On one hand, my dad brought home a 46” flatscreen TV out of the blue. On the other, Wipeout HD‘s last update has rendered it unforgiveably choppy, so I can’t actually enjoy it in HD.

At least I’ll be getting Blade Runner on Blu-Ray in about a month.

To do what has to be done by me and help my brother to defeat the enemys?

I wish to say that girls do play Modern Warfare 2.

That is all.

Oh, I agree, TP was pathetic in how easy it was. But I guess we’ll just disagree on the color/setting. I really loved the look of the Twilight (especially when you were coming up to the gate from the light world).

The Twilight gates were actually really well done. And although I stand by the fact that TP felt dead to me, I shouldn’t really blame it on the appearance. Hyrule Castle was great in both Twilight and regular style, and Lake Hylia looked amazing (not in Twilight, though). It was a combination of the lack of solid music and lack of difficulty / puzzles. As well as the wasted space, especially in Lake Hylia.

When I remember all the small, individual aspects of the game it seems really great; there’s an ice mountain, lake / volcano / forest / temple / etc levels, the golden wolf and a lot of cool, small things. But it didn’t seem to really come together for me. Bad luck, I guess.

On a random note for anyone that plays Brawl, some really awesome hacks are coming out.

Only girls play MW2! Haw! Take that, EA and Infinity Ward!

This is true. When speaking on the mics everybody sounds like 6 year old girls.

I am a retard, disregard my previous post. I thought EA had published it for some reason, because I hate them. I still hate Activision too, though, so my sentiment remains the same.

I just hate EA for strong-arming an exclusive deal with the NFL when I don’t really care for Madden.

Whoa. Whoawhoawhoa. How can one be forced to watch Freeman’s Mind? Once you start, you can’t stop. Although I do prefer Civil Protection.

Everybody needs to watch these. Now.

GAHHHHHHH!!!! CAN NOT WAIT!!!!!

Yeah, I can imagine a lot of people are going to be throwing their controllers at the TV because they can’t figure it out. :P

Wheatley looks and sounds awesome, though.

Zigackly.

X-Com: Terror From The Deep has got to be the most frustrating game I’ve ever played in my life.

I have played IWBTG, and TFTD is more frustrating.

Yeah. TFTD was one of the first computer games I ever played, almost a decade ago IIRC. It was probably the most frightening game I ever played, and I never even got to the hard stuff. It can still be pretty nerve-racking even now, and I’m a grown-ass man.

I still haven’t even played UFO Defense. It doesn’t seem like it would be as scary since it isn’t underwater.

I finished Bioshock today. To be honest, it seems pretty overrated.

SS2 is awesome. Geez, I can’t believe that game is eleven years old.

Smart people on the interwebs have upgraded the visuals (it shipped with fairly low-res textures and extremely low-poly models, even for its age) and I believe I’ve read of ways to run it in higher resolutions than the 1024×768 it was limited to. There’s a game that deserves another playthrough for sure. I only ever got a few hours into its bastard heir Bioshock 1, despite it looking great.

Wait until the puzzles get complicated. Then you’ll really feel smart. Or incredibly stupid. Whatever.

Finally playing Mass Effect 2. Enjoying it thoroughly, as expected.

It just looks so complicated for such a simple solution.

Another dumb thing I did was shooting for the fewest portals on Chamber 13, and rather than doing it the easy way(throw the box onto the lower switch, stand on the upper switch, fire a portal past the locking door) which I didn’t think of…

I carried the box down to the lower switch, used it to deflect that little electric thing until it hit the platform activator, then I jumped across to the ledge outside the locking door, set the box down, jumped off it onto a tiny protruding panel, and off that onto the platform with the second box. Then I just dropped a portal along the wall that led back up to the top switch and went back down.

Way, WAY too much work.

I like Alien Swarm so far.

We should play some 4-man friend games sometime, fellow Alien Swarming Imps. I call Vegas.

Dibs on Wildcat. Me-ow :p

So you get to unlock everything over and over again, I guess. I’ve almost done a second round. Also, while Hard is not much harder than Normal, Insane lives up to its name. Barely finished the first map, and then headbutted against the elevator for an hour or two last night :P

Starcraft II has been released! I never thought I’d live to see the day.

MW2 is the most overrated game ever.

MW2 < UrT

I was playing Vampire: Bloodlines before I was in LA. Its one of the best rpgs out there.

Baldur’s Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. :D

Coincidentally, I just installed the Baldur’s Gate Trilogy mod the other day. I’m not really sure what class I should play though, since I never really got that far in it before.

Just do what you want. One of the great things about BG2 is that you can play it over and over and it never gets old. I’ve beaten it at least 8 times. This time around I’m planning to do Level 31 Mage then Dual Class as a Fighter and get to Level 40.

Playing Dragon Age. So addicting.

Quickscoping in MW2 is easy…

Got a ps2 emulator to run. Shadow of the Colossus, here I come.

I go for a while without playing Half-life 2 and forget how awesome it is. Then I start playing it again and remember just how incredibly amazing this game is. I love it so much!

You know a game is good when the vehicle section is one of the best parts of the game. If I could, I would play the whole game with the airboat.

Psh, Zerg is where it’s at.

I haven’t even played the game yet, and I knew his strategies (using gateways to block the bridge and spamming zealots) were full of fail.

Mass stalkers is where it’s at. Zealots lost their awesomeness from SC1 to SC2. :(

Just sad to see all those Zerglings get killed by one Void Ray.

Lol, I wonder what the rank was on that Void Ray when it finished. Also, if you get SC2 we’re playing online. For sure.

$100,000,000.00 was spent on APB, and only ~10,000 copies were sold. sigh

XD Seriously… Wow, what a waste of money. I wonder when most gaming studios are going to learn that you need to wait until the game is polished and, well, good before releasing it.

No one sets out to make a bad game.

No, but it is pretty easy to tell when one is. But, then again I suppose the people who make it are biased.

Gonna play me some FFXIV beta in an hour or so hopefully :x

Once it lets me enter my code, I’ll post my charactername/server here.

edit Did finally get it registered at just shy of 2am, but I tried to log in and got a lobby error. I guess I’ll try again tomorrow.

double edit I’m on Wutai as Sansafro Jones.

triple edit To hell with this game. It crashes at inconvenient times, the play-limiting mechanism makes it feel like there’s nothing to do, and after ~2 hours of play I still only have one move. Fie on that.

Duke Nukem Forever isn’t actually gonna take forever.

I can’t wait for the ear wiggling scene.

I’ve been watching tons of Starcraft matches thanks to HD and Husky. It feels cathartic to see a Hatchery burst.

Dissidia sequel announced, with Lightning and Kain. I hope they give it a decent story this time.

I played the Amnesia demo too, and had to quit after an hour. I have really awful spatial sense, and it took me way too long to figure out how to move around. After I inverted the mouse and went in circles for about twenty minutes, I sort of got it, but ended up spending the rest of the time getting lost. From what I’ve read the demo’s pretty linear, but I have problems with direction in virtually every game I play.

It’s kind of a shame, since it’s supposed to be pretty good.

What? That’s horrifically unrealistic. We didn’t need any help against Mexico anyway.

Clearly the game has a malfunctioning Alamo simulator.

@Swenson: I’m not a big fan of horror movies, but I love writing and reading scary stories. I do like horror that’s creepy and atmospheric, but the gory/A SKELETON POPPED OUT jump scare stuff doesn’t really interest me.

Also, I’ve come to the conclusion that I am irredeemably horrible at fighting games.
