    Well, you have been pretty abusive lately. You've even acknowledged it, too; Complaining that those who were offended were taking you too seriously... It's not what I would normally associate with you, however. It was a playful way of pointing out that Patters was being abusive.

    But we already have one of those... Oh, uh. I mean. Oops. Forget I said anything.

    Ah. I see what you're saying now. Of course, she was flawed, too... she had serious disabilities, but I get you're point. If you don't like things like that, then you've got to avoid sci-fi... Even a show like Firefly which is renowned for being almost "anti" sci-fi. (No lasers, no discussions about technology, just people and their lives.) Die Hard is a great example of "one man versus the world" done really well.

    What an average day on the Enterprise was really like... vs2l38DoqsQ

    It could still be improved though. The dialogue is good... but the characters they come up with are hackneyed, and the plots are predictable (especially when they try to be shocking).

    Bah. I don't think anyone minds... We're all friends here.

    Yeah, I get removing the links... but quoting them? If we were doing it all the time, but there's tons of fresh non-spammy content every day,

    Damn you all

    Surely that's too much glitter for one cake...

    You are added... Everybody beats Jake. Lol! Also, I figured out why I'm enjoying achievements so much, lately. As I can't afford to buy new games, they're breathing new life into old ones for me. Much fun!

  18. Recently completed video games

    I finally got the SMILE achievement on Geometry Wars 2: War Harder... but I can't get the one that everyone else seems to find easy: TREATY. Annoying. I also finally got around to completing Brutal Legend 100%. Still plenty of achievements to get, but they seem pretty fun.
  19. Recently completed video games

    Yep. I didn't like the 360 degree camera, myself. I tended to get lost.
  20. GTA V

    We should all apply for parts.

    I heard so much hype surrounding MGS3, but I hated it... It was too different. Maybe I'll give it another go one day.

    Interesting! Strange that you should consider that "nerd-pandering", when really it was just a character who happened to be a woman. She wasn't a dominatrix in a sexy BDSM outfit (see The Matrix, Terminator 3, etc.). She was just a woman. It's especially interesting to me because your description of Serenity is precisely why I avoided Buffy for so long. I presumed the whole idea of the show was for teenage males to drool over watching Sarah Michelle Gellar kick-ass in skimpy outfits... When it turned out to almost be the exact opposite of that (it was actually about her as a person and the stuff she went through), I was shocked to say the least. Still, thanks for explaining that.
  23. Brütal Legend overload...!

    There's a shitload of press coverage on Brütal Legend at the moment, and I have to say it's made me even more excited to actually play this game. http://www.doublefine.com/news.php/headlines Including a video interview with man himself: http://www.gry-online.pl/S014.asp?ID=362 Favourite quote: "I wasn't sure what to expect from Brütal Legend, but what I did not expect was that it would be a cross between Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Pikmin." No kidding... but I'm very intrigued!
  24. Brütal Legend overload...!

    I honestly don't know. It's the only game, in the history of a long gaming career, that's ever made me feel that way. Turning off all sound (including music) helped. I noticed that it seemed to be worse in the final part of the game, but maybe that's because I spent a lot of time there. Not sure. The music definitely made me feel worse, though. I would click NEXT waiting for a song that didn't aggravate my nausea, but all of them made me feel ill. By the time I turned the sound off, it would be too late. Even hearing the incidental music would make me feel bad. So I think possibly it was all just too much and I felt overwhelmed. A weird combination of frame rates and detailed environments, or something. I'm glad I never experienced it in Psychonauts, though. That was a great world to hang out in, and it's only since playing BL with the sound off that I've realised how it was affecting my enjoyment of the game world... It really wasn't fun for me to hang out in. With the sound off from the beginning, it's not 100% gone, but it's definitely better. Strange stuff. You should move to LA.
