  3. Vin Diesel brings Agent 47 to life

    Vin Diesel can act? He's an actor?!!! Nobody ever told me that.
  4. Okay, fellas, our hot Ladyludens needs a quite a break. At the same time, I figured it was finally time to separate the men from the gamerboys, you know who you are. Those males here who choose not to post their proposals will automatically be considered 'gay' - that is, scared-ass puss wusses who could never get it up even if a hot studchick like Mistress Ruse were polygonized in French crotchless panties before them, because they do not possess that godlike quality, that "I-don't-know-what" in French. And no pr0nographic trash, we're dealing with a lady here! I'll start: Yufster, I want to use this on you, lightly touch your back with it....your neck, your arms, as you play ICO in your white silk kimono which I slowly, ceremoniously slip off your body... :
  5. Your Console Story! Or how I ended up with a Sega Genesis.

    It was Christmas season, December 1999, and my niece (college age) and I were shopping. I knew she owned a Playstation, but myself was not a gamer at the time. We went to F.A.O. Schwartz and poked around. There was a big promotion for Toy Story and these guys dressed as wooden soldiers were walking around showing off the various stuffed toy versions of the characters from the movie. One of them, some college jock type, had the cowboy one, and he passed by us and said out loud, "LOOK!! I GOT WOODY!!" Geri and I burst out laughing and moved on, the jock staring at us (I don't know if he ever got it). Anyway, we went up to the second floor (or was it third, I forget) where they had the electronic toys and games and she vanished. I found her soon after, sampling the Playstation, a snowmobile game. I said, "Hey, c'mon, we gotta go......wait, lemme try that." I was pathetically hooked. But the console was too expensive, so we went to a nearby Toys R Us and I found it for $99. I bought it with a copy of Silent Hill and Test Drive Off Road 4x4. The Off Road game was boring after a while, but I ended up playing Silent Hill every single evening, in the dark, with headphones turned up.
  6. Vin Diesel brings Agent 47 to life

    Ah, Jason Statham. He's nice, yes. I think he'd look more dashingly deadly in a black suit and red tie than Vin Diesel ever could.
  7. Vin Diesel brings Agent 47 to life

    Vin Diesel? Yech, gross. They cast him only 'cause he's bald, right? Yeah, I like him well enough, but I cannot picture him as the elegant silent deadly type. No no no no no. I always thought the Hitman series to be all about elegance and style. Vin Diesel is NOT elegant, and he has style but I don't think it's at all suited for Hitman movies.
  8. Tough customers

    Don't forget that your kids will be diagnosed as obese at age 8 with type 2 diabetes because of the culture of shit (otherwise known as junk food and no excercise) they're being raised in. Oh, wait, that's also happening in many other parts of the world.

    Try harder next time, hon.
  10. Tell Us About Yourself

    Wow, Catullus, thanks for the sweet words!! And coming from a real journalist (that is, a reporter, someone who has much experience), that's very warming. Welcome to the Thumb!! As for other gaming sites, I kinda agree. One of my favourites of yore was Salon.com with James Wagner Au. He has an excellent take on his games writing, going beyond the subculture of the hardcores and into its being a true cultural force in the 21st century. I love that. I also love The Adrenaline Vault, particularly the reviews of Bob Mandel and Josh Horowitz, but really the whole bunch of them. I like the more composed maturity of AVault.
  11. Nerd Shirts

    You're welcome, dear. I've since changed (just took a shower), but I was wearing it actually with slouchy cargo shorts. I usually wear my t-shirts with such shorts or bootcut jeans. I think if it were a slim sleeveless t-shirt I'd wear my straight leg jeans with the very high roll-up cuffs.
  12. Nerd Shirts

    As a rule I never wear clothes that blatantly advertise things. I am not a walking billboard, unless they pay me. But I will wear something with a logo if I love the sheer design of it - aesthetics over commerce for me. Right now I'm wearing a nice pea green t-shirt I bought at H&M (for only $13!) that has a huge script font on the chest saying 'Clayton Grove', whatever the hell that means. I love this shirt because of the design, and it fits me beautifully, slim (not tight) and comfy - a well tailored t-shirt. I do like graphics on clothes, but only if they work with the overall design of the clothing. I plan on getting a couple Psychonauts t-shirts - because I love the design, not because I want to advertise their products (with all due respect, fuck you double fine! I love you but on my own terms ).
  13. Ronald McDonald Extreme!!

    Yes, his name was Hamburglar. He would run around in t.v. commercials mumbling: "Rubble rubble!!"
  14. Favorite Psychonauts level

    I didn't vote because it only allows one choice, but: The Campgrounds - It was complex, expansive, and the hidden items were wonderfully challenging to find. I loved that many of them can only be had once you had specific psi powers. Milla's Dance Party - I was in absolute disco heaven. Especially when I saw the Raz dance for the first time. It's one of the most original, enveloping levels I experienced in gamedom. And the 'forbidden room' was brilliant, a very dark little spot in an otherwise irreverent, hedonistic mental world. Velvetopia - Beautifully creative and deep in terms of exploration. The paintings to purchase are a craftily nice touch. I still haven't reached Meat Circus yet, so am bracing myself for its perceived difficulty.
  15. Survivor, bad taste at its best

    Oops! When I saw the title of thread I thought it was from Tanukitsune. My bad.
  16. I think you actually WANT to always buy crappy games. Kinda like people who are drawn to really bad art or French provincial furniture.

    Go to bed, hon. It's late.
  18. The official How Would You Seduce Yufster? thread!

    I thought this was a contest of seduction. Now you're saying it's one of who can cause the most damage with their fart?

    She's bluffing, man.

    I am a grieving widow, myself.

    happy birthday, pretty girl!
  22. Dreamfall

    The trailer was designed specifically for hardcore adventure gamers. (I'm soooo mean)
  23. Dreamfall

    Okay, so what would you deem 'interesting'? What would you like to see in a trailer?

    You know what I meant, Chris.
