Oh hai GGT!

I have no voice and horrible head cold / sore throat. Today is staying home from school day (and why not? Today is the 7th day left of school, seems reasonable to not go :p ) and drinking hot water with lemon juice and honey to see if I can get my voice to a quiet gravel my tomorrow.

I hope I don't have strep throat. :p
 
I don't think I've ever had strep throat. For which I am very thankful. Just stay the fuck away from me. ;)


First review is out for MGS4. Perfect 10 from UK Playstation mag. They say it really brings closure to the series by tying up all the loose ends. I cannot fucking wait.
 
[quote name='kainzero']I spent today playing this MMO called "The Gym."

It costs me $35 / mo. to play. To level up you have to lift these weights and once you grind out one weight for a week or so, you can level up and lift a heavier weight. there's also DLC in the form of supplements and if you take the right combination you can level up faster, but there's a lot of useless DLC. And sometimes there are these hackers that use a program called "ste.roids / D-bol" and they level up way faster than everyone else.

The only crappy part is that you can only play for an hour, 2 hours at the most because there are diminishing returns in the day. Sometimes if you train too long, the program crashes and you can't play for 2 days.

One thing that really bothers me about this game is there are so many dumb parties. They don't how to level up and they keep lifting easy weights for almost no EXP, or they don't know how to use the proper skills / magic to lift the weight. It's a good thing I know how to solo level.[/quote]

I've been playing this game about five or six days a week lately! It's sooo addicting!

I have some of the DLC, but I've found it useless (and tasteless), so it mostly goes unused.

It's Getting Sick Season... I'm coming down with something myself (don't think it's as bad as what you've got, though). Hope you feel better soon ^_^

Anyway, good morning GGT. Weather sucks today, so that kills any plans to go out and do errands. Will be job hunting online, playing games, and doing some other things (what those will be, I'm not yet sure).
 
Yeah, the weather is crappy today. Though I'm still going out. I have a hot date planned for today followed by an even hotter evening!

And by hot date I mean going to a movie with my wife, and by hotter evening I mean both of us going to bed when we get home. *cries*
 
[quote name='tiredfornow']shame on you guys for making themanaknight pack up his bags and hit the highway. :nottalking:[/QUOTE]

lol whut? TMK left? again?

(got your game packed up and ready to go dude)
 
Just finished Rondo of Swords. Wow, it was pretty short o_O I have a save file marking a crucial turning point in the game, so I may go back and play it for a different ending.

In other news, I saw one of these in a display case at a local comic book store the other day; they'll have it available for purchase come Wednesday. The bike is fucking HOT and I'm so glad I didn't get Cloud by himself (because I knew this set was coming out) :drool:

Or 30 and 31, not sure exactly. Played the first one a dozen times till I lucked into a victory, and I've put at least three or four hours of replays into the second with not a chance in hell of getting past infinitely respawning guards. Did you get the "bad" ending (only 33 maps)?

Yeah, I think I got one of the "bad" endings (which wasn't "bad" in terms of the story, but was pretty lame).

I think I know which battle you're stuck on. If you have
Alberich
in your party, after clearing out as many guards as possible (and most of the magicians) build up his Overbreak and place him in the center of the upper part of the aisle, then activate the OB on the next turn. That's how I managed to get through it.

It is a really tough battle, yeah @_@
 
[quote name='MarkMan']BTW, I hate Mondays.

CAG Tekken night sometime again this week(before the weekend?)?[/quote]
I'm definitely up for another Tekken night soon. VF5 night would be nice too. I'm much better at that game than I am at Tekken.
 
It's so weird to actively not talk. Even when I'm alone, I think I talk to myself more than I'd like to admit. ;) But, yeah, haven't whispered a word since my wife left for work, even to the kitty. Just strange.

The good news is that I finally beat Metal Gear Solid. All through my play time today I thought, "Man, Liquid sounds so familiar. Like... Leonardo from the old Ninja Turtles cartoon..." Turns out that I win. IMDB is such a wild resource.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']I'm definitely up for another Tekken night soon. VF5 night would be nice too. I'm much better at that game than I am at Tekken.[/QUOTE]

Hell yeah. I want a VF5 night. Too bad it doesn't have rooms or lobbies or anything.
 
I've only played as Aoi since last December. So I'm pretty good with her. My quest mode record with her is 1100-ish W - 33 L. Online, not as good. It's easy to pick apart the AI. ;)
 
I've only played online for about 30 matches on my work account. It was fun/good.

I was going to go through the quest mode but got really lazy about it lol. All I wanted to do was beat myself up in the game... :(

Anyone else have the joy of beating me up in VF5 yet?

Oh, MarkMan can you confirm when Metal Slug 7 is comin' over here plz? I see pre-orders for the import version are up.
 
[quote name='gunm']Dare I ask wut happen to dat Manga Knife?

Mana Knight left because of the fact that he said CAG is ruined by a certain select number of posters that shall be unnamed.
 
Infairness to TMK he obviously thinks his comments are getting too personal again and is worried about getting banned.

It would help if everyone didn't jump down his throat every time he posts something that can in some way be construed as either pro-sony/anti-MS
 
Ah, I see.

Well, I'm sure he'll pop back in whenever the mood suits him.

I need to have a Wii night where I play the new games I picked up. :p

And thanks for checking, MM. Your info is always appreciated.
 
I'd be up for a weekday Tekken night. Saturday night ain't the easiest time to catch.
 
If somehow CAG/GGT Tekken night bleeds into the late night/early morning hours, I will offer my ass for beat downs. It's been hard for me to tear away from GTAIV though. :p

Edit: hm, looks like I can re-patch Burnout Paradise now. I may try do that tonight.
 
MarkMan, your playing of DQIII has inspired me to play through the entire Loto trilogy. I only beat 1 and 2 as a kid and have never played 3. Bonus, now I can play them on the can instead of sitting in front of TV for all the grinding.
 
MarkMan, your playing of DQIII has imspired me to curse Squeenix again for not getting the DQIV remake to me fast enough.

I am still looking forward to FF IV, however. And since it comes out just four days after my birthday, I get it free for me!

EDIT: Oh, and I just noticed that the DQIV remake has a US release date of August 29. Sweet!
 
Hm, DQIV in August? Don't see a pre-order up @ amazon yet, but damn I want that game too!

Edit: Ooo, gametrailers has some NG2 clips up. Damn, sooo many games comin' up!
 
DQIV was the shit on NES. I wanted the remake when they teased me about it on the back of the DQVII instruction booklet. I'd rather have it on PS1. . .
 
[quote name='MarkMan']Sorry that I don't have 22.84 posts per day since joining in April of 2006. I post, just not nearly as useless and frequent as you do. You might miss my posts under the rubble and retardation aura that surrounds your own[/quote]

Its nice getting paid doing absolutely nothing but surfing the internet and posting in what is pretty much a chatroom. useless posts are what make up the OTT, as its not supposed to be about gaming, dumbass. :cool:

No need to get serious though... its been clear i was just mocking you for posting crap you know nobody would take you up on 1) nobody in the OTT plays button mashing garbage fighting games 2) we wouldn't want to make you look bad. you're no fun though, so i'll stop here, CAGnewbie.
 
[quote name='blueshinra']So Squeenix will be charging $40 for the DQ IV remake, right? Wouldn't expect anything less from them :razz:[/quote]

Ahh, the good ol' squeenix tax.
