We won't see hide nor hair of them after a couple of days, though we'll see plenty of them in the meantime. :wall:[/quote]

Is anyone actually watching the Oscars? I haven't watched any yet tonight, but I may start in about an hour or so, just to catch the big awards. I'm rooting for The Departed.

Make me a temporary mod. I'll ban them all, then when the backlash hits, ban me for a few days. I'll come back, we'll all have a good laugh about it, and it'll be remembered only when the Cheapy Awards come around.

I've seen more stupidity on here in the past 36 hours then I've ever encountered on the interweb. Granted, I always avoided forums and stuff in the past. Still, this is utter idiotic chaos, what I've seen today and yesterday. Going over to FatWallet to read what they had to say just made it worse.

I'll keep that in mind when April 1 comes around.

Kinda glad I've taken a break for a bit from here.

If I had the know how and all that jazz, I wouldn't mind being a mod if it ever arose. Hell, I ususally sit here all night anyhow
 
Is there a reason that the BB clearance thread hasn't been closed? It's basically become a hellhole there, devoid of any reasonable or sane thought. Perhaps it could be closed, and the important facts could all be put in the first post? Then perhaps tomorrow, a new thread could replace it, where people can state where they found stuff?

Fun Fact: While searching Google to see if "hellhole" was one word or two, I found this.

From what I can tell, nothing interesting/good/exciting has happened here in the past two days (except for the knowledge of the BB clearance, and the knowledge of that is all you need).

Shit, I forgot about them. Roomy is playing FFXII right now. Asked him if he could turn it over there in a bit, he said he didn't want to, but he will. Afterall, hes been playing FFXII for about 4 hours now...

The Wing Commander series back in the day was a damn addictive digital crack to me. Trust me... after a good long decade I feel its time for me to have some of that good ole Wing Commander digital crack and very soon too. :D

I think if I can get myself away from Twilight Princess I might have to install "Kilrathi Saga" on my system and relive the memories of the WC series. I miss those days badly.

I know, I looked thru the list all ready, and I can tell that my BB isn't gonna have 90% of those games...so theres no real point in me even looking for something that interests me. Though if I run across an CE copy of Oblivion, I'll snag it and maybe try aand play it. Once I get my 360 back that is...

I really don't see much mention so far of a plot.

Damn, just now noticed that you finally got a Wii, Demo. Glad to hear it. I've only seen them in the wild once. A couple of weeks ago, my Walmart had 3 of them. If I had had my credit card paid off, me and the room mate would have sure as hell gone halfs on it that night

Yeah, Oblivion is basically all I want from this sale, but I would probably pick up the other 360 games for cheap Achievement Points. I'm sure my BB won't have anything I really want though.

There's a lot I would want, but the chances of finding any of it are so slim that I began to forget about it literally seconds after I read the list.
 
[quote name='zionoverfire']I really don't see much mention so far of a plot.[/QUOTE]

Its for XBox Live Arcade on the 360. If EA did do a new "Wing Commander" game they would pretty much have to reboot the series. Its been a decade since the last original WC title came out from the back then Origin ("Secret Ops") and a bit longer since the last retail WC title ("Prophecy"). I doubt that it would sell well if EA tried to continue the storyline where those two left off. Not that there is much to pick up from anyways....

Outside of trying to figure out if the aliens have done anything to Blair after they kidnapped him at the end of "Prophecy."

To be honest I wouldn't mind seeing a new compilation done for at least the PC bundling all the WC titles together with better compatability with newer systems. The only thing I would like to see improved is the video quality from WC3 and on - especially with "Wing Commander 3." The video encoding looked like ass even back then... well on the PC it did at least. The 3DO and PS1 ports looked at least near VCD quality, but we know that much better quality can be done today.

Agreed. I'm gonna go tomorrow on the off chance I'll find something, but I'm not expecting anything... most of these games have been long gone anyway.

