[quote name='Rei no Otaku']We get it. You don't like Mass Effect, go troll about it somewhere else. We don't need that here.[/quote]

Wow dude can't take a joke very well can you? Because myself and whoknows joke about it all the time. Sorry I don't think it's GOTY like you, and in fact it is flawed and isn't perfect no matter how much you want it to be. If you want to flame me for me joking with a friend of mine or expressing my views on a game you like and my views are different then yours and you don't like that, then add me to your ignore list. Really sad you get that butt hurt over a stupid video game.


[quote name='jkam']Yeah get rid of it...if it helps you I got $22.50 for a mint complete GH copy not that long ago. I think I paid about $5 for it. Pretty crazy if you ask me. [/quote]
Damn really? I'll have to jump on this thanks a lot man. It's just after playing all the other R&Cs and then going back to this one it's hard as hell. Mainly due to the dated look/game play for me.
 
[quote name='InuFaye']Dont take the finals. Finals are overrated.[/QUOTE]
I'm tempted to myself since I'm not going to go next semester, then again when I do go back next fall I'd realize how I fucked myself over by not doing them :lol:
 
Can we please stop aruging? Its getting kinda annoying.
Thanks.

Chac,
I have 2 papers left to write, an exit writing to do, and thats about it.
Then freedom. Freedom from school.
 
Freedom from school comes for me Monday night. I don't have anything left to do work wise besides tests. I took one today, taking one tomorrow and then I have 3 on Monday.

Then it's smooth sailing.

Also, Geo Wars Wii is fucking sick! The levels that you unlock by connecting to the DS version are so good.
 
I have a test tomorrow, a take home test due tomorrow, and one test monday and then I'm done.

So far away, but after class Monday I want to buy a new game to celebrate/kill time.
 
I really need to finish these papers so its just smooth sailing until wednesday when I take my last exam.
Then im off to work full time until next semester.

And with that, I bid a fond farewell to the games of 2007 on the 360.
 
[quote name='MarkMan']But there's nothing wrong with Densha Otoko! Funny story, funny characters... and a hot main chick...(although I didn't think she was hot at first, she really grew on me).... :)[/QUOTE]
Yeah it was entertaining, but it is a show where the main character cries every episode. It's a little embarassing.

Reading the latest Berserk, sometimes I wonder about Kentaro Miura. You've got to be at least a little fucked up to come up with the scenes he does. I mean,
orgies with goat-headed, snake-dicked leader? Attempted rape by a demon-horse?
fucked up.

Started Galaxy tonight. Pretty much great.
 
All this talk about Mass Effect.

WHEN THE HELL WILL MY COPY GET HERE?!?!?!

I'm so desperate I almost started up Ass Creed. Then I remembered my life crippling addiction to Guitar Hero.
 
I hate this thread... why? it goes by too fast.


on gaming notes: I beat Mass Effect on Hardcore... not too hard once you know how to play. Next goalis to get level 60 :) maybe beat insane.
 
Got stranglehold from gamefly and played a couple levels, then after I got the update, the game screen presisted to turn to black whenever I started the game. Sent that back and am hopeing to get Assassins or Drakes. Just started GRAW 2 and HL2E1. Will probably finished up the HL series before I finish GRAW.
 
It has slowed down. Maybe everyone is playing games?

Today I've got to finish Riddick, play some SF3 3rd Strike, and then play some Mario Galaxy with a friend. He just bought a 37" Samsung LCD, and he doesn't have a component cable yet, so it probably looks like trash. I'm going to take either my 360 or PS3 over there and show him what some HD gaming looks like.
 
I cant wait until next year when I can be pimping out HD gaming on my SXRD.
Sex Pure Sex.
Im doing hd gaming now but its on a 30' Samsung CRT HDTV. I am having horrible geometry problems with it also.
 
Yeah, the Samsung CRT's all have geometry issues. I used to have one. Currently I have a 27" Sony Wega HDTV. It does 720p and 1080i, and looks really nice, but it uses a scaler and uses the 1080i mode for 720p. It still looks great, but it's not true 720p. And, letterbox on a 27" 4:3 tube is kinda small, but not bad since I'm at most 5 feet from it. 480p and i look great on it, which is the main reason I bought it, being an old school gamer. Plus it was on sale.

I'm looking to upgrade sometime next year to at least a 42", probably that 1080p Panasonic Plasma. I'll set up my current Sony TV just for old games.
 
I hear really good things about the SXRD, and they arent that expensive as long as you can deal with wall mounting it.

Plus I sit so much further back from my tv now it makes it hard to see the picture sometimes.

Ill probably get the 50"
 
[quote name='InuFaye']

Fifty feet? Nice.

