    Nope. Sunshine was fantastic, as well as being better than 64 by a long way.
  2. Minecraft

    Server's having a little trouble, rights are being fixed by one Doug Tabacco.
  3. Books, books, books...

    Kevin Smith's Green Hornet and the Marvel Noir series (particularly daredevil).
  4. (IGN.com)

    There's a third.
  5. (IGN.com)

    I fucking love bandwagons.
  6. Osmos

    damn this game is great, hard as hell though, there is a gret deal on it from GFWL for £2.50, it has achievements. Apparently not many people have bought it from them yet though with only 2 other Giant bomb users having the GFWL version.
  7. I'm not sure of the exact time-line But I have more distinct memories of playing Rogue Squadron before I was struck by other Star Wars Films. I think I may have seen A New Hope before but didn't see them until later. Actually looking back I must have played it after seeing 4 and 1 seeing as I got it with my second n64 (handed down from my uncle) as I had DK64 on the first console. They didn't make an impression until I had the films on VHS though. The prequels are dreadful. I'm actually reading Metro 2033 right now, I enjoyed the atmosphere so much in the early game that I decided to read it before playing it. Yeah, The Witcher is a continuation of a series of books. Hence why a lot of the characters know Geralt. It's a pretty big series in Eastern Europe, apparently.
  8. You could probably throw DnD based games here too. Also I did the same as Chris, I played Rogue Squadron before I saw the movies, I haven't seen them in ages actually, maybe I should do that.
  9. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    Q65YBqfwKpU Another album I want now.
  10. Yes, yes and so does the Witcher.
  11. Portal 2

    You wouldn't be, unless you use a bizarre control scheme.
  12. Starcraft II

    I bought a US Key recently so I can play with a bunch of US dudes. US Patters 680 EU Patters 809
  13. Digital distribution doesn't have stock, whereas a company selling physical copies may have ordered too many copies compared to the demand and due to this are lacking shelf space. So physical retailers will decrease the price drastically, sometimes to the point where they are making very little to no profit, so they can get newer and higher demand products to sell. I also completely disagree with your position on "niche" games as would my friend Mr. PC.
  14. Nintendo 3DS

    It really is, more than 22 million copies sold.
  15. Portal 2

    No, but the steam copy will probably be cheaper.
  16. Portal 2

    I don't know if there would have been money changing hands here, if anything I would probably expect that Sony just went ahead an said to Valve, if you put Portal 2 on the PS3 you can do whatever you want with our system, or maybe it's a test to see if a Steam model can work for retail console games, with the PC version of Portal 2 included I expect that the game won't be able to be sold pre-owned and will be tied to one's PSN/Steam account. Publishers are clearly pushing for a Steam style system with the various project ten dollars coming from major publishers. Whatever it is, it's an interesting move to say the least.

    IloMilo, it's really quite fun.
  18. Movie/TV recommendations

    You forgot the most important thing: Kevin Smith's version is much better.
  19. Minecraft

    Doors open keys?
  20. Life

    I can see Sudan being classed as it, but Tunisia is very much not.
  21. Recently completed video games

    DC has no story, the plot to DoW II isn't related to DoW.
  22. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

    mixPxkJswHA From one of the few albums I'm looking forward to this year.
  23. Dawn of War 2

    That's Pirate.
  24. I don't think so, they said they were going to send it for confirmation in March.
