[quote name='InuFaye']Just letting you know fudge that game testing is the work of the devil, and you know what they say, the minute you start working with what you love, you wont love it anymore..............err or something like that[/quote]

Like I said, game testing isn't what I want to do. But when you are 15 years old and you get an offer to be payed 7 bucks an hour testing a game. Uh that is a pretty good deal and the game I would be testing is like almost not even a game.

I hope you know what game testing involves, and if you can stand the boredom it could be a good job for you.
 
Ratchet got fun. Who knew?

Speaking of jobs, I recently realized I make a bit less than I thought. Though if it wasn't for extreme luck, I'd still be unemployed and driving everyone around me into the poorhouse.

Yeah, it could be an Ender's Game all over again.
 
look at all the life reflection in the GGT. :)

You guys sound like you have useful majors...sociology major w/ an east asian studies minor ftw.

I'm looking at either grad school, law school, or teaching English in an east asian country (most likely south korea, since I wouldn't make enough money in Japan and probably wouldn't be stationed anywhere near a major city.) After teaching, then grad school or law school. or maybe mcdonald's.

Well, getting back to what's REALLY important in life.....video games....

I was just checking thru the EB/GS website and was kinda surprised at how they are marking up used Gamecube games. I mean, its hard enough finding the few games I need to round out my collection in B&M stores, and more and more online vendors are phasing out thier GC libraries. Circuit Shitty has 2 Cube games in stock online. This leads me to think that by the first of the year, they will be phased out completly in most places.

Anyway, back to the EB/GS marking up Cube games....some of the games like Lego SW II and TMNT are listed more used than what other retailers are selling new copies of. Pathetic.

Luckily, I only have a couple games left that I want to get.

Also, I was surprised to see this game listed as in stock online.
 
I'm not so sure economics is a useful major... sorta a major where you graduate and then people are like "well now what... idiot?" That's right, they call me an idiot. So then I gotta go to grad school and they'll be like "hmm... why didn't you just do this in the first place" and I'll be this close to jacking that $$$$$$ in the face.
 
[quote name='Rei no Otaku']King of Fighters XI is good times. Is there any reason why they still have not put Rock in the KoF games (the 3D ones not included)?[/QUOTE]

I think the main reason is because in the KOF story he's still a kid. In 2K1 Terry had a win pose where a much younger Rock came out for one of his win poses. He looked around 12 years old. KOF Max Impact isn't part of the main KOF storyline, so they can do whatever they want. I believe they want to build up his KOF debut, but I'm sure we can expect him in the next year or two. I wouldn't be surprised if they added him in KOFXII.

However with that said it's been confirmed that the Fatal Fury storyline is not part of the KOF cannon. Even though the the basic plot of FF carries over (characters and their relationships), simple things like Geese's death do not. It's very confusing, even to me.

Yeah, I would be kinda surprised if they didn't include Rock in KOF XII... they're throwing pretty much anybody in there, and not including an important character like that because of some half-assed storyline is a weak excuse.

That's what I thought too since I also remembered that win pose from 2001. The problem is that in FF teams ending in 2003 Rock makes an appearence, and he's the same age as he was in Garou.

Just put him in there dammit!

I completely forgot about that ending, been awhile since I played KOFXI. He sure did some growin' in 2 years. Musta been a bitch for Terry to buy him an all new wardrobe. But when you wear the same garb every year I guess it isn't so bad. :)
 
[quote name='InuFaye']I just bought that 60 dollar legendary edition on amazon. lol @ people who paid 120.[/QUOTE]

I nearly bought it for $100 when my wife was leaving Best Buy. Glad I held off.

The Naruto (360) - $19.99 at Best Buy thread had me rolling on the floor at the office.

Wings of the Goddess or the Goddess is supposed to arrive today.

I finished up the Union Campaign on Civil War last night. Playing the game on easy makes your character ungodly. I literally just melee'd my way through stages, only to fire the gun when I was forced to.

That guy was so excited to post a deal, and that dumbshit posted a guide. lol
 
hahaha awesome thread, great job!

KOF XI is pretty sweet. I don't know any moves since I've never played a KOF outside of an emulator for a few min before. Why is the vanessa (I think that's her name) girl a white redhead on the character select screen, but a black woman with black hair in game? Is that just a pallete swap, or what?

I also like using K' and B. Jenet. And King, I liked her in CvSNK2.
 
Not that theres anything wrong with that.. I just was very confused. Actually I was confused to see a black character at all in a japanese fighting game. They don't usually represent that race very equally.

I like her animations though, how the jabs are just a blur.
 
Hey, what about Duck King. Very sterotypical black guy from the early 90's but he's so zanny. Probably my favorite character in KOFXI besides Geese. I never really got into using Vanessa, but there's no doubt she's a cool character. But not cooler than this:

I really like Elisabeth. I was a Vanessa player for awhile, but she feels different in XI. Also I'm always happy to see the Anti-K'! Glad she's back.
 
[quote name='InuFaye']I can do medium/hard drums.
Expert Bass
Medium/Hard Guitar
Medium Singing.[/QUOTE]

I'm about at the same level as you but I'm not good enough at the drums yet.
 
[quote name='zewone']I'm looking towards the future, not the past.

Want Deus Ex 3.[/QUOTE]
I never finished Invisible War so I do want to go back to it sometime.


And Advent Rising is my favorite Xbox game :p
 
I beat Invisible War 3 times.

Awesome game.

I just have a hard time going back and playing games with bad graphics (in comparison to what I'm used to now).
 
I like the Black or Latina chick from DOA4. Didn't think I'd like her fighting style; I do like it a lot though.

edit: I really like the Geisha's fighting style though. If someone can recommend a book I can learn Ba Ji Quan from I'd really appreciate it.

I don't have a problem playing older games, plus Invisible War's graphics aren't bad.

She is black her name is lisa.
The Geisha is Kokoro.

Please, Learn the names of the characters in my favorite fighting game.
 
Hmm thats odd because the weezer single comes out the same day that rivers cuomo solo stuff comes out.
conspiracy!!!
 
[quote name='whoknows']After seeing the new 360 BC list I wonder if Advent Rising and Deus Ex will ever become BC[/QUOTE]

Do you have a link to to the new list? I want to play Metal Gear Solid 2 Subsistance & Samurai Showdown V (manly to see were I still rank cause I got pretty high in this one) also Capcom Classics Collection 2.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. Damn that update sucked.
