  1. Oh man, customizable weapons would be an awesome next step for TF2. I had an awesome vision for a flamethrower with a mustache.
  2. Manga?

    Oooh, yes, I second Monster. Another one of my favourites. It starts a bit slow, but it gets really good.
  3. Manga?

    Akira and Berserk; both are among my absolute favourites and I have read all you named above. I wouldn't bother with Bleach. I read it for a while, but it turns rather bland. If you're into the whole shonen thing, then I guess Naruto would be great too.
  4. Mice for gamers.

    Cool, I'll finally be able to play with my 5 arms and 1 extra appendage without it freaking out on me.
  5. Yes, definitely pretentious. He deserves a kick in the balls for the final sentence he speaks in that video. The music is totally fitting for the subject.
  6. Nintendo Media Summit

    Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be bought by me! It's literally been years since I last bought a game for Wii. This is weird (and maybe gross):
  7. Heavy Rain

    It was. The one before that... David Cage is a sick bastard and is going to hell.
  8. Dawn of War 2

    We already got too much people then anyway, so I think it'll be fine.
  9. Worms Reloaded

    Wow. Team 17 never gets tired of making more Worms games, eh? If it's good, then yes, I'd love to play. I haven't played a Worms game in ages.
  10. Mice for gamers.

    Haha! So true. I have one of their first wireless mice that has that stuff. I think they use some sort of plastic now, which doesn't really do that.
  11. Is innovation one of the most overused terms in gaming? I think it is. It made me despise the term a little. That being beside the point, however. I think that at this time, Jim Sterling came all over his keyboard. If that is all he is saying, then why did I bother with reading that wall of text that came before it? Why!? Gee whiz, some games are good, unless they're not. Then they're not good and can also possibly maybe be bad, depending on whether they're bad or not. A bad game is a bad game? NO REALLY? Sarcasm aside, like in any discipline 95% of the product that comes out is shit or mediocre. Not a surprise there. But hey, sometimes bad games have interesting ideas; both indie and non-indie alike. In any case, the editorial above and the surrounding discussion are completely uninteresting to me. Obvious points are obvious, yaaaawn. I think Sterling did make a good point in his previous editorial. That some art games completely obfuscate what it is about, somehow thinking that that is deep. I generally don't give a shit about what the creator is trying to say to me, because I'm not interested in what some 20 year old douche bag's thoughts on the world are. Well, that and the fact that they're all "THIS IS WHAT I THINK" if you strip away the silly layers of obfuscation and metaphor. Though, this connects to the aforementioned point that most stuff is likely shit.
  12. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    It's not on youtube, but I've been kind of enjoying this. I think it was Armchair General that introduced me to it when it just came out. Doraleous & Associates.
  13. Mice for gamers.

    Yes. Feel them. Grasp them, squeezing gently, but not too hard. Roll them around in the palm of your hand as you check for a response. Run your fingertips over the smooth area as you pull it back. Gently roll it around and around. Feel it.
  14. Mice for gamers.

    I still have an old MX510. Still fine for me. I personally wouldn't bother with anything above 50 bucks. If it's more than that, then someone is yanking your balls.
  15. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    One step removed from Idlethumbs: Idle Thumbs.
  16. Dawn of War 2

    I'd love to play as well. I only recently got the game so I'm likely crap at it, but I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. Wasn't it possible to co-op the main campaign or something? Or was that some other game?
  17. Left 4 Thumbs 2

    Oh yes. Yes, yes. This game is the best when you have two near equal teams. That was great. Thanks for the match, guys.
  18. Books, books, books...

    Everything Ghost in the Shell. If that counts.
  19. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    That commercial is in Dutch. I'm Dutch. I still have no idea what the hell that commercial is about. Chin testicles.
  20. Dragon Age

    I don't know if you can toggle the TAB function. Strafing is done by holding the right mouse button, I think.
  21. Heavy Rain

    Then Dragon's Lair is to Heavy Rain what Wolfenstein3D is for CoD:Modern Warfare. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't think that it was a landmark title either, but Heavy Rain is much more an evolution of Fahrenheit than anything else.
  22. Heavy Rain

    I can't tell if I'm supposed to take that seriously or not.
  23. Heavy Rain

    To a point, I don't think something on this level has been done; you don't give any examples of who did the same thing before it, so you might prove me wrong. Still, there is a lot of contempt for something some of you only ever read about. Although you might be completely right (I haven't played it either), I think it's good that a game like this exists. The broader the types of games that can come out and do well, the happier I am. Can't agree that it's racy because there are a pair of tits on the female. Another thing that bothers me is that both those scenes are completely out of context.
  24. Civilization 5

    I already know that I'm going to lose a lot of time to that game. I would've preferred something a bit more colourful looking, but I'll get used. Probably.
  25. Gaming virginity loss.

    Didn't we all? I think the first computer game I ever saw but never played is some football game with bigheaded people.I don't even remember what the occasion was, but my nan and mum took us shopping and then along the way I got that we were buying a NES. I can't recall getting excited about that, because I was 5 and had no idea what the hell was going on. I got Super Mario Bros and my brother got Double Dragon. The Nintendo and it's games are still with me. Best of all is that it still works!! The controllers are all scratched up and have a couple of teethmarks. Aaah, the frustration I channeled into those things.
