Actually my first final is tomorrow, they last through next saturday :( but I'd have to try pretty hard to fail them, so I'm back to posting.

where to begin...my gaming exploits have been numerous and belligerent in the past month.

and whoa, Roufuss is back! I thought your game collection finally fell and crushed you or something ;)


[quote name='tiredfornow']Finally we can do the feedback thing, possum! :cool:[/QUOTE]

Gotcha back man. Oh, I found Mushihime-sama, which I thought was in the pile. I can send it along if you haven't already detnerrot it.
 
Inufaye, you're an ass for posting that shit. For someone who always gives me a hard time about disliking what others like, it's awfully hypocritical to throw a temper tantrum about GTA and post a spoiler because you've got a chip on your shoulder and feel you need to be different.

We took GTA4 and Boom Blox over to my friend's house and had a great time. Best story to come out of it was picking up Brucie in a helicopter to go to the strip club, then getting a lap dance, then dropping a live grenade in the champagne room. (While uttering, "Keep the change, you filthy animal")

Obviously the bouncers didn't like that so much, so I had to make a quick getaway for the chopper parked out front while leaving a grenade trail for my pursuers. One of the grenades went off too close to the chopper as I was taking off, so it flipped, then lost it's tail rotor (We had no idea this could happen), so I'm spinning out of control as I'm ascending, and eventually just blow up on the side of a high rise down the street. Everyone was lol as the situation just got more and more out of control.

I wish you could drop grenades out of the helicopters like you can with cars. That would make for a good time.
 
Rampages are so much harder in IV. I last like 10 seconds. maybe it's cause i'm not using cheats.
The game is awesome though. It'll definitely be the first GTA I finish.

I have to say the PS3 version is fucking bullshit, unfortunately. It works on my system, but freezes when I go to DL the update, so I can't try out online. Also, the upscaled lower rez looks kinda blurry.

Can't wait for that PC version.

The game also needs claymores, silencers, and the ability to grab people MGS/SC style. I don't want to be Rambo every time I want to kill people.
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']If thats not too much trouble, man. I can PP you a few bucks if you'd like, but these Jap shooters are :drool:.

So much fun.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it's no problem. Just PM your address again, I'll have it out on monday.
 
So, does Persona 3 have anything that might be worth keeping it for now that I have FES? I'm guessing no.

Today I'm playing fighters, some MGO, and some more fighters.
 
Used that 25% DS games coupon, combined with Edge, to grab Final Fantasy 3 for $11.69. Had my eye on it for awhile, and the price was right.

I'm going to wait on FES until Gamestop gets some used ones in... Best Buy and K-Mart both have the game in the ad's for next week, so it won't be hard to find for awhile... I'm hoping someone who gets it hates it and trades it in. I'll definitely snatch it for $22.50.
 
I love how people have the Caramelldansen avatars now. When I had made a GGT all about it a couple months ago lol.

And no, regular Persona 3 has nothing that FES doesn't.
 
well, i'm out all night for the annual art walk in miami that happens every second saturday of each month. it's an excuse for most people to just party and get drunk, but at least I go mostly for the art. it;s also nice to see friends who have artwork in galleries.

supposedly I start my internship next week or so... and spanish classes ... I really don't look forward to spanish >_
 
I should learn Spanish. I took 3 years of it in high school, which was a waste because the teacher sucked. The first year was good, the second not so much, and the third was a waste.

My 360 was being a little bitch and refusing to read any games, I even tried a DVD, and it still wouldn't read. Then I put it on its side and tried a game and it worked. Now it's fine. I had PS1 flashbacks for a second, because I had to put mine on its side and finally upside down before it finally quit reading anything.

Haha, I took two years and I feel the same way. First year was chill, had an awesome teacher who retired after that year, then next year I got a jackass for a teacher who was also the Water Polo coach, and it seemed he knew where his priorities were (hint: Not teaching Spanish class)
 
Took 3 years of Spanish in HS, 4 semesters in college for a requirement (lots of time in between HS and college for me, so I didn't go straight to the 4th level.) I can still hardly speak it and at this point, I'd probably have a hard time writing it. It goes away really fast when you don't use it.


I almost bid on all of these (as much as it would take to win.)

Would've been a bit too much money on shit that's just cool to have, look at, and not be able to use :lol: Decided to save the money for some 1st print books instead.
 
I played the Haze demo today. It was ok. Then I played Bourne. Awesomeness.

I'm so tempted to grab Bourne at release, but $60 is a lot. If I can find a way to get it cheaper I'll get it for sure.

This is exactly what me and my friend thought. $60 is a bit too much, but $40 or less and I'd probably bite. My favorite part is running through the second part and using guns as little as possible, then using the takedowns on dudes so their buddies shoot them in the back. And booting fuckers out of the back of the airplane. Takedowns are awesome.
 
Apossum, damn that stuff looks SEXY, I'd love to have those in my collection. MSX/2 stuff has been going up a lot lately ;/

I still want to have Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake in my collection, oh well, one day ^_^

That and Final Fantasy for the MSX.

