Yes, I've gotten plenty of shit for my name as well.

I try not to be a film snob. Really, I try to appreciate movies for what they do right rather then what they do wrong, but from what I saw there was just so much wrong that I couldn't appreciate any of that movie.
I can even appreciate the movies that are just horrible (my Shark 3 reference, most B movies, old old kung-fu movies, etc etc). Once and awhile tho there are movies that I just can't stand, this being one of them (Borat was another, I absolutely REFUSE to watch it).

From what I saw:
Shark Attack 3 > Postal

By the way, best part of Shark Attack 3 is that they have like 15 minutes worth of footage of them putting that damn boat in gear. They feel like every time the boat starts to move they have to show them moving the trottle.

oh.. and the shark Moos!

It wasn't because I was offended, it wasn't because I hate Uwe Boll, it was because the movie was pure shit. I'm not saying it was just overall bad. The script, the acting, the directing were all crap. Really, Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle had better plot development then the part I saw.

Its not that I can't enjoy a cheesy movie, I watched my fair share of bad movies. But if the PREVIEW selects the best parts (it should to make you want to watch it) and you don't like it, then I really don't think there is much hope for it.

All this is coming from someone who purposely watched Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, look it up on youtube).

I've tried other microtransaction free MMOs, and truthfully I hated them all. Its much more staisfying when that armor you want, or that weapon drops from something you just killed then just going and buying it.

As it is, SOE is out my $60 for the game now.

TREYAAARRRRCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH.

Really tho, just give IW the rights to the game. They really are one of the few people that can do FPS's right.

Baby steps people, while the first person isn't 'PERFECT' its damn damn good looking. You want a perfect first person experience, you need to go buy a helmet with almost 200 degrees of viewable area around your head. How do you end up getting something like that? Someone takes a chance and creates something like this first.

Personally, I really like the feel of it. The future (if going by the past is any example) gets cleaner and cleaner, who's to say the future enviorment couldn't end up being squeaky clean? I personally like the idea of it. Yet again, tho its different.

And finally a main character who isn't "OMG HOT!!!111oneone". She's average looking, and personally I dig that. I've played the big tittied heroine, I've played the giant buff guy with super powers. Whats wrong with playing as a semi-normal person? In truth, none of the stuff she's doing is out of reach of someone who has done gymnastics or even martial arts ( a little emblished maybe), so there really is no reason the main character has to be some kind of super hero.

I just find it funny. "That game does nothing new!!!111oneone" vs "That doesn't do things like the rest!111oneone". Screwed if you do, screwed if you don't, I kind feel sorry for developers. :/

Its probably just me here, but Dragon Ball in 2D-ish just doesn't seem right. :/

Assuming they're just the publisher and they don't have some kind of legal agreement w/ IW that keeps this from happening... IW could really just say, go eff yourselves, and create a new IP based around war (face it the war FPS story line is generic and a dime a dozen to make) and cut out the middle man. All they need is a new publisher, and after sales of CoD4 I bet they would be beating them off w/ a stick.

Its a wining situation for IW. They get their own IP and don't have to pay any kind of licensing fee. Get to create a new group of games that each year will live up to their quality, and the fans get to know the next iteration won't be total crap.

But yes, it always bugs me when people say X is better then Y because of how it looks when the two really don't even apply to each other. Halo 3 Vs Gears for example. Two different art directions, even if both were *somewhat* grounded in reality.

The point I'm getting at is that, its never a simple as it seems to get complicated things like a networked game running. There are always tradeoffs of visuals vs performance. The more Performace the less visuals and likewise.

I work with computers for a living, they can be a tricky beast.

Even better donate the domain to the IETF, and let the modify the current RFC to drop any email to the domain. Someone respectable (as far as the net goes, they're pretty much godly) gets the domain, your data stays safe.

Just because you can make another shitty game, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

He may very well hate Kotaku, but that isn't what I was getting at. :)

If you think that him getting attention on a site that he is on a 'crusade' against is going to give him any more publicity then you're delusional. Do you think he goes around going "YO! Check it! I made front page of Kotaku!' ( no offense Kotaku :) ). Yea, probably not. The only time he even mentions these sites is when some asshat makes a threat to him in the comments. Why? Because it helps his agenda that games make people violent angry murders.

Keep it civil, don't make any personal threats and it doesn't help him at all and you stay informed.

When I say young tho I was under 10, so now-a-days I just rack it up to being a little kid. Don't necessarily believe in ghosts, but I don't rule out anything 'ghost-like' either.

Seriously tho, if it was being given away in AZ I would totally go pick it up. Ghosts or not, a deal is a deal.

Seriously tho, its actually a really good port for a machine as old as a Commodore 64. The guy apperently had fun making it, thats what matters. I'm sure the people who love playing with old school tech (its actually fun if you can get your hands on some of the good stuff) will have a blast with it.

