[quote name='TFN']Demos are not always the beginning of the game, pancake.

:roll:[/QUOTE]

Oh really? I've never played a demo before. Thanks for clearing that up.

:roll:
 
[quote name='Mojimbo']strummer, two things.

1. What do you think of Sandinista and do you recommend anything outside of London Calling, Combat Rock and the S/T(I'm already familiar with those three as well as Streetcore).

2. You should check out The Future is Unwritten, I watched that the other night and I thought it was produced exceptionally well(I thought it would be dryer and more low-budget).

Two parts really stood out to me.

They intercut a raw, black and white video of the band of the band performing Career Opportunities(I think) early on in the 70s with a color video of them doing the same song in the 80s on this huge stage where they're decked out in their faux military gear with the berets and everything. I thought that was really tragic, not because the music changed but because it seem like they didn't have the heart for it anymore.

The second was when they show a video of Joe and his kids(grankids?) a couple of years before he died. I felt like the biggest asshole for being bummed out that there's no more Joe Strummer when those kids aren't ever gonna have their dad.

I think it's supposed to be making the rounds in art houses right now but the less scrupulous can find a DVD rip on those intertubes.[/QUOTE]

Sandinista would have been an OUTSTANDING single album, and even a great double album. It just has too much filler.

Give 'Em Enough Rope is also great. Production is a little too slick, especially compared to the S/T and London Calling, but if you can get past it, it has some of great songs (much better than Combat Rock, which is the original line-up's weakest album).

Everyone even slightly interested in the band also needs to listen to From There to Eternity, one of the best live albums ever put together.

I'm also a HUGE proponent of Strummer's second album with the Mescaleros, Global A Go-Go. It's by far his best solo album.

I have not seen The Future is Unwritten yet, but I need to. I also need to read the book. I have Westway to the World and I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.
 
[quote name='TFN']Drop it, dilldow.[/quote]Alright, I'll drop it.
I'm satisfied to know that Uncharted is worth dropping a little change for, but not Mass Effect by Zew. :D
 
[quote name='zewone']Eat shit and die.[/QUOTE]

:lol:

Sorry, I didn't want to have to bring Okami into this, but I couldn't think of a better example.
 
I was telling myself the whole time I played the Uncharted demo that I would have enjoyed it more using a 360 controller.

If the aiming was on LT and shooting on RT, it would have felt more natural.

Someone needs to come out with a way to connect a 360 controller to the PS3 USBs ports.
 
[quote name='TFN']I know I'll enjoy Mass Effect over Uncharted... I wish I could use my Three Shitty controller on That Triple.[/quote]I probably will too.
 
I don't wanna get in that MMA thread, but Evans isn't that great.

Sure hes in a lot better shape than on the ultimate fighter, but Ortiz is wayyy overrated now... and he didn't fare that well against him.

It's a bit daunting for the uninitiated to get into because of all the hackneyed compilations and such on the market so I really appreciate it.

I watched all 10 episodes of John From Cincinnati and Johnny Appleseed was hands down the best thing I walked away with from there.
 
I don't think anyone can throw rounds with Chuck as of right now.. not even Silva. :D

Unless he takes him to the ground, of course.

Glad to help. I would say the most immediate purchases should be From Here to Eternity and Global A Go-Go. Those two will take over your life for weeks. I say that as I'm actually listening to "Johnny Appleseed", because you reminded me of it.

You think I should check this stuff out, too?
 
:rofl: Woops, I forgot about Jackson. I keep thinkin' that niggas in Pride.. and UFC bought out Pride. #-o

I didn't see the Keith/Chuck fight though.

I stand corrected, sorry.

I wanna see Fedor in the UFC though, did he come with Pride?

I don't think Chuck sucks, hes one of the better strikers in the UFC... you gotta admit.

(I haven't been keeping up too much as of late, I found out Serra beat Hughes like a week ago on that TV show)
 
Nah, Fedor is being a bitch.

He only wants to fight in Russia now.

Dana White was making moves, trying to set up some shit with him because Coture wants to fight him, but Fedor signed a deal with some Russian MMA faction for a couple of years.

So, now that Coture can never fight Fedor, he retired, that pissed Dana off.

Now, there is no heavyweight champion.
 
[quote name='senorwoohoo']You think I should check this stuff out, too?[/QUOTE]

YES, immediately.

Just played the first Galaxy in SMG. Gotta say it's certaintly very vibrant and colorful. Feels epic, but not quite the same as Mario 64. Maybe it's too early to tell, but I'll play some more later.
 
I don't know how many damned PRIDE episodes they've showed of Vanderlei and then another of Fedor.

I like watchin' him fight though, the dude is insane. I wonder if he didn't wanna come to the UFC cause of the rules?... or if he just really wants to stay over there. :/
 
[quote name='senorwoohoo']Eat an ass, dallow, you were supposed to send me something after I sold you that cube on the cheap. :razz:[/quote]Haha, thanks for reminding me!

I'll burn you a DVD (yes, video) tonight.
fuck, I was supposed to send Strummer something too.

Alright, no mucking around, two DVDs tonight.
 
[quote name='senorwoohoo']Fantastic.

Mind PM'ing me a list of exactly what I should get or should I not be lazy and look through the posts myself? :lol:[/QUOTE]

I'll just put it in the thread - hopefully other people might be interested.

Immediate Buys:

The Clash: London Calling (my favorite album ever, period), The Clash (both the UK version and the US version)*, From Here to Eternity (also works as a pretty good greatest hits, if you want to just try one album)

Joe Strummer: Global A Go-Go

Next Step:

The Clash: Give 'Em Enough Rope, Sandinista

Joe Strummer: Streetcore

Big Audio Dynamite: No. 10, Upping Street

* The UK version of the S/T is the original running order the band put together. When the U.S. version was released, a few tracks were removed and replaced with singles that had been released in the interim, and a few versions of the original tracks were included. The singles added are better songs than the ones removed, but they make the album less cohesive. Stupidly, when the remastered CDs came out a few years ago, instead of just putting the singles in as bonus tracks, they kept the two versions as two separate albums.
 
I don't think I'd accept a video gift from dilldow.

Probably a S'morrissey compilation where he writes ''WE HATE IAMS'' on his chest and uses it as a cum target for 600+ men.
 
[quote name='dallow']Oh, then never mind.
Your choice of words is what's off.

TFN, I agree with PR.

Demo not equal full game.
There's so much more to do, see, and play than a short ass demo.[/quote]

If the demo is done right, it can be a good representation of a majority of the game.

Demo for Ninja Gaiden Sigma? Good. They gave you the first level, some adjustable difficulty levels, a few missions in mission mode, some extra weapons to play with and ninpo to try out.

Demo for HS? (The US demo at least) Pretty much AIDS. You might get an OK idea of how the game plays, but when you get 3 minutes of combat, you can't really demo the combo system in any sort of detail.

Uncharted's demo was probably a pretty decent representation of the overall gameplay. And it gave you a decent amount of time with the game so you could experience it.
