Squid Division

YOU MONSTER

The multiplayer is quite good too, even with the matchmaking being kinda slow.

What if they release a ninja deck?

Yeah, all the Latin they show in the game is correct too.

Just beat Uncharted 2. Overall I liked it far more than I thought I would. I loved the Indiana Jones type of adventure, and after the first few chapters the character dialogue got a lot better. The controls were far too loose in my opinion. I'd prefer something more in line with Enslaved I think. Also, holy shit I've never seen a game hate the player this much. The number of times this game arbitrarily killed me are astounding. The stats screen says that I have 129(!!!!!!) checkpoints failed or restarted. Also, the fact that the game doesn't often give you any hint as to what direction you're supposed to go unless it's a puzzle. I wish I could just hit the up button and get a hint instantly instead of having to wait for it to decide that I'm lost. Fun trivia fact: The sign in the beach scene towards the very beginning reads: Which is Ancient (could be modern too) Greek for 'Much-enduring heroic Nathan' frequently an epithet for Odysseus. My Ancient Greek major at use

Just realized I never posted mine in here. Since PSN won't let me change my ID I'm stick with my old name Eclipt1c I'll probably be adding some of you fairly soon so I have someone other than just Marek on my list.

Correct to the region locking and not coming out in the US.

What're your GOTYs of the year? For me it comes down to Red Dead Redemption and Fallout: New Vegas. I absolutely loved Red Dead Redemption's atmosphere, world, and some of the acting. The problem is that I absolutely hated almost all of the major characters' writing, especially Marston. The dialogue is so stilted and awkward and the themes are so overbearing and beaten over your head, especially by the time you get out of Mexico. Despite this, I had so much fun with the first two-thirds of the game, coming away with five days of singleplayer play time. I think RPGs really need to figure out how to maintain player progression into the late game, I think that would have made Blackwater a much more enjoyable experience. It may be as simple as locking away more unlockable content behind the later chapters, as I loved unlocking and buying all the guns. Ironically, I encountered WAY more many bugs and glitches during RDR than I did during FNV. The writing in FNV is spectacular, and the world as well fleshed out as RDR's. I love the absence of a 'save the world' main quest, the bad guys are bad, the good guys are also bad, basically everyone is bad. Your choices seem to have more consequence, and the reputation system is a vast improvement over the binary karma system present in so many RPGs. The game play is a little stale, but the iron sights go a long way to making it better. --- Honorable Mentions: Sam and Max: Season 3 kinda came out of nowhere for me. I'm not a huge adventure game fan, and wasn't a big Telltale fan from a poor experience of S&M Season 1. I went ahead and picked up the Telltale pack during the Steam summer sale and was really caught by surprise. The writing was top notch and the toys made it a blast to play. It definitely made a Telltale fan out of me. I began and beat Assassin's Creed II in 2010, but since it's a 2009 game it doesn't really count. It'd probably be a three-way tie for GOTY if it did. However, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood DID come out in 2010, and it's Roman setting set my Latin major a-flutter. Somehow I just didn't enjoy the game nearly as much as II, and I think it's solely due to the narrative structure. It just feels smaller and more condensed than II, with an overly simple story. That said, the multiplayer is a ton of fun, and will keep me playing the game for a while I think. Minecraft. What can I really say about Minecraft that everyone else doesn't already think too? My only real complaint is that the game is limited by your own creativity, so when that goes, my impetus for play the game goes. I haven't played in a while, but I'm looking for any excuse or inspiration to get back in. Alright that's me. Your turn.

Only Wii and PS3? So systems that couldn't be fooled into thinking you're doing the acts by ACTUALLY doing the acts? No Kinect spanking then I guess.

Any idea how /home will work in the nether? Will it bring you back to your regular place or will it create a separate home in the nether?

I randomly can't destroy blocks sometimes. Within the same session I can be unable to, move 12 blocks, and be able to. Maybe it's a chunk thing? And in areas where I haven't been in a bit, I can't destroy new blocks but I can destroy old ones.

Think it might be messed up again, it's acting like it was last night.

I just noticed it's rated PG. WHO is this game for?!

Who's up for a spanking? Also the party implications of this are awfully weird...

For what's supposed to be a completely new engine (right?) that combat looked awfully familiar - the same wooden swings.

Why not compromise and just bring stale popcorn?

The new launcher won't connect to minecraft.net The old one will though, and will connect to the server, even updated.

Ah that's actually really useful when I jump on at night to work on stuff a little. Can you put beds side-by-side? From the pictures I saw they look like they're only 1 block wide which is kind of weird.

Why so do they rule?

Yeah wouldn't that technically be another world the server has to render and save?

So as not to clog up the main thread, I thought I'd start one for 360 players to share their gamertags for some BC2 squads. I've been playing this a lot recently, but with Perfect Dark coming out tomorrow, my participation is going to be considerably less unless there's a good group of people to play with. Gamertag is Squid Division and I'm usually on after 5 (Eastern) weekdays, anytime on weekends.

I've been playing this a lot lately. Vietnam that is. If anyone feels like playing it, let alone has it, hop in my party, we'd be glad to have you. I much prefer Vietnam to vanilla BC2. Much more balanced weapons and snipers aren't absolutely dominant like they used to be.

ifTIuA8Dq58 I found this video very amusing.

My sum total of experience comes from watching that video series I posted and a few of the Penny Arcade podcasts, so I don't think any is required.
