I'm Strummer521 (as in Joe). Please, somebody, add me. I'm so alone.

Yeah, it wasn't meant as a burn so much as an observation.

Exactly, Chris Remo. I'm aiming for archetypal stuff. Exactly. also: you forgot: "Let's do this." "it's game time" and "let's kick some ass." maybe even... "time to take out the trash."

"Who be you?" Castlevania: Symphony of the Night "Hey! What was that noise? Whose footprints are these?" Metal Gear Solid ARE YOU READY FOR...NFL BLITZ!!! NFL Blitz "BOOM SHOCK-A-LOCKA" "What a Debacle" Some WWF game for SNES "Revive me!" "Die Hominid." Gears of War 2 "We're ready and waiting for you." One of the Ridge Racer games for the PSX "I remember you; you're mean." Fallout 3

If it costs exactly what it's worth, I don't see a problem, silly.

Oh. Phew! This whole time I was thinking, "I'm reading this guy's posts and he doesn't seem as crazy as he did talking about the 360. Maybe he just quit doing meth."

Is it just me, or do all the woman in this game have the exact same face? It has a dehumanizing quality and makes me feel sociopathic because they're all objects to me and I don't mind killing them. I want to link to a blog post I did about my early Fallout impressions, because I have had a lot of trouble getting "into" this game and I'd like some advice on how I might be able to appreciate it more. Yes, the blog has only one post. I was planning to write more posts before I told anyone that the blog existed, but I figure a link is less obnoxious than quoting the whole thing right here. http://digsmi.blogspot.com/ Please sucessfully change my mind if you can; I feel left out, but for whatever reason, the game just hasn't clicked with me.

You mean you didn't get the unrated National Lampoon edition? The deleted scenes in that puppy are limbtastic. Or limbrific. "Naked lady killing" is a funny phrase, I picture Leslie Neilsen walking around naked and lady-killin', as in: impressin' the ladies a whole bunch. Think about it. It has to be Leslie Neilsen. It does.

Ok. The ghostly spectral dudes that move toward me really quickly and then dissapear...am I supposed to shoot them? I played for a while without the flashlight and that was intense (I can see; I can't see; I can; I can't; Oh God!!!), but I quickly ran out of stuff to shoot, and then just found myself wandering around a messy high school looking at blocked off doors.

Your voice is fantastic, Jake. You talk like a friendly monster or a cartoon character. You're my favorite on the show. It's like someone took the definition of entertainment, and built a mind and a voice out of it.

Is that because you make the game equivalent of that stuff?

Wow. The guy that wrote the email is here...awkward...

I'd say so.

You gotta fight for your right to party.

The Groucho likes indie games, because most of them run on his laptop.

It's good vs. evil...just like Star Wars, and 70 percent of all the stories ever created.

That looks cool, Thrik; thanks for the link. It could be just a cheap cash-in and the full armor thing seems kinda dumb; but, I like the fact that they're trying to keep the "sense of wonder" thing going by creating an environment with more mystery and weird little details than any of the core game's locales.

What about "thumbcry2.com"?

Two questions: not rhetorical. I don't know things. 1. How much farther can the technology go? Will they hit a plateau where there's no improvements left that would be substantial enough to justify everyone buying a new system? 1b. If that does happen, do you think they'll just screw us by putting out a new system anyway and counting on the fact that we'll have to buy it for the new games (you know you will). 2. Could there come a time when consoles are no longer financially viable, because the costs of the hardware are too high to remain within the reach of the consumer base? I think that's already a consideration; hence, the different versions of the xbox (arcade anyone?) and the fact that no one is fucking buying the PS3.

I'm totally down with that concept, Chris. I wish every movie didn't get pre-screened by the critics. Of course, every studio would have to stop it simultaneously. Otherwise they look like the douchebags who don't want people to find out how lame their movie is. I think another part of the problem is that so many movies are just bullshit rehashes that they can't make previews that show us one striking image and arouse our curiousity...because they don't have any striking images in the whole film.

And Solid Snake has social anxiety. That's why he always hides from people.

You always have to put your +10 chainmail on when you join a new forum.

I'm thinking of trading this in after I get the castle. But what has been released for the 360 in the past couple months that's actually worth getting. I loved the demo for Sonic Unleashed...but it got horrible reviews across the board. I'm going to buy it eventually no matter what because I think the mechanics are solid and they managed to capture the classic sense of speed in the new format of 3D environments. Maybe I'm just missing what everyone is complaining about because I haven't played any of the previous 3D Sonic games. I do like the fact that the game doesn't reset itself after you finish the main quest...so you can keep going with everything as it was. But there isn't much to do. They even stop having sales in the shops, permanently. Screw it, I think I'm gonna hold onto it and wait for the DLC. Gah! I sound like a parody of a 15 year old commenting on gamespot, in this post. PS...Did anyone get the dreadlocks?

Did anyone else think the time you spent as a guard at the spire was a pretty awesome little interlude? Something about it vaguely made it feel, to me, like a Bioware game (maybe that's just because the guy who's in charge of you looks like a powdery Darth Maul). And I can't remember the last time a game moved from one section to the next by basically saying "Ten Years Later..."

Hi thumbsters (sorry). I used to play games. Then I stopped for a while. But then I read a forum post somewhere about the top 100 things that piss you off about video games and I got the feeling I wanted to be a part of that weird collective of all the gamers in the world. It's given me reasons to get excited which was pretty rare in the past, so I dig it. I just finished Fable II. It was a video game.
