Is it just me or am I the only one who think the bikes suck in burnout? I realize they're free but they're just not fun to use.
 
So when did IGN change their website? I don't go there often, maybe once every other week or so, but I know it wasn't like it is now the last time I checked.

:puke:
 
[quote name='Moxio']IGN has had the shittiest layout of the major gaming websites for years.[/QUOTE]

QFT. Yeah they changed just their front page. The rest of IGN is still the same old IGN.
 
It says "beta" up at the top, so I'm guessing they're gonna do the whole site in that format.

Seriously, I think they were just jealous of CAG 2.0, and wanted to try something new themselves. That said, I really hope they don't plan to give out user blogs like we have here. That would almost be as bad as if Gamefaqs hosted blogs.
 
Ign has had blogs for a long while, and saying IGN is jealous of CAG is laughable.

I rarely post there anymore thanks to you guys though. I got tired of dealing with all the douche bags. That's not to say that there aren't a ton of great users on that site though, because there are. I've spend many a bored weekend chilling on the vestibule and the halo board.
 
whooooo!!

NSFW!

the girl at the cell phone shop fixed my phone for free!!

she said it was becoz she liked my shoes ^_^v I'm about to drop another $75 on a new pair too

so.... I shall play 1 stage in DMC4, 1 stage in Yggdra Union, do something else, then hopefully finish DMC4
 
Gamefaqs with blogs would be hilarious.

Crysis Warhead is pretty sweet. I'm enjoying it a bunch. Basically, it's Crysis with more action, a tasty combo for sure.
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']How big of a framerate boost did you get over the first in warhead, hankme?[/QUOTE]

Comparing high settings on both 32 bit versions in DX9 at 1680x1050, they are pretty similar. Warhead runs a bit smoother. The 64 bit version of Crysis runs about as smoothly as Warhead does. Warhead doesn't have a 64 bit version though. All hover in the mid 20 to upper 30 FPS range.

I'll go run some tests and confirm that, since I wanted to compare Crysis to Warhead anyway. :)
 
oh man look whats coming out in america next month

seriously there's like 300 random DS games coming out in october that will all kick mad azz
 
I got a 120GB Hard Drive!! For $70!

That's about as cheap as they're going to get, methinks. All set for the dashboard updates, i'm going to install all my games!

Now, about transfering my saves over to the new hard drive.. Will a memory card work, or should I try to track down one of those transfer cables? Any other GGTers gone through this process?

For once I agree with Mana Knight - Lost Planet is awesome. Especially colonies.

The bikes are fine. They just don't fit too well with the general Burnout theme since they are so fragile, and wiping out is even easier with the Rice Rocket.
 
Kage 2 does look pretty good, along with lots of other random DS games.. there are so many under the radar DS games, like Age of Empires, Glory Days 2, lots of other third party awesomeness that people forget about. Unfortunately those games also drop in price quick so I usually wait on them..

I think the bikes are fun but it feels a bit thin compared to the content with cars so far. I wish you could have bike-car races like PGR4. Man I loved that game.

Yeah, I was thinking about importing Kage 2 like... half a year ago. I'll maybe pick up the domestic release... but I'm not sure if the game is good or great...

True, true.
 
[quote name='distgfx']Is it just me or am I the only one who think the bikes suck in burnout? I realize they're free but they're just not fun to use.[/QUOTE]I love the bikes. They aren't the best for Burnout type gameplay, but they play great. Most fun game I played in years that used bikes.
 
I'm pretty excited for Motor Storm. I hope it is popular though. $30 Burnout vs $60 Motor Storm seems one-sided.
 
I'm still not seeing much coming for the DS I want, really just Kirby and Castlevania. Seems like everything else is a JRPG, casual game, or some other genre I don't care for.
 
[quote name='blueshinra']The GGT has a number again! :whee:

Disgaea and Rhapsody on the DS this week! :whee: :whee:
[/quote]


Despite the fact I own Disgaea for the PS2 and PSP, I look forward to getting the DS version along with Rhapsody.

Didn't really play too many games today. I just worked and watched an ep of Code Geass on my PS3. I'll probably put some more time into Disgaea 3 later. I'm trying to level up a bit and unlock some new classes.
 
I'd like to pick up Motorstorm PR too, but I'll wait for a sale.

Some other racers I'll prolly get eventually also: Pure, Midnight Club LA, and NFS: Undercover.
 
[quote name='Jest']I'm pretty excited for Motor Storm. I hope it is popular though. $30 Burnout vs $60 Motor Storm seems one-sided.[/QUOTE]I will get MotorStorm: PR, no doubt. I already have Burnout. There WILL be a CAG night for it also.

I might pick up NFS Undercover because I will not deny I'm a NFS fan.
 
I'm late again...

I've had a crazy weekend. I'm a CA/RA on campus and Friday night some dumbass decided to toke up in his room. We called University Police and by 4 am they had searched his room and arrested him. Totally fun night :roll: but it does make a good story!

Then I got my reinbercement(sp?) check from the Bursar's Office and I went out and got a futon for my room. So good!