I need to look at the list again, because all I looked at was 360 stuff. Achievement points have spoiled my other gaming. If I play PS2, I'm thinking "I am wasting valuable achievements-earning time!" I'm sure there is some good PS2 stuff on there, but I don't know. My PS2 backlog is ridiculous. I got rid of a ton of games, but I still haven't played Beyond Good and Evil, ICO, or SotC.

While your doing that checkout Mvick288 he's been long overdue for a ban IMO. He's makes racial slurs, asking people what they use to jack off with. He's a troll plain and simple.[/quote]Seconded.
[quote name='senorwoohoo']I'm now going to see Mr. Lif to make up for it.

All 3 of you care.[/quote]Mr. Lif > Brother Ali. I think. I only half remember both of them, as I played them in the background.
 
Oh, Brak, I watched The Good, The Bad and the Ugly last night because of the review you gave it a few OTTs ago.

thumbs%20up%20col.gif


Its hands down one of the best movies I've ever seen.
 
As for the BB sale, I stopped by there today to see what they had. I made a list of the games I really wanted to get and of those ~15 they had about 5. I grabbed those and stuck them in a clothes dryer. :lol: If they're still there tomorrow, they're mine.

Not that I am surprised. Put a crowd pleasing favorite up against a tear jerking drama in Oscar contention these days - you know which of the two is most likely to win.

You just now saw it for the first time?

You're really behind in the times... o_O

But yeah it's a spectacular film.
 
I still can't believe that girl from Dreamgirls beat out the woman from Babel and the little girl from Little Miss Sunshine. Hell, even beat out Cate Blanchet. I know that the girl from Little Miss Sunshine, thats a lot for a girl as young as her. Hopefully that may mean a bright future for her.

If only I knew what Best buy you went to...
 
[quote name='prmononoke']Here is where you can see the list of winners as it happens.[/quote]Well, Pan's Labyrinth already got three, so I guess it's not that bad...
 
Kayden that is awesome.

I really hope there is a game to two left for me tomorrow. Really all I want is King King and Castlevania (I also would like to get some of the Xbox fighting games on the list as well).
 
[quote name='RedvsBlue']If only I knew what Best buy you went to...[/quote]

:lol: I used to live by 3, but now I just moved and the closest one is like 10 miles away. =(

I never thought I'd be sad to be far from a BB. I just got a reward zone card too.
 
[quote name='LiquidNight']Seconded.

I actually love 'em both. I just have heard Ali puts on a great live show, but I've heard the same for Lif so I'm good either way. I might be seeing the Roots again, too, because they're playing in RI in April at Brown University. :)

Which Castlevania?

I think they only had one King Kong at mine, which wound up in aformentioned dryer... :lol: They had a lot of Full Auto though.
 
[quote name='LiquidNight']Well, Pan's Labyrinth already got three, so I guess it's not that bad...[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that's kool, but not the one it deserved most.
 
Hell for 2 dollars I would definately get Full Auto. And as far as Castlevania, I am hoping to get both but Dawn of Sorrow is the one I really want.
 
What are the best PS2 games on the BB sale list? I'm thinking of getting one soon and want to grab some games on it now.

And Frisky, you play your PSP a lot, right? Can you recommend some games on that list that will be worth making me blow the dust off of my $250 paper weight?
 
Virtia Fighter, Metal Gear Subsistence, Maximo, Killer 7, Killzone, and We Love Katamari are some of the best ones I saw. Some people may have differing opinions about the ones I listed, but most of those are 2 bucks.
 
As much as I find all the discussion about PB annoying, I think it was the ingredient on Iron Chef tonight. I'll have to catch the rerun since my gf is watching the Oscars.

Speaking of, I hate being the only person I know that didn't enjoy Pan's Labyrinth as much as seemingly every other human being in the world.

I certainly didnt love it to death. It was overrated IMO. People acted like it was the greatest film ever. Nah. I liked it very much, but it isnt a top 10 for me.
