Donutta's discussions

@Zhris: Actually, last I checked, there's an interesting issue that happens with PAL PS3s running in SDTV. They automatically default to 50Hz, and there is no way to set them to 60Hz. That's a pretty big step backwards, even for someone who is a SDTV apologist like me. Read more

@Morte: Maybe purely from an American viewpoint is a bit of a blanket statement, but you have to admit that it's rare to see anyone but an American ever claim that people shouldn't be so cheap. Even Canadians bitch about what they have to pay. Read more

@M1911: Yup, just keep proving those stereotypes, buddy. You're a wonderful ambassador for your country. Read more

@M1911: You don't really read, do you? Read more

@M1911: Cool American store, bro. Read more

@CHunterX: Dude, have you not picked up on the fact I don't live in America? Or are you one of those people that forgets there's a "rest of the world". Read more

@CHunterX: No, she doesn't have a PC monitor. (Laptop, before you question it.) So even getting the VGA adapter (at a cost of US$40 here), she'd still have to shell out, at the very least, another US$240 for a monitor. Read more

@qman46: They stopped doing that a while ago. I was actually surprised when I got my Elite and it only had AV cables. I had to ninja the HDMI cable from my PS3 just so I could play it. Read more

@fauxbravo: Yeah, I love how everyone's like "Oh yeah, $600 is no big deal." It's also purely from an American viewpoint. A 37" 1080p HDTV where I live is about US$900 during specials, and can be as much as US$1200 when not on special. It's ridiculous that some people can be so indignant about people not wanting to… Read more

While this doesn't affect me, it does affect my sister. She saved for ages to get the collector's edition as Mass Effect is her favourite game, and now she can't play it because she can't read the text. Read more

It's an interesting choice. I don't follow UFC (or MMA in general) so I don't know who is in it, but I recognise Lesnar from his days in the WWE. (Didn't he say he was leaving to play grid iron?) So in a way, this gives it some name recognition for someone who is a complete outsider to the sport. Read more

@kftgr: Yeah, because lord knows no gamer plays any game older than 6 months old. Read more

Yeah, I'm going to call bullshit on this one. They charge you for P2P and then they'll pull it when they feel like forced obsolence? Fuck 'em. I was happy with the fact I could still access Xbox LIVE while playing Fable (over and over and over again). Read more

Although Shepard's romances are more realistic in this one, I can't help but feel Shep is a slut who will throw herself at anyone with a pulse. Read more

@josephmeraz: Interesting. I really loved the bosses in Rush. Read more

I'm not sure how to feel. Should I be glad that they acknowledged Sonic Rush (the BEST Sonic game)? Or should I be offended that they put it in the same situation as Sonic and the Black Knight? Read more

@Guts4: Dunno, PAL gamer. Square never blessed me with the presence of a Final Fantasy game before VII. ;) Read more

And Mass Effect 2 comes on two discs, and people are already calling that GOTY. Why is this an issue again? Read more

@kimarimonku: Yeah, when I was a kid I played video games (obviously), but I also got out and did a fair amount of other activities. Read more

@HowIsYourFlat: Anyone who has actually played it (and who is being honest) will tell you that Mass Effect 2 is not an RPG. No more so that GTA IV is an RPG anyway... Read more
