Beatdown

Indeed. Buy it, then Xfire me when you do because the in game messaging system is nonexistant.

Uh, which game? Cause if you ask me I'm just gonna tell you to buy em both because they're fun.

They fixed the economy like ages ago when they mass banned gilsellers/spawnwhores across the board. Some couple hundred accounts or something on Valentines Day last year. T'was epic.

Come play Monster Hunter with me. I'd also recommend Def Jam: Fight for NY as a suprisingly fun single player and wonderful multiplayer game.

Have they sped the game up past "dead grandma"? Am I still paying extra per character? Is it still required that I group past level 5 in order to live? No? They should probably work on that too. Ok guys, failures like these do not represent the majority (or even a considerable percentage) of the MMO players across the board. People who "lose their friends/jobs/significant others/lives" to games like these are not victims of addictive gameplay. They lack priority and time management skills and most likely deserve whatever loss they incur if they think poking another elemental to death is more important.

I returned it and put the money towards Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. Not to say it wasn't a fun game, I simply wasn't fapping hard enough.

One of my largest complaints with a lot of great actions movies has been what I call "shakey camera syndrome". During a lot of action scenes the camera will pan and shake so fast you can barely see what's going on. Sure it makes everything seem a lot faster than it is, but I'm the kind of person who actually enjoys seeing what the hell is going on. I was more than happy to find this movie does the exact oppisite. It was like a 2 hour highlight reel. I was thinking something more along the lines of throwing the failures off a cliff or leaving them in the wilderness/Alabama to fend for themselves.

My senior class had two pranks. First we took the assistant principle's entire office and set it outside in his parking space in the exact order it was in his office. A week later we took some boxed instant mashed potatoes and blue food coloring (our school colors were blue and silver) and proceeded to write "2002" across the football field. The thing about instant mashed potatoes is if you put em down before it rains it comes up. You can't rake it. You can't mow it. You have to either get it out the hard way or wait it out. Maybe it was just the stuff we used or maybe they did something to it, I don't know. Regardless the administration was pissed out of their minds and couldn't find anyone to point fingers at.

Do the thumbsticks feel...big (for lack of better term) to you? It's like they stick out more and have a larger range of motion.

I find it increasingly hard to compare anything to Gears of War graphically. I have to keep reminding myself that the 360's been out for a while now and the PS3's got a ways to go. I've gotta give Resistance credit for entertainment value though, they do give you a lot of shit to shoot.

If you check the manual it actually says something in the troubleshooting section about the excessive amount of heat the PS3 puts out and says not to freak out about it. I of course read this as Ken Kutaragi boasting the PS3's superior egg cooking capabilities.

Game music is indeed serious business.

Been messing around with the Full Auto 2 demo, playing online with random people. Of all the car combat games I've played over the years, none have made putting a ghetto battering ram on the grill of your car and bashing the shit out of someone so much fun. I've been headbutting people online all day.

But that's just me.

Hell, a lot of the early PS2's were bought as secondary DVD players. At least this way you're getting a halfway PC with Linux too. I wonder if I can install and run the original Neverwinter Nights...?

Until I either find an arcade stick comparable to this one or find a way to plug mine into a PS3, there will be no point in me purchasing Virtua Fighter 5 (not even for the awesome Rey Mysterio guy). I'm also getting real tired of having to almost completly re-learn my favorite character (Vanessa) after each installment of the series. The changes between VF4 and VF4:E were pretty significant, but after watching a few gameplay trailers she just looks different. Like Ivy SC2/SC3 different. Ugh. What makes it worse is the only PS3 arcade stick I've found has the two things I hate the most: a ball joystick more suited for playing 1980's arcade games and a crooked button layout. To make matters even worse it's incompatable with PS2 fighting games played on the PS3, making it completly useless for pretty much every other great fighter out.

Tried the Warhammer 40,000 books?

It's all food to me IMO. If I'm anywhere near internet tomorrow I'd be happy to contribute, plus this thread will give me more ammo on my roommates who don't know how to cook anything that doesn't say "instant" on the box.

This is what has me hopeful for the console. Looking at titles like MGS4 and White Knight Story, I have to stop and remember the early PS2 titles I thought were gorgeous back when the system was still new and look at the improvements since then. Though I don't think either of those games are launch titles. Still.

This game has eaten an almost embarassing amount of my free time over the past 2 weeks. I could go as far as to say this is the game that's almost singlehandedly renewed my interest in console RPG's, though I don't expect much else to hold my nonexistant attention span like this game is. To be honest the battle system almost reminds me of the days I endured FFXI minus the slow gameplay and guys playing hot cat girl ninjas, even down to wandering around and finding a random monster with a name who outlevels everything in the area (including you) and chases you halfway across the zone. I actually had a MMO moment while taking the first rank IV mark (the ring wyrm). "Yeah, I can take that. Lemme buff up first then we bust that ass. Alright let's do this...wait, that spell ends in "aga"...OH SHIT, THAT HURT. RUN." I can't really complain about the story so far though. I can't say it's groundbreaking but it's at the very least interesting and gives me a reason to play through the game other than the sheer joy of beating things to the ground. Personally I think part of the appeal of the game is the whole medieval theme they've adopted. I'm also extremly happy to see a good game that isn't based on some sappy love story between two young, overly-emotional main characters that spend half the game bitching and crying on each other's shoulder. But then again I haven't finished it yet, so there's still room for suprise I guess.

Everyone go alliance on Twisting Nether!

I would like to re-emphasize that paladins do not die 1v1. I'm so glad I went Alliance.

You're playing the wrong game son. ..Okay, that's true. What I meant was, people who won't rush into dangerous instances and battlegrounds while shouting some future internet slogan. Then again, I have low standards for the community in WoW... Oh, then you're ok. You'll find retards everywhere on the internet but thankfully the community's large enough to accomodate for everyone else.

You're playing the wrong game son. PvP? Paladin. PvE? Priest. Not sure about priests (I've killed my fair share rogue-style), but paladins are near impossible to kill 1v1. They simply don't die. I wanna say there really isn't a class in the game that's not worth playing, but for the sake of specification both classes are very enjoyable. Zircon'll probably post longer, more indepth info though.

Only if there's more than one OCR member playing that server.
