Patters

Half way through my exams, My revision load is unrelenting bar exercise and games breaks. I've managed to go through a 160 page pad in about a week, I have so much paper scattered around my room, it's ridiculous.

Happy Birthday Hermie!

Dawn of War 2 Gold for £20, you should probably buy it http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4026/

Fixed.

I have one also.

I agree, cataloguing memes and comical occurrence is a pointless endeavour. It's always better for them to be rediscovered naturally.

opposed to almost every other game that gives you a binary choice, which affects very little. The system in the game reminds me of Fable's there are a load of little side things which affect how the world perceives the player's character.

Yeah from stuff I have heard the 360 release is superior, though both are enjoyable. Anyone up for a game sometime this weekend?

I really love the soundtrack, along with the foley stuff it's pretty much perfect.

Don't get me wrong, the multiplayer is fun, it just doesn't seem that it will have the longevity of something like GTA, Forza, Halo, L4D, etc.

With GTA4, at least there was a reasonable layer of customisation.

There are some really fucking stupid decisions which thinking about annoys me. Not being able to specify a game is idiotic. Say we wanted to start playing fire bomb matches, in the same way we play rocket matches on GTA, then not only that we cannot specify where we fight. Of course this is to make matchmaking easier, but it ends up affecting those that want to play specific games. If I wanted to jump in and play a random game, I would play public games, which is something I can do in every other bloody multiplayer game in the past half a decade. I would go as far as to say that this game is the polar opposite of Something like Forza, or Halo. I really hope they change this. ARGGHHH.

Yeah the interface is at it's core a simplified version of the GTA4 phone. Without a way to customise games, it's all entirely random. There are a few other complete oversights with the multiplayer game types; the most prevalent of which would be the lack of: races, a cops and crooks game type and a survival mode akin to the Battle of the Alamo. I really hope they patch some of this in.

Tell a lie.

The football hierarchy for me goes (from best to worst): Aussie rules, Football, American football, Rugby.

anyone else at all interested in this? I played it at Eurogamer and it was pretty fun. It's kind of like a cross between Burnout and Mario Kart, made by the guys who made Pure (which I have heard good things about). 6BdaQayyM-o

I probably won't be in. My copy hasn't arrived, though I might head to town later and try to find a copy, though I expect it's still sold out everywhere.

"Generally I'm one of the best gamers I know. I don't say that to brag -- I say it to provide some context when I say that Blur, the new racer from developer Bizarre Creations (Project Gotham Racing), can be damn hard. " http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/109/1092354p1.html

I just started "Weekend Confirmed" the new shack cast. It's pretty good, I get the feel of the bombcast but more serious and generally more intellectual.

I'm waiting for it for when I play it. I have only played Shadow with it's respective complete mod.

It started sucking at about 1.40.

It doesn't matter, do it now, they know the build date.
