    I... I'd like to apologize to mister Schafer. Though I absolutely adore the humor and the style of Brutal Legend, it's a terrible chore to play. And I dread the idea of playing through another haphazard excessively chaotic battlefield of musical magic spells, nitro boosted super cars, and all too frequent command miscommunication.

    Guys if you could do me a favor and just tell Mr. Schafer that he indeed is awesome and my copy of Brutal Legends will be arriving at the end of the month. Did enjoy the demo quite a bit.

    Now lets see him and his crew pump out more games!

    The standard "Hey Tim, what about..." questions will do fine, as long as he discusses future projects.

    Tell him D-K said "thanks for psychonauts" ... he'll know what it means.

    @D-K, stubbed his toe..*swears*: If I remember it and have this post open at the time I will. I've convinced myself to get Skype credit as soon as I get home this evening and get involved, it's too good of an opportunity to turn down really. Plus I have one or two questions of my own besides just phoning in to say thanks for all the awesome games.

    @D-K, stubbed his toe..*swears*: I could have, if something wasn't (predictably) wrong on my end of Skype and I either didn't make it on, or did make it on, didn't know that I did, stayed silent and was passed over. My call was screened anyway and at least I know for again. Again being next week when hopefully there'll be a good few interesting topics that I could break ground on.

    Seems like it's putting the cart before the horse to start promoting DLC for a game that needs a myriad of technical issues addressed for online play. Matchmaking and the network code is horribly broken. A little latency makes the game unbearable. No excuse for not including client-side prediction to smooth things out. Why are guitar solos so affected by lag? If this were my game, I'd be ashamed to release it so half-functional. #brutallegend

    @Grandleon: I assume you're on PS3? The 360 version usually runs smooth as silk for me. Rarely ever have lag issues, disconnects, never crashes. Impressive really.

    But I agree about the guitar solos. In the rare game I do have massive lag, pulling off guitar solos, is a bitch. Lag should never affect a guitar solo, as it hugely affects gameplay haveing to retry a solo 5 times in a row. #brutallegend

    I doubt Sony is paying anyone anything for brutal legend dlc. I don't think enough people care quite frankly.

    It has taken awhile, but the differences in strength between the 360 and ps3 are beginning to become more evident. Getting harder and harder to justify those xbl subscriptions. Its like MS were the only people on the block selling lemonade, but now a stand across the street is selling the same shit for free... #brutallegend

    @ShaughnTr0n: Lemme ask you something. What is the point of having facebook and twitter on xbl? Seriously. I can turn my body and grab my phone, or turn a little more and use my computer. Offering social networking that is already everywhere is not an innovation to pay for. Period.

    What's gonna be the justification in a few weeks when we get Netflix. Do you LIKE paying to access last.fm on your xbox?

    @Azures: Holy shit, 6 new replies. My point was completely missed here. Too much fanboy love for me to even reply to any of this anymore.

    The fact is, i don't mind paying for it. If you guys are that uptight about your cash, for a reliable online gaming service, then you can enjoy your Ps3's. I, however, will enjoy chatting with all my friends, and will continue to do so. #brutallegend

    If it were more missions I'd be hard-pressed to say no to the DLC, but in no way am I ever going to pay for more maps to one of the worst multiplayer components ever. I wouldn't even download this if I had the PS3 version. #brutallegend

    Yeah, even though it's free. The multiplayer mode is such garbage that I wouldn't waste the storage space on it. I love the game, but the non-RTS-that-is-really-an-RTS element really annoyed me. #brutallegend

    @dreamfall: If I'm honest I didn't care for most of the gameplay, particularly the repetitive sub missions. I honestly don't think gameplay is a staple of Shafer's games, his earlier (and arguably best) work was on point and click adventures which are fairly easy to make. Even Psychonauts was relatively simple and unpolished now I think about it. I'd still say his games are good, just not for the gameplay. Brutal Legend was no exception. #brutallegend

    @JJKujo: I own both 360 and PS3. It is things like this that DO tip which game I pick up. I grabbed Arkham Asylum for PS3 over 360 because of the bonus Joker levels, and the entire game looked/ran equally well on both consoles.

    So yes, it can change purchasing decisions. It is the beauty of owning both systems-- you get the best of both gaming worlds. #brutallegend