Played more FEAR, I'm really getting into the combat. That enemy AI never gets old.

I'm also hooked on TF2 again. I finally got my 10 Sentry Gun kills achievement. I can't wait for the Medic achievements that are coming out soon. It'll be what brings me back to that class.
 
[quote name='InuFaye']I just have so many damn games to play, and no time to play them.[/QUOTE]

It fucking sucks, man.. I've had The Orange Box since Tuesday and I haven't even been able to take the plastic off. I should today, though. There's stuff I want to do but it's cold outside, so..
 
[quote name='InuFaye']Im doing hd gaming now but its on a 30' Samsung CRT HDTV. I am having horrible geometry problems with it also.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't doubt that I used to have the same TV.. I did everything I could about the stupid geometry and nothing helped, service menu and all. I eventually sold it to one of the suckers I call my friends. ;)
 
I got the thing for like 500 bucks back around 2003, but lately it has been nothing but trouble for me.

Im just gonna put it in the basement and hook up all my old consoles to it.
 
I love my 42" Panny 1080p Plasma. It makes me want to play Geometry Wars.

Edit: Final price on the panny was $800 + tax after some wheeling and dealing.
 
Can't find the Rock Band thread and the search is dying on me. So real quickly, does Rock Band have any pentagrams in it like Guitar Hero II does (in the button scrolls in at least one of the songs)?
 
[quote name='guinaevere']Can't find the Rock Band thread and the search is dying on me. So real quickly, does Rock Band have any pentagrams in it like Guitar Hero II does (in the button scrolls in at least one of the songs)?[/QUOTE]

Nope. There's nothing on the scrolling bar. I mean, there's like a little flowery golden design that shows up when you activate your multiplier but nothing like Guitar Hero.
 
So I decided I'd check just the CAG front page from work to see if there was any sudden deals I should know about, and of course rock band is in stock. So I've ordered a ps3 bundle. fuck.
 
After lunch, I think I'm going to hook up my Saturn and play some games. Guardian Heroes, Vampire Savior, and maybe a little Dragon Force. I'm so glad I picked up an S-Video cable for $6 shipped off of ebay years ago.
 
Finished up :gba:Final Fantasy VI Adv. at work last night. Kefka is without a doubt my favorite RPG villian of all time. I only hope that when Squeenix does the inevitable remake that they keep alot of the same dialogue. I would hate Hate HATE HATE HATE them if they changed it too much. Could you imagine if they added voice actors and being able to listen to that nutjob? Anyone got a dream "pick" for Kefka's voice? I was trying to think of someone, but my mind just draws a blank. I always thought he'd have a high-pitched voice, maybe with a slight english accent.

In other news, I found the DVD collection of Brisco County Jr. at a local used movie shack on the cheap and I've been watching thru them. Bruce Campbell is so underrated. They also had the Jack of All Trades collection, but I've never watched any of that show before. Any good?
 
*my first general gaming thread post*

I'm so happy I finished my Critical thinking take home final, now I can focus on studying for organic chem and ecology. I'm glad I can finally try and get past hard on GH, oh and I'm gunning for a 1000/1000 on ME, and Okami for $17, I gotta go and pick that up.
 
Welcome to the GGT.
First of all we are cooler then the OTT.
Second Read Berserk.
Third You must make rabid fanboy statements(Preferably) that are not called for, and somehow link back to your personal life.

That is all.

No Gahamez for me tonight, Ive got to go see Romeo and Juliet.
/cry
 
Eh, it's no biggie. You already have a pretty decent rig (I assume), so it makes sense to wait and upgrade when your rig starts getting long in the tooth. I know I won't be upgrading until at least 2009.

I used to rock the Celeron 450 MHz with 192 ram. It was free, so I didn't argue. I threw a Radeon 9200 in it for $40 and killed some old games like Quake III. And don't forget about the 6 GB hard drive and 48x CD drive.
 
[quote name='InuFaye']Chac rocks a pentium 2 400mhz with 128mb of ram.[/QUOTE]

Bitch, I got a 450MHz Pentium 2 with 128mb of RAM AND two Voodoo 2's. you know what 2 Voodoo 2's equals? It equals the best mothafuckin' gaming 24MB of video memory can get you. Of course, it was also an HP and it crashed all the damn time. Seriously. Like, turning the volume knob on the keyboard during a game = crash.

HP sucks.

Pfft HP is god.
 
[quote name='zewone']Fighting games are above criticism: FACT![/QUOTE]

In all seriousness though, I really don't think that people who haven't played a fighting game in depth are particularly qualified to make statements on them. It's the level of complexity that fighting games seem to always have now that's cast them into the niche.

TFN is not qualified to make any evaluative statements.
