  1. New people: Read this, say hi.

    oh come on, hayden christensen screaming "nooooooooo" is cinematic GOLD! and for spawning the original lucasarts stable, mr lucas will always rock.no matter what transgressions he may make in the interim.
  2. New people: Read this, say hi.

    if i were an ugly bald pirate with an interesting hat i would answer that question with aplomb. but i'm not and as such i can't remember what exactly he says. and i'm not about to internerd up the exact quote. so in conclusion i will say, george lucas (and to a much greater extent his developing minions) ROCKS!!!
  3. GTA IV trailer

    consider me told! at least i got to use the word churlish in a sentence. tomorrow's word of the day is lambast.
  4. Let's go a little deeper. Say Mario and Sonic have a showdown at the end, when they realise tthat their respective egos, bloated with years of coke and willing princesses, are too big to allow the other to survive. So tails and luigi feel compelled to come in and try to sort things out. john leguizamo versus a kindly fox? After this rumble, amy rose and princess peach/daisy partake in a little foxy boxing. when this comes to no end, bowser and knuckles chow down. robotnik and a large ba-bomb play duel at the end. and all of nintendo world lie grieving after all this senseless destruction, until bruce willis emerges from the burning rubble holding a trembling miyamoto. at least that's how i see things panning out.
  5. DS Games

    yeah, i am getting so damn sick of certain games shops who shall remain nameless who charge like 40 euro for pre-owned ds games, i mean the nerve! and won't order in certain games so you have no choice but to buy em second hand. on second thoughts, with such relatively new games alraedy on the pre-owned shelf, you'd think i'd take that as a warning.
  6. New people: Read this, say hi.

    yeah its really weird. i mean, not totally realistic, just creepy. re loom, just too hard for lil me! read this fantastic quote somewhere that said that games should be pleasantly frustrating. if its too frustrating, its not playable. like monkey island used to reduce me to tears when it first came out! now i can play thru a fine lucasarts product in a couple of hours. in conclusion, jo: cleverer now than she was twelve years ago.
  7. GTA IV trailer

    would it be churlish to point out that you prob spent more than 200 quid on your degree???? only teasing. just got back from london, there's a big sign outside hmv's flagship oxford street branch, just a common -or -garden flipchart, with a sign on it, reading "Playstation 3 - still in stock". i think some quiet smugness is in order here.
  8. New people: Read this, say hi.

    I'm new! Not to gaming. I started off my career with an atari when i was lil, my uncle fostered this by giving me his amiga 500 and shit loadsa inappropriate games (how can i ask you about loom???? i'm 10!). Progressed to nintendo consolesand haven't really gone anywhere else, except for lucasarts. oh, and i have a spectrum x lurking somewhere, appreciating. I love games. I don't love games without a sense of humour. I'm intrigued by the idea of uncanny valley. It's like your brain can't handle the disambiguity. Although I came away from Alfred Molina unscathed. Anyone else discomfitted by the fact that they bothered to detail the blackheads on doc oc's face????ewwwww
  9. GTA IV trailer

    wow thats really ambitious! i'm learning japanese too, well trying to, but that's so i can move to tokyo university to research perception in video games. which is what i (try to) do! i've seen clips, love the fact that the graphics haven't changed at all. how playable is it? regardless of language barriers!
  10. GTA IV trailer

    of course i took it from perfect dark! only the n64 version though, i refuse to be affiliated with latterday Joanna. thanks the only gaming sites id go to are nintendo and starmen.net which is the best thing ever, they're translating earthbound 3 but "won't distribute the rom". anyway ,enough marketing. bye!
  11. GTA IV trailer

    I'm new! I don't like EastBloc's face, considering everything else in that trailer is so photoreal (and directly frame for frame from the game. sure).
