I went through my Facebook games phase a while ago. Occasionally I get tricked into playing one for a little while again but in all cases they are swiftly abandoned. I guess I'm looking for more "game" than the "game" in those "games.
GAH! Energy is still the single most annoying and frustrating "innovation" in gaming. I am totally going to be grumpy about it while I am logging a billion hours playing this because I am WEAK.
Here's why I don't feel welcome at kotaku, I'm a white male conservative gamer. Every week there are several articles on kotaku that detail why one or all of those things are bad. Kotaku hates me.
That actually seems worse to me. I don't want to throw a grenade at my co-op partner when I am actually just trying to warn him that an elite just threw a grenade at him...
This is one of the few recent "next gen" gaming ideas that actually interests me a lot. I think there is huge potential for exciting and original gameplay using this technology. It is stuff like this that is more likely to get me to eventually buy something like a kinect, as opposed to forcing me to wave my arms around to throw a grenade in Halo. (son, I am disappoint.)
They clearly suffer from a lack of respect for each other in their relationship. If he respected her, then he wouldn't devote all his time to playing games. If she respected him then she would never pull a stunt like that.
I am an avid gamer, but my wife and I communicate with each other about it, we do not resort to postings in public. I make sure my gaming doesn't impact our relationship and I make sure to devote plenty of time to her and the kids before I go off to frag n00bs. It's simple and it works. She has things (reality shows) that she wants to watch without my running commentary as well so it is a win-win situation and we have achieved a wonderful equilibrium.
There is honestly no excuse for taking relationship troubles to craigslist, or facebook, or twitter, or i-am-a-shrill-harpy.com. I just hope to Jesus they haven't had kids yet, so that when their relationship explodes there will be fewer casualties.
Joke or not, that is just a crappy thing to do. Whatever the provocation.
This is the first time I have been excited for a Wii game. I think my kids may be getting this one for Christmas. I may even let them play it a little.
Once again, this highlights why a Star Wars MMO is stupid. I understand the "game balance" reasons why the lightsabers don't just cut the pumpkin headed guys' limbs off, but from a Star Wars universe perspective it is retarded.
I have felt and continue to feel that the only way to interest me with a Star Wars MMO is to make Jedi/Sith players NPC's only. Otherwise those characters just feel nerfed. When five Jack-O-Lanterns with Downs Syndrome can utterly destroy a sith raiding party with some melee attacks, then you have failed your MMO.
That's the problem right there. $60 for maps should not be the baseline. Doubling the cost of the game with some maps shouldn't be acceptable to people. At least, it isn't to me.
So yeah, COD elite is better than that, but having my dick smashed with a hammer is also better than having it severed and fed to tiger. That doesn't make it a really great option by itself.