By the way, transformers WAS a good movie as well.

Standing on its own tho, it was a good movie. I'll be getting it on blueray tomorrow. :)

I have no problem with 'featured content', but the PS store wants to have *ALL* of their content featured. At that point there is no need for it at all.

Then there is after you put an item in your cart. You can't just add it and keep looking, they break the flow, take you to a cart page, then once you've confirmed you want it, they take you back to the main page again, not to where you were last. Hence forcing you go try and navigate this perverbial maze again to get the next thing you wanted. I do like that they make you buy everything in one go, because that with the actual dollar amount lets you realize that maybe you don't want to spend that much money all at once.

While I'm on my rant, get rid of the damn mouse pointer. I know you want to give freedom, but trying to navigate a mouse pointer with a game controller is damn near impossible. Give it a logical layout so that you can use the simple dpad to get where you want to go.

But really, their 'store' would be laughed at even 5 years ago when buying stuff on the internet was less streamlined.

I love my PS3, and have purchesed maybe $50 worth of content from the store (rock band mostly), but everytime I have to go into that store a little piece of me dies inside.

Todays word of the day is a great place to start :)

garrulous \GAIR-uh-lus; GAIR-yuh-\, adjective:
1. Talking much, especially about commonplace or trivial things; talkative.
2. Wordy.

The people who say they try it before they buy it are mostly damn liars (Same normally goes for the mp3 pirates too). At the point where you actually have something most people will not be willing to go out of their way to aquire it again. People are lazy by nature.

The cold hard facts are that the people who pirate these games ARE hurting the industry. You can live in your little delusional world all you want and deny it while rocking back and forth in a dark corner somewhere. If you don't believe think about the pure amount of PC releases in the past to today. There have been a big drop in releases between then and now. Take a guess why.

The fact is people having a damn entitlement complex now. They think they have kind of reason why they should have something. Either 'its too expensive', 'they make too much money on it', or some other inane reason.

DRM isn't going anywhere. Games used to not have them, piracy existed. They added it, piracy existed. The only thing that is going to happen is the DRM is going to get more and more strict. The people who are pirating the games and directly responsible for it.

Seriously, can we bring the banhammer down on him?

So here's my question to anyone that may have the G25, does it work resonably well with things like heal-toe downshifting, or is the clutch more of a 'toy' as far as the game is concerened?

I wouldn't wish this movie on my worst enemy...

I really miss the days of customizing all your armor and weapons (Meteria System for the win) and some of the battles actually taking skill, (I'm looking at you Lavos, you rat bastard).

Truthfully, once I saw the Turn based combat video, I was sold.

Now place that image of the kid sticking up the other kid with a P90 in your head. :)

Seriously, I've never gotten the concept that you shouldn't spank your kid. As a kid, when I screwed up I got my ass beat. I didn't do it again, and I made better choices afterwards. Kids understand consequences, and a sore ass is near the top. :)

@Maximus9:
But they didn't even have a real gun. They had an airsoft gun, you can get that online for like $20. Thats like blaming a squirt gun on real gun violence. It was still a stupid idea to bring it to school tho.

Example - Chun-Li hands are off.. they gave her 'man hands', seriously, looks like she can palm a basketball with them.

Example - Face contortions on Ryu / Ken. It just looks.. weird. Its hard to place it on any one thing.

Those are small problems tho. I bet they'll be hard to notice during actual gameplay tho.

On a side note, doesn't it seem kinda fucked up to send the guys over in Iraq COD:4 or pretty much any war game? I'd be willing to donate a new copy to them if I knew they actually *wanted* it.

Seriously, I thought the same thing when I had it the first time. I figured out what it was the next day. Liquified Nerds Candy.

Seriously, go buy a pack of Nerds, and try the drink.
Thats litterally why i love that drink so much.

Seriously tho, assuming its cheap, I would buy one just for the laugh factor. Replace my roommates xbox with that one night, and listen as he tries to figure out wtf it is.

I've done the whole marching band thing in high school (keep the one time in band camp jokes to yourself :) ), while an okay, and mostly fun passtime in highschool, I'll have to pass on Video Game version.

Don't get me wrong. I love rythem games, I own all the guitar hero's (besides rocks the 80's) and rock band. But have you ever watched a drum major in a marching band? For the most part, they just mark time with their hands to keep everyone in sync.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what they come up with here, but my first impression.. meh.

On a side note, if they wanted to go with the cutesy animal marching band, they should license the happy tree friends characters. I would totaly buy "Happy Tree Friends: Marching Band Massacre". Flippy + Trombone = 100% pure awesome.

People seem to forget, this is Duke Fucken Nukem. You're not going to get a deep plot with a well thought out backstory, or some oscar award winning writing. This is a game where aliens come to steal the worlds supply of babes.

Its just supposed to be a fun and silly take on action hero's from the 80's. Don't go in expecting anything more then that.
