of getting assistance since it's related to business failure, not firing or anything. And I don't have any major bills or obligations.
 
For sure man, AW is reported to be 10 hours more or less, so it's definitely a rental if on a budget. If you keep an eye on the CAG tradelists, you'll see it for 40 or so within a month.
I hate my current job, but it has it's perks and I have a job, which can be rare in Michigan, so I try not to bitch about it.
Good to hear you have some options though, and I'm sure if you try hard enough, you'll find something.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Wait what?

3D dot heroes is a PS3 game?[/QUOTE]
Yes. lol
Done with the whole doll thing I see? :lol:

I've seriously thought it was a PSP game this whole time.

Yes.
 
Finally tried the demo for Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. It fuckin' stinks. It did make me wanna go back to playing Phantasy Star though, so it wasn't a total waste of time.

Had lots of fun with the Naruto PSP demo. Makes me hyped for Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.

Play MH3 with the classic controller pro instead. I sold Unite yesterday because I realized that I don't want to fuck with those terrible controls anymore now that I have MH3.
 
In a lot of ways, I think MH3's controls were actually made with the PSP in mind. But the second analog stick makes all the difference in the world in a game like this since there is no lock-on.
 
[quote name='KingBroly']I stopped going to Kotaku. Way too much nonsense to classify as news.[/QUOTE]

Yea, I usually get my news from Joystiq. They prefer (generally) quality over quantity. Which most people don't... I have 900+ Unread Kotaku posts and ~50 Joystiq ones.

That was the deal breaker for me. Phantasy Star Portable absolutely spoiled me with the things they did right in terms of combat.
 
Lock on in Monster Hunter would be suicidal though. Especially in some of the later quests (or the event one they just did). You need to know what is going on at all times or you will die.
 
I honstly don't mind the no second stick control but let's not get into that. Keep in mind the original Monster Hunter used left stick for movement and right stick for attack. It worked but it's not as good as the face buttons.

Plus I'm too use to hitting the L button anyway.

What kind of action-rpg worth its weight doesn't have some sort of lock-on?

[quote name='seanr1221']Take this to the bank: MS will announce a slim arcade model for 199.99, Natal for 99.99 and a combo pack for 249.99.[/QUOTE]
Sounds like it could be true. Hypothetically, if it is true, I might pick it up. I want to see the look and features of the slim and make sure it's a reliable system and has a big enough hard drive. No sense giving up an elite for a watered down system, so I guess we'll see.