And now I'm waiting for Mega Man 9 to come out on PSN. Are there any other PSN titles really worth looking in to?
 
Why'd you have him arrested for smoking weed? It's not like he hurt anyone.

Anyone have an edge card they wanna let me use, lol?
 
Finally finished some work I had to get done today. Have a ton more work I should do, but I'm beat and it can wait till tomorrow. Need to get some football watching or gaming in. May play a little Braid and/or Ninja Gaiden II.

Actually, think I'll watch the couple of Terminator: TSCC episodes I missed while out of town online first, then see if I'm up for gaming or watching the GB/Dallas game.

You can set off the smoke detectors, in which case it becomes everyone in the dorm's problem. And the fire people are none too happy.

And anyone who's stupid enough to toke-a-toke in their dorm room instead of taking that shit somewhere else probably isn't going anywhere in life, so who cares?

Ah, I got ya.
 
upgrade my comp's laughable specs but dont feel like installing a mobo myself since ive had too many close calls when installing mobos (eg: dog runs in a makes me trip and i almost fucked up the mobo, earthquake, etc)
 
[quote name='Chacrana']barebones? What are you tryin' to do, son?[/quote]

Trying to build a comp that's better than his current one.

Hints:

Dell
P4
Integrated GPU

I believe I've said all I need to.

EDIT: God dammit chaos, don't beat me to responding to a question you were asked.
 
I would like to upgrade my processor and video card, but I'm having a hard time justifying it since I know L4D will run on anything.

How long does gamestop.com's shipping generally take?
 
That isn't even a good story. "some guy was smoking pot, so we arrested him." That's like the You Got Served of wacky college hijinks stories.
 
Would anyone like a $5 off a $50 order for Play-Asia? It came with my Pokemon Platinum, but I'm not going to order anything that expensive in enough time to use it. It expires Nov. 2.

On the gaming side, I got clubhouse games, N+ and space invaders extreme on the DS this morning from the TRU buy 2 get 1 free on $20 games. Used the $20 gift card I got from TRU for buying Force Unleashed, and I made it out of there with 3 games for $20.

I shortened the tale considerably. It was more of a pain in the ass than anything else.

And if I didn't call University Police, I wouldn't be doing my job which could lead to me being fired. Not that I'm trying to get all defensive... I'm just saying.

Actually, I wanna know the story too, just for shits n' giggles.
 
Okay. So here's the whole story. AKA My version of it. And if I can get a copy of the incident report, I'll post that too.

It was like 1 am. We were on the second to last round of the night, meaning I could go to bed. We get up on the 5th floor and we smell dryer sheets and air fresheners and then a faint/washed out smell of pot. We sniff like 3 door frames until we find the door. We step back, but keep the room in our view in case the dude wanted to leave. We call UPD. They show up. Knock on the dudes door. The dude answers the door in just his boxers. His eyes are beat red and glazed over. He's got the whole "dude..." sluggish talk going on and the air just reeks of pot and air fresheners. He's also got a towel blocking the bottom of his door, a fan pointed out the window, and dryer sheets and an air purifier by the door. Two officers tell him that they have a form that he can sign so they can search his room(right to consent form) or they can get a warrant to search his stuff. The dude opts for the warrant. They tell him to put clothes on and to beat it, saying he can't go into his room until after they search the place. Around like 4 am, (2 hours after we were supposed to be off duty) we go upstairs to check on things. They've searched his room and pulled out two paper bags of "stuff". They tell us that they found a bag of pot, about 6 beers, a pipe, and a makeshift pipe. Then they bring us into the room and show us the most ridiculous contraption ever. It was like a giant plastic bag that could be velcroed to the floor. The cops told us he sat under it and smoked. That was a wtf moment for me, because that doesnt even sound enjoyable, and I'm a former smoker myself. But whatever. The dude comes back to his room, the cops tell him what they found and told him that he was being arrested. He was in holding til 5 am, then released, and made him walk about 2.5 or so miles back to campus with it being 32 degrees out.

The whole situation left me vexed. Like, this is my first semester as a CA and this was my first weekend duty, so I really wasn't expecting something like that to happen. But whatever, I know I'm going to bump into more situations like it... people are just stupid. The thing I just dont get, is that the dorm room is surrounded by woods. Why not just go out there?
 
[quote name='Ahadi']so I really wasn't expecting something like that to happen.[/quote]

That was your first mistake.

[quote name='Ahadi']But whatever, I know I'm going to bump into more situations like it... people are just stupid.[/quote]

A lesson well learned and something we can all relate to.

I am not enjoying Battle Fantasia as much as I should.
 
CML anyways lolol

Yay my 360 has been shipped back to me. I'll probably get it mid week.

If I order something from gamestop.com tonight with 2 day shipping I'll get it wednesday right?

I'm not made of money and games! I actually need money right now like most other CAGs apparently. No guarantee on shipping in my experience.
 
Broke sons of bitches!

I'm wondering if it would be worth the extra 3 bucks to just get it shipped overnight. I want Yakuza and KoF soon.
