  1. Ubisoft DRM

    Well since it was from denial of service attacks they'll just assume they've succeeded at punishing those pesky pirates and keep on trucking for a while at least.
  2. Portal ARG?

    The Pneumatic Diversity Vent is amazing. Also, this game needs to be out now.
  3. Portal ARG?

    multiplayer co-op sounds intriguing.
  4. Diablo III Wizard News!

    The wizard really looks like he just got yanked from the Stargate universe. There's probably a button to make his eyes glow white and make him talk in a super deep voice too.
  5. Infinity Ward - MW2 news

    I imagined the imperial march playing while kotick stomped in menacingly.
  6. BioShock 2

    I haven't noticed anything bad about graphics at all. The only thing that bugged me was that alot of the input prompts don't change after you change your keys. "Hit f to save the little sister" when I changed that key to E. Also I use the steam version, because I'm lazy and buy everything off Steam. No performance issues.
  7. BioShock 2

    Never had an issue with it. Typically you can get a refund through steam support if the game simply doesn't run on your pc. What's your specs?
  8. Recently completed video games

    What really is amazing besides the humor in barkley shut up and jam gaiden is that the gameplay actually is good and the game has actual length to it. Normally jokes don't get carried that far, but here they do and they never get old. It really helped that the game never really winks at the player, it completely plays it straight. Fuck now I want to play it through again.
  9. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I was sad to have to have my eyes assaulted by GFWL, but I lived through it and got me some batman finally. I just hope I don't want any of the other games.
  10. I found a pyro beanie! Unfortunately I don't play pyro at all anymore! Only play sniper. However I am pretty happy with my ghastly gibus, halo, and bill's hat.
  11. Manga?

    Blade of the Immortal. I've long fallen behind on it but the art is fantastic and story from what I remember was pretty good.
  12. If only you could use duct tape to create items, even showing it on the item itself.
  13. Mice for gamers.

    I've never really seen the value in spending big bucks on keyboard/mouse. I play with a basic microsoft keyboard that cost me like 15 bucks and a 20 dollar mouse. I'm generally pretty good at fps and it really doesn't bother me. The only thing I could really say is that it can be nice to have a couple extra buttons on the mouse. Also, I want to "clench my weapon" and "pull the trigger" with that fpsgun.
  14. BioShock 2

    Agreed. I think alot of people were basically expecting something in the vein of the first half of bioshock. Which would be stupid. This is simply a different story, and trying to do something different.
  15. EA Presents

    The Rapes of Wrath A Streetcar Named Destruction
  16. BioShock 2

    I have finished it now. The game is alot more fun and challenging if you don't use decoy apparently. I didn't bother getting it until near the end. Once I did I found I could roll my face on the keyboard and kill like 50 dudes. Also the speargun does not get old ever, just like any fps weapon that staples dudes to things. The game is fun. The story is good. Nothing as nice as the first half of bioshock 1 but it's not bad by any means. My only gripe is there wasn't more Rock Flannagan, PI.
  17. BioShock 2

    Rock Flannagan, PI. Nice.
  18. That is the most amazing piece of dialogue I have ever laid eyes on.
  19. Diablo III

    I wish every game was My Little Pony. People pull this crap on every single game ever. It's this whole entitlement complex that seems to grow in size to the point of choking out my faith in humanity. Another game you see this kind of nitpicking is in l4d. Holy shit. Non stop complaints on the forums over the dumbest shit. In the last patch they added bot zombies for when you don't have a full team. In the patch notes they started using PZ to refer to a play zombie. In the past it was always referred to as SI(special infected). So of course in come threads of people complaining with shit like "wtf valve, wtf is a PZ you all trying to change shit on us wtf! it's SI! Valve can't do shit right! i cant believe they ruined l4d!" As much of that is me bitching about people bitching, it's really just you'll run into that no matter what, and it's not worth avoiding a game because of it. Just enjoy the game and hope none of them infect you with dumbassery. Though it can be amusing to read sometimes...or horribly depressing.
  20. Diablo III

    I for one am offended that she doesn't come with a stripper pole and tassels.
  21. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with robot pants. I mean how could there be?! There are some buildings that simply don't go down, more so towards the end of the map. Probably a way of increasing the difficulty of taking the objective, since you can't just bombard them with tanks till the building blows up.
  22. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    I don't think there will be a lack of spontaneous awesome destruction moments. Certainly there are certain areas that are SUPER prone to "step 1) destroy thing Step 2) ??? Step 3) Profit!", but I still run into random stuff mid fight that is pretty exciting. For example the other night I accidentally found where the other team was spawning in and setting up their forward base of sorts. By some miracle of god I wasn't spotted and managed to run around behind, c4 the wall and bust through guns blazing. It's also a nice "OH GOD I CRAPPED MY PANTS" when someone pulls the same thing on you. By far the best spontaneous thing that happened to me was when i was hiding in some trees sniping. I see an explosion in the sky barely through the brush. I think nothing of it. Then all of a sudden a fucking helicopter comes flying in on fire knocking over ALL of the trees around me, skims my head and blows up behind me. It took me a bit to realize I actually hadn't died. Then I immediately thought "man fuck cod4 scripted crap, this was WAY better." Those crazy moments are what really make the game.
  23. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    Amusingly enough I use the same tactic to cover people arming the mcom when attacking
  24. Disablities and Input Obstructions with Games

    Oh god that pains me.
  25. Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    My only complaints are that medic is way OP. I ran into a team running like 4 medics in one squad and all they did was defib each other repeatedly so it was insanely hard to get rid of them. Also, I don't really dig the whole "strap a vehicle with c4 and drive it into the mcom so it blows up instantly. As far as this vs. MW...I prefer bad company. I like the bigger feel to it. In MW I constantly felt like i was in a deathmatch map, rather than an area in which there is a battle. Destructible objects also add alot. As far as teamwork goes I have run into it alot more now that people seem to have played it a bit. Though it REALLY helps to play with friends, which I normally do.
