  1. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    My last orb. The stupid one off the ramp floating way up in the air. Can't get it And it pisses me off that everytime I hit the ramp it pulls the car hard to the right so I have to hit it from these weird angles.
  2. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    Has anyone managed to get the Take Flight, Brave Raptors achievement? The best I've managed is 15 seconds, I can't imagine doubling it. Also, I totally just nailed a raptor with an egg. To my disappointment, there was no special bonus points for that. Still no idea what they do, unless it's "just an easter egg."

  4. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    None from me. I've been getting glitches too, but more of the: "car got stuck on a crate when I was trying to export three raptors" and "raptor stuck under the car's wheels" and "crashed so hard it rebooted windows" variety. The last one was especially worrying. My install is pretty stable so to have the whole computer just REBOOT -- not slow down, not blue screen, not freeze up -- was, um, bad. It gave me flashbacks to the time when I tried to plug-in an mp3 player into a usb slot and there was a static discharge and the computer went down in an instant. Cost me a grand to fix. Luckily, this time it came back to life so it's not so bad. But it's annoying because I was in the middle of a good game. Anyway, yeah, no objections.
  5. "Anonymous" declares war on Scientology

    Yeah, other protests were more... interesting.
  6. "Anonymous" declares war on Scientology

    anon in NZ.jpg"]This is exactly how I pictured Anonymous members to look like. I'm glad reality matched my worst nightmares in this case.
  7. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    FOILED AGAIN. The competition is starting to heat up now.
  8. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    A pteranodon, from the Late Cretaceous (Coniacian-Campanian, 89.3-70.6 million years ago) of North America (Kansas, Alabama, Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota) was one of the largest pterosaur genera, with a wingspan of up to 9 m (30 ft). There's a couple or so flying around the place. Kinda hard to kill, as the leaderboard shows.
  9. Got $6million spare?

    Neither. I just think it's fucking hideous, were it 6 million or 6 thousand.
  10. Off-Road Velociraptor Safari

    BOOYA Managed to get totally lucky and killed a Pteranodon. :tup:
  11. GTA IV

    Yeah. I preferred Vice City too and it's the only one of the GTAs that I played to "completion". I think they just tried to do too much with SA and it became this overwhelming, daunting thing.
  12. Got $6million spare?

    Money can't buy good taste.

  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    Nothing says "Valentine's Day" quite like a film about a hateful, bitter greedy man matching wits against a deluded, self-important greedy man. My kinda girl.
  15. Guitar Hero IV "this year"

    Well, to their credit they're doing exactly what they said they'll do when they merged with VU. http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2007/12/03/activision-blizzard-update-world-of-warcraft-financials-revealed/ They wanted to be the new EA and now they are, and they're shit for it.
  16. Where's me present then?

    You get jack shit cause you missed my birthday three days ago you insensitive clod HBD, have some cock candles
  17. Mass Effect

    I picked it up yesterday despite the big, orange text on the top of the box saying "DO NOT SELL BEFORE NOVEMBER 20" -- the street date was broken a week ago so, I guess, everyone is selling it now. Played a couple of hours in and so far, so alright! My very first impression was not a good one. On the initial mission where you learn how to play the game, after the first battle against some battle droids I got completely lost. The game had no waypoint marker (kind of stupid when you're introducing people) and after a cinematic I was left facing the wrong direction. That was the route I took and all I could find was dead ends and a "treasure chest". That little treasure pickup threw me off because it made me think I was progressing. After several minutes of I went back to where I came from and realized that it was where I needed to go. Stupid lack of landmarks. After that things improved. So far the combat has been limited, but it's interesting. Definitely feels like a cross between Gears of War and an RPG. I never played KOTOR, but I did play Jade Empire and I hated the combat in that enough to get me to stop playing after the first boss encounter. Here, I am compelled enough to want to see more of it so that I can play around with the different abilities and weapons. Still too early in the story to comment on it. The dialogue options are kind of interesting so far, the voice acting is competent and the writing is decent enough. Will have to see how that develops though. One thing that is obvious early on, though, is how this game looks. It's gorgeous (texture pop-in and semi-awkward animations notwithstanding). The designs are very good, even if a lot of the art direction feels very familiar (seems to borrow a lot of cliche sci-fi conventions that have been overdone in a lot of films before). Still, in a game like this it does come across as a little fresh. Looking forward to playing more! Oh, and the soundtrack so far is totally :tup: :tup:
  18. "Anonymous" declares war on Scientology

    If by "hackers" you mean people that post animated gifs and hentai pictures up on 4chan all the time, then you are under the correct impression. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxWgRY1I_SI Watch out or they'll BLOW UP A VAN.
  19. Rez HD

    I was wondering about this too. Thanks. I beat level 1 with a Tera-form boss yesterday, but like an idiot I accidentally wasn't in "Time Attack" mode. Would have been #1 on my friends' list. But still, it's nice to see an improvement in play. Still a long way to go to 100% stage 5 though.
  20. I guess this is kinda useful since I dig this album (and by pure chance, I was listening to My Downfall on iTunes at work right when I opened this forum). But what I'd like to know more about is these Hungarian girls.
  21. Who would you vote for?

    Would what? On second thought, I don't want to know.
  22. Guitar Hero IV "this year"

    Hopefully they will fix the suck. And who needs downloadable music to extend the life of a music game when you can push new peripherals and overpriced discs at everyone. There was a time when music/rhythm games were wonderfully fresh. It's starting to feel stale now.

  24. No, I'll restart my computer later

    But I need to keep those torrents active so that I can destroy the music industry too. Priorities, man.
