  1. My Computer Broke!

    oh right... the fucked up cursor keys confused me...
  2. Recently completed video games

    Just finished Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. I liked it. But the whole aiming and shooting is terrible, a mouse it much better. I wish the game had more adventuring it. It's now pretty much moving onwards to the next prepared battle field. It's just like GoW and Mass Effect 2, you can see that you are about to be attacked because there are all these half height walls in an area. It's a shame so many bonus things are locked behind getting achievements. I love watching making-of and concept art stuff. And it would be great if that stuff is unlocked after completing a relevant segment of the game, rather than buy collecting hidden treasures and getting achievements for killing X people with weapon Y.

    well, at least you're not something-8, because you're missing that key
  4. Mass Effect 2

    Didn't mean it like that, although Cerberus might be "too big to fail" I was more thinking along the line of an attach on Cerberus to by the Alliance to get rid of them. Most employees of Cerberus are motivated by their paycheck.

    that picture doesn't make sense... how can there be dust on the side of the case
  6. Mass Effect 2

    And to rent all those mercenaries of which I'm not going to use half of them? And if Cerberus is so broke, then why doesn't the alliance take over? Mass plot hole.
  7. Mass Effect 2

    So, Sheppard is working for this extremely rich and powerful company. Then why do I have to pillage planets for resources, and why do I have to bother with credits and stores? The planet missions in ME1 were much better than the planet probing in ME2. It's really tedious.
  8. Life

    When you call tech support you should always ask if they can skip right to box #12 of their flowchart/workflow. Why 12 you ask? That was so far the most successful number. 25 didn't work at all, 10 was completely misunderstood. Wit 13 the person got annoyed. And 12 has worked twice so far.
  9. General Video Game Deals Thread

    No, there was something wrong with the store I tried to buy it from. And Far Cry 2 on steam is still more expensive than in retail.
  10. Should I do it?

    I logged in with my own account ... wee...
  11. Mass Effect 2

    Guess not, I've only picked up the 3 crew mates on Omega
  12. Books, books, books...

    I remember playing The Running Man as a teenager and enjoying it...
  13. Mass Effect 2

    I miss the musical atmosphere in ME2. One thing I really like is the room of the illusive man.
  14. Mass Effect 2

    hmmm... the new planet missions are even more tedious
  15. Mass Effect 2

    Interesting to see people blame the UnrealEngine3 for this. Maybe it was a bug in the engine for a short while, or Bioware simply screwed up. Because I haven't had this issue in any UnrealEngine3 version I messed around with. It's really a weird bug, considering you just disable and then enable cores for a processor during the game, and it goes away. Must be some weird combination between UE3's loading mechanism and Bink playback considering the streamed loading within levels is pretty much instantly for me. Anyway, this workaround is very welcome as I became quite frustrated yesterday because I had to reload a save game quite often in a short period because I was at a difficult point in the game and died too often.
  16. Mass Effect 2

    wtf... chaning the loading movie and setting process affinity to 1 reduces the load time like ten fold
  17. Mass Effect 2

    On my PC loading goes quite well. Also, the incremental loading is barely noticeable. In some cases when you open a door it takes a fraction of a second. But loading on the normady is horrible, it takes ages.

  19. General Video Game Deals Thread

    why don't you buy the $ version... it says it's available worldwide
  20. Should I do it?

    I see you're jumping right on it... much like your avatar Avatars are like pets, you start to look like them as time passes
  21. General Video Game Deals Thread

    No, I played "Culture Shock".
  22. Should I do it?

    You should play games instead. That's what I do when I'm not at work. Or watching movies, or watching series.
  23. Bargains

    Pff... I think both gangs sucks. In fact, I think the whole concept of gangs terrible. Who wants to the join the anti-gang gang?