FF would probably cost a million dollars. I've been eyeing the MG games lately, they usually go for around $150-300. I'm kinda regretting not getting Digital Devil Story since it didn't go too high (compared to these others.)
 
[quote name='linkpwns']Damn, how's the GGT been doin'?

I haven't posted in a long, long time.

Shit's been hectic for me recently.[/quote]

WB link.

Been good here, y'know gamning and all that.
 
[quote name='GGT'] Spanish Talk [/quote]


I am a Junior in High School, and I'm in my third year of French. Because our Spanish classes are taught by a short, angry, screamy woman who doesn't know too much Spanish. The first two years we actually learned and worked, but this year there's five people in our class, so we don't do anything.
 
Agreed w/apossum on language--I took a lot of Japanese, but since I never converse or write, I still suck at it.

If I had to rebuy anything in my collection, the most expensive would prolly be my Hyper Duel for Saturn or Border Down LE for DC. Needless to say, I hope that never needs to happen. (>_
 
Boom Blox is awesome. One of the best Wii games I've played. You should probably buy this if you have a Wii and enjoy being happy/don't absolutely HATE puzzle games. Or if you ever enjoyed playing with blocks as a kid. Perfect example of a fun, accessible casual game that anyone can enjoy that could only be done on Wii, and works with the Wii controls.

I hope that it doesn't go unnoticed because a lot of GGTers would enjoy it, I think.
 
Any new news on Resident Evil 5?

Watched the first RE movie (again) today and so now I'm curious.

I love that movie, the laser room was a trip.

All the hype for Boom Blox has me sorta interested. I generally don't like puzzle games, but if it's a really good game, I'm sure my puzzle-averseness won't keep me from enjoying it.

None that I'm aware of. Seems like it's got a ways to go.

That scene in the movie was a ripoff of Cube, but I did like the film overall.

Capcom is diversifying the race and ethnicity of everyone in the village, so that Chris can be an equal opportunity killer. The game now takes place in Eurafricasiamerica.
 
tomorrow i can finally pm NMH at BB and get it for $18.999

also the copy i got to pm has been sealed all week and has been taunting me :lol:
(kept it sealed in case the pm didnt go well so i could return it if i needed)
 
[quote name='Chacrana']damn, I missed Tekken night? Fugg. I wanna do it one of these times.[/QUOTE]

You need to get in on it. It's fun.

[quote name='MarkMan']Shit, anyone still playing Tekken?[/QUOTE]

I know I am after a snack break.

I'd say it really appeals to those types who enjoy playing games like Picross DS or the Sudoku in Brain Age, or Crush, or did the advanced stuff in Portal. Because it's a fun game to get through all the puzzles, but every level/puzzle has these perfect one throw/two throw solutions that give them a lot more longevity.

If you don't get that itch to find the perfect solution with puzzle games, then Boom Blox will likely be a bit more dull. It totally works for me, though. And the way the game is structured works for quick 10 min sessions or playing for hours. Creating your own levels has that sort of Garry's Mod style of physics sandbox thing going on, obviously much more limited, though.
 
So Pretty soon I think will be done games but the GTAs the GoWs the Rainows and the Fighting games, Rock band of course.

No money in it, I will win money playing Poker on Pokerstars.

Xfire by the way is Loggjaw
 
So I've been playing Sega Superstars Tennis most of the day today with various people in my family/friends. Fun stuff. Gotta say I'm glad it dropped to $20 so fast otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten it :p
 
Tekken was a blast tonight. I could keep going all night.

Meanwhile, my friend is beating Blue Dragon's ass. The boss fight song is soooo bad. He mutes the shit and has a silent boss fight for a few minutes. :)
 
Finally played TF2 on PC tonight for a while, on my friend's computer. It ran like shit at about 20fps (on a brand new laptop) but in general it was much better than the 360 version. I can't get used to using a keyboard for moving and weapon switching. I enjoy everything but the aiming better on a controller. Weapon switching and moving work better with an analog stick and buttons.

Gold Rush is a fucking blast, though. They need to get that out on 360 ASAP.
 
I listen to that Blue Dragon boss song sometimes while driving home from work... I find that song fuckin' hilarious... lolol.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yeah, it's pretty hilarious. Like the battle music in DMC3 and 4.

"The time has come and so have I. . .
I'll laugh last 'cause you cane to dieeee. . ."
 
oh and Steam makes Xbox Live look like PSN. I can't wait to get a new laptop and buy lots of old games that are on there for so cheap. They just need some lucasarts adventure games..
 
I haven't heard anything about Resident Evil 5 recently. Is it multiplatform or exclusive?

Didn't play anything yesterday, just running alot of errands and stuff. Went looking for a new office chair but didn't find anything that suited me for the cash I wanted to spend.
 
Cool, thanks MM. That's what I thought, but I wasn't sure.

I think I might replay some RE4 soon. I still have not beaten it.

Valve is having problems now because the hit the achievement cap at 99 or something in Orange Box, and now they have no idea how to implent the new weapons into the console versions of the game.

I know it has nothing to do with Gold Rush, but Valve keeps making excuses why they don't want to put the DLC on consoles, so I wouldn't expect it any time soon.
