  1. Mass Effect 2

    Yikes... this is just embarassing. It's exactly the kind of drivel Hollywood made with their perception of what/who Tank Girl should be.
  2. G20 - Police use tear gas,, sound cannons

    I think I agree with anything political thing you have ever said on this board. This kind of stuff makes me upset and filled with fear. It makes me think I should start looking towards migrating to another country quickly. I have a few plans to leave the US in the future, but I imagine it will take a decade or so of savings and making myself a worthwhile artist for importing.
  3. Idle Thumbs 44: Salacious Thumb

    I had no god damn idea what this Salacious Crumb nonsense was and I still don't. I'm okay with that.
  4. If you thought the Saitek Cyborg was crazy...

    Beige is way out man. Way out.
  5. Recently completed video games

    When are they releasing Pikmin 2 on Wii with the new controls in the US like they already did in Europe last April? I will be very grumpy if that does not come here.
  6. Scribblenauts review up!

    Try the microwave next time.
  7. Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story

    Yeah, Minish Cap was the most gorgeous 2D Zelda game I've ever seen. I was actually surprised that the GBA could display those kind of graphics for whatever reason even though it probably wasn't pushing the handheld system all that much. I own the first M&L game though and have yet to start it, so I'm not authorized to post in this thread. I've been trying to play all the Mario related Nintendo games in order for years now and I'm currently stuck in 1994 on Donkey Kong for Game Boy.
  8. Guitar Zero

    Maybe Activision paid 1up a bunch of money to help their metacritic score?
  9. Idle Thumbs 43: Jeff "Gone" Goldblum

    Yeah, games are really starting to stress me out.
  10. Idle Thumbs 43: Jeff "Gone" Goldblum

    Yes, this is why they have so many Ubisoft ports, including some Rayman games that play like Sonic for whatever fucking reason with the limbless guy rolling into a spinball. Also, not being a Nirvana fan, I wasn't really offended by Kurt Cobain's likeness being used, but I was very offended by the crass commercialism of it all. Even seeing those stupid looking avatars on stage with him made me shudder. Johnny Cash is making Guiter Hero 5 too, I hear. Being a Public Enemy fan, I'm very offended by that awful Bring the Noise remix that will appear as exclusive to the game. I can't believe how terrible those screeching guitars were. They could have at least used the Anthrax version if they needed something with guitars. I guess it's not up to Chuck D though, since he doesn't have the ownership or publishing rights to any of those songs he did during the Def Jam era.
  11. Idle Thumbs 39

    Sounds like a pachinko game. My dad had a pachinko game. He still does. PACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKOPACHINKO
  12. Monkey Island 1 special edition coming to XBLA

    Ah, well then, hooray! (The violin players are the text only ones that don't play games with graphics.)
  13. Brütal Legend overload...!

    Hahah, I enjoyed that shitty band. It's good to let out a shared groan with other fans.
  14. Monkey Island 1 special edition coming to XBLA

    I vaguely remember something about that guy at AG, but apparently he was banned like me for bad behavior. Not that I'm saying in any way that I acted like a good person on those forums or can vouch for whatever happened with BacardiJim (search doesn't seem to show anything)... er... Anyways, I don't remember what he was like. I'm imagining Randy Sluganski from JustAdventure with a shiny forehead, loving bad web design, and ready to give a 9/10 to anything that comes out in the genre. This is probably inaccurate.
  15. But... there's Soulseek?
  16. Look what Kanye did! (Mildly amusing.)

    El Muerte wins the thread, I'd say.
  17. Movie/TV recommendations

    RE A DROP OF GOLDEN SUN

    I'm now going to flood the thread with the huge word list it recognizes. You guys should collect screenshots of every item and post them.

  19. New people: Read this, say hi.

    I'LL TMEH YOUR BOWELS
  20. New people: Read this, say hi.

    TUP!
  21. The Bat Man

    Haha... I've personally always suspected "knowingly" on that one.
  22. Another backlog thread

    Oh my goodness, I can't even begin here. I have such a long list and it doesn't even take into account games I really would love to try but that I am avoiding at the moment in fear of inflating my backlog even more. For now, here's my "to finish" SNES games, which is the current console I'm stuck on: Earthbound Kirby's Dream Course Prince of Persia Michael Jordan's Chaos in the Windy City Alien 3 Lost Vikings II Mario RPG Kirby 3 Tetris Attack
  23. WadjetEye Games 50% off everything! This weekend only!

    I'd say these two series get really close and even tend to top a typical LucasArts background or animation many times, especially the earlier of both series and compared to the earlier of LucasArts, but in terms of constant quality throughout the years in terms of graphics, animation, and general creativity with good design, I don't think anyone had LucasArts topped.
  24. New people: Read this, say hi.

    Haha, I guess Kingzjester had a rant about them in a thread elsewhere a month or so ago so I figured it was a vast conspiracy theory against the thumbs. I don't think anyone but us old farts miss them and those that used them to rate games they were currently playing in their signature.
  25. New people: Read this, say hi.

    I'm starting to think there's some kind of deliberate behind-the-scenes reason they are missing...
