  2. Post your face!

    Yeah but you have to be REALLY good to pass the video games entrance test, none of this baby games bullshit.
  3. The Best of PC Gaming

    For something that could absolutely not be ported to consoles (which I feel about 90% of the other games here could be or have been) is really good strategy or simulation. The top two that come to my mind are the Total War series and the Silent Hunter series.
  4. GTA IV

    I could be mistaken that there's no way to actually BUY any cars in the game? I find myself taking the taxi a lot more this time around, mostly because I get so tired of trying to shake the police, but also I like the idea of an attempt at rehabilitation for Niko. For the DLC, I presume none of the changes carry over to the main game? Do they get the full city to roam around in? If so I might get the DLC and play through that instead. I wish there was a way to supplement the radio with your own stuff.

    The church tower is the brick structure in the picture. Like I said, it's the archaeological site, not the actual fort, the first fort is in the river from the change in coastline. According to the site you linked all that stuff in the picture would be the second fort. This wasn't a tour, I was out in the middle of the river on a ferry. This is the site I used to supplement what I had already heard.

  7. GTA IV

    I just picked the game up again after stopping a few hours after the part you described. One thing I've noticed that I didn't before is the rapid characterization of Niko. He goes from being a sort of repentant, very reluctantly violent except in the case of protecting his family guy, to casually agreeing to murders without hesitation. There never seemed to be a dramatic shift that would have triggered this. Even the whole thing with Vlad seemed slightly justifiable to him, but after that it's just a series of casual murders. Also, how's the DLC? Did Lost and the Damned make the motorcycles any easier to control? Hot scoops mentioned on the latest cast that there was a type of coop thing as well.

    No or.
  9. Interesting stuff that might get you laid.

    As a classical studies scholar, I can confirm the first part of this is true. However, since nails and rope were far too valuable to use in crucifixions in Judea, the Romans used hare entrails, hence easter bunnies.

    Thought I'd go ahead and post the Colonial Williamsburg armory here as well as people might be interested. Williamsburg was the capital of Virginia after Jamestown until Thomas Jefferson moved it to Richmond. The armory played a fairly significant role in the equipment of the revolutionary army regiments from Virginia. This place is bittersweet however, as I have to drive through Colonial Williamsburg every day on the way back from school (I go to William and Mary, second oldest college/university in the US, alma mater to Thomas Jefferson and several other US presidents), and god damn every tourist slows down to look at it. The white building on the right is the court house, they have stockades out there you can still use to punish siblings.
  11. Why in the hell had that never been posted before?
  12. Life

    Did a motorcycle trip today around the James River in Virginia. It's the river and the place where the English sailed up and settled Jamestown, the first British colony in America. Pictures here but my favorite is: That's the actual James Fort archaeological site, where the soldiers/colonists landed. The big obelisk is to celebrate the 300-Anniversary (1907). The brick building is the chapel which held the first representative legislative assembly in America.

    At the risk of making all the 30-year-olds weep, these teenagers are making ME feel old at 22.

    I'm not really arachnophobic, I just don't particularly like bugs. I am swarms-of-things-phobic though.

    You motherfucker. Lets get this thread to the next page quickly
  17. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    The Insane Clown Posse Textbook Guide to Magic and Miracles, a companion piece to the video I posted earlier. It might help clarify some things.

    Oh I'm definitely in for this. My brother probably is too, so that's +2 for 360

    The iPad version is coming out in fall, the others this summer.

    QUICK NOBODY HELP HER! haha why did she immediately go down and get on her knees?
  21. iPhone OS 4

    Gah, everything sounded pretty cool up until they said that the 3G wouldn't be getting some features like multitasking. The folders look the best to me and would give me a way to dump all the shit apps that come on the phone that you can't get rid of.
  22. iPhone OS 4

    Is there a place to find out what all is in it?
  23. Red Dead Redemption

    360 for me. I'm starting to look forward to this like I haven't for a game since Fallout 3
  24. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    It's an official video for the sadly real band. I might have to post some Gathering of the Juggalos (what they call their fans) trailers in here.
